Whatever the rules are, I am guessing they are relaxed around civil operations. Pararescuemen (USAF PJs) were deployed for search& rescue during hurricane relief operations. More if you want to dig into it: https://www.defens

I can think of two unofficial reasons: 1. Keep their skills up. 2. Avoid waste of available resources.

No. The Iraq War did not pose a risk to the US.

You and I both know the goal of that was to get Hirohito to surrender and that Japan lost most of it strike capability. If strike capability is present, it's a priority.

You aren't hitting cities with nukes, you are hitting launch sites, command centers, AFBs, naval facilities, carrier battle groups, etc. Sure, in all out war, you will hit a few major cities, but only a small percentage of the nukes wi

Then the article is likely talking about anti-ship missiles (AShMs). Every "real" country can overwhelm a naval battle group of any other "real" country with guided missiles. A lot of these missiles can be fired from the

It holds and China only has 300 nukes, which isn't even close to the US and Russian numbers, which both have more experience handling them. Bait-y headline.

Can you elaborate on this please, or link me? I am genuinely interested - do they build their own servers or something? I know they lay down their own network cables.

I get the point, but you could also argue that big companies want people who are strong on fundamentals and consider them something you shouldn't forget. As in, the army won't hire a 40 year old for SOF if they can't run just

It's been done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JATO The primary requirement for a carrier jet is two engines, decent thrust, and enough body rigidity to take landings. The F-22 has all that. The MIG-29 had less, an

I don't mean to get into the weeds here, but what part of EODAS can't be added by literally putting a thermal camera (from the F-35 program) in several places on the F-22 and running wiring to it? I completely understand that it i

Oh, the other argument for the JSF is that it could be exported to allies, whereas the F-22 is US-only.

Stealth Blackhawks (pretty much confirmed by the Bin Laden raid) are definitely an example of the cancelled Comanche program tech going into black projects.

>but nothing like the capability the JSF brings in computing technology. What computing technology can't be put into the F-22? Iirc it has a much bigger radar housing, and EO DAS (fancy term for 360 IR / situational awareness)

Hue hue, but it WAS the theory. The F-35 was planned as: A. The "light" F/A part of the heavy/light fighter model. B. Meant to save costs by having one aircraft with shared parts (across the three models) fill virtually

"The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is one of the world’s premier fighter jets, thanks to its unique combination of stealth, speed, agility, and situational awareness." A huge understatement. It's the only true 5th gen that&#x27

"unless I murder myself with study and ignore my family" I think this is completely true as well. To move past senior developer, you fall into one of these camps: 1. Very bright. 2. Spent a LOT of time studying or messing around w

It's a legitimate concern. I spent 4 months of evenings and weekends(could have been one or two to be honest) to prep for the Google Cloud Architect exam. I have used NONE of this knowledge (past what I already knew - load balancing an

Some other questions, and a purely subjective ones at that: 1. Do you feel software or law is harder / more stressful? 2. Do you feel that devs or lawyers are "smarter" on average? Specifically at same pay scales - so partner

Interesting, thanks. I always wondered if there is carry over to law if you know say, finance or SE well.

Would you say a lawyer can make more / be more employable than the average lawyer if they can take software-related cases?

That's really depressing. Genuinely. If a candidate made a platform of protecting worker IP (created on their own time), I would vote for that candidate based on that alone.

The only thing that scares me is the IP factor if I work on stuff after work. From what I am hearing, if I am not in Cali, I am at risk even if I don't use company time/equipment? Amazon pretty much doubles salaries in areas outsi

Right, let's say you are 35, you already changed careers once. If you have a family and you aren't rich, you are stuck, that's it, your life is over. And if you are not? Let's say you got to med school, and let's sa

Good stuff. Edit: But I still don't get it. Would need to spend some time with it. Can't help but feel like the goal back then really was to educate, whereas now it's to fill pages and sell new editions. Dramatic, but CS50 is
