A quick search revealed multiple versions of an incident that seems at script kiddie level rather than a Nation State adversary. It must say something about the condition of a society when random riffraff want to remove essential infrastructure.

Although attribution is hard …. My intuition is that this was the project of either nihilistic teens who wanted to test and probably brag about their prowess, or would-be terrorists making a feasibility experiment. Bots are convincing people to tell them their 2FA codes. This is a remarkably simple but effective scam. This is particularly compelling since people expect these large corporations to contact them via automated messages.

There are plenty of media outlets just using this story to spread FUD. Which is why I did not provide any link. Substation: Bird or Squirrel? Oh well, proceed]. My search on drones and sub stations only pulled up a refrence to an incident back in July in Pennsylvania. Wired has a piece with a panic now headline with a sub-head of,. Which gives no confidence from then on in.

Odd that the camera had been removed, that is if it was capable of sending back live feed to the operator might account for crash. It seems unlikely to be the last, however.

Is not exactly correct. Firstly as it is assumrd to have crashed it did not reach any kind of target that we know was the target. Without knowing a lot more it would be daft to speculate to far.

Apparently in the UK one was found just dangling probably weeks after it became entangled. It did not work then, so what are the odds these days? The genie is out the bottle on this, and there is no technological solution. The simple fact is making your own RC aerial vehicle is under graduate project level or less stuff. With quite a few high school kids more than capable of making one. Heck there was that guy that turned a motor bike into a quad fan aerial vehicle a few years back.

So payload is not realy an issue. Which does raise the question of if the attackers target was cables etc or something entirely different…. Something that is not just public but fairly common knowledge. Well all that happrned was idiots were rounded up, the less stupid just moved to where CCTV was not, and the smarter ones devrloped new tactics… The average community CCTV costing tens if not hundreds of thousands more or less failed within six months.

So the only people being hurt is the ordinary citizen. My bank states specifically it will never contact me by phone. Unsolicited 2FA codes go the same place as unsolicited email, which has diminished from some sources since I played their game by bouncing spam to their security dept.

All cryptocurrencies are scams. They are sin against the democratic ethos and a curse upon mankind. Nothing has changed in years. Ethos, logos, pathos. Mix Cicero with technology and one gets the hand wringing and pearl clutching in that article you linked to. AI robots invading your dreams, secretly commanding you to buy white robes and kill minorities. This article is your average broadsheet newspaper coverage on this issue but a few others things about the whole story caught my eye…. The suspicion the BBC had problems with its news and current affairs department began creeping out during the Cameron government and its taken a long time to piece things together and make a case for government and Tory party capture.

I have come across teachers on social media saying they warn students the BBC can no longer be considered a reliable source. Much like the corrosive influence or corruption or in the workplace contractive dismissal or a regime of inadequacy and recklessness small signals like this can be indicators.

They all add up. A micro-feint here, a micro-nudge there, a shift of emphasis, an evasion of rationality by attempting to manipulate emotion. Most of the media and social media is missing it but the trouble going on inside the BBC is as big as the unrest which happened within Google and Facebook.

I have far too many thoughts floating around my mind about state abuse and media polarisation and negligence to comment much but this is a notable and interesting event for many reasons. I think that is important. If it helps at all, here is a direct link to the tweet with the hand signal.

There was a young lady dressed in an above-knee-length skirt, with a man in a rather dingy van. The vibe: shady. I regret to this day that I do not know exactly what I should have done. I would like to venture a guess, if that is okay? Is it that 3 of the 4 videos have the word time in their title, but the one that does not the Orchestra-accompanied version of Fooling Yourself by Tommy Shaw is the one to pay attention to?

Because the musicians actually look like they are not just playing the music but really enjoying it. So the method would be that doing things you enjoy takes time out of the equation? What did I miss??? Was this technical? I keep saying this is bigger than Savile and bigger than Matrix Churchill. The far right and the far right aligned UK government and BBC et al and an increasing array of institutions and regulators captured by this government are up beyond their eyeballs in it.

The rot goes deeper still. With deadlines, is it best to set a tight one, or one further into the future, to allow for more time to complete the task? Or perhaps no deadline at all works best? Outlawing any and all terminations of pregnancies across the entirety of the United States could result in a 21 percent jump in pregnancy-related deaths, estimates a recent study.

