uncoder0··on Live BTC transactions in Twitter hack
Someone is trying to communicate with the hacker using invalid addresses.
uncoder0··on Boeing lands $1.2B deal for eight F-15EX fighter jets
Is that mode operational yet? I remember reading about it. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/17250/lockheed-touts-n...
uncoder0··on Resignation Letter
That's exactly what I was trying to articulate. Thanks for saying it more eloquently.
uncoder0··on Resignation Letter
Is 'infected' really dehumanizing? Groups of humans can be infected with a disease, ideology, etc. I didn't mean to sound dehumanizing I'm just frustrated by the lack of reliable information about the world we live in.
uncoder0··on Boeing lands $1.2B deal for eight F-15EX fighter jets
I think if any bomber were to be used in this capacity it'd be a B-21, stealthy, good capacity, but still subsonic so vulnerable. The range of AMRAAM is still considered being in the danger zone for those aircraft. I've used the F-15EX as a missile boat against China in Command: Modern Operations to great success. Some context I used to be in the AF and worked on raptors but, now it's more of a hobby. All information I'm discussing is gleaned from the Command simulation which is publicly available and a relatively good approximation of reality.
uncoder0··on Boeing lands $1.2B deal for eight F-15EX fighter jets
F-15EX is essentially a flying missile boat, I'm pretty sure it can hold up to 20 AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles. For context a 35 carries only 4. They will support f22's and f35's from BVR. The upgrades are probably designed to modernize the older air frame to talk to the newer ones.

Whats worse is this phenomenon isn't contained to the NYT all media it appears is infected.
uncoder0··on Facebook takes down accounts and pages of Roger Stone
You are correct. Reddit tried to change all the moderators on the Donald Trump subreddit a few months back and in response the moderators built thedonald.win. After the recent ban wave of subs several others moved to the '.win network'.
uncoder0··on BattlEye Client Emulation
I knew this was a matter of time after games started using BE methods to encrypt network data. It gave cheaters and incentive to look into BE encryption and break it. This is the result. Without a rework BE is essentially useless now.
uncoder0··on Next-gen games may cost $70. It’s overdue, but also worrisome
Yeah shouldn't be news N64 games were around 50 bucks in 1997 which is ~80 dollars with inflation.
uncoder0··on Heated seats as a service? BMW wants to sell car features on demand
Tesla really is changing the auto industry quite a bit. I wonder how much they would save if they made every 3 series with the fully loaded specs and locked them behind software? I imagine you could gain a lot of efficiency in the supply chain and the manufacturing process as the cars become a lot more fungible.
uncoder0··on Facebook whistleblower documents evidence of moderation algorithm and team bias
I wish there was a completely technical solution to moderation sadly it's a human problem and humans come with their biases. It's election season if someone could document systemic political bias would that be treated as an in-kind donation under the FEC regulations?
uncoder0··on Microsoft is shutting down Mixer and partnering with Facebook Gaming
I'm very familiar with Mixer my company does interactive streaming and I really liked Mixer/Beam they had a great team. Their mobile interactivity is next to their low latency as the high marks of the platform. I do think their audience acquisition strategy with large streamers was lopsided. Maybe if they went farther down the longtail and involved a lot more content creators they could have carved out a whole community. Really sad to see them go. Shameless plug warning but, if you're moving over to Twitch there are a lot of great extensions and you can always easily build one on your own with our tools at Muxy.
uncoder0··on Study: Severe Covid-19 Cases Don't Respond to Hydroxychloroquine+Azithromycin
I am not in any way qualified in the medical domain but these methods look similar to the other Study that was viewed as flawed that showed it did work. Seems there is no solid data either way.
uncoder0··on Mystery in Wuhan: recovered coronavirus patients test negative then positive
I've never seen the mainstream media question the veracity of the statistics about Covid that came out of China until the evidence is too obvious to ignore. There is plenty of proof that they regularly manipulate their statistics such as GDP.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-08/china-s-g...

