Jamaican in Jamaica - and proud of it.

And I'm sorry - who is threatening Israel again?

- Iran so much as tests a proper implosion-type, they get nuked.

- Syria is a mess, and was never capable of touching Israel (see Bekaa Valley). Same with Iraq.

- Egypt has been Camp Davided

- The Gulf Monarchies are Israel allies and customers, Jordan included.

Yeah. Tough neighbourhood. No wonder they have to be extra sadistic to the Palestinians.

Do you have a source? I only recall the Le Monde [0] article. And was the nature of the breach? You have something uploading to Shanghai for 5 years - and nobody noticed?

Saying that your country has the best human rights record in the Middle East is like saying your country is the richest in Africa. Just because it is true doesn't mean it is good.

I have no idea why I typed ANC instead of AU. But I'm not going to lie, it [0] does read a lot like Western Propaganda. The Yellow Peril trope, the Magical China-Tech (the Supermicro Magic Chips), the early morning uploads to Shanghai (those Chinese are playing the long game!)etc.

Generally, trusting Western media on Africa reporting is never a good idea. But at the end of the day, this, and Snowden's revelations show - if you don't make it, then you don't own it.

I meant a firmware or OS vulnerability. It was claimed that the hack (whatever it was) was send info to China in the middle of the night.

One of the things I have never seen, is an original source that details the type of attack that was done on the African National Congress HQ in Ethiopia. The only original source I have ever seen is a short piece from (of course) Le Monde. I have never seen a CVE, much less writeup of the attack.

We hear that the device was sending uploads to China in the middle of the night. But what type of uploads? And was it firmware based, or OS based? That whole Hussein(-Addis affair just seems very suspect to me.

Is there are a source, that you know of, with the types of problems actually encountered in industry? Paid or open. Paper or digital.

It is in the Bob Dylan article itself.

Have you looked at languages like J or APL?

Funnily enough, haversines and the lot can be found in Dover's Trigonometry Refresher. Had.to do some revision myself for back-to-school.

O.G. Artillery measurement and spherical navigation can be revised in that book, while spherical trig. can be practiced in the 1954 edition Schaum's Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. Good stuff.

Sadly, the facts don't seem to have changed that much.

Please. We have known why this is the case (in the West) for decades.

Seriously, much, much thanks. My training is bodyweight exclusively (Convict Conditioning), so, I have relatively weak wrists and forearms.I have hit a pullup plateau (weights are expensive around my parts, and the gym is COVID-closed.), so these tips should be a real help.

If you don't mind could you tell me what exercises exercises you use to build hand strength, or even just post a link?
