You can grab and grope as much as you want and the most you'll ever get is a hand slap. Unless someone higher than you needs a scapegoat to sacrifice to the masses.
Trump merely stated what we already know about the folks on the above list.
It pissed a lot of people off, but the truth usually does.
If the propaganda is to be believed, the next-gen LRASM will have some impressive capabilities. Here's some LockHeed War Porn for you to give you an idea of what they're wanting to do.
One of the reasons Anti Ship missiles suck is due to time of flight and no discrimination systems to filter out what will effectively become a potential target once the platform reaches its designated area and begins its search pattern.
Every target has what's known as an AOU or " Area of Uncertainty ". This is typically designated as a circle around the targets last known position. The size of the AOU is based on:
Length of time since target update Platform that generated update Target Speed / heading / etc
The more time that passes, the larger the potential area said target can be in and the larger the circle grows.
Now assume you get really good positioning data on your target. Initial AOU size will vary based on what platform provided the data, but assume it's a solid hit.
Ignoring the fact we'll never shoot just one missile and that it would take forever to coordinate a dozen shots across multiple ships, let's say we just send one off from a few hundred miles out.
So not including super and hypersonic systems, most cruise missiles are subsonic so figure maybe half an hour flight time to reach the target area.
That AOU is going to grow considerably in half an hour and if other ships are in the area, those AOU's can start to overlap. Meaning you can have more than just your target in the search area when the radar goes active and begins looking for something to kill.
Bad news if you happen to be floating in the general area and are big enough to generate a radar return.
Now picture this scenario in a cramped space like the Persian Gulf where hundreds of ships and their gigantic overlapping AOU's make targeting anything a downright pita.
The newer platforms may be more intelligent ( LRASM is supposed to be ) but Gulf War era tech certainly was not. No mid flight updates. Once flying, the weapon was on its own.

Impossible to compete with China in the manufacturing sector because they can do it cheaper. The most obvious reasons are their labor force is paid far, FAR less than ours. Manipulating your currency to ensure you can undercut the world in manufacturing is another. Other factors like those silly environmental laws and making sure the products we're selling aren't tainted with lead, zinc and other crazy things isn't something they take very seriously.
That will eventually come back to bite them in the ass because if your own population doesn't have the funds to buy your product, then you're forced to sell them overseas. Which is pretty much the case here. Once someone in a major market gets tired of your bullshit and places tariffs on all imported goods from your country, which side is going to feel the greater sting ?
The buyers who want all their electronics based gear as cheaply as possible ? Or the Chinese Economy whose entire EXISTENCE relies on exporting cheap materials and goods for the aforementioned gear ?
Yes, everything will become more expensive for a time, but China will quickly realize their economy will absolutely implode if they refuse to play ball. If you want to play on the World stage, you are required to play by the World's rules. If you don't like it, too bad. Sell your shit to your own citizens and stfu.
It's like a game of chicken. Just have to see who flinches first.
The only way to bring healthcare under control so folks can afford it at all will be to regulate it.
When you allow Big Pharma and Hospitals the ability to charge whatever they want, does it surprise anyone when they put their profits first ?
Regulate it and you'll go a long way in removing the need to have health insurance at all.
The current state of healthcare in this country is barely treading water as it is. We're already seeing folks opt out of the plans due to high costs. Once enough go, the money to sustain the rest is gone and the whole thing implodes.
The ONLY way this works is the plans have to be cheap enough for folks to afford. Two ways to achieve that:
1) Get more folks to sign up* and / or 2) Regulate the healthcare industry
*Unlikely given the premiums and out of pocket costs are quickly rising.
Don't regulate it and this will forever be a problem.
Healthcare is a critical infrastructure. It should not be a system driven by profits.
Considering no countersuit can be brought against minors, exactly what stands in the way of adults using children as proxies for lawsuits on their behalf ?
If allowed, how would you even counter such a thing ? Can the government sue children if they don't learn at expected levels ? After all, under educated citizens later on in life are a drain on the government and civilization in general.
