The crush to the cable could be a number of things but without knowing the terrain, and knowing these cables just lie on the sea floor, it could be caused by the cable sitting on some jagged rock and has been pulled tight elsewhere (perhaps by fisherman dredging the seabed) resulting in the cable being forced onto the jagged rock and it being crushed onto the rock.

Likewise, but unlikely, some heavy object from above has some how landed on the cable, perhaps even a submarine of sorts resting on the seabed.

Again knowledge of the terrain of the sea floor where the cable crush took place is key into gaining some idea of what might have happened, but I think its the first scenario, a fisherman dredging the sea floor elsewhere has caught and pulled the cable tight and the cable crush is the damage from it resting on rocks where its snagged and crushed itself from the tautness.

Rock climbers and abseilers using ropes will see this with their ropes.


Lets not forget that the British Govt banned Russia Today from broadcasting in the UK a few years back. Such is their planning and manipulation of events on the global stage!

Notice a pattern with the British Govt? They get their "independent" depts and businesses to do their dirty work for deniability!


Russian government literally assassinated or tried to assassinate several people in British territory. That the Russian government's propaganda arm hadn't been given the boot after these spectacular acts of bad faith demonstrates that the UK government perhaps has slightly more dedication to press freedom than you're suggesting.


Indeed, up until 2014 the BBC World Service was literally funded by the Foreign Office.


Someone who worked for the British Military told me back in the early 00's the US military (but could be any part of the US govt) had the ability to bowl up outside a building and "tune" into any of the pc they could detect. It didnt matter what floor of an office block they were on, how far away from a window they were, they had a special suitcase for remote accessing any and all pc's they wanted.

Dont know how true it was or is, but I've seen some of these devices now advertised online. I'd provide a link if only Google & Bing would deliver the results, and were also psychologically engaged in warfare on the population.

Though for a second I thought you were going to talk about the mythical TV licensing detector vans :)


> the fact that the popups often don't load until all the page views are fetched (I'm assuming because of some rate limiting on Wikipedia's side),

Its a nice idea, but the Wiki backend might be the reason why they abandoned their own geolocating website efforts, which might be what you are now experiencing.

I think it would be nice for Wiki, to have an option which includes geolocated wiki articles in the surrounding area, just like they have the "see also" at the bottom of the page sometimes.

Problem with this though, is this feature might also not exist to prevent article stuffing in tourist areas, or area's where realtors/estate agents might be trying to sell expensive property.

Nice effort and article.


I wouldnt trust my life with doctors, they are no better than religious academics.

The drug companies know more than them!


So it probably also affects Android phones and SBC like RaspberryPi's?


No, this is all Apple hardware. Other SOCs often have equivalent features and might plausibly make the same mistake (which per the Hector Martin toot is effectively "the write back cache doesn't check security access control so you can stuff data into it to be snooped by other devices"). But this bug is Apple-only.


This only works at all because there is no IOMMU for the GPU. So they'd also have to decide not to do that as well.


Yeah, but lots and lots of hardware lives across a bus without an IOMMU. Until very recently, that was the natural state of things. To me what's notable here is that they have a snoopable cache across a security boundary, where you can get the IO device to read arbitrary data you stuffed in from the CPU, when the CPU can't actually touch the underlying storage being cached!


The bypass is Apple-specific… which it must be, because the security feature being bypassed, CTRR, is itself Apple-specific. I don’t think Android phones or Raspberry Pi even have any equivalent.


> The crux is understanding what data access patterns you will have and what indexes / data structures accelerate that access pattern

We have a winner. But when looking at SQL tables/Views/Stored Procedures, the data is also stored in order in memory, in effect have a master database and files on disk, with sorted databases and files in memory for faster access.


Some people dont want to validate their existence or the bad laws that also exist on the statute books.


It is better to ask for help from your constituency... unless you have private militia.


I wasnt bought up to ask for help. It was beaten in to me by parents and teachers, to work things out myself, today that causes me significant cognitive dissonance which is legal torture and a way to make people self destruct.

Besides why should other people know how I'm being done over?


> It was beaten in to me by parents and teachers, to work things out myself

And now you have to learn the counter-lesson the hard way. Doing things without help was not beaten in to me, but through formative experiences and temperament that's also my default. It's a difficult habit to break, but the most powerful people do break it (or never had it in the first place).

One of the explicit duties of the police is to record and, if possible, to respond to civil and criminal infractions. A hit-and-run, or even a plain hit-and-stay is such an infraction. There's absolutely nothing wrong, and plenty of things right, with informing the appropriate people of an incident for which they have a duty to respond.


I've witnessed and experienced Police criminality so dont lecture me!

Utopia's dont exist, the state like religion or law like medicine is a utopia.


It's advice, not a lecture. You seem to be extraordinarily cynical and conditioned based on your life experience so I won't try to give you any more advice based on my life experience.

No one was talking about a utopia.


Isnt this Findom/PayPig thing just a variation of outing GoldDiggers as seen in the link below? The fact the FinDom's are now turning to AI would suggest a level of awareness and subtle education is taking place, namely the ability to use such technology. Its a bit like when people claim to be dyslexic and thus cant read or write, but they text message and DM people on social media platforms no problem at all!

Of course, the AI Paypig gives the Central Banks a platform that doesnt need Ex Fed Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankes helicopter drops and doesnt challenge their authority when people question their methods.

" We know sun-exposed skin ages versus skin protected by clothing, which doesn't show age nearly as much."

Is this why vampires seemed to live longer?

So whilst this reinforces the benefits of managing immune system response to reduce inflammation, would an anti-inflammatory diet, vegetables, acetic acid, zinc, magnesium, manganese, omega3's, leucine, lysine, histidine etc etc also have a similar effect, once its been consumed for long enough, whilst being mindful of the fact that things like the bones take a total of 10years to fully remodel?

As a cosmetic product it would certainly have its uses in much the same way wallpaper can cover up problem walls in a property and give some smart phone filters a run for their money as well.
