There is stealth on Earth. Submarine warfare being the obvious one - and the one which space stealth tended to be based on in fiction (though the rise of stealth planes in the media might have changed that, I really haven't kept up with sci-fi).
But yes I was trying to refer to vaguely realistic scenarios - which is a joke in itself considering the topic. On earth stealth aircraft work because they reduce the range at which radar can detect them and that is enough to let them path through gaps in what should be overlapping radar coverage (before the range was reduced). And while you could try and build an order or two of magnitude more radar stations it isn't practical.
Whereas in space there's no atmosphere to hide your heat, and you can't help but produce heat (unless you have no people and no electronics). Which means you can be easily detected by cheap passive detection stations which in the practical case will be scattered about the solar system. Making stealth not a viable option. Assuming there's no magitech (I can imagine if there's a cloaking tech of some sort you might be able to transfer your heat into heat sinks which you then eject with their own cloaking tech - but then why are you not just shooting cloaked projectiles from far away rather than trying to stealth your ship?)
That the enemy does have multiple observation points is the point. Yes if the enemy isn't looking you have stealth, but that isn't what is being referred to - hiding from an enemy trying to see incoming threats is the goal. I wasn't painting a scenario I was pointing our that a conical mirror doesn't work because the other side isn't stupid enough to not have put sensors scattered through out the solar system - if your conical mirror hides from sensors at opposite sides of an orbit in the Kuiper belt then you are far enough away that you don't matter.
Hardly. It's a pretty normal counting of future earning. It makes some assumptions such as:
1. He wasn't bad enough at his job that with him facebook wouldn't be where it is today. 2. The guy who replaced him wasn't so good at his job that facebook wouldn't be where it is today without him. 3. That he wouldn't have left for other reasons before facebook got sold for way more than it is worth.
Missiles replace fighters entirely in any realistic setting. Or at the very least drones is the engines are significantly more expensive than the weapons. Why have a human who has to be kept alive when a machine can survive significantly higher acceleration and you don't need all that life support mass.
Makes for boring fiction though.

There is no stealth. You need to dump your heat somewhere, else you cook. Sure you can arrange to dump it facing away from the other guy, but that doesn't work once he has a few observation points. As soon as you do anything other than drift your engines are seen instantly. Decoys don't work since they need to have the same mass as the actual ships/missiles/etc you are trying to hide since otherwise the other guy can tell them apart by how their acceleration is different under the same engine exhaust profiles.
Once you are at a tech level of such long range that you don't have multiple angles on the other guy you have also mapped out every object and hence you see everything new. As soon as something is hotter than it should be - because it's running life support or a computer or it makes a course change that isn't just falling under gravity you know. By the time something is anywhere close to being a threat you have multiple angles on it so the heat is visible.
Passive detection is all you need.
Actual combat ends up being whomever runs out of heat capacity loses. As soon as you need to extend the radiators or cook you have to surrender - or else have said radiators blown off and thus cook.
It was clear he violated his probation from the beginning.
The beginning of what? What were the terms of his probation? If it's so "clear" why are the terms of his violation sealed from public view?'
Since we don't know everything about the case usually we take the magistrate at his word when he says there was a "lengthy pattern of deception" and conclude that it has been going on for a long time.
He was jailed EXACTLY because of the content of the movie. He is being punished to try and appease the protestors.
Yes, that's much more likely than previously no one noticing his parole violations because they weren't being put in the spotlight so that even the world's most incompetent parole officer has to notice them.
And of course finding people who are both smart enough to do well in it and dumb enough to pick such a terrible field reduces your potential students even further.
Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel and executive vice president, presented a plan to add 20,000 H-1B visas and an equal number of STEM visa green cards to help companies get qualified workers.
Only if he has an agreement to pay them money. It's a bitcoin thing, that people would hand over their coins with no agreement for them to be returned doesn't seem that unlikely.
I can ask you for $50 billion, that doesn't make you insolvent. I could ask a bank to return the $5000 I put in a term deposit, if the term hasn't expired they can not pay me back without being insolvent.
As I said it all depends on the contracts in place.
Not that I've looked closely or anything. But I thought it was a case of they are allowed to spy on X, they are not allowed to spy on Y. Someone put him in category X when he should be in category Y. If that was actually a mistake then it could be an "oops".
I'm not saying that makes it OK. At the very least somebody high up should be out of a job already. And it should be being investigated, but there's that slight possibility someone actually did make an honest mistake (and losing your job would be a justifiable punishment for such a critical mistake). You'd have to offer me really good odds for me to bet on that though...
If they didn't contract to refund in such cases then they aren't insolvent since there is no obligation to repay. If they did then if the terms for repaying are long enough in the contract they probably aren't insolvent either (you are allowed to carry debt without that automatically making you insolvent). If they do have such a contract but the penalties for breaking it are small enough or allowed to be paid over a long enough term then the same thing applies as above - you are allowed to have debt.
So what information leads you to conclude they are insolvent?
Obviously, but apparently Nyder didn't know what the word history meant, and so it was explained to him.
Making redundant statements to more clearly repeat a claim that has been misunderstood due to an apparent lack of knowledge of a particular word's meaning isn't that unusual.
If you mistakenly pick up the wrong bag you will usually be able to explain the error and not get arrested and charged with theft. Heck you can shoot someone and if the police believe your story that the guy was attacking you won't get arrested or charged with that either (at least until it becomes a major national news story).
And of course you only get hit with whatever the law states is the penalty. Often enough such restrictions on government actions don't bother having penalties.

Then it would also zap any fighters you sent towards making it irrelevant to missiles replacing fighters.
Yes sure. There is stealth at ranges at which your weapon takes years to reach the target. At distances that actually matter there isn't any.
There is no FTL. Yes if you magitech you can stealth to, but I thought the topic was realism.
Yes instantly meaning the instant the light reaches the sensor, which I thought was obvious.

Yes.
Now sure there are people for whom one of those fields is a "fit" - someone who will enjoy the work and so see it as a great job.
However, there are other fields that offer better pay or better prestige that are open to "smart" people.
Because they make more money doing it the way they do now???

Maybe read the article?
Please cut of a finger and tell us when your "flesh heals" and it grows back fully working.
Because I suspect their clients are foolish, and that they actually have no contract requiring that their money be returned.
I don't know this for a fact of course, I don't have any bitcoins with them (well at all in fact) to care enough to have checked.
Because he is (well was by now) their swimming coach as it states in the summary.
Only if he has an agreement to pay them money. It's a bitcoin thing, that people would hand over their coins with no agreement for them to be returned doesn't seem that unlikely.

It was neither of those. Hopefully that whooshing isn't a US drone.
Please do not be alarmed by that whooshing noise above your head.

He didn't "justify shit done to him now", in fact he explicitly stating "even criminals deserve justice" in the same sentence.
No, we also take mistakes into account.
