Good work! > However, there's a second attack. The attacker can run one or more hostile guard nodes. If he can knock me off enough guards, my tor daemon will eventually choose one of his guards. Then he can identify my actual networ

Actually, both have worked for me. But yeah, wrong answers are more informative.

I really doubt that people have overall become more contentious and disrespectful. It's just that, with social media and the Internet generally, it's so much more visible. People ranting about this and that were always there, but

Thanks. So I wonder if there's a workaround to get deeper search. Maybe I'll dig, and see if I can find how I scraped it.

I didn't mean that your comment is factually incorrect. It's just that neutrally observing that 50% of a population would die is at least off-putting. Given your explanation, maybe you were mocking the credulous. Mocking doesn&#x2

Doesn't say which virus. If they don't know, fine. Albeit sloppy, given the context. If they do know, and don't say, it's deceptive.

I spend a lot of my time writing, and when I'm ready, stuff just pours out. I'm always thinking the words as I write them, but there's not lots of intervening internal dialog. Often it's like I have no clue what I'm

I'd expect that death certificates would specify the specific cause, if it's known. But I don't know if that's true. Either way, it makes the data far less useful.

Huh. Thanks. I guess that it's been that many years since I used Usenet. If stuff is really gone, that would suck. Because I've read that Google has the only comprehensive Usenet archive, acquired with Deja News, supposedly going

There's also the issue that archives may seemingly be up, but not at all complete. For example, many of the mid-90s posts about Jim Bell's "Assassination Politics" proposal are missing from public archives of the cypherp

Some of this, I suspect, is about differences in how people understand "speak" and "hear". I mean, I have an internal monologue, and sometimes even dialogs or arguments. But I would never confuse them with something I ac

As others imply, it's the flying itself that delivers the potentially worrisome dose. But that's not an issue, unless you fly every day.

That cuts both ways. You might miss something valuable. Perhaps from a long-lost relative. Or a prospective client or employer. And once you're actually looking through the spam folder, what good is it really?

I love the quote from Sheriff Combs. It's priceless. That guy has quite the sense of humor. Reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones in "Men in Black".

True. But barriers to market entry is also a prong for establishing monopoly power. So it cuts both ways.

Yep, that was it. It works perfectly in Firefox v71.0 :) And a very cool sky view animation!

Really, do the math. Take the sun's mass, and multiply by average absolute temperature and the specific heat of hydrogen. That'll be a huge number, but far less than the sun's energy output. You could also compare energy outp

I wasn't really complaining. I just mentioned it. And that was unnecessary, and distracted from my real point. I only mentioned it to explain why I couldn't see behavior after answering the popup about location permission.

OK, fair enough. And it is your site. I'm just a little surprised that Firefox would have changed enough since last May to break your site. And there's also the other tweaks I've made. For example, I don't allow WebGL

I entirely understand your reaction. And I suspect that you're using a VPN service, given the comment about deanonymization. But really, this is exactly why it's kinda sorta pointless to use VPNs and Tor browser on smartphones. Al

Sure, but there were limits, I think. One of my favorite Japanese films, Samurai Rebellion , explores the clash between principles and loyalty. It features Toshirô Mifune, and some amazing costuming. And then there's Takasi Miike&#x27

I guess. But consider that the total thermal energy of the Sun is negligible compared to the total energy flux. And that thermal conduction is way too slow, anyway.

I thought that varieties currently sold have little morphine. Or at least, I recall that one ex wife had an heirloom variety from her mother. Which supposedly had lots of morphine. Not that I ever tested it.
