F35 is good, but the cost of an adversaries old planes times the number of air-to-air a 35f can carry is significantly less then the cost of an F35, it may not be the most cost efficient way to go about fighting your enemy.

War is about winning the economics. Can your economy and industrial output out pace what your enemy destroys, vs your opponents output and what you can destroy.

Even in peace time, this is a major factor. Keeping up with the US on military spending bankrupted the USSR, at the same time as Japanese and German industries where able to leap ahead of both, since they didn't spend on military post WW2.

The US may want to have a good Military to defend against China, but if it spends too much, and not enough on civil industry (and education) China may crush the US economically, without firing a bullet.

You can have the most Nukes of any country, but at some point, you have enough nukes to do anything you want, and after that, any nuke you add is a drain on your economy. Having the "best" or "most" weapons isn't the same as having the right allocation of resources.
You describe (what might be) a perception of humor.

But that’s not the same as a joke, which even defined broadly enough not to require language, is an deliberate act chosen to appeal to such a perception.
You didn't even list any examples.

I'll say this for cannabis: it can slow my mind down a bit when I otherwise am thinking about the 500 things that are worrying me in my life, and it allows me to sit down and watch a movie when I sometimes find it very hard to get the focus to do so. Self-medicating? Sure. Will I overdose on it or suddenly act with appalling bravado, risk-taking and sometimes anger? No. It makes me want to eat junk food.

Alcohol, I believe, is much more dangerous (when used to get to the point of drunken-ness on a regular basis) for your body and behavior.

I don't like the appeal of "stoner" culture either, and I think that like any vice or substance, it can have a negative effect on abusers. Our experiences must be different.
i've done the first when serializing an arbitrary table of trace data in a jsonb column. Did it to make it compact and then realized that if all i wanted to do was show it in a UI it was much easier to parse as a html table, and only marginally harder to present an array of objects.
I used to think the same, until the last layoff wave took me out.
Or perhaps Ada.
I registered my PayPal account myself at 17, no sharing. Had it permanently blocked and prohibited from ever opening a new one 10 years later. Completely out of the blue and registering as underage was the stated reason.
> I believe working in the office is a competitive advantage

Competitive advantage for whom? The company?

It's gonna be hard to overcome to employee advantage of having a potentially absurd effective-hourly-rate when you combine a high salary with extremely low actual hours that only remote work can provide.

You can go from 40-60 hours (factoring in overhead like commute) to 15-20 and 2-3x your hourly rate. That's a huge efficiency gain.
You people have a very roundabout way of making a statement.
I worked on a project for a big Korean company that required me to work onsite with a team in Dusseldorf. I happened to be there over Easter weekend and the project was behind. I inquired as to when we would meet up to keep working, and they told me the office would be closed, so naturally I asked what coffee shop/cafe/space or whatever we'd work at instead.

The team there was shocked and maybe offended even, and I was informed it was verboten to work any of the next 3 days.

Differences in work cultures globally are staggering.
At least one reason might be backup communication when jammed. Line of sight might allow for direct laser communication (either to the piloted plane or a nearby relay to retain some stealth) in the case of radio spectrum jamming.

Another might be latency, if under active control. I imagine the purpose of the F-35 as a drone platform is less about active control and more about being a coordinator node though.

In person meetings make some participants in said meeting feel good.

Besides this factor, in person meetings can often be less effective than email or a group chat.
This is what most of the newcomers to WFH don't understand:

There is a big different between WFH for a few months where EVERYONE else is also WFH ... and WFH for YEARS where some, or most, of the others are in office.

The latter is years upon years of feeling disconnected, left out, and sidelined. The vast majority of companies even if they allow remote are not remote first. Remote first involves actual structural and procedural changes.

Lastly, WFH for years can result in a serious mental health decline. If you think you're doing fine after 1 year, come see me after 5. You'll realize by the end of it just how important water cooler conversation is for your BRAIN. You'll recognize just how bad it can be to see (as a function of your time alive) MOSTLY just your home. It does a number on you.
At a glance it seems to be the difference between mainstream tastes and mainstream deviating tastes.
That very sentence has already suggested that your coworkers are not your friends (or else they'd be in the group of "friends and family" that you enjoy spending time with).

