Gravity just needs mass not fusion but your point remains.

Wow - another example of just how big the Internet is. Never heard of this guy and that seems kinda unfathomable given overlap in interest.

Didn't read the article (traditionally) but did read the Toll Trilogy on PACWWII. There are a bunch of these types of strings in Army and Navy history. It isn't obvious to me yet the general stenography, style of these things.

Anyone decoded SIGSALY correctly yet, is it signals ally?

I like this a lot and I've just been watching the default BBC Earth and it's amazing.

edit: It appears to be Seven Worlds, One Planet narrated by you know who.

I'll argue there's potentially a standards based advantage at the end when this all shakes out.

It will probably take a couple hundred years but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this :)

Sorry to be pedantic but if you're clicking the link, YT gets the referer header even without the share id url parameter.

man, myself needs work

my undergrad econ degree suggests there was more demand than supply

Got here too late so seems like it went viral.

So, it was a really good idea?

I hope you're talking about the original The Jackal. That's a great movie that has fascinated me essentially because of the theme you've identified. A truly motivated, highly-intelligent person could commit horrendous acts without detection. So far, whoever committed this assassination has succeeded; but I suspect, there is simply too much surveillance in 2025 to get away with it.

edit: regarding the surveillance issue, wonder what the retention on google earth/maps logs is for the location of the shooting?

> hiss of communication

Allow me to speculate massively. Hiss sounds more like weak signal acquisition. Perhaps in this case, Mitnick was interfering but not defeating encryption.

> Are there any good out of the box or open source self-hosted Aereo-like services, that let me access OTA broadcasts in another market?

Jellyfin with an HDHomerun is a pretty nice combo for this.
