lemonspat··on I Have Resigned from the Google AMP Advisory Committee
> I remain convinced that AMP is poorly implemented, hostile to the interests of both users and publishers, and a proprietary & unnecessary incursion into the open web.

Brutal, but at least we know an insider agrees that AMP is hostile to the web. If others leave, will that push Google to make better decisions? Probably not.

lemonspat··on Tiananmen Square images that China does not want you to see
So by ‘debunked’ you mean to say that your impression was wrong and you’ve learned the correct information that most others already knew?
lemonspat··on A New Satellite Can Peer Inside Buildings, Day or Night
That is astounding! something I was unaware about before. At what depth could it be measured?
lemonspat··on Blob Opera
> until stakeholders eventually saw the value

What's the value if it's gone in 2 years? I wish they'd put similar effort into preserving the app/servers (simple life support) instead of shutting them down.

lemonspat··on A New Satellite Can Peer Inside Buildings, Day or Night
The DoD (or the NRO) had this tech in the 80s? Wasn’t this SAR originally in the form of ground penetrating radar invention for finding nukes in ground siloes?
lemonspat··on Air-FI: Generating Covert Wi-Fi Signals from Air-Gapped Computers
> non-Wi-Fi signals (i.e. effectively noise) in the Wi-Fi frequency bands,

Wasnt that exactly the side channel that was feared from badBIOS? Dunno if it was WiFi bands as I dont see anyone confirmed it, so may be a diff frequency

This has a lot of repeats. For example WASHO is repeated 69 times
lemonspat··on Gmail having issues
Serious question: how would you know that you are receiving ALL emails from ALL senders?
lemonspat··on Hackers used SolarWinds' dominance against it in sprawling spy campaign
You can SSO the password to an identity store (LDAP / AD), add MFA

Or, you sign a key/certificate for each user, add MFA

Or, you create a complex password for each user, and add MFA

Or you create a complex password, shared in a keystore that handles checkout and rotation

Worst case, if you're lazy, you create a complex password for a handful of your teammates and reset it when a team member leaves

Or if you're solarwinds, you apparently choose gross negligence

lemonspat··on Hackers used SolarWinds' dominance against it in sprawling spy campaign
'solarwinds123' is gross negligence by any professional, let alone one that offers security/networking services to corporations and agencies
lemonspat··on Facebook to move UK users to California terms, avoiding EU privacy rules
IANAL, but I don't think it does. CCPA only covers California citizens. I can't perform any action under CCPA as a non-Californian
lemonspat··on Show HN: Show last Git push on an e-paper device
Have you found a battery for this that might make it fit well in a 3d printed case?
lemonspat··on Stressed banks: evidence from the largest-ever supervisory review [pdf]
That does not sound like a "who watches the watchers" but that the 'regulated' banks were found to be sly with the existing watchers, meaning the current process was ineffective (there is no bite to the regulation)
lemonspat··on I've designed Python fantasy cards to learn it easier
> This sort of practice is very damaging to the authenticity of information on the internet.

If you ever inspect Wikipedia, you'll soon realize that most of the internet has already destroyed its own reputation, and worse still is people seem not to care. Wikipedia is full of misinformation, false or misleading sources, people's opinions and biases, broken links, etc.

lemonspat··on Amateur sleuths crack one of the Zodiac Killer's ciphers after 51 years
This is great work! Every few years I would come back to reading about these ciphers, hoping that I could find a way to crack them. I realize this did not direclty give them clues, but I'm hopeful to see any new connections that might come of these (some other analysis)