I think the very point of GP is that there are many people who do, in fact, develop friendships with their coworkers.
Amazon's Controversial 'Hire to Fire' Practice Reveals a Truth About Management
It's ridiculously wasteful and slow to have to upload to a cloud server who-knows-where, then download it again to the computer several feet away. Yet with Android having removed USB mass storage, that's often the easiest way. It's against the interests of those who profit off selling cloud storage to make local transfers easy.
I can think of a few ...most recently probably Sanders, but I'm pretty sure Dwight Eisenhower warned about the MI Complex in speeches, and probably Kennedy too.
They have observed discrepencies in the calculations, meaning something is either wrong with the formula, or something unobservable actually does exist and manipulates the universe in such an (edit: so far) unexplainable way.
Confidence and skills do not necessarily correlate, see the Dunning–Kruger effect for instance.

Personally, if I enter some kind of contest, I am much more stressed if I know that I can win.
The more I read these conversations it becomes clear your position depends on where you are in the introvert / extrovert scale.

Some people get a lot of energy from interacting one on one with others. These tend to be the loudest voices in any office.

But so many people who are more introvered have just forced themselves to adapt.

I guess what I'm trying to say, for everyone that wants to get back to the office, many of us had wanted to get out for a very long time.
> It is needlessly provocative for the creator to claim it is a mechanical marvel and yet require blue LEDs for the clock to work at all.

What? The face design is lit, many clocks are lit, but that's not intrinsic to the design. The clock could be perfectly functional with a different face design and doesn't affect the mechanics.
>There is so much that goes into that blurb that you cannot even comprehend unless you work at a security agency/company, and many times on the specific incident in question.

Sure, but as a result that statement could also be full or complete bullshit and anyone not related would be unable to distinguish the difference. The times you've made that statement may have had substantial evidence behind them, but (presumably) you know just as much as me about what's being used to make this statement.
I will never go back to an office
I wasn't. Thank you for the link.
Surely there are other reasons to leave your home than work and other people to socialize with in person than co-workers.
The argument is that the result of that is a plane that isn't good enough for any of those roles, but is more expensive than dedicated alternatives. It will lose a fight against a true 5th generation air-superiority stealth fighter (an F-22 or equivalent). It can't support ground troops as well as an A-10. It is a more capable replacement for the Harrier (though many are sceptical that the USMC doctrine around that has ever made sense), and maybe it's good enough to replace the F-16, but it's supposed to replace all four of these (and will cost more to boot).
It wasn’t documented! :/ one of the things I learned only after my prolific college years is that despite what Cage says, if you don’t document, it didn’t happen.

If it’s at all interesting I’d add that the instrument was multichannel and I performed from a seat in the theater audience, with the outputs of the system variously directed to the quad-channel PA and to the battery-powered car stereo I had sewn into a nylon vest / jacket on my person.

Not to mention that getting your degree revoked will likely get you blacklisted from nearly as many jobs as having a conviction of some sort on your record. Especially if someone can google your name and find that you were "charged" by your university for "causing disruptions".
Yes, I very much enjoy my co-workers. Several nights a week I find myself lying in bed and notice I'm grinning while thinking about some jokes or fun we've had together. We all work 100% remote.
You're engaging in the fallacy of "what is good for me is good for everyone else."
Of all the tech giants, I understand Apple's insistence on returning to the office the most due to their secrecy, even from other departments. IIRC I've heard tales of people being blindfolded before being taken to skunkworks engineering projects.

Depends on the company. In my case, all transforming ideas I had and were able to later push successfully were a result of hallway/lunch conversations with coworkers from other teams. It gave me ability to see a lot of problems through their eyes, that informed my decisions.

This is precisely why. Iran has shown that it can, on some level, interfere with long-range communications of drones. I'm sure the Chinese have even more such capability. Having a C&C platform within the same battlespace limits communication exposure.
Read “War is a Racket”, written in 1935 by retired USMC Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient Smedley Butler for an excellent historical perspective.
Oh hey, I had this absolute exact idea 10 years ago. I ended up pivoting to something else, but I'll watch your development with keen interest :)
Do not conflate SAMs and integrated air defence systems. An IADS that cue in interceptors and guide missiles from various different platforms is massively more capable than an SAM alone and massively more survivable.

But that's considering the system outside of the doctrine. The purpose of these air defence systems isn't going to mount an eternal and fully insurmountable wall against air power.

