It’s fairly easy to decrease susceptibility to this attack. #1 run your own node #2 monitor the nodes you are connected to with “sync_info” #3 ban nodes that aren’t up to current block height, strange port connections, and connections from typical spy IP addresses. There could still be a spy node connected when you send your transaction but it won’t have a very high probability of originating from any particular place
My grandfather built that railway in a supervisor capacity in Labrador. My dad was born in sept illes because of it. It was once very important but now a footnote. It moved iron ore in the 60s / 70s
Charging at home is part of the problem. They need to separately meter power for cars and increase the rate and add a road maintenance tax based on vehicle weight.
I think you need some context here, most of the time, these folks have already gone through the PERM process (at least the legitimate ones, ignoring the fraud for a second), and gotten to the next step, but USCIS will reset them back if they switch jobs. If the candidate is from India, they'll probably do this multiple times in their career because the green card wait time is very long for them. I have a colleague who's not from India, and they got through the process and even got their citizenship in 6 years, for Indians, it'll take 12 years on average to go from finishing the PERM and getting a green card (let alone applying for citizenship, which would need 3 more years)
Geocities was pretty darn cool. My very first website was there but just figuring the place out, the neighborhoods and the depth of the place was like a new adventure at the time.
I chose area51
Geocities hosted my second website, my first one was somewhere on CompuServe I think? I had a GeoCities site for quite a few years, somewhere at the top level of SiliconValley. I can't remember the 4-digit number and I've never been able to find it in any of the archives just by searching for it. (I likely deleted it some time in the early 2000's.)
As much as Bloomberg used to be a great business resource, it seems a bit bias now and the paywall is super annoying. However I’d still consider it a legitimate source.
I can say from my supply chain experience, which I can’t really disclose, other than to say it’s substantial in my world, I directly negotiate purchases from Asia (various regions) of between $25 million to $75 million per year.
If those statements are in conflict with my various NDAs then it was a typo.
Moving on, since the tariffs have hit, the deals I’ve negotiated have had substantial pre tariff discounts.
For example, a widget that used to cost me $219k before tariff now costs me $159k plus tariff.
My takeaway is yes, consumers are going to pay more as the post tariff price is higher than the pre tariff price. BUT the suppliers are taking haircuts, and they are getting more aggressive with eachother. The Chinese government doesn’t want to directly say they are going to further subsidize production costs in China due to American tariffs, but some of this is happening and may accelerate as demand further drops.
Just my humble opinion.
It all comes down to who has leverage. The difference is being squeezed by the US government to collect revenue. But I’d suspect not all items will have the same dynamics.
We have to see how this will play out. It is a real war albeit no rockets are flying around, for now.
