Also those costs for the livestock and wheat look like they correlate? Like it's not 1:1 in price:cost but it's definitely matching the peaks and valleys by some factor. .

Good news, everyone! Peace in quote:MOSCOW -- Russian authorities have published new regulations on the expedited mass burial of humans and animals who die as a result of military conflicts or noncombatant emergencies, stoking already heightened tensions that the country may be preparing to invade Ukraine. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-mass-burials-regulations/31619324.html

IPCRESS posted:LTT did a test of an ex-mining cards vs new-old stock/barely used review versions of the same cards. I think the concern is more that a video card that has been pegged for months or years is much more likely to fail than one that has been used as intended. Most computer components fail randomly after some amount of use, with natural variation around that failure point (and a long tail of devices that keep on chugging). A card used for mining is closer to that failure point, kind of like if you bought a hard drive that has constantly been written to for years. It might not be slower when you get it, but the odds of failure at any given time are higher because it is closer to the end of its effective life.

Hypersonics are weird to me because I feel like I don't hear nearly enough about them outside very niche circles when I'd expect a full breathless media blitz about these weapons of the future. e: maybe it's because I haven't taken the DC metro anywhere near the Pentagon since the plague times started.

shame on an IGA posted:is there really a meaningful threat difference between hypersonics and depressed trajectory SLBMs tho The stuff currently getting branded as 'hypersonics' tend to leverage aerodynamic controls a bit more than your typical lofted or depressed ballistic missile, which allows for things like late flight 'pull up' maneuvers or s-curves to add to the difficulty in hitting it with your $100M golden BB. However, at its core hypersonic is the same concept demonstrated with stuff like Dynasoar and the Space Shuttle back in the 70s and 80s just with the added advantages of modern supercomputer CFD modeling and control systems. It's no more a superweapon than LAZERZ were in the 2000s but the Pentagon needs a new thing to justify buying new toys.

Maybe I'm a dipshit, but I can't seem to give a gently caress that it's just a faster missile. To me it seems like some more Chicken Little poo poo to get people riled about something obvious and miss them drone striking Lithuania. These wonder weapon headlines happen as often as a Victoria's Secret sales.

Yeah, at most assuming a non-nuclear payload: You sink a US Carrier with it. Good for you? Now you are at war, hope you have enough of them. Still more of a propaganda thing.

Nobody’s gonna target a carrier because that’s a red line for nuclear retaliation but the forward deployed gator navy and destroyers are going to make temporary reefs until the Chinese dreg them back up. They can cause a lot of damage in a limited short confrontation that China may push for to facilitate taking over Taiwan and other islands currently in dispute. The thing is they are fairly cheap to make(compared to its target) and can be slapped on a corvette size ship for over the horizon targeting. It’s not a “super weapon” but it can be a very effective piece of the puzzle.

Seems like its ringing the bell to try to keep justifying why the DoD budget only went up after ending another war. My lovely google news feed is basically 1-2 throwaway articles per day talking about the terrors of Chinese hypersonic weapons and how the Navy is losing the fight and our carriers are dead etc etc.

I don't think it's a thing that happens isolated from other events. But if things start heating up, it's definitely a variable in the math on where the US chooses to park a carrier, or an LHD/whatever.

Hypersonic delivery vehicles and poo poo like Russia's ~Doomsday Torpedo~ are, first and foremost, an opening gambit in forcing the US/NATO to develop similar technologies and *counters* to them. And in Russia's case, it's cheaper to develop these "doomsday" weapons and troll the rest of the world with them than try to modernize their conventional forces like the Chinese are, because *they can't afford to*. The most concerning issue about hypersonic delivery vehicles is that they'd be well-suited to decapitation strikes (when the tech matures), but it's not like that isn't known and being planned for. The biggest stink surrounding the Chinese tests is that what they've developed is essentially a FOBS. Quasi-ballistic trajectories on ICBMs and MARVs have been a thing for a while. If the Chinese and Russians want to get exotic and give new "legs" to the old-fashioned nuclear triad, so be it. Their adversaries will either match them or just build more missiles.
