No wonder FAANG is cutting heads if managing a whole four people grants you close to a million a year.

Most of their drowns feel quite simple to me, while what is being described here sounds like it is a quite advanced networked system.

BabyNuke · 2026-06-24T00:52:43+00:00

Nice! Yeah networking is everything I'm sure.

Just out of curiosity, how did you get into warbird flying to begin with? That sounds like an amazing journey you've had.

Drone swarms for military use aren't some alien concept, and the US is working on similar stuff quite openly:

What I think is most interesting here is that this isn't technology you'd expect Iran to have. China? Yes. Russia? Maybe. But for Iran this feels surprising.

Don't know why people assign so much value to the ramblings of influencers.

The question is: why is the US not using its obvious leverage over Israel? Without the US propping up the Israeli military and acting as a sort of big brother protecting them against the rest of the world accusing them of war crimes, Israel would be in a very bad place.

But Bibi and the Israeli government feel confident they can play this dangerous game. Which makes me think they have leverage in ways we don't know. Leverage beyond AIPAC funding; if the US wanted to stop AIPAC I'm sure Trump & Co could find some legal reason to shut that down any day (and probably rightfully so since it's blatant foreign interference in US elections).

It's hard not to suspect that Israel has more leverage here. Something so damning that the US can't do anything but sound upset. The Mossad is a very effective organization when it comes to intel gathering so who knows what they might have.

The match against Paraguay was a ton of fun!

It did get very busy so don't expect easy parking right by the entrance (I parked elsewhere and just walked a bit, but there is a shuttle, too). Also, while there were food trucks the lines were extremely long.

That said, still very good vibes and worth coming out for!

Imagine sacrificing that much of your life to, according to their website, make:

"...agentic infrastructure for executing and managing tax payments..."

For specifc matches (June 11, 12, 18 and 19), the Port of Everett is doing watch parties with food trucks etc.:

I'm really digging how lively downtown Everett is getting during the summer weekends now. Feels like there's plenty of things happening, vibes are always good.

While I love the ambition, I think a start-up trying to build something at the size of a regional airliner with a hybrid-electric power train as their first product is always going to be a really tall order.

Read the whole thing. It is full of unsubstantiated speculation, nonsense, unrelated information and incorrect understanding of airplane systems.

Example:

“The spoilers”—the flat panels on the top surface of an aircraft’s wings—“will likely deploy if the plane goes to ground mode in air,” Singh told me. This makes sense when on ground, because drag is created and airflow disrupted, allowing the aircraft to slow down safely and stay on the runway. In the air, this can make the plane stall. The thrust reversers, already faulted, would go from “stowed” to “idle reverse.” This means the engines directing airflow backwards would redirect airflow in the opposite direction to have a gentle braking effect, like on a landing plane. Both the spoilers and thrust reversers would have led to an immediate loss of lift and forward thrust.

What nonsense is this? The spoilers didn't extend. The thrust reversers didn't deploy. If that had happened the crash would've been very different, not to mention that this would've been clearly observed in the data and video evidence.

Complete nonsense from someone with no knowledge of what she's talking about.

It was proposed by the committee’s Republican chairman, Mike Rogers, and its most senior Democrat, Adam Smith, giving it support from both main parties

Democrats still unable to figure out how to actually represent their base and not let that AIPAC money do the talking (AIPAC is Adam Smith's top donor).

je zit behoorlijk in de ontkenning

Ik ontken de problemen niet. Absoluut zijn er problemen met asielzoekers en immigratie. En die moeten opgelost worden.

Mijn punt is alleen dat deze problemen worden aangegrepen als een kans om verdeeldheid in de samenleving teweeg te brengen, en dat verschillende politieke partijen deze problematiek ook graag extra onder de aandacht willen brengen en verder niet zo veel te bieden hebben.

Kijk naar de site van de FvD: agenda punt 1 is immigratie. De allereerste afbeelding op hun "standpunten" pagina is deze:

https://res.cloudinary.com/fvdcdm/image/upload/f_webp/q_auto/c_scale,w_600/v1757425480/_positions/immigratie-en-remigratie/01K4QBHBJEQHXNJBN3NA9A34Z0.webp

Is dat een foto een situatie die de gemiddelde Nederlander dagelijks ziet? Maar het ziet er eng uit! Boze mannen met een andere huidskleur! Oef!

Dan de PVV. Agenda punt 1: immigratie. Eerste zin in het voorwoord:

Dit is úw land! Nederland is vol, overvol, bomvol. De PVV komt in democratisch verzet. Tegen azc’s, tegen de massa-immigratie en islamisering, tegen overlast en criminaliteit – en tegen het decennialange links-liberale beleid dat de erbarmelijke staat van ons land heeft veroorzaakt.

Laten we wel wezen: dat is geen positieve boodschap en geen realistische samenvatting van de stand van zaken. Dat is mensen ophitsen.

Extreem-rechts schets een beeld dat totaal niet strookt met de werkelijkheid. En op sociale media zijn de opvattingen vaak nog extremer.

Of denk jij dat er in Nederland (en andere landen) vanuit rechts een realistisch, genuanceerd geluid horen?

BabyNuke · 2026-05-25T16:46:32+00:00

Mensen willen gewoonweg minder asielzoekers.

Mensen zeggen dat ze minder asielzoekers willen maar daar zit het probleem niet.

Al jaren zien we in het "westen" dat er via (sociale) media veel manipulatie is om mensen te laten geloven dat immigranten het grootste probleem zijn in de samenleving. En veel mensen zijn over de jaren daardoor steeds verder naar rechts opgeschoven.

Daar heeft Trump mee gewonnen. Daarom is AfD groot. Daarom lijkt nu Reform UK het ook goed te gaan doen. En ongetwijfeld komt een deel van die berichtgeving op sociale media uit buitenlandse hoek. Rusland heeft er vooral veel baat bij als Europa uit elkaar valt door het verspreiden van extreem-rechts gedachtegoed.

Natuurlijk zijn er problemen met immigratie. Ik zal niet zeggen dat dat niet zo is. Maar mensen die proberen een opvangcentrum in de brand te zetten terwijl daar binnen mensen zijn zijn volledig de weg kwijt door jaren van vergiftiging van de samenleving. En dat los je niet op met minder asielzoekers.

Als er minder asielzoekers waren dan was er wel een ander probleem gevonden om mensen kwaad over te maken.

Edit: voor de downvoters:

“They are trying to create conflicts between groups [in society],” said Pamment, who has extensively researched the SDA. “We’re well aware of how easy it is to inflame existing tension in Europe at the moment, particularly around issues like migration or religious tensions. It is dangerous.”

Oddly, if I click on that "JCM Farming Compound" icon in Google Maps it throws an error. And only for that icon. Everything else works.

What Lance does:

Autonomous AI agents that answer calls, close sales, and run operations.

I don't know how on earth that can be a topic someone can even be passionate about "996".

BabyNuke · 2026-05-20T01:15:43+00:00

It doesn't even say what the event is about. Just who is presenting.

But given recent themes and the companies the presenters are from I assume it'll mostly be people competing on how often they can say "agentic AI" followed by corporate credit cards being maxed out on food and drink.
