To test some of Apple’s new Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, I put together a fun little exercise app featuring HE-MAN.

The US military lacks enough quality data about UAP in their airspace to understand what the objects are or what their intents might be. Surprisingly, the same holds for cyberspace. In two videos I describe designs to address these issues.

The acronyms AR, MR, VR, and XR are increasingly used in the media to describe the exploding augmented/virtual reality market. This post takes a more nuanced view of the full XR spectrum with an eye towards the business segments along this spectrum.

Using product costs as a lens through which to evaluate the viability of a new business - whether you are creating the business or investing in it - can be valuable. It helps inform the questions that must be answered when evaluating the potential of the business.

Cat just being a goofball.

Twitter is struggling today. Is Trump freaking out?

Such occurrences used to be common in the early days (remember the Fail Whale?), but Twitter, a social network also used by government officials to communicate with the public and attack each other, has been pretty solid for many years now.

Drones are an asymmetric threat - cheap, ubiquitous, and easy to use, but expensive and hard to defend against.

The military has officially released video evidence of phenomenon that they apparently do not understand and that demonstrates capabilities (e.g., high performance with no heat signature) that is unknown to them. All three videos are available in this post.

Twenty years ago, on May 4, 2000, the ILOVEYOU worm swept through an Air Force site I happen to be monitoring with an experimental network sensor. We present a video showing what our sensor was doing and how the worm looked from that sensor’s perspective.

As of this writing Worldometer is reporting 59,110 US deaths due to COVID-19, exceeding the 58,209 US deaths (combined combat, accidents, suicide, and murder) in the 14-year Vietnam War.

We don’t know if the antibody tests now being deployed are accurate, and even if they are accurate, we don’t yet know what the results imply.

In a nutshell, estimated death toll = Population_size * (1 - 1/R0) * IFR. And as of right now, R0 is the only variable we can really control. This is why social isolation is important, but it is also important to realize R0 may vary by region. One plan may not fit all.

A quick dive into what your Mac does when you use the man command from the Terminal.

The January 23 WHO Situation Report, citing several lines of evidence, made it clear that there was person-to-person transmission of the virus.

A quick back of the envelope calculation suggests we would have 184,000 dead in the United States right now without relatively early shelter in place efforts across the country.

This post shows how it is easy to spot these Command & Control agents waking up and calling their C&C servers. In these cases, the C&C agents are (mostly) benign.

Fox News and Sinclair-owned local stations are propaganda machines.

US COVID-19 deaths exceed all US deaths in wars and conflict since the end of the Vietnam war.