https://time.com/5811222/wuhan-coronavirus-death-toll/

etc

Why should any respectable journalist quote their statistics about COVID and conclude how effective their response was without mentioning that they've been known to fabricate statistics? Let alone calling them a 'Global Leader' in response. I've not seen this qualification mentioned once with respect to China's stats on this virus.

uncoder0··on F-35’s gun that can’t shoot straight adds to its roster of flaws
IMO, for Canada's needs Super Hornets and a few growlers will be more than enough.
uncoder0··on How The New York Times Verified the Iran Missile-Strike Footage
This was verified by online communities within 3 hours of the footage being known to western forums. NYT just copied the math or they did it themselves much later.
uncoder0··on Facebook forcing moderators to log every second of day
Being paid from 10AM to whenever is exactly what the OP implied. They were not paid for setup time as far as I can tell from that text. Are you able to glean more?
uncoder0··on US emissions fell 2.1% in 2019
The upside of methane is that it's short lived in the atmosphere with a half life in the atmosphere of ~7 years. At the end of the day we do need more nuclear it's the best solution and the newest generation of reactors can consume the 'waste' from our older generation plants, it's a win/win.
uncoder0··on Porn site to pay $12.7M to women who didn't know videos would be posted
Look up the case on the docket where it's filed. Find out the plaintiff's lawyers and give them a ring.
uncoder0··on [dead]
I agree. To think that those kind of actions were so mishandled on the most high profile FBI investigation in decades is completely horrifying. Not to even mention the falsifying of evidence. If they do that to someone as high profile as Trump how much chicanery happens with cases involving everyday people.

As an aside, Glen Greenwald is in my opinion one of the last remaining true journalists that hasn't been overcome with partisan slant.

uncoder0··on New airplane seat design to make it easier to sleep in economy
Seems like a normal PR piece turned into an 'article' in modern online journalism.

If these new seats actually help people sleep better it's great. Economy vs Business is not even comparable in terms of ability to sleep at least in terms of trans-Atlantic. I was lucky enough to get 2 trans-Atlantic (from midwest) trips in business where I had previously done economy normally and it was so relaxing and easy to sleep, for me.

uncoder0··on “We would like to apologize to the user for the error on our part this morning”
Yeah... The CCP aren't really known for their tolerance.
uncoder0··on IRS Says ‘Dozens’ of New Crypto, Cybercriminals Are Identified
Twice for me. Both in lower rent apartment row houses in college in different locations. Tons of electronics stolen and I had the S/N for 80% of them and one firearm, cops didn't seem to care. On one instance I gave them the likely culprit. Which was someone I had known from the neighborhood that I saw looking in windows when I drove left the afternoon I got robbed, didn't think too much of it at the time; just thought he was trying hang out with friend and was trying to see if they were home.
uncoder0··on IRS Says ‘Dozens’ of New Crypto, Cybercriminals Are Identified
In my experience the police don't investigate B&E's into people's homes that often or with any vigor.
uncoder0··on Airbnb Plans to Verify Every Listing
Yeah link not working for me either.
uncoder0··on Storing 50M events per second in Elasticsearch
It's misleading for sure but they're writing 250 'events' per document.
uncoder0··on Warren runs ‘fake’ FB ad attacking Zuckerberg over inaction on misinformation
I respect the principal. It's messy when you start censoring public figures. Let them speak how they want and let the people decide through a 10 second google if it's fact or fiction.
uncoder0··on Credit Suisse scandal shakes Zurich’s elite
It does not appear to be related. As a side note calling the US Spygate a 'conspiracy theory' on wiki seems a bit disingenuous. It'll all come out eventually and be interesting to see how history views those events... 'OCONUS lures', foreign intel collusion, information laundering through intel (push & pull) and all. It seems very fishy, looking forward to the release of the facts. From my rather deep research I'd put it more in the plausible but, unverified category rather than full blown 'false conspiracy theory'.
uncoder0··on China hit by EU tariffs on steel road wheels
I really don't know why that hasn't been done from the start to all Chinese companies in every country.
