The crush to the cable could be a number of things but without knowing the terrain, and knowing these cables just lie on the sea floor, it could be caused by the cable sitting on some jagged rock and has been pulled tight elsewhere (perhaps by fisherman dredging the seabed) resulting in the cable being forced onto the jagged rock and it being crushed onto the rock.

Likewise, but unlikely, some heavy object from above has some how landed on the cable, perhaps even a submarine of sorts resting on the seabed.

Again knowledge of the terrain of the sea floor where the cable crush took place is key into gaining some idea of what might have happened, but I think its the first scenario, a fisherman dredging the sea floor elsewhere has caught and pulled the cable tight and the cable crush is the damage from it resting on rocks where its snagged and crushed itself from the tautness.

Rock climbers and abseilers using ropes will see this with their ropes.

Lets not forget that the British Govt banned Russia Today from broadcasting in the UK a few years back. Such is their planning and manipulation of events on the global stage!

Notice a pattern with the British Govt? They get their "independent" depts and businesses to do their dirty work for deniability!

Someone who worked for the British Military told me back in the early 00's the US military (but could be any part of the US govt) had the ability to bowl up outside a building and "tune" into any of the pc they could detect. It didnt matter what floor of an office block they were on, how far away from a window they were, they had a special suitcase for remote accessing any and all pc's they wanted.

Dont know how true it was or is, but I've seen some of these devices now advertised online. I'd provide a link if only Google & Bing would deliver the results, and were also psychologically engaged in warfare on the population.

the fact that the popups often don't load until all the page views are fetched (I'm assuming because of some rate limiting on Wikipedia's side),

Its a nice idea, but the Wiki backend might be the reason why they abandoned their own geolocating website efforts, which might be what you are now experiencing.

I think it would be nice for Wiki, to have an option which includes geolocated wiki articles in the surrounding area, just like they have the "see also" at the bottom of the page sometimes.

Problem with this though, is this feature might also not exist to prevent article stuffing in tourist areas, or area's where realtors/estate agents might be trying to sell expensive property.

Nice effort and article.

I wouldnt trust my life with doctors, they are no better than religious academics.

The drug companies know more than them!

So it probably also affects Android phones and SBC like RaspberryPi's?

The crux is understanding what data access patterns you will have and what indexes / data structures accelerate that access pattern

We have a winner. But when looking at SQL tables/Views/Stored Procedures, the data is also stored in order in memory, in effect have a master database and files on disk, with sorted databases and files in memory for faster access.

I've witnessed and experienced Police criminality so dont lecture me!

Utopia's dont exist, the state like religion or law like medicine is a utopia.

I wasnt bought up to ask for help. It was beaten in to me by parents and teachers, to work things out myself, today that causes me significant cognitive dissonance which is legal torture and a way to make people self destruct.

Besides why should other people know how I'm being done over?

Some people dont want to validate their existence or the bad laws that also exist on the statute books.

Isnt this Findom/PayPig thing just a variation of outing GoldDiggers as seen in the link below? The fact the FinDom's are now turning to AI would suggest a level of awareness and subtle education is taking place, namely the ability to use such technology. Its a bit like when people claim to be dyslexic and thus cant read or write, but they text message and DM people on social media platforms no problem at all!

Of course, the AI Paypig gives the Central Banks a platform that doesnt need Ex Fed Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankes helicopter drops and doesnt challenge their authority when people question their methods.

" We know sun-exposed skin ages versus skin protected by clothing, which doesn't show age nearly as much."

Is this why vampires seemed to live longer?

So whilst this reinforces the benefits of managing immune system response to reduce inflammation, would an anti-inflammatory diet, vegetables, acetic acid, zinc, magnesium, manganese, omega3's, leucine, lysine, histidine etc etc also have a similar effect, once its been consumed for long enough, whilst being mindful of the fact that things like the bones take a total of 10years to fully remodel?

As a cosmetic product it would certainly have its uses in much the same way wallpaper can cover up problem walls in a property and give some smart phone filters a run for their money as well.

He's just telling his story. He knows he fucked up. But he also knows the system is fucked.

Here in the UK we have something called Joint Enterprise [1] which is controversial for a numnber of reasons, I've read this chaps blog, I can relate to his circumstances in a number of ways having grown up with the rave culture in the 90's, I've seen many people turn a blind eye and escape prosecution, mainly because its too hard to prosecute, demonstrating the laziness of the police as evidence gathers and the judicary.

What annoys me is how these so called law abiding people manage to remain in their job. People claim to live in a democracy, none more so that many in the US, and yet AFAIK noone gets taught law as a mandatory subject when growing up. If you are not taught something how can the public even debate it? Is this the legal system applying a form of Darwinism on the population in a dictatorial fashion? Is this a form of intellectual torture being applied on some who want to enjoy themselves in non-alcoholic ways?