Among Black communities, the figure is an even more shocking 33 percent. Getting stuff done and human rights are both topics in themselves. Current reports on state sector senior appointments and corruption and human rights abuses and underming of law should be viewed in this context.

Policing of this is almost always reactive and very often the trail goes cold or information goes walkies. This is aother reason to keep your eye on the ball and retain a broad spectrum of analysis and evidence so when the other shoe drops you are good to go. Should ascorbic acid be added to beer? Too funny! In the UK rickets, scurvy, and tuberculosis are all up as well as other healthcare related problems. This is indicative of problems caused by dogmatic and malignant government policy driving poverty as well as abuse of immigrant labour.

Other areas of public policy are similarly impacted. I once requested a book on Scurvy from the library. It must have been a topic too obscure for my local library system, so I believe they had to make a special request to add the title to the circulation. Eat the oranges ye swollen-gum maties! So hackers are hoarding data? The Atlantic should know better than to generalize a group that was once synonymous with hobbyist or ham operator. As a hacker myself I take offense to the derogatory aspersions denoted in the context of the statement.

Actually, Vasco da Gama already knew about this before There are many more accounts of expeditions that used this knowledge well before I think this ignorance was a combination of the NIH syndrome, the problems of preserving ascorbic acid containing foods try to preserve oranges in the tropics for months , and not valuing the crews enough to a large extend they were disposable.

It appears some sailors took to adding lime-juice and sugar to make the drink more palatable. Not everyone will like or approve of the content on Techrights, but there are some interesting nuggets. The coverage of the EPO is long-running, and not mainstream, and similarly much of the other coverage is very much not mainstream; which may be an advantage, or not, depending upon your point of view.

He was meer European, and thus the European views point of view about knowledge. It appears that there is evidence in Egypt and China that certain fruits stopped symptoms that sound like scurvy…. Primarily caused by the value of cotton being considerably greater than food crops.

Which appart from releasing niacin also added to the mineral content, with calcium from the lye and iron from cooking pots etc. I had my suspicions the links for TLE and Gemini might be problematic. I see, I see. Well apparently there is more in the book that untangles that and why an estimated two million sailors died from scurvy during the Age of Sail, even though some earlier people and civilizations had their own observations on curative agents.

Even when captains knew that sailors were showing the early signs of scurvy, they were loath to put into port or to anchor close to shore to search for fresh provisions. In port desertion was a problem, while along coasts without friendly ports it could be dangerous business to send hunting parties and scavengers to search for greens. Unless the ship had a botanist on board by the end of the eighteenth century, surgeons were encouraged to acquire this skill , captains had no way of identifying whether a plant was antiscorbutic, or indeed if it was poisonous.

A recent IT system upgrade has disrupted the supply of some of our products. Our sites are still making crisps and snacks but at a reduced scale…. The article did not expand on what sort of IT Glitch would knock out an entire automated production line but one might imagine a number of bottlenecks or limited redundancy-backup systems.

A good number of people have never seen automated food lines other than a few snaps of people in the abbatoir standing shoulder to shoulder. The farm product, like sugar cane, is dropped off from field trucks into large receiving bins that are timer or weight activated to start production. The entire process takes place with zero people and the final processed sugar is automatically bagged and stacked on the other side loading dock waiting for a truck to haul to a distribution point.

The Morse Code version is remembered by those of us old enough to have learned it but it is no long taught. Ham radio operators used to have to know Morse Code but that requirement was removed because the newer integrated systems can do it for them. Similar to the recently discussed hiker who ignored incoming calls from an UnknownIDCaller, which was actually from rescue workers attempting to find out if the hiker was OK. Until , a demonstration of the ability to send and receive Morse code at a minimum of five words per minute WPM was required to receive an amateur radio license for use in the United States from the Federal Communications Commission.

Demonstration of this ability was still required for the privilege to use the HF bands. Finally, effective on February 23, , the FCC eliminated the Morse code proficiency requirements from all amateur radio licenses.

