To that add what Joe Kent and Tulsi Gabbard said about Iranian nuclear bombs -- no indications that they have one or are building one.

Like how assiduously Obama went after Bush Jr. administration.

Can you cite something to support this. Quite keen to read.

I thought cheaper and slower moving counters would be used such as helicopters, a10s or propellor powered planes with guns (rather than with an expensive missile, I did not know if APKWS). I guess, missiles shot from f15s are still cheaper

I am now seeing quite a few videos of F15s trying to shoot down drones. That seems an odd choice. Was this happening before or is it a new trend ? Is it to save on surface to air interceptors ?

Islamic golden age was an interesting time indeed. In addition to algebra, significant contribution to Optics.

Not taking anything just describing when and why the hating started. That the revolution was and is against Jews is a lie. Tehran hosts Dr. Sapir Hospital and Charity Center, a Jewish charity hospital, the largest charity among the religiou

Why do say "translator's name" ? Al-Khwarizmi authored the book Al-Jabr.

Indeed and used cleverly in Casino Royale by naming Le Chiffre that way. I knew 'sifr' was an Arabic word and only today I came to know that it works in Farsi too. The double pun/irony is that the John Sipher's surname i

Irani people's relations soured when Israel was recognized as the long arm of US and Britain's meddlesome interest, and if course the treatment of the Palestinians. Shah's personal feelings was a different matter.

Nothing much in Iran is well defended from air I suppose. Assuming, of course, the hypothetical that it's a signal emanating from Iran. The current fix seems to indicate Germany, in which case you would be correct.

Known locations can be taken out, no ?

For intelligence agencies, it is important to communicate with their spies to gather intelligence,” says John Sipher, a former US intelligence officer Is Sipher really his name. Nominative determinism strikes again

That made my day. Thanks for the laughs.

Reflections will pose a problem though. Two receivers of the same signal may not be from the same proximate source. One could from the original antenna the other from a reflection. Both could be reflected but by different reflectors. Even i

This seems to be a common treasure hunt game conducted by HAM clubs.

Thanks that was quite illuminating. I knew about ionospheric reflections to be a problem but not the others.

Does this move around geographically ? Triangulating broadcast location is a well understood craft.

Had Israel treated Palestinians better and remained within their territorial limits afforded by UN that may not have come to pass. Recall Iran was one of the very few ME countries that supported the UN charter for creation of Israel. Israe

60+ planes !? Not disputing, just interested to learn more. It seems Iran offered little to no defense against bombing raids. This may have changed recently.

All the more reasons for Iran to drop their self imposed fatwa on nuclear weapons and get a few, to put an end to interference. Iran has been on the receiving end of weapons of mass destruction, that is, chemical weapons, by way of US spons

Yes causal models are hard. NNs do ok on those time series problems where it is really about learning a function directly off time. This is nonlinear regression where time is just another input variable. Cases where one has to adjust for te

The task was slightly different and favored GBMs. Note they aren't NNs whose underwhelming performance was what my comment was about. The M series of competitions change the tasks every year to explore what models perform best under di

Except that their success in the time series domain has been rather lackluster and elusive. It will s one of the few domains where old school models are not only less work to maintain but also more accurate. There are a few exceptions here

As a novice in the history of languages and being k-lingual in a couple of Indian languages and English, the Farsi language is such a delightful stream of discoveries. Regardless of which k of my languages I restrict myself to, I end up dis

Thanks for the link. I did not know about this before. I have been to the bibliography page linked from there many times before but did not know the Icon connection. Got reminded of Durer's exquisite knot works.

Oh thanks. Did not know about the refining bit.