If I had the money I'd get a Judicial Review to find the reasons why judges dont want people to be taught the law as a mandatory subject for a number of reasons, and for adults to be kept up to date with legal changes in a TLDR fashion, that doesnt rely on the opinion of the state broadcaster and other news outlets. Some people are too busy to watch/read the news, which is the only en-masse way to keep up to date currently, and there is also the issue of why is legal conformity pushed on people if they are doing no harm? Just what exactly is a democracy and do you really have a say?

If Roe v. Wade (1973) can mandate a change across a country like the US, are these judges who shy away from making a countrywide decision to keep people abreast of legal changes, not only undermining the idea of democracy, but also just keeping themselves in a stealth sado masochistic schadenfruede-like position of authority with accompanying lucrative income?

Has any scientific study measured the dopamine receptors of judges or serotonin receptors or testostorone levels when they pass a judgement? Has the scientific community shown they derive pleasure from controlling other peoples lives in non scientific ways, because I see the reoffending rate is quite high, and the system is clearly not fit for purpose.

To the original poster, just remember there are some people who agree with your actions, enjoy the mental mind games of programming, it can keep you occupied even when not in front of the computer. :)

A gearbox is complex, the gears are not, the gears are complex, the teeth are not. Break things down into smaller chucks.

I wonder how that C$119M per Km compares to other country's. Anyone know?

Resource Burn. Meta can throw more money at any court case, so if the judge is bent, which happens, it can become a long drawn out process. Personally though, despite having the trademark for a trademark with the word "threads", note lowercase, its also got a logo filed which might complicate the situation. https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/1/UK00...

Plus they only have a few catagories selected from Class 9. https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/History/1/UK00...

Personally I would have filed the logo and word seperately to avoid any confusion, otherwise situations like this court case could present themselves, but maybe that is/was the intention when it was filed.

Thanks, this appears to be useful for end of life as well.

Problem is GP's really dont like being challenged in my experience, and its a case of having to write papers to challenge their theories with more recent (< 30yrs) scientific discoveries and studies. In other words, I'd have to throw more recent expert stuff back at them, which is an exercise I dont have time for, but when banged up the movements are seriously curtailed, and access to the internet is seriously restricted to non existent, making it impossible to fight back once inside. Its a Kobayashi Maru in Star Trek terms!

Their medicines are shrouded in secrecy in the main, which also makes their judgements harder to fight.

When inside you dont even get a patient information leaflet for the meds they "prescribe", its effing dictatorial, Josef Mengele would be proud of the british state today!

Dont get me started on the patronisation by staff either!

British Mental health hospitals can be like that. Locked up without any jury trial which can be 24/7 solitary with hourly suicide watch checks to keep you awake and sleep deprived, drugs forcible introduced into your system that fuck your mind and health up.

If you dont becomes the NHS's compliant puppet physically and mentally aka their idea of a typical model citizen, you never get let out.

Its beyond inhumane and healthy, but humans have had thousands of years domesticating different animals, breeding traits in and out, which can be and have been applied to humans.

The state, ie police and NHS can totally bypass the legal system and incarcerate people, in effect dissappearing them, unless the legal system allows this?!?

I make sure they stop before stepping out in front of them. Here in the UK we have zebra black and white crossings, and the rule is (as I've been told) cars dont have to stop until your foot is on the crossing, so I stand by the crossing with one foot on the crossing, one foot on the pavement until they stop.

Anyway even crossing on these will see cars driving over them and I've been hit by cars on these crossings. I've been in cars where the driver has ignored the red traffic light at a pedestrian crossing, in fact the same one on the way to watch a film at a cinema and the same one on the way back.

The drivers problem was inexperience, and too interested in what the other passengers were saying, they wanted to join in the conversation and not pay attention to the road, and there are a lot of people whose attention dangerously fails when driving when they have passengers, but its not illegal, but using a hands free mobile phone is. Legislators and the Police are hypocrits!

That driver who ran two red lights at a pedestrian crossing got away with it because they were son of a British Police officer, Detective iirc, even though the pedestrian had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit.

The OS developers could say that about the app developers.

But I havent seen a fully blown app running a business written by chatgpt.

To me, chatgpt is still a next generation wizard, like using a wizard from Lotus Approach.

Military childhood, being moved around from pillar to post, then pretty much a university life after that.

Cant say I totally agree with his observation, because there was not one mention of the word trust. Sure it could be implied by virtue of discussing the topic of friends, but its just an observation and categorisation, which is simplistic at best.

