On the topic of fine-tuning I found this book from 2011 and subsequent debate quite thought-provoking:

The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning: Why the Universe Is Not Designed for Us (by Victor J. Stenger)

https://www.amazon.com/Fallacy-Fine-Tuning-Why-Universe-Desi...

The Fine-Tuning of the Universe for Intelligent Life ... This paper can be viewed as a critique of Stenger's book, or read independently.

If you clear your Google history

Also what if you are logged into Google, but your Google search history was always switched off?

What if you did the search from Brave or Safari, where you were not logged into Google?

Relevant quote from the article:

In Wisconsin, the government was hopeful Google could also provide “CookieIDs” belonging to any users who made the searches. These CookieIDs “are identifiers that are used to group together all searches conducted from a given machine, for a certain time period. Such information allows investigators to ascertain, even when the user is not logged into a Google account, whether the same individual may have conducted multiple pertinent searches,” the government wrote.

According to my understanding: archive.today/archive.is are the main domains the service is known under, others are mirrors selected depending on country you are located in (because of domain bans in some countries).

Site owner said once archive.today is the domain to use when linking because it will automatically redirect to the correct one.

Here's his quote on instagram archiving problems:

"There is no Instagram content which don’t need to login.

If you can access the page without login, it is sort of “promo preview“, after few pages accessed this way, they add your IP into “promo is over“ list and will redirect to /login on every future request.

I just have not enough fresh IPs to abuse this mechanism."

The CNSA/CMS official account on Weibo confirms that #LongMarch5 CZ5B booster has reentered at 02:24 UTC, May 9. The location of the reentry is 72.47°E, 2.65°N.

@18SPCS confirms that CZ-5B (#LongMarch5B) (48275 / 2021-035B) reentered atmosphere 9 May at 0214Z and fell into the Indian ocean north of the Maldives at lat 22.2, long 50.0.

Yes, we know that the TIP coords (lat 22.2, long 50.0) plot in Saudi Arabia. That was the last place that the @18SPCS computer system recorded it. Operators confirm that the rocket actually went into the Indian Ocean north of the Maldives.

PeerTube v3 6 years ago

"A minimalist and efficient peer-to-peer live stream

The great feature of this v3 is live streaming, and we are proud to say that it works very well !

...

The main points to remember :

The lag (between video maker and audience) varies between 30 seconds and 1mn, as expected ;

Depending on the power of the server and its load (number of simultaneous live shows, transcoding, etc.), PeerTube can provide hundreds of simultaneous views (but we’re not sure that it will scale to thousands… at least not yet !) ;

Administration options are included for people hosting the instance ;

The features are minimalist by design, and we have documented our recommendations for creating a live ;

The live can be done with most video streaming tool (we recommend the free-libre software OBS), with two options :

An « short-lived » live, with a unique identifier, will offer the possibility to save the video and display a replay on the same link ;

A « permanent » live stream, which will work more like a Twitch channel, but without the replay option."

CulturalHusbandry @APhilosophae

The following information is provided via an anonymous data scientist and another anonymous individual who wrote a script to scrape the national ballot counting time series data of off the @nytimes website.

This is based on their proprietary "Edison" data source which would ordinarily be impossible to access for people outside the press.

https://twitter.com/APhilosophae/status/1325592112428163072

Why should we trust these anonymous people (including twitter thread OP)? They could just tamper with the data and we would have no way to know that.

Take into account the pinned thread by @APhilosophae too, they are not impartial at all:
