This lets you bulk download the .h5 files once you have an Earthdata account (https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/home )
or you can use the libraries if you'd like, https://github.com/nsidc/earthaccess or https://github.com/asfadmin/Discovery-asf_search
> Here is what the Israelis would do: cut off food, power and water to Gaza, do their best to give everyone a safe way to walk out unarmed, house them in spartan but livable conditions, and send the Gazans to another country—preferably one in which they speak the language.
> ... And the site will be ready for development. Did I hear someone say “beachfront?”
> .. [Israel] could collectively grant them a slice of equity in the new Gaza. The new Gaza—developed, of course, by Jared Kushner—is the LA of the Mediterranean, an entirely new charter city on humanity’s oldest ocean, sublime real estate with an absolutely perfect, Apple-quality government
I don't think the arm was related to anything with intelligence- they just needed some way to have a second radar slightly moved away from the main one on the Shuttle. The further away it is, the more accurate they could measure elevation, so they stuck it way out on a pole.
But I think you're right that it's possibly one of the most widely used GIS datasets. Some applications obviously need finer resolution than 30 meters, and lidar is more accurate for the small areas that it can cover, but it's still cool that they could cover most of the globe at 30 meter resolution
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.

It could be the best global DEM if it's released, but now they're still charging for it. Maybe in a few years as new DLR satellites come on line.
the summary being:
- The vertical velocity of the diverted air is proportional to the speed of the wing and the angle of attack.
- The lift is proportional to the amount of air diverted times the vertical velocity of the air
it also debunks the myth of "air flows faster on the top side of the wing, causing lift"
Is there any way to add some kind of flag/sorting mechanism on this for code that requires massive GPUs/ computing power to reproduce?

Are you allowed to use getchar() twice? (seems like a silly question? read on!)
---------------------------------------------------- kangaroo% cat test.c #include <stdio.h>
main() { int c; c=getchar(); putchar(c); c=getchar(); putchar(c); putchar('\n'); } kangaroo% gcc test.c kangaroo% echo "Hi" | a.out H^@ kangaroo% cc test.c kangaroo% echo "Hi" | a.out Hi ---------------------------------- Anybody know what's going on?
It's encrypted, so it's not for civilian use, and the ability to look at two signals of different frequency at the same time means that they have been able to have much more robust GPS than civilians for awhile.
You could check how that changed over time: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
Not sure if they are the same, but it might be along the same lines of "We don't want to give everyone access to everything".
