It reminds me of the Michael Brook's reverse Sam Harris impression @30min in this video:

When this war ends, or settles into a frozen conflict, there is going to be a massive number of Ukranian mercenaries flooding conflict zones around the world.

The entire length of the fiber would have to be dragged along with the drone if you did it that way. With the spool on the drone, the unspooled fiber falls to the ground and is stationary.

Pic of the drum that holds the spool. It literally just unspools km after km of hair thin optical fiber as it flies around. The added weight does limit range.

The USA just can't help but look a gift horse in the mouth. International grad students are viewed with such suspicion... and yet, are one of the fundamental innovators powering the engine of the US economy. Lieber's grad students are a perfect example: a lot of people think he was training an ominous horde of Asians who are presumably doing nefarious things such as advancing medical science at USA universities.

I'm feeling more and more vindicated in my tendency to hoard old tech.

If I didn't want to get assassinated in public, I would simply not spend my entire professional career stoking an atmosphere of political violence and making it widely known that I'm a vicious and evil asshole who wants the worst for everyone.

Sun was removed from his position in 2022 after being investigated for his ties to China, a source told the Post on condition of anonymity.

Details of the investigations remain unclear, but MD Anderson was among the first institutions to dismiss China-born researchers after warnings from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of their major funders, about potential theft of US scientific research.

I don't know what's more sick:

• treating medical science like it's stealth bomber blueprints
• treating medical science like it's something to be owned and leveraged

For years now I've wondered why health insurance companies haven't been the regular target of violence by clients who's lives they've destroyed. They're unique institutions because of how they regularly condemn people to death right to their faces for the most bullshit unjust kafkaesque reasons. I guess maybe a situation like that just sucks the life out of you too much to get motivated by revenge.

Vote for me, and we can bring order to the galaxy

(Even Darth Vader promised to end the war, lol)
