Biosignatures: The Oxygen Question
Paul Gilster, Centauri Dreams - 11 hours ago
Just how useful is oxygen as a biosignature? It’s a question we’ve examined before, always with the cautionary note that there are non-biological mechanisms for producing oxygen which could make any detected biosignature ambiguous. But let’s go deeper into this, thanks to a new paper on ‘oxygen false positives’ out of the University of California […]

Admissions versus Asians
Bryan Caplan, Econlib - 15 hours ago
Whenever I want a clear-cut example of latter-day racial discrimination, I point to elite universities’ treatment of Asians. As far as I’m concerned, the evidence is overwhelming.

Is the US military being deliberately undermined and subverted?
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 11 hours ago

In particular, it appears that any dissent from the current drive against "extremism" is being treated very negatively. Service personnel who question why the January 6th demonstrations in Washington D.C. are treated as "insurrection" or "domestic terrorism", while the same label is not used to describe rioters in Portland or Seattle last year, are being openly silenced and their concerns dismissed.

*Kris Osborn* *Drones, * The Navy’s UCLASS program achieved a huge milestone several years ago by landing autonomously on an aircraft carrier, so why'd it get scrapped? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The program collided into a wall of debate, with some developers arguing that the aircraft needed to remain stealthy like the X-47B to defeat rival air defenses, yet others felt it needed to be larger, bulkier and therefore less stealthy to carry large fuel tanks in order to conduct longer-dwell missions without needing to return or refuel.