Rather, the purpose is to greatly reduce the initial effectiveness of US airstrikes for hours to weeks until American military infrastructure can be struck.

Stealth does not increase the complexity of radars. They simply operate on a different wavelength. This took some engineering to increase the precision but there is no reason for a VHF radar to be any more complex than an X-band radar.

VHF radars in many ways are more practical than X-band radars because the lower frequency allows for more mobile and more survivable radar infrastructure. For example, Israel struck Chinese VHF antennas in Syria. But because the antennas were relatively cheap and decoupled from processing, the Chinese were able to swap out the antennas and repair their radar in a day or two, thousands of kilometers away.
Sure, there are ways that would pretty much nuke most of the ransomware business. For example application whitelisting. I wish it was more popular.
I would think that would be more justification for the F-35 as a drone coordinator or controller. It might allow for alternative control mediums (direct or relayed laser, for example), even if maybe eventually only used to update the general mission parameters of the drone if it's controlling itself (i.e. abort, change target, etc).
Compared to the dnf, zypper feels slow because it doesn't support parallel package download. If you have a good network bandwidth it might be on under utilized. I'm also a Tumbleweed user and when doing a dup of full rebuild slowness is more noticeable.
I don’t know exactly how public any instances would be, but presumably the large and well funded intelligence complex of the US would have the cyber forensic capabilities to potentially trace bad actors. Pairing this with the physical intelligence agencies, if the US truly wanted to find these individuals and take them out I’m sure they could. Recommended reading on the history of only one of these intelligence agencies (and the somewhat extrajudicial way in which they often operate) is Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner, which is a fantastic history of the CIA.
This is a clear sign. If you get thousands of responses on Twitter, and no interest whatsoever on your personal platform, your only value to those who used to engage is the spectacle you created in that other environment. Nobody cared about what Trump was saying - they only cared about the excitement in the responses.

Twenty year old blog technology with no social aspect (and fake upvote buttons) is hardly spectacular. It's not the game changer he promised.
Hm I feel like I wouldn't be disciplined enough for that though.
If I got a taste of video games or TV, then I wouldn't want to stop.
So I feel like it's just better to stop entirely and never touch them again.

Did you read e.g. Sokal and Bricmont's Intellectual Impostures, aka Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science?!

Set out to show how numerous key intellectuals have used concepts from the physical sciences and mathematics incorrectly, Sokal and Bricmont intentionally provide considerably lengthy extracts in order to avoid accusations of taking sentences out of context. Such extracts pull from such works as those of Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, Paul Virilio, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Luce Irigaray, Bruno Latour, and Jean Baudrillard, who—in terms of the quantity of published works, invited presentations, and of citations received—were some of the leading academics of continental philosophy, critical theory, psychoanalysis, and/or the social sciences at the time of publication.

The book provides a chapter to each of the above-mentioned authors, "the tip of the iceberg" of a group of intellectual practices that can be described as "mystification, deliberately obscure language, confused thinking and the misuse of scientific concepts." For example, Luce Irigaray is criticised for asserting that E=mc2 is a "sexed equation" because "it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us;" and for asserting that fluid mechanics is unfairly neglected because it deals with "feminine" fluids in contrast to "masculine" rigid mechanics. Similarly, Lacan is criticized for drawing an analogy between topology and mental illness that, in Sokal and Bricmont's view, is unsupported by any argument and is "not just false: it is gibberish."

Nicely done. One can study equations all day long and not get the kind of insight a good interactive visualization provides in just a few minutes.
No, I want them to be held accountable for when they are wrong, and the hypothetical example of a good facial recognition system removing human bias was an example of that, and could protect people from the other example the post I replied to, which was search warrants granted under a single unreliable source's statement.

Facial recognition isn't going to care that you procured illegally distributed copies of protected works (your ISP already does that anyway), so lets stop moving the goal posts. It is a reactive, not proactive system, and while I am not fully convinced that it is actually ready, I am also not buying the slippery slope nonsense.
The visible parts of the illuminated elements are, I believe, completely static. Without the backlight shining through the internal mechanism you cannot tell the time.

Moreover, the backlighting is so in-your-face that it requires the lay observer to do quite a bit of mental hopping around to align with the idea that this is a mechanical clock.

