And “only so fast” can be north of 30 knots. The vessel could today be 1000km in any direction from where it was when you found it yesterday.

The number of adversaries who can track a vessel at sea live via satellite is much smaller than the number who can scrape Strava.

Yes and furthermore what percentage of those who can scrape Strava can actually take action based on the information so obtained? Probably close to 0% would be my guess.

Ships often have welfare networks, basically vanilla internet access for people to use to keep in touch with their families etc while deployed.

It’s a better tradeoff than maintaining two entirely separate vehicles, which is what I do because no suitable EV for all my needs exists yet.

Iran has been “two weeks away” from a nuclear capability for nearly 40 years, and the status quo was the best possible outcome for the US.

The US getting dragged into Israel’s war does not serve anyone’s interests other than Israel’s.


A major problem facing that nation is that not many people are particularly interested in maintaining a democracy. They just want to see the “other team” lose.

Last I heard, the CO+I org has some pretty serious cultural problems that contribute to this, and which will not be easily solved.

In this case, it’s just yet another design-level vulnerability in Microsoft cloud’s services. There isn’t much room for nuance.

The UK, like Australia and many of its other offshoots has always had a bit of a totalitarian streak.

Oddly that's Zuck doing that. And weirdly, the law would only apply to app stores. I think that's a separate movement from what the UK is doing though. That US law is designed to hamstring Meta's competition not restrict political speech but it can be abused the same way I think.

There is no "US law" there are 45+ pending or passed pieces of state legislation, along with the federal Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) that's yet to be passed.

The PACs that push the one specific law you're talking about also push laws in other states, and federally, that are very, very different and draconian.


The Debian apt repository is a "covered app store" under the law, as is any place that makes software available for download.

> even if their citizenry can access it; it's on them to block that access if they don't like it

Not even China and North Korea whine about or send fake “fines” to offshore entities. They just block their sites and move on with life.

On the contrary, both of those are very active in going after people who operate websites they don't like from overseas, and/or their family members (who are often easier to get at). They just don't publish legal notices around it.


[sigh] and this is the first (mandated) step in that process. The UK don’t expect 4chan to pay the fine, which means, once the period to pay has expired, they’ll just be blocked instead.

They could skip that step entirely if the relevant legislation was people with even a general grasp of geography and how the Internet works.

Yes but this is British legislation so that Venn diagram is two non-overlapping circles.
