This is a pro read about the PLA in my honest opinion (unsurprisingly, Blasko is top at the field). Highly recommended.

The Chinese Military Speaks to Itself, Revealing Doubts Dennis J. Blasko - February 18, 2019 - WotR Editor’s Note: This article is based on longer testimony presented to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission on February 7, 2019. A large body of evidence in China’s official...

It has nothing to do with technology, it is pretty simply to devise a way to recycle them (and it has been done, many times). The problem is the economics of it. 1. Most manufacturers are trying to make lithium ion batteries as cheap as possible. This means removing or reducing the amounts of...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm glad I picked up this subject. It is fascinating. Decided to start from the beggining - more or less - and I'm currently reading about the Language Movement. It is utterly baffling to me why Jinnah decided to exclude Bangla/Bengali from being an official...

Those are essentially Hall-effect ion thrusters (HET). Have been flying around in space for close to 50 years now. Although the thrust they produce is very small, they are extremely well suited to duties like satellite station-keeping. In the last decade or so, they have also started to being...

Not looking for arguments really, I just want some direction for researching this further myself. As a history buff.

A question. I am looking for links, PDFs or other material regarding the Bangladesh War of Independence. I'm interested in both the conflict and the general history that culminated to it. The wikipedia page citations provide a starter for the subject at hand, I would love to read some more...

This is always a trip.

A "huge" gas field appears to have been found in Cyprus By Nefeli Tzanetakou / 14-02-2019 / ibna Ready to make announcements for the discovery of a huge gas field in the plot 10 of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Republic of Cyprus appears to be the American company ExxonMobil, according...

This is a tricky one. An active officer that chooses to criticize CONOPS like that is aware that his career will be heavily impacted. To go ahead with it regardless, is historically a sign of something objectively bad happening. Judging from this, as well as what he says it seems that Colonel...

I didn't say it was "special". I said that the reason it is how it is was because of a runaway greenhouse effect. Mars has an atmospheric mass of 25 teratonnes, compared to Earth's 5,148 teratonnes and Venus' 478,764 teratonnes. Yes, that was the point. Do you understand now the importance of...

All new systems suffer from infancy problems. This is pretty much expected.

About 0 to 3 °C, depending on the location. Even less in places where sunlight is scarcer, like the Poles. The answer to the question is that Venus generates the strongest greenhouse effect in the Solar System. It actually suffered a runaway greenhouse effect early in its life. Current...

Very well. In fact, it is correct to say that Venus receives a lot of more sunlight than the Earth does in general, since Venus is closer to the Sun. You are much closer now. So, if the variable here is sunlight and your medium of propagation of temperature is pressure, why is Jupiter much...

Good. So, where is the difference between Venus being hot and the bottom of the oceans being cold if pressure is your main variable?

You are getting closer to the truth here. Now, ask yourself this. Why is the temperature in Earths' oceans and in places where the pressure is at or more than 100 times the pressure of the surface not hotter but a lot colder than the surface?

Why is Venus hot, if I may ask?

Not straightforward, but definitely inside our technical capabilities. Microwave or Laser based transmission is not really the hot potato here. The logistics of the whole thing is. ;)
