Thanks! I appreciate the archive link, although I think it’s OP’s job to provide it.

Hell yeah! Great to hear that

That can only happen if we stop giving a shit about impact factors (and remove it from legal hiring requierements in some countries) and when big name PIs stop giving excuses like ‘I want my research to be read’ as if that wouldn’t happen in the journals that are more appropriate for the topic they publish in.

csv is a pretty good data sharing format, but not very well suited for spreadsheets. Just because you can shove anything you want in there doesn’t mean you should.

Ah, I probably mixed up F-14s and F-15s

Probably just a mistake, especially likely since Iran also had (or used to have?) F-15s of their own. Still really bad communications wise.

I guess their own slop isn’t good enough as a communication platform

Wanted to test PieFed, mashed the keyboard for a bit. Turns out, PieFed is quite nice, maybe I should make another account with a proper username

Add more requirements to the contract that make these kinds of practices impossible/harder to pull off

So for a change a company is cleaning up after itself? That’s nice! (Not sure what’s up with the endless reminders that it’s not sharks)

Absolutely. Typically, the bigger the branding the more you pay for that and the less bang for buck you get. In second hand shopping I do often look at the brands though, because branded things are often better than no name items, but at the same price in that market (e.g. in kilo sales)

You mean wear something generic, unidentifiable and add some body armor?

Yep, that’s the direction I was thinking. The whole point of these cameras is to track people, including you, meaning that they can track everyone in the area before and after a camera is destroyed. It seems to me that the logical time to destroy a camera is when few other people are arround to stop/witness someone destroying a camera, but that also means there are few people to track and therefore it’s easier to single out whoever did it.

How would you take such a camera down without being spotted and tracked? Do they not look in all directions?

Not asking for all the technical details on how to take one down, just curious how so many can be taken down with so few arrests after. I guess it’s a matter of good disguises?

Apparently the threats are still sufficiently strong that the author dares not mention the company’s name :/

It’s not exactly a short article, but they don’t even mention key things such as who the politician is (nor context about the guy) whose interview wasn’t allowed to be aired. They seem to be censoring him just the same as the TV station…

Holy shit, what a crap website with a totally excessive number of popups and far too much fluff in the content. Glad someone posted a link to the interview.

Ah yes, ‘best technologies in the world’ like the software giving Google and the USA full access to all our data?

That’s good to know!
