commercial planes are a bit subsonic, you’re asking for 300-400 km/h trains. high speed rail is like 200 km/h

note to self: hot metal and cold metal look the same

are they just reinventing clippy but now it will remind you about eating your daily recommended pebble?

hotdog is s sandwich, poptart is a sanwich, ravioli is a sandwich, this really does not narrow down anything

or any other arty, or any competent ATGM, or bomber drone, or mines (perhaps also laid by a drone), or FPVs detonated on command (with EFPs or something like segment of MON-100 mine)

…and that means retirees will literally starve and live on the streets? I don’t think it will. It will just be less luxurious.

you might think that japanese boomers have generational wealth in form of real estate. this is not really the case, especially for rural population. houses aren’t built to last, lose value like motherfucker and are commonly demolished after 20-30 years, in part because people don’t like second hand, in part because there’s no point of building anything sturdier if typhoon or earthquake takes it. there is some newer construction that is intended to last longer, but it’s not a very common thing. so a reverse mortgage type thing won’t exist there, and yeah lots of people will get shafted by these conditions

i think that conspiracy theories are more about feeling special about knowing some secret knowledge, lots of people fall for this and even create conspiracy theories without realizing, no matter how smart they are

that’s no news, that’s China’s final warning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China’s_final_warning

there is a common criticism of charities in general: these give some random unelected unaccountable Specialest Billionaire Boy, along with army of weirdos willing to catch a bullet for him, outsized influence over what might be millions of people. there’s also magic of money in that that big donors will be able to steer charities to serve their own goals, under threat of withdrawing funding

want to distribute resources from people who don’t need them to people who do? at scale? in a way that works? it’s called “welfare state with progressive taxation” but EAs don’t like taxing billionaires out of existence, because it takes away their control, and also takes away funding for machine god cult and ultimately makes them unimportant. my point is, some meanings of altruism don’t collide head on with being a libertarian control freak

crazy how techbros understand consent (to be recorded all the time) only when it impacts them personally (i assume that was the main problem)

you realize they had one in the past?

i assume this is in relation to this cognitohazard

Radio transmission doesn’t require state-level capacity (yes there are other barriers like cost or skill) and waves don’t care about borders. Receiving foreign radio was a big thing and it doesn’t require special equipment

they’re doing “yes/maybe later” on the public with this

behind the bastards did a 4-parter on him and he was always like this, down to cartoonishly evil backstory https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mfXbyQ9KFdg

i didn’t knew who exactly does that, but this is entire genre of paper that’s not very useful in practical terms even if it might be slightly interesting. “we found an attack that breaks airgapping!” looks inside: requires compromise in advance. the one i had in mind was about using currents from gpu power supply lines that turns out radiate, depending on power states, and cycling these rapidly allows to exfiltrate information

no, you see, exchange of opinions with charlie kirk was supposed to work like this: you get in with your opinion and leave with his
