  1. It’s important to understand that “middle class” has a very different meaning in the UK than the US. In the UK “middle class” generally means “posh”, you could see it as a shorthand for “upper middle class”.
  2. > I know a Korean asylum seeker who has had a pending case for literally years

    I’m curious, what do Koreans need to seek asylum from? Doesn’t South Korea have a pretty good human rights record? Presumably those coming from the North have a very easy time in the South?

  3. Oh yeah, I’d assume that most people hate calling restaurants :)

    It’s been a loong time since I last phoned in a pizza order, but for restaurant reservations it’s a daily thing (lots of places do have tables even though online booking says “full”).

  4. But why would you care if the pizza place gets your name right? My name is difficult too, but I just don’t give restaurants my real name.
  5. Did “woke” actually originate in AAVE instead of whatever the technical term for twitter-speak is?
  6. Wouldn’t that be the other way around if anything?
  7. Nobody reports this stuff, but exploit kits like blackhole have completely disappeared. (Sure, maybe technically not “0click” even if delivered via an ad on nytimes.com)

    The situation has dramatically improved during the past 30 years, but so has reporting. It’s the improved reporting that makes it sound like as if the world is on fire.

  8. Of course not, the situation is already far better than it was 5 or 10 years ago. If anything, we’re slowly exiting the 0-click era, not entering it.
  9. But you’re just playing games with meanings of words.

    > "We did not have concrete evidence that data was exfiltrated from the DNC"

    They did not have pcaps of exfil traffic but did recover the compressed files that had been prepared for exfiltration. Without pcaps there can be no “concrete evidence” that those files were exfiltrated, but we do know that the intruders did prepare data for exfiltration and had nothing stopping them from doing so.

    This is basically as good as it ever gets. How about you name examples of some better investigations?

  10. Yeah a variety of clowns keep posting this same conspiracy theory over and over, but the fact is that the House testimony does not in any way support your claim

    > His company's top officers lied to the public during the campaign in 2016 (and ever since) that the DNC servers was hacked by the Russian Government

    The only real takeaway from your links is that crowdstrike does not have pcaps showing data exfiltration.

  11. As if grindr doesn’t collect any payments in Europe or have executives who enjoy their ability to travel.
  12. >The link between [redacted], the Israeli state intelligence services and the Israeli Defence Force is not a tenuous one

    >One of the directors of Carbyne is [redacted]. The chairman of the board of directors is Ehud Barak, the 10th Prime Minister of Israel

    She’s a director of a company with a former PM on the board, pretty sure this is exactly the kind of a link that normal sane people would consider “tenuous”.

  13. None of your sources support the claims you made regarding Crowdstrike.
  14. > Pollard the traitor is a hero to Israel

    Well… obviously? How else could Israel treat him?

  15. You are seriously overestimating the capabilities of blockchain analysis tools.
  16. And who’s to say they weren’t? It’s perfectly feasible to subvert AML procedures by providing fake documents.
  17. > Because the fiat was easily recoverable in the traditional financial system

    This is a downright lie, I’m not sure why people keep repeating it. Doesn’t stand to the least bit of scrutiny, BEC schemes are stealing billions and billions via the traditional financial system. Once that money gets sent overseas, nothing is easy.

  18. Suggesting that “chad_stevens” is engaged in these abusive behaviours just because he doesn’t agree with the perhaps-exaggerated tone of the article is taking it a bit far, don’t you think?

    Perhaps he’s just a normal person who likes to play games and doesn’t do anything creepy? I think it’s perfectly normal for people to react negatively when their previously quiet private clubhouses are attracting attention like this.

  19. Outside of the internet, I feel like I’m far more likely to hear stuff like that from women than men.
  20. Indeed, there is simply no excuse for the lockdowns to extend beyond mom and grandma.

    Restrictions focused at me, a healthy vaccinated under-30 yo male aren’t helping anyone.

  21. Move somewhere more expensive :) There are a places in the world where 7.5 million euros won’t get you far.

    It really sounds ridiculous, but having something to aspire to goes a long way toward bringing that drive back.

  22. > it's recently happen to owner of local cybersecurity company Group-IB

    Charged with treason for aiding foreign intelligence agencies, odds are he was working with the FBI and is guilty as charged.

    Group-IB was kind of famous for causing problems, it’s surprising it took as long as it did for the government to crack down.

  23. acpid is probably the easiest way to accomplish this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/acpid
  24. Of course, but this won’t be easy with commodity hardware. Standard practice is to use write-blockers to prevent this kind of tricks, but of course you can prevent write-blockers by integrating your storage.

    I think you could get a pixel phone to do this in a useful way.

  25. I’ve just been using a wristband made out of cheap headphones plugged into a 3.5mm jack, acpi event triggers the shutdown.
  26. An active lifestyle and a disdain for phone cases gets you there.

    The iPhone SE is indestructible, I have a few of them. Never managed to break one.

  27. With recent iphones I’ve yet to have one that didn’t already have cracks on the back glass around the time applecare was about to end, that seems to immediately qualify for a device replacement.

    Also, doesn’t applecare+ cover scratches and dents anyway? They’d probably swap out a perfectly functional phone over minor damage if you insist, never tried that though.

  28. > 3. Sell it the moment the AppleCare runs out on eBay. Don’t part exchange it.

    If you destroy the device a day before AppleCare runs out you can swap it for a brand new one, easier to sell.

  29. The Federal Reserve Bank?
