good morning. CQ! CQ!

Cheers Dale ! good morning all

My only experience with ham radio was helping my friend slingshot an antenna over tall trees on the top of a mountain in San Francisco

Had to be San Bruno Mountain

Good morning!

Good morning Amy! Happy start to the week!

Pamela Martinez, thx for introduction

Re: hot Jupiter, perhaps weather patterns / convection currents, like the giant red spot redistributing temperatures. Just speculation

I liked that one too Bryon! She has a long history since 2003: https://www.teletextile.org/our-story

@DTO yes, the authors consider that: Finally, high spatial resolution dynamical simulations have produced latitudinal offsets through intense storms (Cho et al. 2021). However, these simulations also produce quasiperiodic variability in their total planetary emission that has yet to be measured in hot Jupiter atmospheres (e.g., Kilpatrick et al. 2020; Murphy et al. 2023). Both eclipses in our observation show similar morphology (Figure 4), suggesting that the planet is not variable at a detectab

detectable level over the duration of one orbit, and MIRI/LRS observations at a different epoch agree. If the latitudinal offset is due to variability, this variability is below current detection limits. Additional observations could place further constraints on the potential for variability.

Thanks for the clarification

Good morning :)

good morning Guelo! Good morning all, even the silent ones, even the driving ones that will never see this :)

One would hope

Dear Ask The Question: why are you giving airspace to these extremely wicked ideas?

I really don't think the Cato Institute is a good source for 'objective' research.

Did the authors consider the capacity of the USA to absorb potentially a billion immigrants?

I knew this could be controversial! Yes the Cato Institute can be biased, but any research on issues like this can come off this way. There is a lot of scholarly work in this area

Say what you will about it but here is at least one passage about a massive influx of population: "Second, a high share of government spending is "nonrival"- government can serve a larger population for little or no extra cost. National defense is the most obvious example. If the population of the U.S. doubled, the current military could still ably defend it. You certainly wouldn't need to double the total defense budget. An even clearer case: if the population of the U.S. doubled overnight...

"... the national debt (not deficit) would remain the same, and the per capita debt would halve. The lesson: Immigrants can pull their own fiscal weight even if their tax bills are well below average."

Alastair, I would love to open the conversation about what part you find wicked, just for my own clarification. I'd be happy to respond here or on air

I think that this Cato Institute piece is actually tacitly an attempt to justify the policies which you referred to on-air as "abhorrent". I think Bryan Caplan's thesis is misrepresented in the piece itself (something thinkers on the right do a lot, speaking out of both sides of their mouth). I expect the intended thesis, when read by members of the already extremely authoritarian-curious audience, the intended read-between-the-lines thesis is "we could sell these policies of subjugation"

I also think that speaking about cheapness as a boon for a public policy decision is a big tell: wouldn't a simpler solution to raising the same money be to tax the billionaires? Why do they want us thinking about taxing low income people more instead?

I can definitely see that and fully agree with your latter point. Thank you for providing context and answering here.

By the way, love the Matmos track

Just to add some levity to the convo

Aside from the $$ on national defense, are we factoring in the percentage of people actually joining the military?

I have no idea whether that's included in any of this scholarly work. Of course lots of stories out there about recent immigrants joining the US military. Important to the contra-narrative.

I absolutely agree it's important to discuss & share ideas & I thank you for doing so & presenting where the info is from.

Thank you for the positivity! I like to talk about things that are interesting but also important, and that's always challenging when those things are inherently political.

Love that Ibibio Sound Machine!

Good morning DJ AskTheQuestion & all ☕️

Good morning Christine, thanks for joining!

Yup. I rarely discuss politics with people (even if we share the same opinion), because regardless of the topic, I like to know & research where the purported info is coming from.

Thx for the as always great show!

Cheers, DJ AtQ! Always informative, always good music picks

Thank you to both of you and all the other listeners this morning!

But we can learn about them by fitting the infrared emission (measured with JWST) they emit to detailed models By looking at how WASP-43b changed its brightness over its orbit, scientists discovered that the brightest region was not at the equator, but at the part directly facing its sun They even deduced that clouds exist preferentially on the night-side, not on the day-side!

Widespread reporting on the Darien Gap has shown the deadly, chaotic mess that immigration into the US has become, due to a collection of "deterrent" policies It is one question whether we can deter immigrants.