It hardly goes out of its way to convince you it truly is mechanical.
>Confidence and skills do not necessarily correlate, see the Dunning–Kruger effect for instance.

D-K can be summarized roughly as “self-perceived relative skill is directly correlated with actual relative skill, but systematically compressed toward about the 70th percentile”. (For some reason people mistake the finding that those at the bottom of relative skill perceive their relative skill higher than it is, and those at the top perceive theirs lower than it actually is for an inverse relationship, when it involves nothing of the sort.)

So, it is not at all an illustration of non-correlation between confidence and skill.

I don't work in radar/military stealth, but my argument isn't that you're wrong about any of your technical claims. Rather, my argument is that the F-35 was designed and purchased by people who are at least as aware of those technical details as you are. This is an assumption, but I don't think it's a huge one. As a nitpick, the F-35 may still be operational in 50 years, just as the B-52 is operational today. The question is whether its stealth will still be useful, not whether it can get airborne. Nobody is using the B-52 for its stealth anymore (happy to be proven wrong), and the decision to lean on the F-35's stealth capabilities for 50 years won't simply be "The B-52 has been running for 69 years, nice!"
Haha that's a good idea on trying to ban yourself.

Relativity matters in GNSS in general, but it doesn't really matter for the issue of spoof detection; relativistic effects would be solved for by both the attacker and receiver. There's no uncertainty in them.
As the parent post pointed out, questionable warrants are already supposedly trivial to get. This system, being more auditable as a single source rather than individual anonymous statements, means that it is far less likely to stick around if it consistently punts out bad matches.
>As it is right now Russian VHF radars can already guide dual-guidance missiles onto an F-35 close enough for them to detect the F-35 with their radars.

Well, it's also fair to say your comment is designed to cast doubt on the article's claim, despite the fact that you have no proof whatsoever to the contrary.

> One past example of a "hacking group believed to have links to the Chinese government" was someone they suspected as a hacker taking an rideshare to a large office building that rented space to a government organization.

Did they say it was the only evidence they had to tie the incident to China linked hackers, or was that one thing they were willing to share?
>Without answering that question, how can you say that the F35 costs too much?

How much is too much to spend on bayonets pre WW1 to face the machine gun?

The F-35 is a 1.5 trillion dollar bet on human dog fighters who cant execute high G maneuvers in a world
dominated by fleets of cheap, disposable, AI piloted drones that can. Nagorno-Karabakh and Yemen have already shown a taste of this.

>One of the few things that gets passed in a bi-partisan manner by the US legislature is the military budget

The F35 is curious in this regard because it is so heavily criticized by Congress yet still funded.

This is coz Lockheed distributed F35 jobs across the country on the basis of congressional votes. A vote to kill the F35 is thus a vote to destroy jobs in your district. Lockheed engineered the world's most unkillable military program and then milked it to kingdom come. The shareholders are certainly happy.

This is, sadly, the most impressive form of F35 engineering.

We will look back on many things after the next war and shake our collective heads but I suspect the most glaring and shameful error will be our willingness to indulge corporate profit margins at the expense of the body politic.
I always thought I would be a sure-fit for permanent WFH, but your comment absolutely nails it. My biggest problem is that a large proportion of interactions with remote work is formal, in a sense. No casual chat, no social “grease”. If you started a remote-only job in a pandemic, it is so easy to become disconnected, and disincentivized with colleagues that only exist in 2D asking for PR reviews. Really did a number on me.
> Generally, yes. If you don't work in the field, I doubt you can even read a single paper, let alone identify errors.

I doubt you have enough knowledge about sciences and the process of learning in general to discuss this matter, let alone to make bold claims on other people's ability to reason about findings of various papers.

> That's always been the case. But yes, if you are not an expert or knowledgable about a topic, your opinion generally does not mean anything. I know this is hard for people to hear.

It's fun to watch how quickly you switched from the original "unless you're an expert in a field" to "if you are not an expert or knowledgable about a topic", and yet you are stil unable to admit that you said a silly thing in the first place.

Also, what you are saying has never been the case in scientific circles. It's been the case in the circles around them, among the people with less intelligence yet unjustified ambition: "expert" is the same phony concept as "prestige" - a token of a social climber who is seeking a stamp of committee approval, and who couldn't care less about the actual knowledge in the field and the pursuit of truth.
How do you gauge when it's time to leave? What indicators do you use?