It's essentially the courtroom version of human shields:|
Trusting in a book to get it right isn't all that different than trusting a web site to get it right.
Considering the subject matter, getting it right is somewhat important. I used to own many of these books many years ago ( Paladin Press sold them ) and recall one instruction in particular that got it quite wrong which is why I got rid of them all. Couldn't trust them.
Whereby the book indicated that two chemicals that were safe enough on their own, became a crazy explosive once mixed. ( One of the chemicals was Red Phosphorus. You Chem Engineer types can probably guess the other one. )
What it failed to mention was the fact that both chemicals needed to be wet before mixing. Trying to combine them dry would probably be your last act on Earth.
Instant detonation and depending on amounts being mixed, probably a big red mist where the mixer used to be standing.
Whoopsie. . . minor oversight that:/
So what's the moral of the story ?
Just because it's written down in one form or another doesn't make it accurate.:)
Will be lots of drama for a while. Happens with every election.
While Trump has some outlandish ideas, he'll need Congress on board if he's to put any of them in play. Congress is made up of professional politicians who know this game better than Trump does. As such, it's unlikely they're going to go along with anything that will put their own jobs in jeopardy. They are far too self-serving for that. This should keep the crazier ideas in check pretty well.
They are fully aware of what happens when you piss off the electorate too much. ( Typically results in losing all your seats to the other party. )
We may see some minor changes, but it's unlikely to be anything Earth-Shattering.
It's all about the accuracy of information actually. According to the same sources, Hillary was absolutely guaranteed to get a landslide victory over Trump. She lead in all the polls the entire time.
That said !
If the same people who absolutely KNEW Hillary was going to win are the same people who conducted the polls, do the election results cause you to question any of the information they fed to you along the way ?
" America may become a bit of a laughing stock for a time "
Bad news. We've been the laughing stock for quite some time already by electing the status-quo time and time again. You know the saying: " Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results "
If undocumented, your tax rate should be TWICE that of a legal immigrant. Should also penalize corporations who hire them to dissuade them from that practice. Stay and work all you like, but you'll be paying more into the system in the process.
It's hilarious how folks freak out about how evil we are for even THINKING about deporting illegal immigrants. Come live in one of the border States and you'll understand just how much of an issue this problem really is.
What exactly do you think would happen if I tried to live in your country illegally ? Multiply that by MILLIONS and try to visualize what sorts of problems it might cause.
I'm all for immigration, just do it the legal way.
Your sisters premiums are likely to continue going up btw. At some point she won't be able to afford them either and will be in the same boat.
The problem is the fact that we allow drug companies to gouge the shit out of the folks who need the medicines to begin with. Once the medical and pharmaceutical industries becomes regulated, all these problems about needing insurance to afford health care will cease to exist.
There is absolutely ZERO reason a cancer treatment should cost over $100,000 a year. None. Nada. Zip. One of my family members watched their entire retirement savings vanish because of this bullshit. ( and they STILL died of Cancer )
Look past the short term solutions and work towards the long term goal. Healthcare is one of those things that really should be regulated.
"I hope folks are ready for sheer hell to break loose because it will..Folks like me can look forward to dying as our Medicare and Social Security are ripped away from us. America has collectively gone Insane"
Because Hillary certainly would have looked out for the little guys like us right ?:|
Folks are so sure about how things are going to play out until they don't. ( See Election Results )
I've said it before but the doom and gloom was pretty rampant when Tom Wheeler was selected to run the FCC and, despite all the cries of " The Sky is Falling ! ", the guy actually turned out to be the best thing we could have ever hoped for in that position.
If you don't like how things go, in four years vote for someone else.
If you take away nothing else from all of this, you should at least realize:
Consider who conducted those polls. Based on how they were predicting a Hillary landslide victory and it turned out to be anything but, you have to realize just how badly they were lying to everyone in the process trying to manipulate the entire thing.
