There are anti-missile technologies. They'd be about the same things you'd use your ammunition from if you engaged these things as hostile. If they are drones, they're possibly designed as cannon fodder. They might just be testing the radar and FLIR capabilities. They might even just be testing the ability to track and target a large vessel. They may even be something classified from the US to surround its own ships and in the future help intercept inbounds. They may actually be probes from somewhere other than Earth, as highly unlikely as that is.

If there wasn't FLIR and radar corroborating one another, I'd think they might be an experiment specifically in creating false images on sensors. I'm not sure how one would go about faking both FLIR and radar in the same shape and same place with rapid motion of the images. If someone managed, the likely shapes might be a sphere or an amorphous blob.

When we talk about the distance of drones, should we be assuming these weren't launched from nearby from under the water, from above the radar's ceiling, or from that civilian craft in the video?Might they be lighter-than-air for hovering but with powerful propulsion for changing direction? I think it'd be premature given we don't know what they are to speculate on their launch point or maximum range.
> By scaling up the size and scope of the fund, you can conceivably get to a place where the dividend can work out to $10k+ per person per year.

We've done that, except the dividends to go to a few rich families instead of to everyone.
> Not a good take. These individuals have the choice of where to go. What should we say? You can’t come?

The US does say "you can't come" to most people who aren't highly skilled, so this choice of where to go comes out of the aligned interests of the US and the migrant, not a general principle.

Scammy iOS app discovered that refuses to open unless you give it a good review
When I served on a submarine, tagout procedures were followed to the letter.

A typical maintenance period might require 100 or so separate tagouts, each of which could require anywhere from one to dozens of tags. Each duty watch was required to show up early enough to go through the entire tagout book and at least know the gist of what was in progress.

Finding a loose tag was an automatic all hands all work stoppage, until it was tracked down and resolved. No questions, even if your work was in a different compartment, or had no logical connection to what he tag was for.

Each new tagout request had to be signed off on by at least three people, sometimes all the way up to the captain and not just a foreman or supervisor but one or more shop heads.

Seawater system tagouts on a floating sub were serious business.
> public discourse has three unwritten rules. Assume everyone is speaking in good faith, assume consequences of their actions that they didn't advocate for are accidental and assume that they are only working with information in the public sphere.

What?
the fact that you have to exclude inconvenient evidence to justify your argument very weakens it. I'm sick of racists comments that Asians don't matter, or they are always outliers as if they are invisible, especially when it comes to education.
Crackpot idea. The entire point of cryptocurrency mining is that you prove that you have burned X dollars worth of energy. Why not cut the middlemen and just let miners pay in dollars (stablecoins technically)? We can then donate the left over dollars to charities.

It’s unclear how you’ve reached the conclusion that #2 is unlikely without knowing how widespread the use of this technology is, and in what circumstances/locations it’s being used.

Classified military technology exists and is being tested all the time, without any high-res pictures leaking.
I would be surprised if every player wasn't fielding unmanned submarines, themselves fitted with drone tech, powered by a plutonium battery that can loiter for months, surface, release the drones, and phone home with via satellite. Doing recon with them against an enemy is the surprising thing. This could just as well be a screw up between different branches of the US military[1] as it is a peekaboo between rivals.

> It should be easier to start families because families earn twice as much.

In practice, it doesn't translate to immediately doubling the effective income. You hear many accounts of people whom their father was working a single job in a gas station, yet they afforded a house and car and other amenities. Today that doesn't happen anymore. Furthermore, the children will suffer when both parents are working.
This is not just about developers; it's really true for many kinds of knowledge work - for example, writing. It's just that in most of the other disciplines where these concerns are relevant, no-one would think of constructing a work environment that was so incredibly distraction-filled.
Does anyone know if it's possible for these objects to be suspended by wires from a less-radar-visible drone higher up?

> Why should I even need an internet connection in order to run my own scripts in my browser

Snark: because browser extensions only run on HTTP(S)-schema URLs, so you’ll at least need an active (maybe virtual) NIC with a loopback interface and a webserver listening on it, in order to see your extension running.

Reality: you don’t. You can still tell Firefox (or Chrome!) to trust a local extension in Group Policy, and it will. But only if your PC is actually bound to an AD domain, such that that GPO policy came from the AD controller rather than being something your computer created locally for itself. Because a virus can (get elevation and then) create a GPO policy to allow itself.

(You don’t technically need an Internet connection for setting up AD binding, because your AD controller can actually live on a VM that runs on the computer it’s managing. Crazy, but it works. People who pirate Windows may be familiar with a tool I won’t name here, that’s essentially a tiny wire-protocol-mimic of a VM running Windows running an AD controller running a Key Management Server.)

> But on Windows they even removed the about:config-flag to disable it. That's very rude.

