I guess this will be logging that type of data, so another data logger.

Little Snitch is not a data logger. It's a real time connection monitor.

Let's say you're using an app, and it decides to make a random connection to some server. Little Snitch will immediately pop up a dialog asking what you want it to do - let the connection through, block the connection, and if you want to allow it always, block it always, etc.

The fact it's immediate generally is for tracking purposes - the event happened because you clicked a button or started an app. A logger just makes an entry in the log, and it's really hard to correlate that log with user activity. Maybe you were running Audacity, and when you start it up, it makes a connection to the owner's server completely out of the blue. Maybe it's checking for an update. Maybe it's trying to upload your data to its servers. What you learn is that it happened when it was launching. With a data logger, you just get notified of it but have no way to figure out what you were doing at the time of the log entry.

In this day and age of telemetry and such, having it show up immediately when an app tries to make the connection is far more useful than having to do rules of allow and deny lists and having no clue what's causing it. Knowing it was a specific app uploading all your personal information means you can choose to switch to something better, block the upload so you can continue to use the app, or some other thing.

But the thing is, the reparations that the courts can give are financial.

Injunctions are usually granted in cases where non-financial losses are likely - where things can happen that the courts might not be able to reverse through a ruling. For example, sale of a car with sentimental value at auction. The courts will likely temporarily block the sale of the car because once the car is sold, there's nothing the court can do to make someone whole - the transaction will be extremely hard to reverse (especially if the buyer disappears) and a simple replacement might not carry the same meaning or sentimentality.

But because Anthropic's damages are primarily financial, this is something the court can easily award. I mean, if it costs Anthropic $100M, they'll likely accept $100M in damages, it doesn't have to be specifically that exact $100M. Even better, if Anthropic is able to get customers to claim they could not use its product, that could add to the damages while the case goes on.

Companies can encounter damages that do require injections - like say a partner wants to sell the company to a competitor, but the other partner doesn't. The court will likely hold the sale while it resolves the case because if the company is sold, it's going to be very hard to undo that if it has to. So sometimes the damages aren't all financial in nature.

Your answer merely shows your narrative, And really, it is a simple question, that you refuse to answer. I say remove America from teh equation, you try multiple times to steer it back to Trump.

Usually you are pretty intelligent and insightful. Are you perhaps collecting yuan for your statements? I mean seriously, it is just a pointed hypothetical

It is not difficult to understand that it is a hypothetical that makes a point that there has always been a dominant country. That humans always get involved with others, often in Warfare. Does not matter if it is the British Empire, the failed attempt by Europe and Japan in the 1940's that led to the US becoming dominant, or the Roman Empire, or the Egyptians, Abashevos, the Hittites or Assyrians to name a few. It was always a "smaller" world, but some group was always willing to impose their will.

Now with this - My own answer - If the USA disappears overnight, China will replace it. See how easy that was?

peace out.

And just so everyone knows, I did not drop to anonymity, someone else did. But yes, These folks cannot even answer a very simple hypothetical question, and try to force their narrative. Perhaps they don't realize it says much about them and their narrative?

Once again, the answer is simple IMO - If the US disappears overnight, China will become the world's dominant power. However, I would not expect them to be a gentle guiding force to lead the world to perennial peace. And that is the point. As easy as it is to deservedly whine about Trump, and claim he represents America, he does not. In fact, the Republicans are looking forward to a shellacking in the Mid Terms, the disapproval rate on Trump is now higher than Bush2 or Richard Nixon post Watergate. A majority of Americans want him impeached, his policies are wrecking the economy. I suspect some of his fervent followers in the rolling coal brigade aren't doing it as much when paying 6+ dollars per gallon for Trumpfuel diesel, and people wonder how this is happening when the US is the leading oil exporter.

But a simple hypothetical about a subject that is actually different from "trumpistan" rhetoric, with the insinuation that I'm MAGA, merely shows the utter intolerance of some people's viewpoints. To the point of embarrassing themselves.

Just collect your yuan, and declare yourself the winner for refusing to answer. At this point, I see an intelligent person who is afraid to answer the question, perhaps related to where he is posting from, and who is paying him.

There ya go! Right to the misogyny claim. Most very respectfully, you need to stop using that as your initial attack.

This was on a college campus - do you work on a college campus? There are quotas and preferences, and one way to think, Sorry that you believe that any discussion of the viability of those things means that the questioner hates women. Shame on you.

Before going further, your response is illustrative of a huge part of the problem. Because it is emblematic of a system where utter compliance is demanded, and castigation is the best you can hope for, career destruction is not unusual. And yes, there were two dynamics at play. Those hired under the quota/checkbox were allowed to pick and choose what they would do, and what they would not.

