USA was still very much on the rise at the advent of the internet. If you define the advent of the internet to be Arpanet, then that was 1969, the same year the USA landed on the moon. If you define the advent of the internet to be the first use of the World Wide Web that would be 1989 the same year the Berlin wall came down and 3 years before the Soviet Union collapsed, which was arguably the most powerful the USA has ever been as it was before China’s rise.
Just because its not sent in doesn’t mean it was forgotten.

Why can’t humans stop being dicks to other humans for even like 5 minutes?
Being dicks to one another is where the huge majority of wealth and power come from. Asking humans to give up being dicks to one another is asking them to be satisfied with the tiny fraction of wealth and power that is derived from NOT being dicks to one another. Being satisfied with less is not really human nature.
Did Britain or Rome know the moments when Pax Britannia or Pax Romana had hit their tipping point to decline? I doubt it.
I think the tipping point will only be observable through the lens of history many years from now with a subject heading of: This event was the beginning of the end of Pax Americana.
Not my joke, but a good one:
Dentist: When was the last time these teeth have been flossed?
Patient: You should know, doc. You did it.
There’s a history of Chinese ships dragging their anchors and damaging undersea infrastructure:

By your logic:
No, not by a long shot.
I am responding directly to your statement from your OP:
Skip the middle men and just start leaving shit in insecure places you want the press to get, I say.
I’m saying the person with the data they want leaked can create the insecure place where they know it will get picked up but still maintain plausible deniability. I’m agreeing with you.
Totally not how that works.
Its not the ONLY way how it works, but it absolutely can work that way.
Like you think “hackers” are just scanning the entire Internet like in Matrix world and stumbling on stuff?
You don’t have to take my word for it. You can, like, read the article I posted where they detail another IT professional went through the steps and recorded actual results. Is clicking on the link and reading too difficult because you’re too busy with “Lelz”?
Well then you’re still respotfor pointing people to it somehow.
There’s no need to point it out. Hundreds of hacker scanners are running all the time across the internet looking for unpatched Operating Systems with known exploits. These are automatic by the hackers because the flaws are well documented.
Imagine being told that there is one person in the world that will give you a million dollars cash and the only thing you need to do is ask them to give you the money. Now, imagine you have the phone numbers for every single person. It is trivially easy to set up a computer script that will go through the entire list and send each phone number a txt message asking them to give you the money. You’d start up this process and never have to revisit it except to check ever few weeks if someone responded that they’ll give you the money.
This is how the hacker exploit scripts work. So for my example above, if I wanted my Windows XP computer hacked, I just need to leave it unpatched and plug it into the internet without any firewall. The hacking literally takes only 10 minutes for your Windows XP computer to be hacked.
Skip the middle men and just start leaving shit in insecure places you want the press to get, I say.
Should we call these Honeypot leaks? Create a server running on completely unpatched Windows XP then put what you want leaked, then attach it raw dog to the internet without any kind of firewall.
I recall that subdomains are their own record inside a DNS
Well, not a record, but a zone. A subdomain is its own zone. There are additional DNS records that support a separate zone though.
which would imply that anyone can claim that their server is a non-existent subdomain of the real domain
False. The person wanting control of the subdomain must be delegated control from the parent domain. Owners of the parent domain don’t just hand that out to anyone. The mechanism is called DNS Delegation.
I think you’re referring to “depth” where an election would be consider a “landslide”. The article is talking about “width”, as in most states (the Electoral College wasn’t even close with 72% going to Trump), GOP taking Executive, both houses of Legislative, and of course already has the Judicial in their control. That’s the “sweeping” part.
No it wasn’t
I sure wish it wasn’t either, but it looks like its the reality. How are you defining it not being a sweep?
Or saw that both sides probably lead to the same end eventually.
Get out of here with that false equivalency bullshit. Trump’s cabinet picks so far are a Russian propaganda parroter for head of CIA, an anti-vax and raw milk advocate for Health and Human Services, a white supremacist tattooed person for Defense secretary and a suspected pedophile that is having their ethics hearing results blocked for Attorney General.
Do you even think for a hot second that Harris would have make such unqualified and toxic choices for her cabinet?
I almost can’t blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.
I like the end result that ISPs are pushing back on this, but don’t mistake this for altruism on their part.
Their businesses make money selling internet service. Were they to support cutting off those accused of piracy, they would be losing paying customers. Further, the business processes and support needed for this to function would be massively expensive and complicated. They’d have to hired teams of people and write whole new software applications for maintaining databases of banned users, customer service staff to address and resolve disputes, and so much more.
Lastly, as soon as all of that process would be in place to ban users for piracy accusations, then the next requests would come in for ban criteria in a classic slippery slope:
All the machinery would be in place once the very first ban is approved.
Vaccines are great for young people with strong immune systems. They are significantly less effective for the elderly
Less effective for the elderly compared to what? Staying unvaccinated? With diseases like COVID and flu the elderly are the group that should get vaccinated over nearly every other group.
"The data suggests that boosters and updated vaccines are more important for older adults. " source
and newborns
Children are the second most important vaccination group after the elderly. Children represent the “high transmission” category. source
and the immuno-compromised.
Well sure, because vaccines work by educating the immune system. Without a functioning one, a vaccine isn’t going to help much, which is why the rest of us with otherwise healthy immune systems need to be vaccinated because they can’t.
So if you get a nice thick herd immunity of healthy people
That doesn’t work with highly mutagenic diseases because exposure to infection doesn’t produce long standing immunity.
