Quantum computing doomsayers are mostly anti-quantum zealots
Political violence close to me: On Saturday, Ladislav Jakl – a very close life-long collaborator of the Czech ex-president Klaus and my fellow lecturer in a climate bi-lecture we gave to Southern Bohemian schools in Fall 2014 [Jakl-Motl just rhymes, doesn't it?] – was brutally attacked in the Prague Subway. The number of attackers was probably two. One of them screamed "You are that Jakl, the leader of SPD". The attackers were clearly warriors for diversity, peace, and love. He's not really a "leader" in any way, not even a member, he was just running for SPD to Senate once and fail... more »

The F-35 Is Getting Old: Why 6th Generation Fighters Will Dominate Everything
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Be prepared. *One of the F-35's key innovations is its ability to soak up sensor data and share it via datalinks to friendly forces, creating a composite ‘picture.' This could allow a stealth aircraft to ride point and ferret out adversaries, while friendly forces maneuver into advantageous positions and sling missiles from further back without even turning on their radars.* The American development and deployment of Fifth-Generation stealth aircraft like the F-35 Lightning is one of the central stories of today’s security zeitgeist.

Historians Rate Trump As The Worst President In History-- Biden Would Probably Rate As The Second Worst. He's Not What We Need Now (Or Ever)
Biden is playing it very cautious, keeping away from voters and making sure every situation he's in is tightly controlled by his campaign.
