Where can I read more about these hints?


You can go straight to review articles, which are generally available for free on the arXiv. Or if you want the firehose, you can scan for papers whose abstracts contain words like 'hint', 'anomaly', 'excess', 'discrepancy', and so on [0].

I've provided a link to a blog that goes in depth on the previous results in another comment

"Until the new Terms are accepted access to the web interface and API will be blocked. So, for users who have integrations with our API this will cause a brief pause..."

It's not even take it or leave it, one has to agree first in order to leave.

It seems whoever approved this, forgot why people arrived to GitLab from GitHub.


Mill architecture?


Maybe. NetBSD doesn't have an equivalent of the nommu variant of Linux.


Interesting. So what do they do with the materials afterwards? Landfill or melting or?


Probably varies depending on stage. Wafers are very pure silicon, so the ones that haven't yet been contaminated with trace elements would probably be melted down for reuse. Wafers later in the process are probably carrying a lot of material (gold/silver/platinum, maybe iridium, some heavy metals?) that would be worth salvaging in bulk.


It would be interesting if you can evaluate the UI spam lately somehow:

  - Sign up for newsletter
  - This website wants to send you notifications
and more, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9bx5a3PMks


I will have some of this in my "technical factors" chapter coming down the road. I definitely will be evaluating the percentage of SMB websites which use chat clients and various (annoying) marketing tools.


He writes this paragraph that may explain your observation:

"So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing. It is my job to create universes, as the basis of one novel after another. And I have to build them in such a way that they do not fall apart two days later. Or at least that is what my editors hope. However, I will reveal a secret to you: I like to build universes which do fall apart."


>The risk to the supply chain is zero

Hypothetically, what would happen to a pcb board , 33x33cm in size, with the ground lines running around the edge of that board, when hit with a high power 900 MHz broadcast?


Aircraft go through many tests, including various electromagnetic interference tests. They should know exactly how it responds in such a scenario.

Of course, I was just illustrating with an elementary electromagnetism example that the risk isn't zero.


That's fair. There's always supply chain risk in more nefarious ways as well (rootkit/trojan in bios, etc)


That high power 900 MHz broadcast will travel half an inch, then get absorbed by the metal housing. Military electronics are shielded, both to protect them from EMP and to avoid detection by passive radar.


“Hypothetically speaking”. Heh. Good one.

On that note I don’t understand the willful cognitive dissonance around Chinese espionage. They’re a powerful state aggressively looking out for their own self interests just like all the others.


So, why are we not closing stations for scheduled code red days on normal weather? They are lying to the public, but it doesn't seem there are any consequences for them, only for the employees that object to the lying.


It's not dismal, it's calculated. Monopolies can afford that.


That doesn't mean it can't be dismal too.


Fairly enough. Although I want to live in the illusion that Google at least likes money more than anything else, and they weight their options. The alternative is scary.


A bit incomplete title then. They are also testing legal boundaries, population reaction, and few other things that are morally objectionable.


We need to invent a category of property rights for the results of such testing against non-consenting populations. That would create an economic incentive for lawyers to do what they do best.

We already have legal precedent for paying reparations for undisclosed tests against civilians.
