War is coming! To be reminded when Red State Mars is about to drop, sign up here. Will there be coffee mugs, a poster of the cover, & poster of the (amazing!!!) map of the Nine Cities of Mars? Maybe! Perhaps even special offers to folks who sign up now ark.press/pages/red-stat…

If anyone wants to give me $22k I will build you a fully-animated part-generative TV pilot and prove all the things we think are blockers (consistency, fidelity, text, emotion, cohesion) are already solved and just waiting for someone to use the tools right. Be a first mover.

@octal do we care what normal Chinese people think? does it make us look bad, or does it make their regime - which spies on them too - look bad ?

@MorlockP The photo of items at aircraft plays badly within China among normal people and makes us look crazy/paranoid which is probably not ideal.

They should have collected all China gifts and other items using the fig leaf of a non-security reason, individually accounted for them, and shipped them back after imaging/quarantine, for a variety of reasons.

Brad Smith@CommishSmith·
The “radical” part of Citizens United is that 4 dissenting justices thought the government should be able to censor documentary movies.
Brad Smith@CommishSmith

In Citizens United, the Govt argued that it could censor a documentary about a major presidential candidate in an election year, on the theory that—like every other movie you have ever seen on TV, cable, streaming, or in a theater—a corporation was involved in its production or distribution. That cannot be correct, and is why Citizens United is plainly correct. @charlescwcooke @whignewtons

@octal There was a lot of ass-kissing. A mix of 95% honey and 5% vinegar - especially on a topic that's VERY important to us (spying) makes some sense to me. Good cop / bad cop.

@MorlockP If so then why have a summit? Antagonizing China over non-issues seems dumb. We have like 50%+ non-rival areas to cooperate, 5-10% directly opposed strategic interests, and the rest are all open.

“It all has to go in a museum exhibit” might also have been the outcome, and also would have been acceptable to everyone, and less offensive than a trash bin at aircraft stairs.

@ToughSf yep! It's a bunch of really hard problems. I'm just ALSO saying that sometimes when programs "disappear" despite being promising, there's a reason other than "we gave up"

> next step was supposed to be a full-scale flying testbed with turbojet, ramjet and scramjet engines re "supposed to be" (and the implication "but then it went wrong"), realize that often deep R&D projects that succeed get rolled into deep black projects you never hear about
ToughSF@ToughSf

In 2004, NASA was flying the X-43A and broke the speed record for a jet aircraft by pushing its hydrogen-fuelled scramjet to Mach 9.6: youtu.be/25hqiWr8R-sThe next step was supposed to be a full-scale flying testbed with turbojet, ramjet and scramjet engines aboard.
