The real issue is that the power situation in LEO is still actually terrible! Your solar is a little more performant, but you're plunged into hard shade every 45 minutes.

I think calling solar a little more performant is underselling it. Once you have LEO getting to a better orbit costs relatively little. Getting from LEO to the moon is only like 30% more than getting from ground to LEO.

You literally just need several oracles which sign hashes at the time they receive them and record that fact.

As a community service you need them to have enough scale that no individual hash or source can be tampered with without being likely to become known as unreliable to everyone else as well ala certificate transparency records.

(You could probably just bootstrap let's encrypt for this - issuing a certificate you use to sign a bunch of data would stamp several minimums on the order anything could have happened).


Which still sounds like your employer was simply incompetent because why was any type of perceptual hashing scheme even involved?

Signing digital data with hardware secure tokens is a commodity capability in the iPhone many of HNs users are reading this site with.


> your employer was simply incompetent

You’re probably right. This is easy, basic stuff that any recent college grad can do with their eyes closed.



This was quite a while, before that.

Sure but conceptually no one should've been able to crack any hashing scheme anyone half-way decent at their job could come up. SHA256 is the default and it's unbroken. Even SHA1 has scant few known collisions. So like...what the heck were they hashing and how that anyone was able to crack it?

Maybe its more like the hash was a well known secure hash but someone managed to extract the salt/private key/signing certificate from the camera?

While generally true, it's worth remembering that thin shirts can have an SPF as low as 50 or so, which isn't much.

SPF is logarithmic so high numbers can be misleading. The FDA has recently banned labeling above SPF 60 for this reason. Doctors usually recommend 30

It means only 2% of the harmful rays (UVA) are getting through the shirt or alternatively the skin under the shirt can spend 50 times as long in the sun as it could without any protection.

A typical tshirt is closer to SPF 7, depending on color and weight.

Just from basic logic this has to be false. Maybe there are some translucent t-shirts that are SPF 7 but my skin always reacts much more to sun exposed parts that have SPF applied than it ever did under t-shirt. And no i use high quality SPF50 and reapply.

Can you give an example of an extermination program which was thwarted by a lack of accurate census data?

"The Nazis used a data source to implement an extermination program" is not a statement which proves that your problem was the existence of a data source.


The claim was not that the census is instrumental to e.g. ethnic cleansing, simply that the (micro?)data can be used that way.

In the sense that you can claim two things are synergies by just saying they are, sure.

Whereas in reality automotive companies do not organically have rocketry divisions.


From your own link:

During her testimony in front of the Senate Foreign Relations committee about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland answers a question from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about whether or not Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons. She replies, "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned...Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of." She then refutes allegations from Russia that Ukrainians are plotting to use biological weapons, and says that if such an attack happens in Ukraine, "there is no doubt in my mind" it would be caused by Russian forces. --- And yes I also watched the video and it's accurate.


I really just want someone to make a decent point and click design library. I don't want to steward an amateur coder I just want to draw exactly what I want out of toolkit of good enough components.

Give me VB6 or whatever for the web.


Not quite true: you're also limited by the mechanical strength of your windings and core (this is the upper limit on superconducting magnets like at CERN and in fusion plants).

And if you also ignore iron saturation.

Conversely you're already not dealing with that, so the letter and spirit of the law are both being ignored and the American voter doesn't care.

> the American voter doesn't care.

The American voter doesn't know because copyright misuse and malfeasance is on a long list of public-impacting topics that news orgs have rigorously ignored for generations.
