russian device on front page of hn; metrologists respond with feces joke. rustaceans make fun of being a code spelunker, make a godfather joke. oh, and multi national food corp offers their fake processed food to aliens re: disclosures.

all of these are tied together, as is the unfortunate news about defrauding homeless orgs in sf.

The news is 100% legit but it's pursuant to an ongoing investigation into corruption and infiltration by malicious/rogue actors in SV. The article was published for this dual use purpose and my comment supports that secondary use.

If this makes no sense, then carry on, nothing to see here.

* The simulation shall invoke feelings of paranoia and the sense of communication with a higher intelligence during user's formative years via consumption of psychotropic substances, faithfully re-creating the sensations of schizophrenia.

* The simulation will slowly reveal increasingly clear contact with a higher intelligence as adulthood sets in, throughout which the enigma of the user's role in the outcome of the simulated world will morph into intrinsic understanding of, and harmony with, the simulated world. This marks the transition away from purely schizophrenic perceptions to grandiose delusions that manifest in a progressively convincing fashion.

the ideal CAD operator has a series of personalized single key shortcuts on their left hand.

I challenge you to put your top ten commands on single key or double-same key (e.g. zz) shortcuts on the left side of the keyboard. Your CAD skills will speed up significantly once these become muscle memory.

Did they want the readership data for malicious, unjustified reasons?

Most/all of those methods have (often much) greater friction than cryptocurrency. I'd guess that, if cryptocurrency were banned domestically, the payouts would significantly decrease, and probably reduce the frequency of these attacks.

But, even then, such a ban would probably have a negative effect on cybersecurity progress, since these incidents are motivating fundamental changes to cybersecurity awareness, policies, procedures, and technology.
