In most cases, if someone who doesn't work for your company already has that level of access, you already screwed up somewhere in your security stack.

While true, of course there's still the insider problem to contend with. We've seen plenty of cases where disgruntled employees decide to burn everything on their way out (and, sometimes, not even waiting until then...).

I work in Seattle. I can't say I've ever noticed an issue when I've had to use my cell phone's network, but it's not like I do that every day.

However I can say that, in between stations along the train tracks (where the Sounder runs), there are places where there basically isn't any connectivity no matter which network you're on.

Ask Jeeves had real potential in the AI era -- a character you could actually recognise, which could be moulded to fit the character from the books (the training material is more than adequate for a persona). Current AI chatbots used for searches have either no real personality or a very simplistic sycophant one. A detailed persona that could keep people engaged and interested without talking them into paranoia or suicide would likely have gone down well.

Think about it .. the US landed C-130s, and a bunch of other aircraft including helicopters deep in their territory --- hung out for like 45 minutes and left. They couldn't track noisy ass helicopters and you're telling me they can find a phase array antenna Starlink? Most units of which, I can pretty much guarantee, are owned by government-connected people. And btw, they can be solar powered and planted some distance away from whoever owns it.

If the U.S. can do that, they can put drones in the air and create a Starlink-based swarm network providing free Wi-Fi to everyone, replacing the hardware as it gets shot down. Nobody has to have the Starlink hardware if it is a few hundred feet up — complete anonymity and complete destruction of the government's Internet blackout.
