*Michael Peck* *Security, * Not so stealth after all? *Regardless of intent or accident, the Israeli F-35 incident illuminates a problem with stealth aircraft. Flying machines that are designed to minimize detection by radar still need to share airspace with lots of other aircraft in crowded skies, which means that those other aircraft as well as air traffic control needs to know the stealth plane's location. There may be no harm in a stealth aircraft turning on its transponder over friendly airspace. Or then again, there may be good reason why a stealth plane on a mission abso... more »

The War On Sugar: Science Or Hype?

Centralized Energy Will Be Better For Emissions And Health In Poor Countries - Even If It's Coal

News Staff at Science 2.0 - Earth Sciences - 14 hours ago
In countries that have embraced centralized energy and migrated away from individual cooking with dung or wood, both public health and the emissions have improved. So why not pay for all developed countries to switch? The World Bank wanted to do that half a decade ago but it became political; countries like the U.S. agreed only to contribute if they used solar or wind, which are not viable even in America much less in a poor nation. It was another case of wealthy countries with plenty of energy passing their guilt along to Africa and Asia. read more

It's Not that Complicated

LL at Virtual Mirage - 14 hours ago
Every time parents are arrested in the USA (and everywhere else) for committing a crime, their now unattended minor children are handed over to a social services agency, and they are cared for and protected. Tens of thousands of times each year in the USA, this happens. It's one of the reasons that we hire social workers. The progs have conflated this to be 'unusual', when in fact, it's completely normal and done in the course of business for the criminal justice system.

Liberal or conservative?

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
A number of blogs recently published James Burnham's list (from his 1964 book "The Suicide of the West") of questions that determine whether one is a "liberal" or not (in 1960's terms, of course). It's a very interesting list, not least because today's understanding of a political "liberal" is rather different from that of half a century ago. Burnham wrote: A full-blown liberal will mark every one, or very nearly every one, of these thirty-nine sentences, Agree. A convinced conservative will mark many or most of them, a reactionary all or nearly all of them, Disagree. By giving t... more »

"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.

It’s Time for the Senate to Act on PCLOB Nominations

ckerry at Lawfare - 15 hours ago
The White House’s announcement of the intended nominations of Travis LeBlanc and Aditya Bamzai to be members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is a welcome development for this low-profile but increasingly significant board. It paves the way for the board, which has been operating without a chair since 2016 and without a quorum since early 2017, to be operational again—before its vacancies metastasize into a major problem for U.S. relations with the European Union. It is going on one year since Adam Klein, a fellow at the Center for New American Security (... more »
