It's a mixed bag of a blog post. Reading it, and your response, I see all of this as growing pains. The Rust async split mentioned in the post is a legitimate issue. It's also a consequence of immaturity. Rust async underspeci

"making former employees sign extremely restrictive NDAs doesn’t exactly follow." Once again, we see the difference between the public narrative and the actions in a legal context.

This is absolutely correct. The air-to-air game is very complex and high-G is still a thing. And yet, this is small ball stuff. When I think of all the possible ways autonomous combat aircraft will revolutionize air combat it's a bit

High G is one limitation of human pilots. The added mass and aerodynamic compromises needed for human operation are another. Pilot fatigue is yet another. Training cost is probably the greatest problem. Pilot shortages has to be in the

What is indicative of market value is the fact that the auction yielded no better buyer. These stories about huge markdowns of commercial real-estate are not surprising. This case is indicative of the predicted instability in local and reg

I never mentioned China. Mexico is at least as likely as China. Tesla is already in Mexico, building out another "gigafactory" battery plant.

by topspin 2y ago
All of the initial production from this plant is spoken for. Part of the deal that secured the funding, exemptions, fast-tracking, tax breaks, etc. is a big public utility battery facility in the state (MI).

It's actually the successor to the "inflation is solved" narrative. "Transitory" was before that.

It did. Suvorov has said some cringy and contradictory things, but it seems to me that if you simply take what he has written at face value you'll be closer to right than wrong nearly every time.

Victor Suvorov wrote about GRU illegals 40 years ago in Aquarium. For all the shade thrown at his writing since, it sure has aged well. Here we are with bombings, poisonings, corruption and GRU agents creeping around in Europe today. He w

I suppose it could: the term "probabilistic" applies to the quantum probability of any one metastable isomer (excited nucleus) decaying to ground state. In application you measure large numbers of decays, and in great numbers the

And then the nuclei return to the ground state. That process is probabilistic and measured in half-lives. The key point is that the decay back to ground state happens at a very precise rate that is not influenced by effectively anything,

Isn't the ARRL kind of outmoded these days though? Before the internet they were the US clearing house of all quality ham publishing and a great deal of organization. They had a big role to fill. Today, however, that communication f

Probably the former but possibly the latter. Sometimes "conditions" are such that a tiny amount of power will go a very long way. Right now, near the peak of the solar cycle, 4 watt CB radios are sometimes heard thousands of mil

Indeed. DX Engineering is exactly what I would have thought as well. Half their catalog is MFJ.

One thing to remember about ham radio is that there is a bit of natural bias in the demographic: a lot of the stuff involved requires a certain minimum amount of things that older people tend to have. Property being one of the keys. HF an
