The article says they are distributing drone operators among most infantry units like Ukraine is doing - it seems like not doing so now is a big mistake among modern military - though the movie Warfare fictionalizes a little bit, it had Navy SEAL units deploying at least observation drones with each unit in 2006, offensive and defensive drones would require a bit more specialized loadout and training plus spread out through entire army and marines is a big change - the long development times of US military equipment also muddies the waters. edit: this article from two years ago illustrates what Ukraine was telling the public at least. https://www.reuters.com/graphics/UKRAINE-CRISIS/DRONES/dwpke...

The initial murder case Kovacs investigates in both the book/show involves a wealthy man who is killed but has his backup mind inserted into his backup clone so he is “recovered” so the victim has no memory of his killing since the backup was prior to killing instead of optimally just prior to death. There is also a big subplot that is show only with Kovacs’ sister and clones.

Audiobook is outstanding with sound fx, if one is into that.

Lots of lucky trades timed just prior to and in aftermath of latest Trump social media announcement. It could be coincidence or not.

Yeah this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

The Apple gold and glass plaque of kowtowing and subservience was first.

If it's anything like the sport of bicycling in the USA, for a long time it's been a sport of caucasians, this is changing a bit but it trickles all the way up just from a sampling of who represents the USA at the Olympics and World Championships. Possibly a combination of the high cost of entry with the clique-ishness and the sport requiring quite a bit of free time and the support or money to have that much free time. Not talking about kids riding around the neighborhood but people who continue or start riding as adults, so not a social shift at all but existing demographics.

Not only that but if they claim they were afraid for their life, that excuse is used to justify any action, which works short of admitting wrongdoing on video and in post incident interviews.


I remember my professor talking about eigenvectors in Linear Algebra and it's been 50 years - though I barely remember anything else from that class. It was taught very early on in the course and eventually we used them all the time to solve problems.


Yes, I was taught about eigenvectors but not that they’re a fixpoint of matmul. At least I don’t think so.


The books Why Nations Fail and The Narrow Corridor (by two of the winners of past years Nobel Economics award, both books are a simple thesis and lots of historical examples IMHO) will have to be updated to include this and other current events in the USA. This is one of many aspects mentioned in both books.


People commit suicide with it because it's supposedly painless and quick.


Same applies to every gas that isn't carbon dioxide. Your body only cares about expelling CO2, it hasn't evolved a way to detect oxygen in the breathing gas mix. Divers know all about this.
