Beyond visual range engagements require powerful radar that cannot fit in the missile itself. The missile can only navigate the last leg of it's journey without relying on external information.

Fire and forget means it requires no more input/information from whatever fired it. The benefit is that the platform that launched it is free to do other things.

>but you aren't cut off from the incessant social media and all

It is your decision to pay attention to the "news" and social media

Lmao

They still collect and save all of that information. It's just not displayed to you ;)

I'd be interested in the amount of truth behind this.

It it established Google keeps "shadow" behavioral data that isn't accessible to users?

I'm sure they have some in other systems to some degree (i.e logging).

I just did a takeout for my location history (which I keep off) and it was empty.

Do you have any evidence besides "well it's technically possible, and they might be violating GDPR and lying in their product documentation"?

Imagine you got into Bitcoin in 2010 and bought a few hundred dollars worth. Now that is worth more money than you could even dream about. The real question is why not buy an nft for the lulz?

I don't think that's what's happening here for the most part. Many NFTs are not even purchased with crypto, they're bought with credit cards or bank transfers on sites like NiftyGateway.

How many of these webrtc peer to peer file sharing sites are we going to have? I swear there are hundreds at this point. None of them offer anything different than each other. Sure, it's a great project for a frontend dev to throw together on a weekend. But that's about it

Magic wormhole isn’t strictly peer to peer nor uses WebRTC as the traffic is routed through a relay server. This was my motivation to build one of these hundreds file sharing tools [0]. My aim was to build a truly decentralised file sharing CLI as basically a drop-in replacement for croc/magic-wormhole - so it seems relevant to mention it here. It’s based on libp2p and comes with its own trade offs.

lotharrr (the author of magic-wormhole) gave kind and valuable feedback when I posted it on HN [1].

Did you read the link?

This is a cli application. I am not aware of them also offering a web site, although that would certainly be a great addition.

There are a lot of them because they're fun to write. NES emulators are another example.

Ah yes the same WHO that refuses to even say the word Hong Kong.

Go read the book manufacturing consent.

Case in point, would that book have been published if all publishers were ideologically controlled by the state?

The whole point of the book is that it's not necessary for publishers to be controlled by the state for the state to control public opinion.

So, go read the book.

Yes. I doubt any other organization has the capabilities to break Tor anonymity. They don't want to reveal their hand so you will only see their tools used in extreme circumstances. At most we will get some official parallel construction nonsense.
