Detection of rocket launches via ionospheric disturbances. This is using #GPS data published by Japan, detecting the North Korea missile test.

It works by comparing GPS data paths on two different bands to estimate the total electron content (TEC) in the #ionosphere. Very cool.

I found out about this from the #ArmsControlWonk podcast. Recommended. https://www.armscontrolwonk.com/

"How Sting Likes to Test"

Good episode of the #ArmsControlWonk #podcast this morning, discussing the New Start treaty and (pessimistic) opinions of further arms control.

This included a brief discussion of the mindset of the cold war, including the fact that some of the old nuclear analysts at RAND didn’t bother making retirement contributions because they didn’t think there was a point.

As Lewis put it, nuclear deterrence “isn’t working unless you’re shitting your pants”.

•Paul is dead → Paul ist tot

“Best translation fail. The arabic spells out a transliteration of 'meat ball' in English - which sounds like 'mayit baul', or Dead Paul.”
