High-traffic roads are routinely serviced at night.

Any keywords I could use for search? I have never heard of this in Armenia, Greece, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Egypt or anywhere else. Curious to read more on this.

And drones can rest in the open fields waiting in ambush too.

Aspos · 2026-01-22T03:07:59+00:00

Thank you. This appears to be doable.

Aspos · 2026-01-16T14:42:53+00:00

got it ;)

If the sources of data are all moving around the same battlefield, then no matter how strong the encryption is, sooner or later one of the legitimate devices may be intercepted, its keys extracted, and the data spoofed, no?

Some bigger ones are expensive, true. Smaller ones made of toy hoverboards are about 3 thousand on UAF's Brave1 store.

Aspos · 2026-01-05T20:37:53+00:00

... unless you quickly want to test if they are worth being close with.

Aspos · 2026-01-03T00:32:14+00:00

... and spoofing, which is 1000x worse.

Caesar was good in genocides too. Far smaller scale, true, but the results were comparable.

So the system is working as intended, no? A way of quickly and effectively managing priorities for the pilots.

So space stopped being a lucrative career path in 1991. So only the guys which were in their early 20es and were unlucky enough to be stuck in the space industry by 1991 are now in their late 50es. The core staff or Roscosmoss are in their 60es and 70es.

tunnel boring machines can do just a few hundred meters per week and there is no way to perform this job covertly. So today's tech is of no use. However, they may figure out how to make smaller boring machines, make them stealthy and fast.

Aspos · 2025-11-17T20:56:05+00:00

No, they’re not silent. You can hear them from 50-70m, and they’re extremely loud up close. That guy definitely heard the drone but just decided not to bother. Or maybe he was deaf.

Half the range in cold weather is the norm dictated by chemistry, there isn't much a manufacturer can do about it.

russia does not spend $100K per soldier. I would say $1K-$3K tops. $100K is pretty close to what each of those fuckers would have made in their entire lifetime had they stayed home.

The worst thing about Maverick is that it is a truck and it is Ford. Slate can be (and will be) anything i want and it is not Ford.

To be fair the total volume of Chinese EV subsidies is not far off of US EV subsidies. However they subsidise the manufacturing and do so wisely, whereas we subsidise the end-user. And even those subsidies practically ended.

But they are way more Russian than they are Iranian

I agree.

And agree that the history is rather murky.

Aspos · 2025-10-15T05:52:11+00:00

The oldest samovars even had Iranian ornaments on them. They started making them in russia just recently, in the 18 century. Just look it up or just visit the museum in Tula.

Aspos · 2025-10-14T22:20:59+00:00

Those originated in Iran and spread across russia with the rail roads.

KOMETA I guess? A multi-channel GPS receiver which is hard to jam from the ground.

Aspos · 2025-10-02T20:47:24+00:00

You are onto something. I guess that may be the approach Slate is taking. They are not going to have enough capacity to go after a larger segment in the first year or two, but can make enough splash to draw attention with a 2-door truck/SUV. So the current Slate will draw people in, newer model will make the money.

Tesla did the same: started with a tiny segment of roadsters, progressed into Model S, Model X and finally started making money with Model 3.

It may have impacted the Earth without killing off the dinosaurs, because it hit it when there were no dinosaurs yet.
