Yes, this can't be dismissed. (It's also plausible the military could be intentionally deceiving some of its own personnel, for some purpose. So a military pilot recounting a story may not necessarily be lying.)

Obviously such a claim would need evidence and a plausible motive and shouldn't be suspected without evidence; but, also obviously, it's one of many hypotheses that would have a much higher probability of being true than extraterrestrially-originated visitation.
Some commercially available themes do it during installation. I was surprised to find that also as this contradicts every instinct I have as a web developer.

I predict this post (like every other post about not interrupting programmers) is going to trigger an avalanche of "shut up and do your jobs and stop complaining, you spoiled lazy coddled whiny programmers". It seems to be lost on negative commenters that giving programmers (or anybody else for that matter) the freedom to do their jobs well benefits everybody. I sometimes suspect that the interruptions, like the horrible open offices and pointless standup meetings, are put in place not because anybody even perceives them to be a benefit, but as a "muscle flex" to remind the workers who's boss, regardless of how detrimental is it to everybody, including the boss.

Apparently Phalanx CIWS ammo costs $15-30 per round (numbers all over the place depending on ammo type and age of information).

On the other hand engaging a target typically uses 100+ rounds or ~$1500-3000 per target.

Definitely cheaper than a good drone (~$5000-20000?), but maybe not far cheaper.

In Switzerland the government does not want people who have had covid within the last six months to get the vaccination.

Additionally if you do want to get the vaccination after 6 month they only want you to get 1 shot not 2.

Does the US not differentiate between those who have had it and those that didn't?
Median scenario: so you grow up in that world, then go through 2 world wars, a few pandemics, the loss or death of most of your friends and family, gradually disconnect from the rest of society, just so you can see what amazing thing humanity will invent next (spoiler alert: it's more phones and huge cars and maybe a dozen folks living in tunnels on mars), while the forests are ripped out and the oceans boil and nature is paved over and your body turns to crap. Amazing, sign me up.

> This API is not intended for UI usage, so why not do this?

There are HTTP clients that are incapable of sending a request body with a GET request, because the original HTTP/1.1 RFC [1] says that a client must not send a request body in a GET request. This has changed with newer RFCs, but 2616-compliant clients still exist.

If you're going to do this, you need to support POST as well, to accommodate those clients. Indeed, ElasticSearch accepts both methods. At that point perhaps you might consider whether it's worth doing just to have a conceptually clearer HTTP method. My take on TFA as it pertains to this issue would be: why bother with the strict adherence to perceived REST principles here? The search API endpoint is not a resource that you're requesting that is identified by that URL; it's an operation you're performing, so why not just treat it like the RPC that it really is?

[1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2616

Of course people point out things they think are falsehoods in his debunking. It's YOUTUBE. And the guy has (in a very rational and sensible way) angered a lot of Muskrats over the years – no wonder he attracts such comments.

Would you care to actually point out what parts of Thunderf00t's debunking you object to?

I also cannot fathom how a real scientist debunking wishful thinking gets labeled a "pessimist" by the science fans (I'm not calling you a science fan, I'm talking about the horde of Muskrats that are very angry with Mason).

That being said: I do believe the stuff this article is about is different from what Mason debunks in his video (his video predates this release), so I don't think we should consider the two together at all.

>It's strange how the same people who scream "TRUST THE SCIENCE" the loudest seem to ignore your body naturally producing antibodies to Covid after you've been infected and recovered.

It's not strange at all. Human beings have probably been doing this since not too long after languages developed:

Do 'X' because 'Y', since 'Y' is in agreement with my opinion and personal interests of you doing 'X'.

'Y' may be science, religion, math, emotion, whatever. The point is that many people will push information they want pushed with and later contradict themselves if need be as long as they can consistently push the information they want. The arguments and rationale are usually secondary, not the primary driver.

Politicians do this a lot. It's lying in the form of intellectual dishonesty or sheer ignorance. Many highly religious people push firm accordance with their religion or their interpretation of their religion, while allowing their own desires to shape those ground rules: they pick and choose which rules to follow literally and which to interpret, and so on.

There are a lot of people out peddling things in the name of science but they don't understand science: evidence, process, uncertainty, etc. When it comes to COVID we've learned a lot but there's still a lot of uncertainty around a lot of aspects in various studies and we need to understand that with humility and act accordingly.
Why can't it be OUR military testing classified tech against OUR very best systems? If our best can't tell what it is, nobody can.
The source is one of the merits. If you are getting the material from a source that is well known for fabricating "evidence" then it must be treated as suspect.

You and I both know that certain ideas just could not be entertained in any way shape or form. It had little to do with proof. And what would this proof look like exactly? We are all reading the same internet bs for the last year. All anyone could do was speculate, and certain speculations were off the table for political reasons.

You are trying to retroactively justify your agreement to silence certain opinions, which is wrong, dangerous, and you should be ashamed.
A nice compromise between "pay a sketchy moving company thousands to haul your stuff to another city, eventually" and "get rid of everything you can't fit in checked baggage" is to ship your stuff to yourself (or someone you trust to hold onto it temporarily in your new city) via UPS.