It’s because Windows is where all the viruses that install malware extensions are. MacOS/Linux could run the malware extensions just as well — the extensions are just trying to [hijack your browser to] show ads/mine bitcoin/add Amazon affiliate IDs to things, and all that can be done in pure JS — but they can’t run the viruses that install them (and they’re uncommon-enough on networks to have low per-neighbour R0 even for viruses written specifically for them), so they’re somewhat protected.

I have a hard time constructing a scenario where the US a) operates these objects, b) uses them to surveil the US Navy and c) releases that information. Surveiling the Navy would be testing, like you said, why would they allow that information out?

The US state is not a single person, so maybe there's some part of the state that is removed enough from everything else that they can't/won't stop the Navy here. But that hasn't been how things have operated with previous advanced projects, so I'm skeptical of that.
Hey it did turn out the giant squids were totally real though! So that’s pretty neat. When I was born less than 40 years ago it wasn’t known if they were an actual species.

The King’s Letters
I’m an engineer and I always recommend people to use wordpress if they want to blog.
I think their reasons are simpler.

They have a pretty invasive tracking which wouldn't pass the GDPR standards and make them some money.

Most of their users are from the US.

Why would they remove all that tracking which costs money, then lose income only to allow a tiny percent of users read their news? There's nothing for them to figure out.
I'm in the same thought process of reddit. No forum has ever been easier to read through and parse than a reddit thread. I'm sorry but the forum pages of old just don't cut it anymore. They were acceptable for their time, but now it is so much harder to follow a thread compared to things like HN or Reddit.

Also with the way reddit used to be I wholly agree. There used to be good articles on there, interesting posts, memes kept to a minimum. Heck I remember when something got 1000-2000 upvotes it was a big deal for the day. I mean it just didn't feel as gamified as it does now. Plus there was some absurd and obscure stuff on there that I kinda wish this overly politicalization didn't remove because it went against one worldview. And no I'm talking about the_donald. Just any and everything, modifying policies to remove subreddits that some outrage mob hated on.

But unfortunately reddit just doesn't work well for those more obscure sub groups. I'm look at the Csharp subreddit. Basically a graveyard and you might get one or two responses to a post. Reddit just doesn't have the gravity for the particular niches with healthy activity to make it worthwhile searching there.
> They want everyone to get the vaccine so that people aren't missed who had a mild case.

i feel like "mild case" (also) subtly refers to all of the folks who said "oh, yeah, i had a cold in december 2019, that was probably covid. i've had it. no big deal."

Based on the image at the end of the page, it looks like the app does allow you to export the data in a non-propriety format. The problem was that the app couldn't launch, so the author couldn't export the data.
There's no way drones small enough to fit in a cruise missile warhead could carry enough punch to damage an aircraft carrier.
For understanding people's responses to this, I think it's best to think of it as a war. The human race is under attack, millions of us have died, and we are hurting emotionally. During this time, we've had politicians actively say we should just give up and let the enemy kill 10x as many people, and enough people have followed these politicians' views to effect the deaths of at least hundreds of thousands in the US.

This may not be your view, but it is the view of many, that we are under attack, and people's lives are at stake. A ton of people have lost loved ones. Or they've had loved ones at deaths door and on oxygen and suffering for weeks.

So while you view those vaccinated folks who don't want to be around unvaccinated people as having a "religion," it may be just that they view you as a traitor to humanity. Back during the Iraq war, I didn't support us starting it, and for that position many people treated me far far worse than simply not wanting to be at a company picnic with them. The people who treated me poorly for my views often had family who were in the military, and didn't want to think that they were putting their lives at risk for nothing. It wasn't even that the US itself was at risk, it's that they wanted their family to be risking their lives for a cause everyone supported. So when people have been fighting against a local enemy that is hurting us all, I'm surprised the reaction is so mild as to not want to be at the same picnic.

One reason to care is because some languages (go, Rust) are statically linked by default which is quite useful for system tools that can be disabled entirely by messing with shared dependencies.

This “radar data” is video of FLIR visuals captured on the screen of a FLIR system in the San Diego area. In other words, grainy video of grainy video. From a film maker with an agenda that is, by contrast, extremely clear.

If they want to talk about radar data, that would be something different from video of video. An assertion about the data is also not the data, it is just a mere assertion about the data.

FLIR is the same system that showed the tic tac objects in another incident.

Also in the San Diego area.

The pilot in the tic tac incident, Dave Fravor, said that he is a class clown type.

He also said that the programmer of the FLIR system is one of his best buddies and was at his wedding.

He said there were three other people with him on that day (2 fighter craft, 2 people in each one) so he says it’s not just him, he has others who back him up. But, notice, that is just his assertion. The other three people have gone dark and don’t want to talk. An assertion about having backup is not backup. It is just a mere assertion.

All we have for tic tac is Dave and the FLIR video.

