The shadow sells it. Wonder if they sent up the two seater to get some close-ups. I seem to recall the U-2 is basically on a stall/overspeed knife-edge up there which probably means the pilot is pretty busy when flying manually.Arcella posted:Set to footage from Africa, Addio! A fascinating and terribly racist movie. Oh man, I saw that a few years ago and that about sums it up. Are there any good non-racost docs on that period? IMO the value of that film is in getting some of the footage they did on the record and it's a shame it's packaged so grossly.

A fun easy to consume popular history on the Stanleyville Crisis is 'Save the Hostages!' A contemporary piece published in paperback by Readers Digest, largely detailing broadstrokes. Mad Mike makes an appearance, as do the Belgians, and CIA air assets. It also has some fair coverage on some of the culture of the Simba/Banta fighters. It suffers from some period racism, but it is largely lacking the expected grossness.

I love that they take off with wheel-stilts that just fall away and get picked up on the side of the runway, and then land by touching down on a car.

While it is kind of funny that people got MAD about free U2 on their phones, it was also not great to have your music/voice synonymous with "my Apple product just hosed up" since it would default to the U2 album when it really didn't know what you wanted it to resume.

Defenestrategy posted:So what I'm getting is that my bank account is far less secure than AT&T internet. Banks in general tend to be woefully insecure online; stories abound of websites that have password requirements with fun features such as - 8 to 16 characters (yes, upper bound) - no funny symbols like !, @, and especially % - helpful "security questions" based on easily looked up things on the other hand, you end up with websites like my local utility, southwest gas, where they decided that pasting into the password form is not allowed. every time i try to log in i have to open chrome's dev tools to fix it so i can paste in from my password manager.  the worst thing is that AI/ML poo poo is everywhere and increasingly being used in places it really, really should not be, as an alternative to just paying people.

CommieGIR posted:Its also a good indicator their password system isn't doing proper hashing, which isn't great. It's this, if there's any restrictions on passwords besides "must be this long, minimum", such as maximum length or excluded characters, that means your passwords are being stored in a non secure manner. Properly stored password data is hashed and salted so that you can't discover the original password via stealing the password file. (Salting is particularly important to securing password data since it adds extra data to a password entry to try to make it harder to figure out a valid password from stolen data) orange juche fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Feb 23, 2023 |
