The country that once turned post-Coral Sea USS Yorktown around in 48 hours for the Battle of Midway:

Um:
Don’t blame the whole country. St. Petersburg is run by leftist kooks. It’s the Gomorrah to Tampa’s Sodom: twin cities.
Here’s a little trip down memory lane. Were these crazy years or what?
Better overview of GPS spoofing: GPS Spoofing: Final Report published by WorkGroup – International Ops 2024 – OPSGROUP
This is from Ops Group, which is a service for people who plan international flights. GPS spoofing has become a huge headache. Most war zones worldwide now have GPS spoofing.
“GPS spoofing began to severely impact civil aviation in September 2023. While GPS interference is not a new phenomenon, the scale and effects of the current wave of spoofing are unprecedented. In the first few months, relatively few aircraft were affected, but by January 2024, an average of 300 flights a day were being spoofed. By August 2024, this had grown to around 1500 flights per day. Most recently, for the one-month period from July 15 - August 15, 2024, a total of 41,000 flights experienced spoofing.”
There are maps of incidents. Israel, Cyprus, eastern Bulgaria, eastern Latvia, and Moscow show the most GPS spoofing.
Ai! So much for international travel if the trend continues.
Thanks for this insight and welcome back!
Pretty good PR bang for buck!
The Supreme Court signaled it may take up a case that could determine whether Internet service providers must terminate users who are accused of copyright infringement. In an order issued today, the court invited the Department of Justice’s solicitor general to file a brief “expressing the views of the United States.”
In Sony Music Entertainment v. Cox Communications, the major record labels argue that cable provider Cox should be held liable for failing to terminate users who were repeatedly flagged for infringement based on their IP addresses being connected to torrent downloads. There was a mixed ruling at the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit as the appeals court affirmed a jury’s finding that Cox was guilty of willful contributory infringement but reversed a verdict on vicarious infringement “because Cox did not profit from its subscribers’ acts of infringement.”
That ruling vacated a $1 billion damages award and ordered a new damages trial. Cox and Sony are both seeking a Supreme Court review. Cox wants to overturn the finding of willful contributory infringement, while Sony wants to reinstate the $1 billion verdict.
Looks like major news:
You’d expect the local newspaper investigating it and holding the responsible accountable? They can’t even spell the headline right:
You’d expect two airplanes colliding at an airport to be something that the newspaper would put on their front page? Well, no, they have more important things to report on (the Monday story doesn’t even appear in the Tue or Wed printed newspaper):
You’d think the reporter himself is trying to get the word out? Well no, he’s a political activist with bigger fish to fry:
The colluding in discounting tuition raises major antitrust concerns. One problem is that the federal financial aid scheme helps the cartel and may provide a fig leaf of exemption from antitrust laws.
Does the Logan Airport collision story belong in:
I assume that the presence of humans around feral dogs elsewhere likely reinforces some of their doggish qualities of not being threatening, etc.
Absent humans, wild dogs are free to evolve in other ways.
