assuming the guard node connects to the host when the host communicates with the client, this makes a little more sense. If I understand correctly you are saying that they did not seize a boat load of unrelated nodes and have rather fluxcompensated it with "timing correlation" and infinite funds.

Ad hominem: your username spells out MIB, Men in Black, surely you are joking.

technicly this is the only comment in this chain that is relevant to the featured article, but it's technicly so incomplete that it's almost wrong, I can tell from having read the thread and knowing next to nothing else about how TOR works.

They don't have plausible evidence to subpoena the guard node if a middle node only sees encrypted traffic. They would also need to control the exit nodes which communicate with the target's host or they simply control the host as a honeypot.

You are missing that to drive one-self home is a metaphor, possibly a visual metaphor in this case, for DIY self-service in the private domain, as it were.

there are no good examples. The basic premise in Linguistics these days seems tl be that all languages are potentially equally expressive. Trade-offs in one domain (grammar, lexicon, phonology etc.) afford advantages in another. Which means, there is no need to refer to Japanese at all.

You could equally refer to some slur in a lower register to then claim that this doesn't exist in your language and how it can't be translated either. So when Joe Biden said "SoB" on tape once, that was code switching; likewise, when Trump says anything it's all made up and coded and means something entirely different. However, these are bad examples if your target is a monolingual Japanese, obv.

However, Tsundoku hasn't caught on, at least not in English, except as a vain example of language fun facts. If there was a need, it would be borrowed eventually, perhaps as a semantic loan (calque). We call it hording already. Japanese simply adds a work related to reading. I don't read Japanese but I can recognize the "speech" radical at least.

The characters aren't connected so the brush is lifted and a space left behind. Of course this also goes for the space between signs of a compound word, but this also holds for "compound word", which is itself a compound word. Also they had \n = EoL alright.

Negative spaces are so important in *-graphy

Related to what, Frikandel?

gnash (one's teeth) and German knusen ("to chew") ought to be related with nosh and German naschen, seeing that snack in the same sense may be derived from some onomatopoeia meaning "bite". It's a non-trivial problem since these onmnomnom forms are thought to escape regular sound change. However, you may be right that silent g is inserted by mistake, but an archaic g-prefix which may be realized as /k/ is productive in Swabian, which might indicate a western Yiddish variety rather than the more eastern Ashkenaz.
