There seems to have been a recent uptick in phishers using goo.gl URLs. Yes, even without new URLs being accepted by registering expired domains with an old reference.
Our leading theory is that the Great Firewall inside China is manipulating DNS responses due to blacklisted or blocked keywords. This affects any system that has to pass through the Great Firewall before it reaches the end-user/client. Most of the keywords relate to VPN software, proxies, adult sites, file and text sharing and torrents. This is consistent with the kinds of material that China is known to censor within its borders.
You're technically correct, but what's the point of this statement? Is the next reply supposed to be "then the bitcoin billionaires will just put up 100s of satellites"?
This reads a bit like when, as a child, we'd discuss who would win in a fight, Goku or Superman.
Sure, but we're not talking about Super Heroes, but existing entities like China, who only just six months ago shut down all Bitcoin mining inside it's borders in less than a month's time (and who also has anti-satellite capabilities).
I doubt bitcoin 'billionaires' would put more up, because liquidating that much bitcoin would crash their market (considering >70% of trades on exchanges are wash trades) and require them to go against tragedy of the commons.
I'm sure you'd agree that saying that "China did something" absolutely does not imply that any other country on the planet is able to do pull off the same thing.
No, I don't agree, because other developed nations have anti-satellite capabilities as well.
You've either missed the point or are intentionally ignoring the context, because "China did something" is actually "China successfully shut down bitcoin mining inside it's borders and has the capabilities to shut down these satellites if it chose to do so".
That's not debating super heroes or even saying other countries will do it. If China saw these as a problem, they will likely deal with them.
It's probably politically easier to have agents drive around neighborhoods looking for suspicious antennas and disappearing people who have them or know how to build them. But still that is much more difficult than blocking access at the ISP level.
Ah, true... Given the double criteria for that (lack of pawn movement) it extends things a bit, but there would still be a finite number of moves.
However on an info it's chess board there would always be a unique board state possible. That doesn't by any means refute your point, only add a twist to things.
