This is a great resource. Why is it getting downvoted?

So...SIGINT and CNO. Exactly as I stated.

And what do you think the end state of all that cybersecurity research is?

Their job is to collect signals intelligence and execute cyber warfare operations. Not whatever you think it is.

“The Wire” in its last season thought-provokingly explores this topic. What got me was the big lie was comprised of a mesh of micro-decisions, not a big monolithic deception.

This thread is clearly going nowhere on HN.

How is this relevant to Hacker News? Are we to surmise that any and all news articles are now welcome here?

Awesome. Will be reading these in short order. Can anyone recommend other good incident response resources (that are relevant in 2019)?

What are you talking about? US-launched GPS satellites are owned and operated by the USAF, which last I checked, is a national security outfit.

Huawei denies having any ties to the Chinese government beyond those of being a law-abiding taxpayer.

I find it interesting that these kinds of verbal games are continually played out in the public eye despite everyone involved knowing exactly what's going on. And that goes for all APT / nation-state actors.

And the facts, as stated in this article, are that the Starship design has changed, which you seem to conflate with marketing. So which is it.

Then it will read like the mythical ad. God. The pedantry around here is astounding.

It does not show in money, or people going to STEM field

Anecdotally, I know many a kid who has taken an interest in space and rocketry after watching a SpaceX launch.

What empirical data have you to show that there is no correlation between space awareness (whether by Musk or anyone else) and STEM enrollment?

Ah, the latest in a trend of anti-struggle glamour. These articles full of pithy aphorisms are no better than their counterparts on the other end of the spectrum.

This site makes me happy. A request: dark theme, please.

Your comment demonstrates absolute cluelessness with regards to the goals of the FH launch / second stage trajectory.

Centauri Dreams is one of my favorite sites to grab a coffee and settle in for a read / geek out on high-concept space articles.

Some people are doing things. There's an outfit at DIU (Defense Innovation Unit) called Rogue Squadron who's job it is to conduct counter-UAS research.

0. What you're experiencing is "The Big Secret" that no one seems to want to talk about and is completely normal.

1. Your coworkers have clear thoughts not because they're better than you but because they have built months or years of context, situational awareness, and pattern-matching around a particular project, process, or initiative. This precaching of resources allows for faster processing time which you perceive as increased mental clarity.

2. You're scared to ask questions because you think doing so will lead to getting "found out." In my experience, the exact opposite is true. Not only that but most people in meetings do not synthesize everything and yet stay silent. Leave the mental frame of "I don't understand and they'll judge me for it" and adopt one of "I want to make sure I understand this clearly so that we can best move forward as a team" - in fact even preface your questions with the latter. People will respect you for it.

3. People find proactive communication difficult because they assume the nature of the relationship is going to be somehow adversarial in nature, especially when reaching out to people/teams to ask them add more work to their plate. This is the wrong mental frame. When reaching out to people as part of your work, adopt a collaborative mindset of "we're in this together and to work together with Team X we need to merge our realities." All subsequent communication should then focus on both sides articulating the particulars of their individual realities, making a shared one, and establishing a roadmap to work together moving forward.

4. Everything that's happening to you is a form of irradiation that will result in hypergrowth of you as a person and an engineer - if you let it. There's a great book by Carol Dweck about growth mindsets vs fixed mindsets. A fixed mindset perceived your skills and abilities as immutable. A growth mindset recognizes that your skills and abilities are capable of optimization and accepts new input to make it so. Input that induces growth is necessarily painful - if you accept this you will realize that in time YOU will be the grizzled veteran engineer confidently able to articulate thoughts on a complex project and rally the necessary people to execute on it - because you've seen the underlying patterns a million times.

Work on the above over time and you will join a select club of people who no longer have to pretend to be high performers but actually are.

I'll ask what everyone is thinking but won't say. If the acceleration is in fact being caused by artificial thrusters, what kind of thruster configuration can produce prograde acceleration while maintaining the observed tumble? And why would someone engineer this configuration?

Why are the top two comments in this thread by people who didn't bother to look at the notebooks and falsely accusing the author of posting solutions?

Because good leaders eat last.

Yeah - like not delivering Falcon, or vertical landing, or first stage reuse, or Falcon Heavy. /s

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." - Ian Malcolm

Follow anyone from SpecterOps and the content they put out.

That's weird. I don't see similar responses whenever someone calls those who lean right of center "Trumpkins" or other witty epithets.

The economics of doing that with a sample size of N=1 for potential targets is...unsound.

This is why the USAF has mandatory underwater egress training in which aspiring helo crewmembers are dunked, inverted, and taught how to untether and escape from inside a simulated fuselage.

Literally everything Lockheed, Raytheon, ULA, and every other company with a building along the Dulles Corridor is government funded. Not a single one would have private funds as SpaceX did to develop capabilities not specifically requested in a government RFP. TLDR: You have no idea how the government works and why SpaceX is different - GTFO.

This is a joke right?