It's all up for debate now, but the wildlife hypothesis gains its plausibility from the similarity of SARS-CoV2's similarity to coronaviruses in pangolins sold in China's wildlife trade. The wild animal/bushmeat trade is considered responsible for the 2003 SARS outbreak as well as HIV, so it's certainly plausible it spread through wet markets (although probably not the specific Wuhan wet market it was initially discovered in).

TBH, the lab leak hypothesis should seem less damaging to the Chinese government's reputation than the wet market hypothesis. On one hand, you have an isolated failure of lab safety protocols, on the other, you have decades of government support of wild animal trade despite mountains of evidence for its risk of zoonotic disease outbreak, not to mention environmental costs.

So far there's been nothing but low-quality video, service member reports, and now apparently radar.

All well and good, but where are the artifacts? Objects or material of unexplainable origin.

The evidence being reported is easy to fake. The military has lied to the public for many years when it suits their interests. The default position should be that the sightings are either:

1. part of a disinformation campaign for an as-yet unknown operation

2. a weapon system developed by one of the world's many militaries

The bar for extraterrestrial classification is high because the claim is so extraordinary. Not one iota of physical evidence explainable only by extraterrestrial visitation has ever been publicly presented.

Since 2010 or so, almost every human has carried a device capable of taking photos and yet even the photographic evidence for extraterrestrial craft is still underwhelming.
We probably can't "simply" do that, in that the Constitution is a document with actual meaning.

I would also note that there are existing platforms that effectively make political views a protected class. It turns out they are not very popular, because most people don't want to hang around with people for whom the 14 Words are an important political view.

In practice, a platform can either have haters or the people they hate. Insisting a platform accept all the haters means you're guaranteeing the people they hate will go elsewhere. That's why Twitter has moved away from the sort of policies you favor. As an example, look at when Milo Yiannopoulos led a wave of racist abuse toward Leslie Jones. Twitter had to choose between keeping her (and a lot of her fans and people who just don't like open racism) or Yiannopoulos and his fans.

So the notion that we should override the Bill of Rights to make Twitter platform everybody is not only anti-freedom, but also won't in practice work. If somebody doesn't like Twitter's rules, they should do what you're doing: post somewhere else. There are platforms ready and waiting to take them.

>> I act responsibly and do not go out when I am sick.

a. you caught covid, so does your approach work?

c. you get vaccinated and a flu shot for the holistic group, i.e. society. When individuals talk about personal rights and the "me" I question if they get this.

>> I have continuously been near or around folks that have come down with Covid and have yet to encounter a second infection or positive test since my initial infection. I look forward to when greater fact-based realities start to take hold again.

OK, here's one: your casual anecdote is not a factual reality.
100g is an acceleration of 1000m/s/s, so after 1s the thing would be 1km away. Yet this was infer by eye. These fantastic values are made up on the spot and not instrument-based measurements.

Also, these stories always assume radar have no failure mode, no false indications, no possibilities of fooling. IOW, enthusiasts ignores and never consider failures but adopt never seen, never encounters aliens with impossible tech that always happens in isolated area with no other capabilities to monitor.

And all that does not even start to account for the impossibly large inter-stellar distances.

I'll take weird failure over hugely fantastical theories.

The thing I worry about Universal Income, which the Alaska situation seems to be, is that there will be a bifurcation of people who need the UI and spend it every month and the people who put it into an investment. I guess if the checks keep coming it is not an issue, but if there is an event where the UI has to stop there will be a lot of pain. I think some sort of forced savings, that is only able to drawn upon at a certain age or for certain catastrophes is required. I guess you can only prevent people from being stupid so much, but what sometimes seems stupid is just people doing what the have to, to survive.

I think the sovereign wealth funds have a lot of the same problems the social security has. Politicians will borrow against it and never pay it back. From what I have heard some middle eastern countries had a sovereign wealth fund that was mismanaged, I guess if you have a competent government it is fine, but you don't always get to decide that.

Overall, I agree with you that both of these are a good way to distribute society's prosperity to the people.

I've asked that question. I use it as a way to offer an alternative demonstration of work to developers who are early in their careers. It's not about seeing the code as much as it is wanting to see that a person has taken software through the full lifecycle.

Is this also true with sonar and whatever other SIGINT capabilities the modern Navy would have? I could certainly buy it going undetected - in Commander Fravor's case, the tic tac incident occurred a pretty far distance away from their training area, I believe.

But I would also think the Navy would the best available technology and techniques to detect what would probably have to be a foreign submersible in their waters, and that if this were routinely happening they'd likely end up detecting it eventually through some means. Or if it were one of their own skunkworks crafts, they'd probably figure that out afterwards. (I know very little about this field, though.)

Or even if they did fail to ever detect it beyond a few eye witness reports from pilots, I'd think this would be at/near the top of their list of plausible theories.

If this is indeed an explanation for some of the incidents, I could believe that they have in fact identified it and are doing some kind of psyop/deception operation, perhaps to confuse or signal to a foreign power.
