Here is a very quick graphic I drew up to show the B-2 Spirit compared to common US media estimates for the B-21's wingspan, the smallest assessment I came across in Chinese media, and now the actual (estimated) dimensions thanks to @Aviation_Intel and @thewarzonewire based on Google Maps imagery.
Math isn’t my strong suit, but shrinking the B-2 by that much seems to shake out to a roughly 30% reduction in internal volume (not weight, but space for ordnance).
Of course, a different payload bay layout and internal design could make those numbers nonsense anyway.
Why is Germany's anti-immigration AfD surging in popularity?
And why does immigration seem to work better in America than in Europe?

wyoming and colorado are made of 4 straight lines, but they still aren't rectangles. lines of longitude get closer as you go north, so the top edge is shorter than the bottom. for wyoming it's about 6% shorter
Since the French don’t have guns, and the police won’t enforce order, maybe store owners can boobytrap their buildings so we can get more of this.

I can't emphasize enough how important this @a16z chart seems and how few have internalized it.
Apparently there's a Jones Act equivalent for cruise ships if they do strictly domestic stops, which is why all of them do an international stop even if it's basically a joke. That's why river cruises in the US are so expensive compared to oceanic ones.
“How can you support Social Security privatization? Do you really want to trust your retirement to the market?”
Challenger broke apart at 11:39 a.m. on Jan. 28, 1986.
Almost immediately, the stock market singled out Morton Thiokol.

Are these light bulbs really going to last 45 years? I am putting one in a high up light fixture that is a pain to reach.
Many people hope remote work will raise birth rates. No commute, more flexibility, a chance to live near family.
I test the idea in a new paper. Among married women, the 2020 expansion of remote work reduced births. 🧵
Indian immigrants and their families have earned success despite being broadly discriminated against by US higher education.
Envy explains the one-sided political backlash against them. Mercifully few Indian Americans are aware because they are working too hard to notice.
On another note, I'm not sure I trust this survey. LDS look much less educated than I thought they'd be.
Not sure. Can Europe mimic the US’s success? Can the U.S.’s immigration turn into a European style, is immigration still a net good in a post-scarcity world, are there specific populations we shouldn’t attract as immigrants?
