Ooh do you have a link to something good you could share?
I definitely understand that this developing equilibria came out of a manpower shortage/necessity specific to this context. But I'd want to see more arguments as to why this development wouldn't spread once it occurred.
Basically no reason to use a human form except that I think they are piggybacking off motion capture stuff that already existed. A long/wide exposed midsection and an unstable bipedal base is not ideal for combat. I suspect we'll see more treads and spider-bots.
Single season of prestige TV based on the Gamecube horror cult classic “Eternal Darkness” starring Samara Weaving.
I am not certain about anything either. I just see a shift that i suspect will lead to major changes about how war is experienced/thought of, new sources of asymmetry in power, etc. I suspect this will be destabilizing in a variety of ways even if I can't articulate what that will look like.
Yeah I'd be in over my skis to offer much here beyond...maybe!

"swarms of *cheap to quickly manufacture at scale* autonomous Hunter-Killer drones," I guess is the current developing problem.
Good point. We aren't at the point where the "boots on the ground' are redundant yet (maybe replaced by autonomous land vehicles/bots one day?). But that "yet" feels like it is starting to buckle.
Not that I have any special insight into this. Just a sort of sociologist version of "spidey sense" in the back of my head.
Yes but there is a shift it what it means to go to war that I suspect will change things.

The future of warfare and the death of the citizen soldier. Hmm...I dunno but all this seems like it may have larger social and political ramifications.
Some people view others making different choices than they did as an attack on their choices.
While I love this for Russia, the war becoming nothing but swarms of autonomous Hunter-Killer drones fighting each other and blowing up people and infrastructure behind the lines feels terrifying.
I guess it is possible that someone under him has some sort of plan or strategy that he keeps stepping on. The blockade suggests something like that. But I am not sure.
I do believe Iran is now sending a delegation but they won't leave until sometime today so nothing will actually happen until tomorrow.
when do you think was the last time he actually voted for a democratic presidential Candidate? Bill Clinton?
Trump is lucky he inherited such a resilient economy. I think... ::puts hand to ear piece:: Ok I have been informed that this would reopen a discourse and unleash ten thousand shrieking demons.
To be fair in the same interview and about one sentence later he said, "but I expect to start bombing again on Wednesday. The military is raring to go." So this may be CNBC deciding to focus on the first part for its own reasons.

Big Bertha awaits
At least we have schadenfreude

for your living arrangement or your physical and mental health. There is a lot more to your choice of career than "shape the frontiers of theory"
If you have an older advisor it is possible they will scoff at the idea that you would leave the academy. They may imply it is a waste of your talent. But younger professors generally seem to understand the value of having practitioners of their field in the outside world. And it may be the best...

But "they shouldn't be allowed to do this for their own good" is just not anything like any kind of liberalism I recognize. Which is fine I guess. It just isn't liberalism. Some sort of communitarianism maybe. But weird to call *me* fundamentally right wing with that stance.
Yeah see that is the difference. There are no absolute rights and there must always be a balance. And we need to do our best to mitigate or eliminate harms to others from individual actions. Lot's of room for liberal disagreement there.
Better founding myths? Neither they have (Aeneas or Romulus/Remus) is particularly inspiring.
Unfortunately I think I am now too big to bail
