actually stopping rockets is second to iron domes actual purpose, which is to make the threat of rocket attacks scarier to the israeli populace and foster terror to generate more support for fascist government action.

The thing I never got about this kinda system is like if you gotta shoot multiple interceptor rockets per missile you wanna intercept, like.... those all land somewhere. Sure they don't have a HE warhead the same way or whatever but at a certain point "a buncha rockets keep falling outta the sky" is a fire hazard in large enough areas it doesn't even seem worth it vs. just eating the damage from an occasional katyusha made outta sewer pipe

I guess that would make it dual purpose, to create the problem then solve it, like the CIA things we do?

If it's anything like other interceptor systems, they should detonate in the air after a set amount of time. In reality, of course,

yeah if only they had one they could figure out how to make sci fi weapons spring forth from piles of junk and trash and rubble and really get back into this war

it takes literally 5 seconds to use some comprehensive deductions and know that hamas and iran and whoever else has what these are and understands all of the underlying concepts that go into it lmao, but you don't want to think about WHY someone loses a war, maybe GOD isn't on their side, that's easy, surely all of the advanced machining and computer power created in the last 2000 years singularly honed into weapon form and given to them freely by the world's last super power isn't the deciding factor!

This isn't exactly cyberpunk dystopia and the other applications are interesting, but is the factory worker going to get any of that money? Oh, I see, no, because the factory owner still considers it "unskilled labor"? Then why should anyone give a poo poo about that example? bunch of people smart enough to build these prosthetics but dumb enough to think we should feel happy for corporations making more money, and possibly using the enhanced efficiency to fire workers, because it surely must trickle down

Implications aside, I do think it's cool that the brain sees that you suddenly have an extra thumb and is just ready to loving roll with it.

I think this fits in pretty well with prior research that shows our brains more or less treat tools that we hold in our hands as an extension of our body. I like the idea of having an extra thumb. Seems pretty useful, both inside and outside the bedroom.

Brains are incredibly malleable via input stimulus and repetition all through your life, you can lose a chunk or even a hemisphere and what's left will figure out how to do the poo poo you need to do to live, it's basically magical

Gee, I wonder what's telling you that it's the "logical consequence"? Could it be the very same brain that insists it isn't magic? Wake up, people. You're being lied to.

How big is this glass and how much time is there to fill it? The logistics change drastically between a shot glass (determined dude and an afternoon if you're wondering) and a pint glass.

Doubt the Palestinian balloon thing works, filtering out contacts by speed is a pretty basic measure to get rid of false ones and a balloon won't be as fast as a rocket.

The baloon pops and the falling mass of metal has sufficient velocity to trigger a valid alert.