And despite your claims I hate women, indeed, I was at some level an enabler, because I would do the things they effectively refused to do. Travel, dangerous work, come in early, stay late, deal with the directorate. Is that hatred of women? They could pick and choose. But I did what I did because I am a professional.

Next note, I worked in efforts to recruit young women into STEM positions. This was in the first decade of this century, so we're talking GenZ kids. One of the most depressing parts of that were how badly it failed. We had the bring our daughters and sons to work day every year, And there were demonstrations of technology. My usual part aside from organizing was 3-D animation, which was a pretty popular demonstration. At the end of the day, we did a survey. The boys. were a standard mix, with a general attraction to STEM. The young ladies had very little interest in STEM, it was always at the bottom of the list. The scary part - at least for me - was the number one career the young ladies were choosing was Pop star Diva, usually followed by Lawyer. Veterinarian was also high on the list. Which I always considered STEM, but for some reason wasn't considered as such.

The women running the show would have a PM to discuss how things turned out. When asked, I had to be extremely careful, so I just said we need to stay the course, that full 50/50 representation was going to take time. When in fact, I came to believe that girls have their own minds, and are simply interested in what they are interested in, that vanishingly few become pop stars, so they decide on another path later in their journey. And they choose what they are interested in, despite the claims always blaming it on men.

And your rush to say I hate women is exactly why I didn't tell them what I thought - could have been career suicide. I say or write nothing hateful, and you cast me as the mortal enemy of all women. Exhibit b your honor.

And everything should be perfect. Your concept of anyone can do anything if they are trained is terribly flawed. I am really good at what I do. I have very high technical ability, have good social skills, and in addition, I am what is called a pattern weaver, https://katheryngreenleaf.subs... which makes me a extremely quick troubleshooter.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to find a person with both excellent technical skills and social skills, and once you factor in pattern weaving, that can't be taught. No one is irreplaceable, but sometimes it takes two or more. And the reason I got called while on vacation, or when recovering from surgery, and on pain meds, was that they knew I was able to analyze their problem and fix it quickly.

My wife, who is pretty good about professionalism (she is one herself) while she was only a little annoyed by the vacation calls, was not happy at all about the recovery from surgery. Turns out they tried to get me to come in pre surgery as well, By that time I was shot up with some "I don't give a damn" med. But normal situations, she had no problem with my professionalism. All that said, I have been working post retirement with a group who are specifically there for one reason - they are tops in their field, employed for meritocracy, and we are men and women working at an extremely high level of competence without respect for our genitals. And the pay is very good. So perhaps you and I are in a different world. I merely note why I was on call so much, and it triggered you to call me a hater of women, because you are very intolerant. You think anyone can be trained to do anything - that's nice, but the hires were supposed to already know the things I did. And - no you can't train anyone to do anything.

The real pity is that those women who were hired for different reasons not necessarily related to competence, ended up crashing out when it came to downturns. Was that fair to them? One time, I got an email from one of the women who was terminated, wondering if there was ever a chance of re-hiring her. In it she said "I'll even do those other things you do." Kinda sad really, she knew that she was in a privileged position, while I was picking up the things she didn't want to do. But downturns are downturns, and the stuff I did was still required.

Have as good day sir, let no one question your narrative. I think you need it that way.

Yes. I watched a documentary about the Destruction wreaked on countries that fell to the Roman Empire. Once they won, the Romans set to destroying the cities, and buried the places under the rubble.

They then set to rebuilding to reinforce Roman power. Interestingly, often a coliseum was one of the first items.

War is incredibly wasteful of resources and people. But it isn't going to go away totally because it is part of our genetics.

Remind me again on how you use really poor deflection methods, and accomplish nothing?

Since you read the thread so far, that's the only thing.

I am not defending the action in Iran, or Ukraine, or wherever else humans are happily killing each other in 2026. My personal analysis is that it is a big mistake. I'll even spell it out the background and my simple question again:

Humanity has engaged in "Killing the Other", as long as we've had history, and even before, Notably at the site of Jebel Sahaba, committed against a population associated with the Qadan culture of far northern Sudan. The cemetery contains a large number of skeletons that are approximately 14,000 years old, around half of the skeletons with arrowheads embedded in them. This is the earliest scientifically determined instance of warfare.

We even engage in internecine warfare, where we kill those within our group, not "The Other". And we haven't stopped. This is not conjecture that we haven't stopped - these are verifiable facts.

Humans are not the only species to intrinsically engage in war against themselves, Pan Troglodytes (Chimpanzee) is quite violent as well.

