I think it's a stretch to call OP doing a "witch-hunt" here. That Android guy is a mini LinkedIn celebrity with 100k followers.

There's this famous line item which is called something like "securities sold but not yet purchased", e.g. with their market maker privilege Citadel can create infinite synthetic shares out of thin air to facilitate that a tr

Are they "trading" or "high-frequency-ripping-off-retail-investors"? It's easy to make paper billions with synthetic shares and infinite deadline extensions for settlement. I'm old and still remember when Ken G

The constitutional monarchies respect each others' land ownership and colonies, but in terms of actual power the British Crown dwarfs everything, especially if one correctly recognizes the USA as their vassal state. Outside of this the

It's one Monarch, but many eyes. All information flows to the Crown.

Unfortunately I can't check how traffic flows from France to Switzerland because I'm not in France. My traffic from Germany passes through a British-owned hop on its way to Switzerland. My German ISP is British as well so either w

I'd be surprised if there is a single route from EU to non-EU countries which does not pass through British control.

Same for the origin IP address. The fiber leaving your country is tapped, and those people can inject packets with any origin IP that they want. Your ISP has no way to check if their peer actually received a certain packet from a certain co

Of course. I was trying to say that it would be nice to limit certain variables to an ASCII charset, or ASCII+umlaut+accents without any of the 10k other UTF8 shenanigans.

by bflesch 2mo ago
I agree. At this point scripting languages should have native support for string subtypes with custom charsets (ascii/utf16) or just regexp-defined or even ENUM()'erated values. IIRC historically on Windows, a string was UTF16, on

Love the tab title shenanigans when switching to and from the tab.

And it makes me feel better about my own government, while it takes news reporting bandwidth from other stories that are buried instead.

This website is so much faster than 99% of the modern macbook-focused websites with all those fades and css transitions.

The animations make it quite slow on my system. Maybe there's a way to figure out if users actually have webgl enabled and only then do the animations.

Amazing! Just disable the animations it makes my system really slow.

Nice project, but I think the PDF format could be improved. I'd prefer having landscape layout and original text and translated text side-by-side or keep the portrait layout and do a line-by-line translation so that it is easier to rev

I wonder if there are technical factors for this such as 24/7 exposure to LED flickering or engine vibrations. Also withdrawal from your social circle might be a factor, your body has time to wind down if you're not interacting wi

I can't even joke about Microsoft, I just feel pity for them. So long at the game and reduced from a dominating software house to slop fabric with no professional honor to deliver a product with certain quality level. Their cash cow cu

I'm confident it's been censored and people have been killed to keep this story under wraps.

Check out the 1951 layer [1], it has a huge gap in the rockaway beach / hammels area which is not present in the 1924 layer or any other layers. Historicaerials.com does not offer 1951 or 1924, it only offers 1954 and later. The gap in

This is amazing. Unfortunately the 1960s, 70s and 80s seem to have been censored in the historic aerial maps. It's a very important period in NYC construction history where buildings with interesting shapes kept popping up. The gap bet

This will trip up most SOC workflows in funny ways, and I like it. IPs having a global distinction between public/private is a convention, but local routing can widely differ. Same with the "China Cyberattacks" - the guys sit

Depends on jurisdiction, in many European countries a company with more than 300 employees can't do these kind of layoffs without giving a concrete reason, and if they do they need to close down a whole office location (e.g. we're

To me it's always mindblowing how the headcount of a startup can massively increase and the company still be considered a "success story".

I don't understand why this is problematic for some: They lay off 93 people so the total # employees before layoffs is 465 and it will be 372 employees remaining after layoffs. In same post they state there are 300k creators making mon

The audience still recognizes talent, but talent is far from everything one needs to be successful. For every new star that suddenly "pops up everywhere" I recommend a journey through newspaper [0] and government archives based on
