My team has been digging into their reactions for CASI. This on Midnight Hammer, for instance: www.airuniversity.af.edu/CASI/Display...

Trump Declared a Space Race With China. The US Is Losing If you want to put people back on the moon, don’t gut the agency in charge of getting them there.

NASA just completely overhauled its lunar program, functionally admitting what I reported a while back: that China is in position to beat the United States back to the Moon, and declare an end to a century of American technical and scientific supremacy.

China's Draft Cybercrime Law The draft is already controversial, with some commentators concerned that it increases online surveillance, fortifies censorship, and extends long-arm jurisdiction to conduct overseas. While it is not...

There is so much going on in the Draft Cybercrime Law that I can't do it justice:
- fortifying real-name registration
- threatening VPNs
- China's first penalties for possession of CSAM
- cyberviolence protections
- New offenses for enabling cybercrime (including converting gains to crypto)

I had a null finding paper in grad school that I was advised to shelve because null findings are known to be nearly impossible to publish

Allow me to rush to say that economics columnist Adam Tooze knows nothing about Chinese military modernization. Being smart about one thing does not make you smart about everything.

This would indeed be explosive if true, but I would encourage deep skepticism lacking further confirmation. Someone like Zhang either suddenly going turncoat or being a longtime US asset without being detected is nigh incomprehensible

I know I’m not the first to say it, but so much of where we are today can be traced back to Bush v Gore
