a network of tunnels and sensors is easier to defend than a open space exposed position where drones can see you from miles away, I guess that makes tunnels better for defense

Given that we have bunker busters that will travel beyond the horizon at hypersonic speeds and bust 200 feet of reinforced concrete...

I don't think any fixed installation is particularly easy to defend?

Also, I'll grant that a drone can see you from miles away, but don't you think any one of a large and growing number of satellites can spot your massive earthworks from tens and hundreds of miles away for the months or years it takes you to construct?


Given that we have nuclear weapons why bother making anything?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been going the other way around entirely.

It's attackers that can't defend against anything.


Makes me think the noble houses of Westeros should have dug tunnels to foil the Targaryen dragon advantage.

they did - that's why dorne was never conquered

Little known fact, dragonglass is an excellent semiconductor

sounds great, may you please share some benchmarks/experiments?

We did run internal benchmarks and experiments, but we focused on measuring our own performance rather than doing side-by-side comparisons with other tools. The goal was to validate stability, speed, and resource usage in real scenarios, not to create a public comparison that could be misleading or depend on many external factors. We’re planning to share our methodology and raw numbers so people can evaluate the results themselves and run their own comparisons if they want.

I know some countries that emit a "certificate of no judicial history", even when the citizen has so, if they ended the jail time

I think this is wrong, it should be reported entirely at least for 5 years after the fact happened


The jail time is the entire punishment. To allow punishment to continue afterward is to invite recidivism.

Jail time is not always the entire punishment, especially on the enlightened continent, where jail time is used sparingly. Keeping the conviction on record is a thing, because consecutive convictions often carry come with higher punishment. So depending on a crime cathegory, there is X years after which the record no longer counts, but it's not 0.

Push-to-Sync. We observed 8 apps employ a push-to-sync strat- egy to prevent privacy leakage to Google via FCM. In this mitigation strategy, apps send an empty (or almost empty) push notification to FCM. Some apps, such as Signal, send a push notification with no data (aside from the fields that Google sets; see Figure 4). Other apps may send an identifier (including, in some cases, a phone num- ber). This push notification tells the app to query the app server for data, the data is retrieved securely by the app, and then a push notification is populated on the client side with the unencrypted data. In these cases, the only metadata that FCM receives is that the user received some message or messages, and when that push noti- fication was issued. Achieving this requires sending an additional network request to the app server to fetch the data and keeping track of identifiers used to correlate the push notification received on the user device with the message on the app server.


Is that not still incredibly vulnerable to timing attacks?


Maybe I’m mis-interpreting what you mean, but without a notification when a message is sent, what would you correlate a message-received notification with?


saw an xpeng playing music outside the car, not inside, for beach parties

and, this is not a joke, truly: the seat gave me a massage.


just got an etron because my partner wanted a xpeng, guy is super happy in that xpeng and I gotta say, he's right


Etron is Audi?


great analysis


I was reading about Porsche this week on reddit. lots of complaints about Taycans.

always have been a fan of Porsche.

hope they find the way forward


feel the same, but I moved up. create full products and profit from them. you have a great taste if you know what's behind


it must be done