Imagine you are a Top Gun trained fighter pilot and get to experience the immersive 3D way of being that others don’t have any inkling of. You might feel pretty special.

And then when you get back to earth, you’re just another ordinary Dave.

What if you could juice things up a little bit, so that when you’re back on the ground, people would still know how special you are? What if your buddy who works on the FLIR system could be in on it?

Again, all we have for tic tac is Dave and the FLIR video.

Kinda similar with this new incident, since everyone on board apparently was unable to locate or forgot they had their smartphones.

I would bet dollars to donuts that self described class clown Dave Fravor and his FLIR programmer buddy are still best buddies and still live in the San Diego area.

Doesn’t prove anything, but food for thought.
Being able to produce any protein in the body with mRNA seems like a pretty big leap.

It's been ~11 years since I used a distro based on pacman as a daily driver, and I was very harsh on pacman at the time. It seemed to lag behind the high-level package management tools of contemporaneous distros in terms of flexibility (and, once you had a lot of things installed, performance).

But I never, ever had it just fail to install a package, and I don't remember much fuss with dependency resolution taking manual fiddling, either.

I'd love to hear your pacman horror stories; gimme the hot package manager gossip :D
I find it far more likely that the different interpretations of UFO lead to divergent and self-reenforcing stories. What I mean by that is that UFO means unidentified flying object, which all flying objects, or even just those for which there is only a single report are classified as exactly that unidentified … opposed to identified … flying … objects.

On the flip side, the public that has both a less formal and generally lower understanding of this and other things, also led on by various forms of popular culture, have a wholly fantastical minds image when they hear "UFO".
Automatic field detection is fine and good UX for password managers. What is bad is auto-fill without user action.

There is also the possibility that there was some rotor downwash but conditions were such that it was hard to see for the witnesses. Or even that it was clearly visible but none of the sailors paid attention to it. Then somebody mentioned not seeing it and a group mentality kicked in where everyone now agreed clearly not seeing it.
It's not about overpopulation.

People used to live in caves in a static way of life that persisted for generations. Hunter gatherer societies still exist. While I can't speak for them I'm very happy that I live in modern society as compared to theirs.

> There's just not any benefit to exploring space.

I strongly disagree, what are the benefits of living? Benefits are relative and arbitrary, there are no universal definition of 'benefits'. Access to more resources and potential to leave solar system would count as benefit to me. The simple experience of just not being stuck on Earth would be another one for me.
Matt Gaetz Tells Crowd They Have ‘An Obligation’ to Use the 2nd AMD on Big Tech
Sometimes. Occasionally the images are huge and cant be used as is (or still would have to be uploaded and then linked in). Sometimes the images are in some editor (e.g. inkscape), different layers should be turned on and off to get what I want - and exporting then uploading and linking is more cumbersome. Or Images are hand-drawn illustrations done on a tablet that make the way onto the pc as pdf.

Basically, I think the best workflow may be snipping whatever is on screen, then pasting it into the markdown. The Typora software benrbay posted in a sibling comment actually seems to fit the bill very well. Thanks for that!
Sure does. The protocol only transfers authenticated encrypted data by design which is slightly different in than how TLS behaves but with the same ultimate outcome (your traffic is encrypted).
I hate _all_ sites that do this and I actively avoid them. There are many very good reasons why I might not be able to complete a form without interruption. It's not for them second guess me.

I'm only bringing up jQuery because the transition from homegrown jQuery madness to React is still a common upgrade path (even more so five years ago). I'm not claiming React is the optimal choice for anything. In many cases it is objectively the most pragmatic one, though. It has arguably the most momentum and mind share of any frontend technology ever. And it just isn't as horrible as the parent and other posts make it out to be.
Because someone would have to verify that the money was donated, which would be impossible to do in an entirely distributed way.

I've got no problem with having standup and other such things, but wish that all meetings (standup, backlog refinement, brainstorming sessions, etc) were scheduled all in one morning or one whole day out of the week, so that I could then have good 4-5 hour uninterrupted blocks for the rest of the days, instead of having an hour to work, a 20 minute meeting, 40 minutes of work, a 45 minute meeting, 15 minutes of "work", lunch, 30 minutes of work, another meeting, etc.
I read some of their illicit activity counterpoints, most sources come from crypto industry supporters. This is fine, but bias and conflicts of interest usually tends to skew to the other side - profit is a perverse motivator when it comes to finding truth (as seen with academic research)

No. In the same way that it's cool to hear dissenting political views at the local pub, but if a guy stands up and starts raving about the children trapped by the pedophile lizard people, I kinda want him to get kicked out so that I don't have to be associated with society-destroying lunatics like that. You're that guy. That guy isn't being subjected to "censorship of his idea". He's being kicked out of the establishment for being a moron and ruining the mood.
