Interesting concept. The blog has a lot more details[1]. One comment/question about the exit nodes. Can someone correct or validate my thoughts: It’s a WireGuard tunnel from the user to Mullvad, so while Obscura can’t see the user traf

And if those transcripts don’t have incriminating evidence, should they still be released? If they interviewed everyone at that parade, what they were doing etc, and some of those people were completely uninvolved but maybe having affairs,

Yeah it very much feels like a case of biting the hand that feeds. What’s the long term goal of AO by doing this?

Jersey is in a vastly different geographic situation. It’s super close to UK & Europe, so cost of trade is massively more economical than these other places in the middle of nowhere. Economies of scale work for small countries in populo

There’s already plenty of instances of the JLE doors opening out of sequence, misaligned etc. hasn’t stopped TfL from using them.

Yes I acknowledge the differences. We could still install PEDs with imprecise doors. Ie more doors than required. Larger doors than required. The main thing is for the door to only open while a train is in front of it, and all the train doo

Platform edge doors could be done half-height style without massive rebuilds of platforms. I’ve seen the half-heights in Japan and Malaysia. That also then avoids the need for super precise alignment which is an issue for platforms supporti

The first thing I thought of when I saw this is that some mid-tier dictatorships could replace a lot of their newscasters with this approach. Can always guarantee they’ll say what they need to say, and a lack of emotion is a plus maybe? Exc

Could also look at something like a RF and IR control hub. Something like https://www.orvibo.com/mobile/en/product/allone.html I’ve used it to control window blinds, projectors, projector screens, and even so

Honestly it just shows how poorly executed the changes were in 9, 11, 17 that made it so difficult for companies to migrate.

Depending on the job, being punctual can be critical to keeping customers happy. If I’ve got a major customer complaining about a critical issue and has scheduled a call with various stakeholders (including us) to discuss/resolve it, t

Exactly! The amount of worry they have is stupid and nonsensical and ultimately used to disguise their real reasons of just not wanting to share anything.

Devils advocate: Maybe they were worried about sales of photos of the bust, and other products of the bust but not created using the scans? Could one take all the scans and produce a coffee table book of photos similar to what the gift shop

Being able to do anything with the remaining bits is very useful. You can do any scheme that suits your individual features needs, and it will be a valid UUID still. This also means future schemes can be implemented right now without having

> Why waste R&D on a dead end? Because they’ll still make money from it. Because they are selling a sports car. They’re not targeting the same audience as your typical car manufacturer.

I was going to disagree with you, because most kiwis have no idea how to write the special o (myself included), so they’d end up typing toreo.nz instead. Which as it turns out, redirects to xn--treo-l3a.nz anyway. Nice!
