They just know that anyways in case you didn't rotate IPs via TOR or I2P.

Additionally, lots of analytics services do TCP fingerprinting.

So they likely know it was you, if you didn't change TCP window sizes, TTLs and options (which I assume due to web browsers reusing the native OS's tcp stack).

Also if you didn't use ublock0, they will get an even better footprint via fingerprintjs (most common) that's probably as unique as it gets across your commune without having to know your exact IP.
The best view of the solar system I've experienced that could be incorporated into classroom learning is a VR tour. It not only shows you the relative distance really well, it also shows you the size of the planets relative to each other and you really get an intuitive sense of the massiveness of the sun (and other stars), for example.

Would you want to fire several hundred kilos of tungsten in a random direction while you're next to the USA coast, where civilians and shipping pass by all the time?

Edit: as a reply, since I can't post faster:

CIWS, in certain modes, do indeed track a target and fire at it, which could be considered a "random direction" when considering the maneuverability of the target.
Costco thinks that way. Used to be USAA. That’s about it as far as I can think.

Not really - you need thousands of pounds of ordinance to sink a destroyer and no small UAV is carrying that.

A lot of this is obvious now but not as much 8-10 years ago. Don't price your SaaS per seat, ever. It will be abused. My tiny, niche SaaS uses X 'resources' configured in the product. If you have X resources configured for your business it means you're big enough to pay more.
That's not been my experience on Android. I just opened an AMP link from Google search which opened in Chrome based WebView. Clicking on share - how I usually share things - presented me with the actual link of the article. From there I could copy or open any of the apps to actually share the link. AFAIK, this has been long fixed.

> "tech companies" generally are viewed as positively as churches and more positively than everything else, including universities

Google, and tech, is still popular. It's just not ridiculously, untouchably popular.

When it comes to Teflon in politics, what matters is (a) having a vocal minority who love you and (b) not having a vocal minority who hate you. The former protect you. The latter attack. Google went from having everyone on their side, strongly, to having most people on their side and a vocal minority against. That's the difference between a Congressional investigation or DOJ complaint gaining traction and getting sniped.

Also, nitpick, universities were expressed as having a positive impact by two thirds of Democrats and one third of Republicans in 2019; the comparable numbers were 54 and 44% for tech companies. In 2010 it was 71% and 66%. You don't lose twenty percent of the country costlessly, even if people start disliking other stuff a bit more, too.
I end up on Medium from searches or from posts to the HN home page. Either to medium.com or to some domain hosted there. In the latter case I realize it's Medium because of the 5+ seconds when the browser stops at a blank page, probably because it's loading some huge JS file instead of just the text content I'm there to read. To say that I don't appreciate that design is a big understatement.
Yeah they said there was marginal gas improvements on L1, but not sure how. Haven't read the source code yet.
But each request is logged if an ip is reused any website will be able to link your requests.
My working hypothesis is that the galaxy (if not at least the solar system) is teeming with rocks containing Protozoa that are ready to colonise any planet with the right conditions (in a matter of thousands of years after the conditions are right) the moment they are ready. Perfectly explains everything we see and honestly would not be surprising at all.

We need to start developing meaningful working hypotheses and make judgement calls instead of waiting till we have definitive proof. This was similar to how basically no one was surprised that every star out there has planets around it yet we were writing sci-fi under that assumptions for basically a century before definitive proof.
Sounds very much like a certain anecdote about a pottery class where one half was graded on a single final project and the other half was graded on the quantity of pots they made. At the end of the class, the half tasked with making lots of pots also ended up making better ones because they were constantly making and practicing.
I don't understand that mentality. At the very least I would think they would be considered a security risk since they could be spying on sensitive systems. It's not like we're talking about manned aircraft here.

Here's what CIWS look like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-in_weapon_system

Do those things have the capability to attack such tiny targets that are already close in? We're talking about something the size and speed of a bird. By the time you realize it's not a bird it's probably already on top of you. Moreover, they're small enough that they wouldn't represent a substantial threat to a ship in and of themselves (as compared to, say, an explosive-laden dinghy), and so perhaps not necessarily the kind of target that would've been specified for these weapons systems. I would imagine defenses for such small UAVs would be more in the vein of electronic countermeasures.
We don't like the stonk
Sounds like something a couple of CIA operatives (plus support) could do easily, without leaving a trail.

And then the only other thing to risk might be to relay “anything in this sector is with our boys, wink wink” to one person in command locally, who will know not to engage, and who will never ask any questions.

Matter of fact, they could get away with just reading and maybe temporarily “influencing” the rules of engagement for drones, and then allowing them to be amended “in light of the incident”.
Where is the evidence? This is just some logs of sightings by the crew on the ships. No specific information or anything of interest really other than random references to hashtag tic tac.
Conditions off the Californian coast are different to a Straight of Hormuz transit. Every deployment will have command guidance, RoE, threat briefings, maintain a picture of possible threats etc. A ship doing routine training is probably under default 'self defence' rules. And no CO wants to be the one to mistakenly blast some civilians into pink mist.