When the case such as Jewel V NSA, the court said the defense could not even make an in camera review. Saying that a judge, not even defense, can come to finding belies the plaintiff. The sneaking thing that Kavanaugh has brought into the case is privileged in the context of the executive.

Say that a review is required due to the state secrets and co-joining executive privilege with state secrets. This is not good…. The implication is that the evidence is not exculpatory for any plaintiff and thus not damning on the government.

It is a very definition of evidence, saying that the government only holds affirming evidence. However, 16th and 17th century Spanish, Portuguese, and French sources should have been accessible to British who cared about sailors. One theory of how COVID got into the wild deer population was from infected hunters who may have traveled into the hinterlands. Infection is now wide spread in several states Iowa and Michigan but how the deer spread it among other deer is not completely certain.

Deer-to-Deer in captive populations spread it the same way as humans via aerosols but how deer in completely different geographic areas and different non-contiguous herds spread it in now under more study. There is a veterinary vaccine, created for the mink trade, now available for many susceptible animals. Zoos and other captive programs are vaccinating their herds 1. A potential area of concern is that deer are Ungulates.

Ungulates are hoofed animals. Single hooves are members of the Equidae, horse family. Odd toed members are rhinoceroses. Even toed members are cattle, pigs, giraffes, camels, sheep, deer, and hippopotamuses including Cetaceans such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

Deer often follow cattle herds because ranchers feed the cows when forage gets short. Deer know a free meal when they see one.

Not exactly. The Morse requirement was removed because it was needlessly exclusionary. Without Element 1 Morse Code Endorsement , a radio operator was excluded from entire bands, not just the portion s of a band allocated for CW Morse Code. Some of the Gen2 vaccines and treatments are starting to make their way into the distribution chain.

Supplies will be limited for a while. Gen3 medicines maybe available in Q1-Q2 There are lots more in the pipeline. The trick is staying alive long enough for the supply lines to get to your location. A recently published study on the demographics of COVID across 31 counties for the year , has many of same categories used in the Bank of Mom and Dad posts. The study is fairly detailed. I will leave it to those who are interested to look up the old posts which have detailed calculations and they can plug in the newer numbers.

Perhaps they will want to concentrate more on their own locality rather than global valuations. Life Expectancy has improved or remained stable across those countries that used Elimination Policies.

A summary of an exchange between Clive and a HIP poster 03 27 ; indicates the magnitude by which HIP modeling estimates were publicly understated in Posting from Clive with a succinct summary of the problem then which can be compared to the current outcomes:. I noted that the links were not relevant to the test. Most were Time related as I was killing time listening to Time Related music to perform the tests.

Tbe gist of the test: Find out how the server was dealing with the Daylight Saving Time fallback. I was watching my clock, which is NTP, just like this blog. It would make more sense, from a server performance perspective, to either sort on the comment-id or on the UTC timestamp. Which is more overhead performance wise.

So, with my two ambiguous comments, I found my result of the test. From a Database performance perspective, I would just sort on article-id and comment-id Primary Key , and not worry about some ambiguity that may appear during a 2 hour window only once per year.

Why create a Database performance impact all year long, when the problem is only visible in a 2 hour window once per year? It makes no sense. If Moderator can resurrect tbe 4 specific comment-ids that I noted, then it becomes clear if one mouses over the timestamp and notes the order of the comment-ids. If you step back from the broad policy areas you can see the overall shape and tilt of the policy pressures. The policy sphere as a whole removes self-autonomy, choice, and educational and career opportunities and economic and political influence.

The Atlantic currently has a handful of articles covering the issue of power and abuse of power and erosion of rational and fair and science and evidence led democracy. All the above should be viewed within this context. None of anything I have written in this post is a state secret. I found in research for my recent book on running elections around the world that the independence of these bodies has a positive effect on the way elections are run.

Electoral authority independence is shown to be a thorn in the side of autocrats wanting to dictate rules. However, in the political sphere, the last four decades have witnessed a sea-change. As unemployment rose and standards of living fell, nationalist politicians looked for an external target towards which public discontent could be redirected. Ortega has come a long way from the young left-wing revolutionary in the s who fought in the guerrilla war against the US-backed anti-communist dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza, whose family had been in power in Nicaragua for more than four decades.