Early History shows this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (that page has a lot of good stuff - and is the jump point for the series on War. And oh, goodness, the Roman Empire....

So my question, which is quite simple follows: Since humans simply will engage in warfare, some group will be in the lead position.

If not the USA, tell me who you want to be in the lead position?

I think it was brought up because a youtuber brought it up recently in one of their videos and it probably went viral.

He mentioned how it was billed as supposedly a relaxing spa type retreat that wasn't, and what was a disaster for some, others found fun and team building.

It wasn't captured as anything other than "CEO misreads room for team building event". All I know is such activities aren't for me so I don't know if those who weren't equipped to do that sort of thing had an alternative thing or they were forced to participate.

I don't disagree. But the easy manipulation is because of the genetic propensity to violence. It may have helped humanity to survive in our earlier evolution, but especially now, threatens our existence.

Once again, I agree. And too far left or right becomes totalitarian as well. But my original question pretty much remains unanswered. There are too many armed conflicts around the world wo suggest that we don't like what we are doing.

War is a horrible waste of people, materials, and money. Of course we shouldn't ever make war.

My point is not about the USA, or Iran, or China, or the Great Orange shitgibbon. If it he or Putin disappeared tonight, war wouldn't go away. Because there are places where the US or Russians are not fighting. https://www.instagram.com/p/DE....

My point, and my only point is that as long as there are humans, there will be wars. Killing other humans is a core competency of humans, it has been proven over and over again.

So anyone who understands that needs to ask themselves, who do you want to be the war leaders? Because if the USA went away tomorrow, not much would change.

Blaming it on Donnie and the Epstein files is all well and good, but that's not the question I've been asking. That this present action is ill thought out is hard to deny as a major screwup there are still all the other "actions" going on, with our without him. With or without the USA.

Microsoft issues the secure boot keys that are used by all Linux distributions.

If they can just arbitrarily yank someone's keys like this, apparently without explanation or appeal, then what does that mean for those Linux keys? Are they subject to withdrawal for no reason as well?

Incorrect. Microsoft signs the boot shim. This lets you use Secure Boot with the default Microsoft keys you use to boot Windows. So any PC, with Secure Boot enabled, can boot Linux. The keys built into every PC are Microsoft's, and even if you hard reset the machine, they will revert to those Microsoft keys.

You are encouraged though if you run Linux, to create your own keys, and install them on your PC. Doing so would require you to re-sign the Microsoft bootloader but you are free to use your own keys. The only reason Microsoft signed the shim is because some OEMs do not make it easy to install a third-party key to secure-boot a non-Windows OS. So the Microsoft signed shim means if it can boot Windows, it can boot Linux.

And I say shim because that's the actual component signed - major Linux distributions re-distributed the signed binary. But it's bootloader independent - you can use the signed shim to boot your own version of GRUB or other bootloader and continue the secure boot chain if desired. (If you use something like Ubuntu, you're likely to encounter this if you try to compile your own kernel or module where you then h ave to add a key to the shim so the kernel can run your new module.

Microsoft can stop signing new shims, but that has nothing to do with Secure Boot. It's just a way so everything that can boot Windows can boot other OSes even if the OEMs lock down the computer.

Big companies often use their own keys for secure boot.

Then again, Apple's treatment of the Vision Pro perplexes me, so who knows what Apple is doing there...

I think Apple is trying to figure it out too, so they're just letting it be a developer's playground as in "Here's some cool hardware, now do something with it".

It's a device looking for a purpose, and Apple is just trying to see where that goes. I'm sure most of what we do with smartphones today wasn't what Jobs envisioned back for the original iPhone, so the Vision Pro is similar. Maybe hoping to see if an interesting use case pops out.

The pilots carry a transponder. If you make it down to the ground alive, you hide, turn on the transponder and wait for a rescue.

There was an article about the Boeing device that is just this.

It uses spread-spectrum wideband technology in fast burst mode so you can communicate. It's encrypted, digital and the fast burst means every transmission lasts well under 1ms which means by the time you detect it, it's too late to triangulate the position. (Think of the annoying beeping prank toys you can get)

Wideband technology means even if you pick something up, the location is spread out, and is a much weaker signal as it barely disturbs the noise floor.

It's also a 2 way communicator so you can send messages to it and they can reply back, and basically handheld. You strap it on, turn it on and it transmits your position in those bursts.

Of course, the biggest farce is about the second pilot being reported in the news. Which is a farce because if you know anything about the F-15E, you know it's a 2 man aircraft. So you know if you shot one down, there are two people you have to account for. It's not just public information, it's basically well known information. The fact that one was rescued means obviously there's one more to look for.