But how expensive are those missiles? Are they meant for killing small drones?
It means OP does not have the slightest clue of what he is talking about. I hope he is talking about trans-neptunian objects in THIS solar system.
I would think CIWS systems don't fire in random directions. Anyway if these were just small drones that would probably be overkill, I would think a shotgun would be sufficient.
People use drones for sport fishing.

You give an editorial team a chance to leave if you want them to take a different stance and you think not all of them will be onboard.

The following is probably just glib speculation and (trigger warning) I apologize for the mortal harm, and deep and long offense it will cause to our delicate and venerable brothers and sisters who have awakened their righteous moral zeal for a bit of the old fashioned ultraviolence (I mean mob executions) in the woke movement but could this be related to the confluence of:

- Rise of Substack and "unedited/uncensored" writers having a diversity of opinions, readership and success without having to toe any ideological line dictated by the venerable offices of the ministries of politically correct truth (our beloved overlords)?

- Impending decline or unprofitability of cancel culture and Medium's nascent wish to adopt a wider net for writers of all perspectives to try to capture some of the value Substack is surfacing, while acknowledging their existing editorial team is probably too ideologically inflexible and overly fixated on the woke tropes of hunting witches, mob-executions of resistance sympathizers and exiling heretics to be able to benefit from these trends?

- The impossibility of a leader of the Silicon Valley set couching anything in such counter-revolutionary terms, so it needs to be infused with anodyne positivity in order to pre-emptively counter any woke-police criticisms and fly under the counter-woke-dar of our venerable overlords?

- Missive sent from output 9, with greatest respect to our eternally and most woke overlords, may they bless us

That's just like your opinion, man. Not everyone values sexual relationships the same way you seem to. Aside from the example of the comment parent, Japan has an interesting cultural phenomenon of "herbivore men" characterized by a general indifference to marriage and committed relationships.

This is why I never eat at restaurants and cook 100% of my meals since the pandemic started.

WFH has finally given me the ability to eat healthy. All meat I buy is pasture-raised corn/soy free (animals never fed it), shipped frozen since you can’t buy that in stores. I’ve followed a “low-lectin” diet for a couple years but it was pretty impossible to not cheat pre-pandemic. Now my main starches are cassava flour and sweet potatoes. Fuck corn/soy.

A suggestion would be to treat destinations that do not need to traverse a gateway (ie local network) differently.
Browsers would need to implement this.
Further, they could present an initial dialog to 'trust' the local network. Obviously we don't want to do this in public Wi-Fi networks, but the OS already has a concept of 'private' vs 'public' networks, and the browser can easily know if the destination needs to be routed or it's local.

Not on hand, sorry, I don't follow it that closely. My advice if you're interested in ultra low pause time designs is to look more at ZGC and maybe Shenandoah, and look for detailed comparisons to the other JVM GCs (especially G1 which has also seen some advances since it originally was designed). I'm not aware of any other ecosystem besides the JVM's that's had as much GC innovation in the last 15 years (one has to include Azul's now-old proprietary work to get that time span since ZGC is just now catching up to it) -- not to mention exposure to real and varied workloads. And if you just restrict to OpenJDK, the last 2 or 3 years have seen a lot of improvement that even many Java programmers still have no idea of if they're still stuck in Java 8 land.

It's super weird that you talk like Valve isn't a juggernaut making billions in revenue per year.
Yes, I got access after the announcement but signed up relatively early. They likely just have a long list of signups.

It's also not super hard to get really sexist completions. To OpenAI's credit, they seem to detect these pretty well and flag a warning, but it could also be why they are slow-rolling the availability.
Great question, I feel like GPT3 does a great job with predictable generation, like Family Feud answers. The first two are very predictable and the remaining 10 fall closer to a line that most folks would try out at least as an icebreaker, which is the expected result of a successful pickup line.

Some of the article's examples were too off the mark for folks to attempt.
Launching rockets that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at drones that cost almost nothing is not a solution. It's a recipe for defeat via attrition. They could have 50 cheap decoy drones for every drone carrying a payload.

Also the laser is far more scalable than rockets but still easily overwhelmed and susceptible to the same attack because it cannot distinguish between decoy drones and payload drones
Completely agree. Substack..at least what it is so far is what Medium failed to do. And Substack isn't even that big yet.
I suspect that they can fry electronics by using the radar offensively.
And, we're only going to hear of events that were seen. Even if the locations of events were random, we simply would be more capable of spotting ones that happen in that area

This is probably demonstrating my ignorance, but what does it mean to 'fail to unionize'? Does it mean that they were trying to create a new union but not enough people joined?

