The original concern for shooting down satellites was to stop them depositing material in the ionosphere, the subject of the article. Shooting down satellites just accelerates the timeframe on which they re-enter and burn up, while making t

Only ones with spark plugs. Diesel engines don’t produce such electronic noise — hence why they’re used in radio quiet zones.

No “random nation state” is going to fire on US satellites, without a clear and compelling reason. Also, in this case it would be counter productive: you’d create huge amounts of space debris and accelerate the accumulation of material in t

We do that, though. Most people accept that animals experience sensations and take efforts to minimize their suffering, eg, when butchering, hunting, or fishing. We’re deeply concerned when people dont do that and, eg, torture small anima

When I was at Amazon, I read the SDE guidelines from HR, where they describe their view of the role. An SDE1 was expect to spend 4hr coding a day; an SDE3 about 2.5hr coding a day. That’s normal for a job, eg, apartment maintenance (my coll

Visiting a node twice implies a loop, which implies two paths between your original nodes. Let’s say we want to get from A to B, but we visit Y twice. That means there’s a segment of A~B that is Y~Y (a loop). However, since we’re talking ab

But there’s empirical results, from sports to military to meditation — you can train focus. That makes it easier to maintain your focus, as the person originally said. A few cute euphemisms don’t mitigate that demonstrated reality; and so

As a long time meditator, I’m not sure what you find amusing. Are you saying you have more control of what other people do than your own mind? If not, what are you objecting to in saying that it’s easier to control yourself than others? I

Trade apprenticeships pay you to study, in return for low(er) entry wages via the union hierarchy. This isn’t formalized into a loan, though. Which is better for the student. https://www.lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/app
