We don't spend nearly enough time as a society complaining about the adhesive being used to seal prepackaged soups. Why are we being forced to cut the film??? There's a tab indicating it can be pulled off, but it's a skeuomorph now!!!

extremely true in my experience
Commentary: A new study shows that national security professionals are often overconfident, frequently wrong in their judgments, prone to false positives, and resistant to self-correction.
Feeling confident? Think again — you’re probably wrong.
A study finds that overconfidence by many national security experts “was so extreme that it essentially canceled out the knowledge that these individuals possessed.”

The identity monitoring service people got because of the OPM hack is expiring, which makes sense, since it's been 10 years and China has probably forgotten about all the data it stole. Glad that threat is over!

I think we're good on web-based satellite orbit visualization tools everybody. We don't need any more. Thanks.

Even though I rarely use STK these days I still crack jokes about it being slow. I figured that was becoming an outdated reference, because surely they've improved it since then, but I just hopped in and MY GOD it's worse. Reminiscent of the last days of Internet Explorer - borderline unusable

Just spent some time digging through old Maxar/DigitalGlobe blogs to find a reference image and found this incredible capture of Mt Fuji. Incredible.
The satellite was only three degrees above the horizon when it captured this image.

Demonstrations are great as existence proofs for new capabilities. Existence proofs, however, are not proof of uniqueness. You need deeper context and knowledge to understand the novelty/utility of the demo. Barring that, you're left to believe the narrative the authors have carefully built.
Beware.

Pretty cool how the expensive machine i bought solely to track the distance i run will sometimes just not do that thing. Good technology we're building here