Typically in Australia people join unions related to their award (broadly correlating with industry) rather than a specific employer, so it's not something I'm familiar with.
So, how many current world leaders would be on your "justifiable to assassinate" list? Kim Jong-un, perhaps? Should it be official U.S. policy to have the CIA working on trying to kill him? Kim Jong-un presumably thinks we're just as evil as we might think he is; should he feel justified in trying to assassinate the leaders of Western countries? How about Putin, people say he jails his political opponents and rigs his elections, does he count? Should there be a Cold War of Assassination going on?
The UAV could be the first part of a coordinated attack... it could do something to foul the sensors on the ship, for example.
Why is everyone so caught up on the atmospheric pressure of Venus being 90 atmospheres? That's only 3K feet of water, and plenty of stuff lives deeper then that in the oceans - so obviously things can survive the pressure ?
With so many civilian vessels nearby, and so near the coast, it seems like "shoot first and ask questions later" might not be the way to go in cases like this. A Phalanx CIWS round can travel over 5 km if it doesn't hit anything.
Bit different for medical studies, though, isn't it?
I'm not sure how old you are, but a lot has changed, recently, in our knowledge of Earth, its evolution, the solar system, and astronomy.

One of the books I had growing up was a Patrick Moore juvenile book on astronomy, probably Seeing Stars (1970). That had a ... pretty good ... description of the state of knowledge at the time, but it was published only about five years after the 4.5 billion year figure for the age of the Earth, and plate tectonics as a geological mechanism, were formally adopted.

The Viking missions, Voyager, Mars rovers, New Horizons, the Hubble Space Telescope, Keck observatory, LIGO ... were all in the future.

The degree of development in the field of geology in the 20th century alone has been staggering. Credible scientific estimates of the age of the Earth in 1900 were as little as 30 million years (Lord Kelvin's gravitational collapse/cooling calculation). Interestingly, parallel developments in physics (notably radioactivity) helped give us the clocks we finally needed to measure geological time. We could trace landmass movements, make some determination of interior structures using seismic (and I suspect nuclear blast) waves, and more.

Much of the more interesting physics (and some chemistry) Nobel Prize awards of the past 50 years have been in sensing and detecting, at large and small scales, again, giving tools to measure, detect, and distinguish patterns, structures, and phenomena.

Within my own lifetime notions such as the asteroid hypothesis for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs have passed from wild theory to accepted fact, we've got evidence of 300 million-year snowball Earths, strong evidence concerning early Earth evolution, atmospheric composition, and life. We have detected thousands of extrasolar planets (a value still strongly limited by what sizes, types, orbits, and distances at which such detection is possible). Pluto's been un-planeted, and imaged. We've kissed the face of comets and returned their dust to Earth.

And we're starting to get some idea as what the long-term stability of planetary orbits might be --- the notion that planets may wander not only in the skies but in their orbital characteristics ... would change things markedly.

So it's quite possible that what you didn't pick up wasn't there to pick up when you were learning it.
> But how expensive are those missiles?

i don't think the officers in charge of protecting the ship generally factor the material costs of doing so in to their decisions. they've got standing orders from above, and somewhere far up the chain, somebody traded off costs, lives, reputation, etc, etc. dude at the bottom has a set of rules.
There are moderate tools like multi-round double blind reviews to resolve such issues.

A tool which was used to resolve issues among chemists and biologists is now running rampant over fields which do not have a high volume of citations. Mathematics is suffering, for example.

An Annals of Math paper might have fewer citations than a paper in Journal of Applied Statistics. But the prestige is incomparable.
Now it's the Navy and the CIA? When does the NSA get roped into this elaborate conspiracy? Get a grip.
My personal experience with Azure/AWS is that sometimes the products sound the same but there are painful caveats.

For example, Azure Event Hubs and AWS Kinesis both say you can pick a shard key (eg CustomerId) in your messages to have processing order for each customer.

However, Azure Event Hubs notes (and my experience was that) using this feature is subject to downtime because each shard is not highly available so you can't really use it as the first step, but it is reliable on Amazon.
Unfortunately, I think it's a little more 21st Century Pearl Harbor, and less or at all benevolent.

Well the CIA isn’t technically supposed to operate on US soil, but this happened at sea, loads of people think that claim is a total joke anyway, and PSYOP is one of their specialties.

Or it could have been highly compartmentalized within the Navy[0]. Or it could have been foreigners or pranksters! I have some “grip” on all of those possibilities, and I don’t claim to know what happened.

Anyway, the possibility it was staged is not as ridiculous as you assume, even before considering precedent.

Lockdowns will only work long term if they are used to reduce the level of infection to a level that can be controlled by other means (testing, tracking, quarantine, and social distancing).

US and European public health agencies don't seem up to that task. You could lockdown until US numbers are literally 0 and we'd just grow exponentially again after we got the first case from incoming visitor.

And I don't think a 2 month stringent lockdown would be enough to totally eliminate the virus once its in every county in all 50 states. There aren't enough federal agents in the world to weld rural Kentuckians into their houses like was done in Wuhan.

Other than Wuhan, have lockdowns ever really stopped--over the long run--a large outbreak?
Didn't the destroyer have its own drone to go up and look?
To be fair, they equip the SNOOPIE team w/ COTS, hand held video cameras rather than installing some sophisticated, centrally managed surveillance camera system. OTOH, it's much less dangerous for a bunch sailors to run around on deck with cameras than with shotguns.
