JPL releases some of their products of earthquakes/disasters world wide here: https://aria-share.jpl.nasa.gov/

Also a group a Leeds is trying to make a public portal: https://comet.nerc.ac.uk/COMET-LiCS-portal/

Neither place seems to have the recent Nevada earthquakes though.

There's a bunch of effort to make InSAR more available/accessible. Even though plenty of SAR data is available through ASF (https://search.asf.alaska.edu/#/), it takes a bunch more processing beyond the SAR images to get useful ground deformation.

ASF has also started to try providing some interferograms (single InSAR images) but without averaging a bunch over an area, or doing more advanced stuff, they often look like mostly noise on a given day.

The following can be used to process InSAR data: https://github.com/isce-framework/isce2

Well, if USAF want a "cheaper 5th minus" fighter, the NGAD is going almost the opposite direction.

USAF has a history of choosing fast and good from fast, good, and cheap.

I would guess that the NGAD prototype[0] has given USAF leadership confidence to publicly alude to F-35 shortcomings.

So why didn't that happen with the germans and italians in the US?
ElMono · 5 years ago
Especially for the roughly 20,000 supporters of the German American Bund that openly supported the Nazi regime.

Do you know ConEmu? It has pretty extensive configuration and is under active development. Though I am not that much of a console user so I wouldn't know the pitfalls, if any, I just love it because it's so configurable, and it's been very good to me.

Another option worth trying is Microsoft's Windows Terminal.

This is a good, lite technical read for those interested in stealth.

That looks interesting; adding that to my to-read list. Related to stealth, but less technical, is Ben Rich's "Skunk Works":
