2KM is kinda useless once the missile has achieved ballistic trajectory.
At speed of 2.5km/second, the missile will whiz pass this thing quicker than any damage can be done to it.
Note both the videos show the missile at launch, when they are not at top speed, may work for Hamas to Israel scenario, won't work for North Korea to South Korea type of scenario.

narrowly fixed work schedules across a team make less sense every decade.
So we should only expect them to persist for the next century or so.

When the problem predates the technology (or at least the wide adoption of the technology), it's pretty unlikely that the technology is the primary problem. It may be aggravating things, but the root cause is somewhere else.

I was told in grad school that we were going to run out of IP4 addresses in 2 years. That was in 1993.
Yeah, then we came up with CIDR. Then we widely implemented NAT as a stopgap.
The wolf has actually been there. We've just been shooting at it and scaring it off. Now it's back again and we're out of ammo.

I don't think they can force sellers outside of the USA to charge US state sales tax to their customers so I guess I will be buying some stuff 'offshore'
Which makes things really easy for them because they can just hit you with the tax when it goes through customs.