After the Sandinistas led a popular revolution to topple the Somoza dictatorship on July 19 , Ortega became a member of the revolutionary junta. It embarked on a radical programme of social change, including land reforms and a successful literacy campaign. You think there are limits to what your employer can see you do online?

Some new Microsoft updates may make you think a little more about that. There may be some case law in the UK covering this. I suspect a tribunal. Both are mitigating against US policy aggression and Europe more recently is viewing the US as a not wholly trustworthy partner.

The US is certainly having difficulty attracting now top talent from Europe and Europeans are much more wary about investing the US or being left carrying investment vehicles hiding bad debt. None of this even considers legal restrictions due to certain types of data requiring privacy protection nor does it consider espionage.

I said he was bent. None of this is a one off that much I do know. That system is so large it requires nearly the entire output of a power plant located nearby. Reports at the time indicated it was one reason the NSA selected that site because there was hardly any demand drain for the power from that plant a neoliberal cost sink so the NSA could suck up all power they wanted.

Water is in rather short supply in many parts of the USA including the western section. Climate change has turned the area into a dryer and more fire prone region. Water is also pulled from the underground aquifers and deep wells by agriculture, gas and oil extraction fracking and urban cities use wells to provide for the water needs for growing their populations expansion requirements for neoliberal governments.

As water becomes scare, and a good deal of water is now polluted beyond the current capacity of urban treatments, some of the locals became aware that the nearby Google server farm was sucking up huge amounts of water to cool their systems.

From the water consumption it can be calculated how much capacity is behind the walls. The guardian link comes up with a fairly dull page information wise, however the photo at the top is curious….

Appart from the solar pannels, it appears to be of a near derelict building. In the top left corner of the image there are clearly not just broken windows but the attempt to put a temporary weather protection is aged and blown through.

The windows on the ground and first floor at the left do not match. The air con and cables above appear to be dangerous due to neglect. The windows on the right appear to be the old iron frame single glazed on ground and first floor, with the ground floor possibly damaged.

The concrete walkway is broken up with age and would be dangerous under foot. The whole building appears to be either on the very edge of a town or just a derelict pile in the middle of nowhere. My guess is nobody actual works there, or has done in quite some time, if at all since the logo got spray painted….

They have steadfastly refused to say why they chose Pfiz over other products made on more conventional vaccine lines. They have also steadfastly refused to disclose the price paid [with public money] claiming such disclosure could endanger our supply.

That has been very much the case for the Dallas Cowboys in , and it still is very much so. While memory can be deceptive, it is hard to recall a season when we dealt with so many players and situations that forced us to just observe and see what would happen. Nowhere was that more impactful than along the defensive line. Then DeMarcus Lawrence was injured after the first game of the season. Based on the issues the defense had last year, this would have led us to believe things would be pretty much a disaster on that side of the ball.

But something funny happened. First, under Dan Quinn, the defense became a turnover machine. With Trevon Diggs the biggest factor, they lead the league in interceptions and are second in overall takeaways. That has helped carry the Cowboys to the current record and a three-game lead in the NFC East with just four remaining to be played. The scouting staff thought he could be much more than just a traditional off-ball linebacker. Jerry Jones should put something extra in their Christmas stockings for that realization.

He has amassed 12 sacks, seventh in the league, while playing significantly fewer snaps rushing the passer as he also is still very important in that regular LB role.

Mike McCarthy seems to have enough old school in him that he is inclined to treat this like any regular season game and use all his resources to get the win. He specifically did not rule out keeping his own stars out of the game. It makes no sense to put the best of the Cowboys against backups who are trying to prove their own worth, which could mean taking some hard shots against whoever they face.

But, well, Philadelphia. There is no clear cut answer. At the moment, resting and protecting the starters looks like the most prudent course. There is no certainty that the staff or the players themselves are ready to be cautious. It is a chance to sweep the division, something the Cowboys have never done since realignment created the current form of the NFC East.

That is a rather foolish thing to prioritize, but we are talking people who are the ultimate competitors. Not trying their best to win this game may be smart. It also is unappetizing to people like that. We will find out what the course of action is, but it may not come until we see who actually suits up and takes the field.
