> Here is what the Israelis would do: cut off food, power and water to Gaza, do their best to give everyone a safe way to walk out unarmed, house them in spartan but livable conditions, and send the Gazans to another country—preferably one in which they speak the language.

> .. [Israel] could collectively grant them a slice of equity in the new Gaza. The new Gaza—developed, of course, by Jared Kushner—is the LA of the Mediterranean, an entirely new charter city on humanity’s oldest ocean, sublime real estate with an absolutely perfect, Apple-quality government
I don't think the arm was related to anything with intelligence- they just needed some way to have a second radar slightly moved away from the main one on the Shuttle. The further away it is, the more accurate they could measure elevation, so they stuck it way out on a pole.
But I think you're right that it's possibly one of the most widely used GIS datasets. Some applications obviously need finer resolution than 30 meters, and lidar is more accurate for the small areas that it can cover, but it's still cool that they could cover most of the globe at 30 meter resolution
Neither place seems to have the recent Nevada earthquakes though.
There's a bunch of effort to make InSAR more available/accessible. Even though plenty of SAR data is available through ASF (https://search.asf.alaska.edu/#/), it takes a bunch more processing beyond the SAR images to get useful ground deformation.
ASF has also started to try providing some interferograms (single InSAR images) but without averaging a bunch over an area, or doing more advanced stuff, they often look like mostly noise on a given day.
It would still be a good takedown of the questionable parts of the NYT article, but no, I don't think it's "100% certainty" about the actual event, despite his YouTube title. It just has the benefit of having a strong prior than the UFO theory
For anyone that clicked through to his 1988 question on comp.lang.c ... what was causing what he was happening? I'm assuming something with an old version of gcc, but I can't reprocue it- I get the correct result using both cc and gcc.
It's encrypted, so it's not for civilian use, and the ability to look at two signals of different frequency at the same time means that they have been able to have much more robust GPS than civilians for awhile.
How has Python suffered from this? They broke things going from 2 to 3... and it was still the fastest growing language from 2017.
It clearly wasn't popular just because they removed features, but you can't say that removing things is fatal to adoption.
