Here is an 8 minute video that goes into more depth on how this works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FjjJha7HMI

If you are trying to steel credentials from people with power and money passengers in first class are a good target.

Where else are you going to find a cluster of people like that that are using the wifi and are going to be there for hours. It’s about as optimal as I can think of.

Even better if you are targeting a spefic company. Just pick flights out of the headquarters for that company.

If you want to attack say Microsoft pick a flight from Seattle to DC. Pretty good odds of a Microsoft high up being on the flight and wanting to use the wifi for work.

I gave up after the first 4 episodes. It was pretty but very poorly thought out. Also I found all the characters boring.

It did inspire me to reread Nikapol.

My mint is going crazy so I had a mojito. I’m thinking julip for tonight.

When I was getting my engineering degree in the senior year we had some question and answer sessions with people from industry. The guy in class who thought he was way smarter than he was asked about going directly into an MBA program after graduation.

The industry guy said it was a terrible idea. Your engineering knowledge would be 2 years out of date and who knows if you would be a good manager. He said to get a job and get some experience. If you show promise as a leader a good company will offer to put you through a MBA program and you well have the real world experience to make the best of it.

So I think there is a real use for an MBA degree but only after some real world experience in your field and showing basic team leadership. People who go straight for an MBA tend to be the those who just want to boss people around and can’t handle real work.

Combining elements of both to make something not as good as either.

Nice. I always enjoy mezcal and cynar together. The cynar tends to bring out the grassy notes of the mezcal.

The main reason for there being so many varieties is that at some point in the past the plants genome tripled. With three copies of the genome not only was there a higher chance of mutation but a mutation didn’t deleted the original dna segment as it was in the other copies.

In other news Ben Franklin steals time machine hits all the best parties throughout time.

I remember that the location of the reaction is random and happens anywhere along the beam path. So they are safer to use at long range like from orbit as the reaction is less likely to be close to the shooter.

Legal president isn’t set until an appellate level court makes a judgment.

He used to go to library conferences somewhat regulary. I meet him a few times and he was always extremely nice. Laste time I saw him was pre covid. He was looking pretty frail even then but still signing books for a line of fans.

Great. It’s going to be so nice to not have to remember to renew developer mode.

I think the rank was that indentured were newly uplifted and served their patron race for a number of generations. When a race you uplifted became a patron race by uplifting another race you’re race became a senior patron race. Senior patron races had the most power and respect.

Humanity either not having a patron or having been abandon by it’s patron would have been made a indentured race to a patron. Except we had uplifted chimps and dolphins putting us into patron status as soon as we entered galactic society.

This line jumping made us disliked by most other races. We also tended to be more like partners with or uplifted races instead of treating them like inferiors. Which made a lot of other races nervous their indentured races might start wanting the same.

Liked Sundiver, managed to get through Startide Rising, really enjoyed Uplift War. Couldn’t get through the next book.
