Well if that were to happen, that would be the end of a lot of defense business that the US does with many countries around the world.

I mean it has already happened. The F-35 relies on very thick (10cm+) layer of radar absorbing structures with special internal geometries (don't wanna go into detail regarding this).

Unfortunately if the precise construction of said structures is known, it becomes vulnerable to specially crafted radar pulses which make it generate strong returns.

So it's paramount that the exact layout be kept secret (and likely there's some variation between manufacturing batches, but this is just conjecture).

Needless to say, the US very likely has this info on every jet it sold, and a sufficiently motivated and sophisticated adversary can likely figure this out if the plane spends a long enough time in front of their radars.

That's why the US has been extremely careful about where and how the F-35 gets to fly.


Good reminder to also set up something that does this automatically for you:

I generally avoid extensions that can read all sites (even if technically necessary), so use the suggestion found here [1] instead.

A few bookmarklets:

javascript:(function(){if (location.host.endsWith('x.com')) location.host='xcancel.com';})()

javascript:(function(){if (location.host.endsWith('youtube.com')) location.host='inv.nadeko.net';})()

javascript:(function(){if (location.hostname.endsWith('instagram.com')) {location.replace('https://imginn.com' + location.pathname);}})()

Wow, where did these come from. these are great alternatives, especially the youtube. I like using the duck player but that's only in that browser.

For example duck://player/fqtK3s7PE_k where the video id in youtube url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqtK3s7PE_k

But it doesn't have that overview page like inv.nadeko.net does


Getting lots of these CI errors when installing terraform providers: 503 Service Unavailable returned from github.com

Downdetector shows Github is having issues as well: https://downdetector.com/status/github/


If they have a working driver since 2 years ago, couldn't they just release it to the community? I imagine most gamers would typically be capable/ok with that.


I wonder what percentage of Coinbase's (but also any other company storing PII data) support is done by AI at this point, and whether they could focus on and invest much more heavily to make that as close as possible to 100%.


Cosidering AI's habit of refusing to do something and then you give it some magic words and it does that thing ... that sounds like a gift to hackers.

For me it's the Marketplace. Left FB many years ago only to come back to keep an eye out for used Lego for the kiddos. At least in my region, and for my purposes, Marketplace is miles better than any other competing sites/apps.


This would explain why mine's been mostly fine since I moved to a place with an underground garage. Now I park 4 floors underground and the battery has only died once in the last two years.


I am 39 and I have had issues with plaque/tartar build up on my bottom front teeth my whole life. Last year my new-ish hygienist gave me a toothbrush and asked me to show her how I brushed the teeth. She saw I was holding the wrong angle and corrected me. The result - night and day difference. ZERO plaque in the last year.


It seems like it should be self explanatory why the FBI would ever do such a thing... (and seemingly on a regular basis) but I don't get it. Could someone please ELI5?