Trust is something that happens over time, much like in a relationship, and with any sort of friendship, there needs to be trust. I can only assume from his military childhood and university movements, that his friendships perhaps dont have the depth of trust others seek or have. The problem with being too trusting and thus naive, is you become exploited whilst people masquarade as friends, and only once they have what they want from you, you see that friendship dissipate into nothing.

Have you done anything with this on Qemu? https://github.com/danzatt/QEMU-s5l89xx-port/blob/master/hw/...

This made the real issue clear: iOS 4 ships with an outdated set of root SSL certificates,

Alot of old software installations are in this situation, you cant install SBS2000 or SBS2003 Premium without turning back the clock on the server to 2001 and 2004 respectively.

For any closed source, I've found Ghidra[1] to be quite easy to use and understandable.

And if you dont have a heatsink and fan of sorts just use alternativing fingers on the cpu, they can still absorb about 10-15 DegC off the cpu temp and thats overclocking a 3b in the 1.35Ghz range. Surprisingly robust. Sadly cant get it to idle below .6Ghz yet, that needs more work.

But it makes wonder how much more phone manufacturers could squeeze out of their phones, although Apple are definately overclocking the 15.

This method requires a lot of plant knowledge to make it work, and is not suited to the current brute force method of farm machinery which is the main method of farming.

It would be better suited to little robots doing the work, but in the mean time, the only competitor is more human hands on the fields which some people see as a backwards step.

including alcohol and red meat.

When referring to red meat, shouldnt that nitrates or nitrites?

What I heard from farmers is that there is no know alternative that's safer.

Well actually there are alternatives, but then that would be more resource intensive, unlike the current lazy method of mono crop farming that capitalism does not reward.

So is Capitalism your enemy?

Some points to note:

The British like to make out that Policing is by consent, and so politicians like Theresa May and others make a big play on not having armed police officers patrolling in public. Yet any trip to the airport and other transport hubs like train stations will see them on display, patrolling. In London you will see them driving around, they are never far from an incident.

They use hollowpoints which dont egress the body, but rather cause more internal damage which is designed to stop and kill. When these people are around they are going to kill people and there is no judge or jury on the "intelligence" that warranted their appearance on the streets as Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes found out.

I've been subjected to a variety of criminal actions at the hands of the police, and there is no recourse in this country for that criminality, you will just get hounded and attacked by members of the public and others sympathetic to the Police.

So this action, is going to cause the friends and family of Chris Kaba more aggrevation. It also looks like the Police officer wont be convicted of murder, but this is a stealth reverse psychology exercise designed to make changes to armed Policing in the UK and quite like get them a pay rise because the Police are not allowed to take industrial action and strike, but this is a strike.

Some of the police are ex-military, and there is culture of secrecy for these public servants, after all some of the military have to go somewhere, once they have had enough of being barked at.

Personally I think all public servants should be publicly known and how much money they get, military, police, doctors and nurses, teachers, if you are taking tax payers money then you should be known, people on benefits, charities, quango's, everyone, zero privacy for taking money out of the "public" purse.

So lets see how the public handle this anguish and anxiety of not having armed police on the streets of London, are we going to have a repeat of the Mark Duggan London riots or something else?

Just how far will people go to get some more money?

But the European Chemicals Agency last year said scientific evidence did not justify classifying glyphosate as a carcinogen

So there you go, still ignoring the woefully underpaid science.

When the local council here in the UK spray it around the pavements to keep the weeds down, the stuff just stinks for days and weeks on end, I dont know how people can put up with it.

The US courts, if the media are to be believed, have ruled its contributed to cancer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45155788

Whats also worth noting, is this chemical has been sold off, and its currently owned by the European company, so are economic interests overruling the health of the EU voters?

It would seem like that.

I worked with a gentleman who worked with Asher. I

Were they British or American?

The best advice I got from someone who knew Hank was, even been on his boat down at Ft Lauderdale, was if you dont want to get hacked, dont put your computer online. Even that is virtually impossible now, one has to become an expert in everything.

There is alot of data sharing going on, not just official businesses like this, but media & news outlets. Journalists have the law on their side as well!

I couldnt tie anything up with the server logs, no refers or matching IP address landing on the webpage, thats why I pulled the plug and stopped spending money on it.

However someone I know professionally, another coder, did spot I was using their bsuiness name in my adwords campaign so they did have a go at me telling me to stop using their business name in my adwords program.

Thats the problem in this business, its hard to know who to trust.

You are aware of this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_farm#Advertising_provide...

When I was a lad and had to study physics, we got told thats because the microwaves are at the resonant frequency of water molecules (2.4Ghz iirc), and they cause these water molecules to oscillate causing friction which generates heat, and thus the microwave can cook food.

So this is why my question about the Russian body suits using microwaves to heat occupants in the polar regions is not a silly question.