I believe Bernie would have fared far better as well against Trump, but that isn't how it played out.
Basically what's happened is those who screwed Bernie out of the Primaries just lost the entire game on that gamble. They would have been better off not meddling to promote their pet candidate.
The Dems didn't have it long either but it was just long enough to get Obama Care passed. ( With premiums now skyrocketing I would call it a failure as would many folks who have to use it )
I figure it will take even less time to dismantle it.
Having seen this sort of thing over and over again... no, there's not going to be a reckoning. Because, like Trump did all throughout the primaries and general election, you can always blame someone else when you're wrong, and a sizable number of idiots will say you were right and it was someone else's fault.
So when Trump's policies fail, it will be the work of those shameful Democrats somehow.
Just like it has been for the past eight years. Those damned Republicans always messing things up. Even though the Dems controlled EVERYTHING initially, it's still somehow all the Republicans fault. Oh and Bush. Can't forget Bush. It's still all his fault nearly a decade later:|
Nothing will change. We're just swapping D for R and the world will spin madly on.
It's a browser. It's sole function is to act as a gateway to information contained out on the web.
Period.
I do not need someone else ( or their magic algorithm ) to determine if what I'm looking at is:
1) The whole truth 2) A partial truth 3) Not even close to the truth 4) A National Enquirer worthy article 5) Approved for viewing in my country due to the subject matter
For what passes as the News these days ( and the folks who control them ) know this:
I would prefer my information to come to me unfiltered, uncensored, unbiased and sans any sort of tracking to determine what I am reading or watching at any given time. I will make up my own mind if I find it factual or otherwise.
It's bad enough I have to read a dozen different news sites ( across several countries ) to get multiple viewpoints on the same story just to even out the bias since any single source tends to spin it one way or another depending on the wishes of the parent corporation who happens to own the news outlet in question.
Just . . . no.
Maybe, if there were even the slightest bit of journalistic integrity left, we would instead focus on getting the damn facts straight BEFORE releasing the story instead of everyone scrambling to be the news equivalent of your typical forum " First Post ".
As for relying upon opinionated blogs, Facebook, and the plethora of other news-wanna-be sites out there, trust what you read and see at your own risk. Just remember their sole function in life is to get you on their site. Eventually, it will self correct once enough folks figure out the sites are peddling nothing but bullshit.
You know. . . many folks HAVE to run a Windows OS due to the software they utilize not running on anything else. It's a chicken and egg thing. Developers aren't going to waste time building their application for a platform that maybe 2% use. Users want, but can't get, a Linux option for the very same reasons.
Yes, yes, there are Linux substitutes out there for some things, but not usually for professional software.
Last I checked, Zbrush doesn't run on Linux. Nor do the CAD / CAM programs I use or some of the rendering systems.
Even if there were, the software licenses are typically OS specific which means you would need to buy the damn license for it all over again. Some of those licenses can run several thousand dollars or more. It's easier to go with MS then isolate it from the internet as a workstation.
So before you bash on folks for using MS operating systems, realize some use their computers a bit differently than others.
Not that we're shilling for MS, it's just that we don't have a damn choice.
While my current systems are Win 7 with all auto updates disabled or some flavor of Linux, my next purchase will likely be a Win 10 based unit ( Wacom Mobile Pro ) since finding anything new with Win 7 on it is unlikely.
Since disabling the spyware is pointless if MS just re-enables it with updates you can't disable, is it possible to just blackhole known MS address space at the router or would that ACL be epic in size ?
Wireshark is easy enough to watch, but didn't know if that work has been done already or not.
Technically, I can just tell the router to disallow the unit from getting off the local lan completely ( I do this with several devices already ), but some software will need authentication from time to time ( I'm looking at you Adobe ) so will probably just allow access to specific subnets only and block the rest.
Other than Adobe stuff checking in, net access won't really be needed. I'll just transfer project stuff to a share drive and pick up with another system if I need to get it out on the net.
