My wife has done some work with child exploitation organizations around this exact problem. Sadly, this is not a surprise at all. I’d venture that maybe 5% of the posts they report are removed, and the offending accounts are essentially never punished.

To make matters worse, given that pedophilia and child porn is now tied up with QAnon, some of her peers have started to have their accounts banned when they report this stuff, as apparently they’re being caught up in an anti-conspiracy filter.

Sigh...

> The guy boiled it before injection

No, he poured boiling water over the mushrooms - big difference. Plenty of time for boiling water to cool before killing all of the spores.

You can buy a new WRT today that supports FOSS firmware out of the box - https://www.linksys.com/us/wireless-routers/c/wrt-wireless-r...

And yet Linksys (and others) still sell their closed routers as well. One can only concluded that the Open Source support, while important for a niche group, is not enough for market dominance...

They're $249 almost everywhere, and the WRT54G was $199. Taking inflation into account, the 3200 is likely cheaper than the 54g was...

> Because as far as I know, Apple only allows NetworkExtension-based apps to be distributed via the App Store,

No, not so. Plenty of VPN apps based on network extensions are delivered outside the Mac App Store. In fact, most commercial VPNs are done this way. My company uses GlobalProtect for example, and I can install it any number of ways, and it’s been NE based for over a year now...

Really? How? What is one aspect of life that would change for anyone not in the space exploration industry?

Your R0 number is waaaay off. Like 2-3x higher than generally observed.

Some may, but that's a county/state decision.

You spend the 14 days in quarantine either way - land or air. And it's not 'government quarantine' for most people - it's just a hotel room, airbnb or wherever your approved plan says you're going to quarantine.

> Canada also instituted the negative test on arrival rule in the last week or so. The caterwauling from our airlines was just ridiculous.

The negative test requirement is only for air travel, and in spite of your assertion, there is (limited) non-trade travel allowed across the border. I'm driving across the border in a few weeks, and for some reason don't need a test that I'd need if I flew.

This is not news.

Aside from the spying, Huawei has zero regard for Intellectual Property law, as demonstrated by numerous cases of stolen code, designs, and even wholesale products.

Without timeouts, one of the endpoints would have to maintain dead sessions indefinitely. One cannot rely on protocols to close connections properly - stuff happens.

There is no such thing as a properly configured NAT implementation that does not have timeouts for idle sessions. Without those you’d run out of memory on your router and new sessions would be blocked.

FTA - way down toward the bottom:

>In a phone call with KREM, the owner of the company, Brett Fink, again said the websites would only be blocked for customers who asked.

>"We've had customers asked to be blocked by it. That is what the email was about, so no we are not blocking anybody, only the ones that have asked for it," Fink said.

So the entire premise of the article up to that point, as well as the article's subtitle are based on a non-event.

> If in the future there was some method to crack the TLS or the appropriate keys/certs were leaked, any recorded traffic could be retroactively cracked.

This is incomplete. TLS does allow for ciphers that enable Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) to prevent this. Those ciphers are not the most commonly used ones, but to describe TLS the way you do implies it's a flaw in TLS.

Which scientific research? That which only takes the virus related deaths into account, or that which balances other factors such as depression, suicide, substance and spousal abuse, and long term economic factors?

> Apple is abusing their market position (100%) to further their own advertisement platform.

Err, what advertising platform? Apple doesn't have an ad platform. Apple doesn't sell data to ad platforms. Apple doesn't do any of the things you're regurgitating here...

Then disable the fallback... It's a very obvious and simple setting.
