Community notes has done so much to help obvious and blatantly false information on X. I can't believe that instagram and other platforms haven't implanted it yet.
The article ignores the fact that you need radar to find targets for your IR missiles. Infrared Search and Track (IRST) systems have a fractional range of radar and require ideal weather to reach their maximum distance.
In other words, you can target the F-35 but only when it's on top of you dropping bombs on YOU from much further away.
The fact that they are not going to release this DANGEROUS model is also a huge tell that it's nothing but an incremental improvement over the status quo.
I can't believe the effectiveness of this type of marketing. It's one-shotting normie journalist and getting a lot of press for what is ultimately going to turn out to be an incrementally improved model.
I'm sure all they've done here is spend unlimited tokens to find bugs in mostly open source projects (and fuzz some closed source ones).
I’m learning the opposite lesson. The US is surprisingly fragile and a single president with no morals or ethics can do far more damage than anyone could have imagined.
It's a lot more than "a single president". It's the two thirds of American voters who either voted for him or couldn't be bothered to vote against him, even after having seen how he behaved in his first term.
That's why he's not the biggest problem. He's more of a symptom than a cause. He won't be around for ever, but even after he's gone, most of those same people will still be around.
no i believe we were taught correctly that the powers of the presidency are limited. the issue is that he is the leader of a group that is embedded into every branch of government at multiple levels. it is not hte case of a random crazy president abusing presidential power and everyone is just at the mercy of a lunatic. It is the case that every wild thing he does is upheld and supported by a large network of people who otherwise would have the power to absorb and dismiss his attempted actions.
Nah, it's more like the United States is vulnerable to 50 years of reactionaries, upset about things like civil rights for African Americans and women in particular, actively working to dismantle democratic processes.
That's why farmers vote for politicians and policy that put them out of business. In my hometown, the county went from 150 dairy farms in 1990 to 3. They voted to keep their guns or whatever bullshit they were told to worry about, and were wiped off the map by the deregulation they "wanted". My little town is a rural ghetto, the richest people in town now are the school principal and state trooper.
POTUS is an acute condition. The sickness lay deeper.
She could have easily saved 50+% of her tuition just living in state for 2 years, and attending community college counts. She didn't even need to pause her education or delay graduation.
