Strava Fitness App Can Reveal Military Sites, Analysts Say

quote:

In Afghanistan, for instance, two of the largest coalition bases in the country — Bagram Airfield, north of Kabul; and Kandahar Airfield, in southern Afghanistan — can easily be picked out. The same is true for smaller bases around the country whose existence has long been public.

But there also appear to be other airstrips and base-like shapes in places where neither the American-led military forces nor the Central Intelligence Agency are known to have personnel stations.

this morning on my way in to work I saw and heard one cawing endlessly in the middle of the freeway off ramp and noticed both of its legs had been crushed along with some of his left wing. he couldn’t move.

I kept going because I had to get in to work and press some buttons.

The crow lies there, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its wings, trying to turn itself over, but it cannot do so without your help. You are not helping. Why?

Rollback attacks are often referred to as 51-percent attacks, because, in theory, they require an attacker to control a majority of the CPU power generating a blockchain. Such an arrangement violates a core requirement of any blockchain-based currency: it allows a single entity to write the contents of its universal, shared transaction history.

I sort of liked the Netflix TV series even though it was sort of train wreck especially near the end.

Also had to stand up and applaud the James Purefoy gets nude scene.

The show was overall pretty good except they made Quell a lame hippie instead of a Maoist

Wrt the ending rei's pseudo-incestuous motivation was dumb but it was kinda cool to see how wealth over time drives you nuts

in this case, it's even dumber

the criminal faces are frowning and look unhappy, while the non-criminal faces look mildly pleased and have a slight smile. their algorithm picked up on that, but since it doesn't know about facial expressions, it assumed it was a fundamental difference in facial structure
