Bad news for Trump’s Golden Dome: He can’t build it without Canada

you would need something silly like 50x more interceptors than ICBMs and SLBMs and these are more expensive and technically harder than either

The NMD program is limited in scope and designed to counter a relatively small ICBM attack from a less sophisticated adversary.

also ground-based interceptor is more expensive than ICBM, and you need one for each warhead and maybe also for decoys, and probably more than one to be reasonably sure. since everyone operates under MAD it doesn’t matter if you destroy most probable adversary’s nukes on the ground or in the air, so that’s one of reasons why ICBMs are a thing, and then SLBMs as a second line. cue arms race. ABM are considered destabilizing and are limited by treaties

there’s no practical defence against nukes

France also has warning shots, js

rocket lab is 4x too big (that’s quarterly revenue, not annual)

now that i’m thinking: would be 4000 VMs enough for spacex? maybe it is some smaller organization. i also take it is state-owned or similar, which narrows it down to a handful of countries that launch satellites

and probably not government agency, because these would have people competent enough to do a git pull

wait, i missed that, but then idk why it got called “semi-governmental”

consider the following: they already don’t get money from them and also showing to wide audience that musk (and his people at spacex) idk who now is a inept penny-pinching scumbag can be a nice hobby

Maybe their idea is that publicly embarrassing oligarch boss of that company would be more effective in getting them to either use source code or buying a license

how your email finds me:

but that would require effort

you know, there are people living outside of usa

for more context, the boring liberal mayor got just north of 30%; the fuckass nobody pulled from depths of conservative party apparatus couple of months ago got just south of 30%; there’s 21% split between two far right fuckers, one conspiracy friendly, catholic extremist (6%) and one that pretends to not be (15%); 10% split between three socdems; 5% for former “got talent” host targeting the mythical swing voter; and 2% split between some random weirdos, 1.2% of which goes to a streamer

France accounts for some half of signatures, and also that’s where this campaign is coordinated from

Croatia had some 70% just in final day, but Denmark stayed at some 80ish the entire time. I’ve only heard about this petition from lemmy, maybe a couple of posts there and here made it work in some cases but not in others

there are elections next sunday and it’s likely that next president will be a lib
