“It would mean that Nato countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia,” he added. “If that’s the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face.”

Assuming that the implication here isn’t that the appropriate decision would be “Russia’s gonna pull out of Ukraine”, and it’s more “Russia is gonna use nuclear weapons”, I expect that it can be added to this list:

A Timeline of Russia’s Nuclear Threats Against the West

I believe that that would be entry #96.

Anyone that has access to starlink can track their vessel.

Regarding tracking – and I don’t know if that’s the main concern here – it won’t just be the Starlink transport itself. My guess is that they’re more worried about having devices connected to the Internet.

Let’s say that I have a smartphone. I download an app because it’s got a fun game attached. It comes up with some dialog about permissions when I installed it, which I promptly accept and forget about. This includes location permission. A month later, I get deployed, and I put my phone on the Wifi network that the nice ship IT person has set up that we all chipped in for. Yay!

So now, every now and then, maybe that app is phoning home and reporting my location using the GPS sensors in the phone. Now, maybe that game company is on the up-and-up. Maybe they’re selling data to some data broker. Maybe they’re in a country subject to legal requirements to turn over data to the government on demand. Maybe they’re securing their own systems to a level sufficient to keep out nation-state level intelligence agencies, and maybe they aren’t.

But my guess is that the Navy doesn’t want to deal with those possibilities.

John Rekenthaler, vice president of research at Morningstar (MORN+0.470%), previously called DJT an “affinity stock” — one that trades on people’s feelings and perceptions of the former president, rather than its business performance. Rekenthaler warned that Trump Media stock would “go to zero or something close to it” if Trump were to lose the presidential election in November.

These new lows come just weeks before Trump will get the green light to offload his 114.75 million shares of Trump Media, or about 60% of the company’s outstanding stock. The Republican presidential hopeful stands to make upwards of $2 billion from the stock sale — although the value of those returns depends on the share price.

I think that it’s going to go to “zero or something close to it” once Trump starts bailing out. I don’t think that it’s going to need to reach the election and have Trump lose.

That’s the one.

That was the worst batman movie.

Worse than Batman & Robin?

I mean, yes, everyone’s got different preferences and all, but…

Hmm.

Not updating the reliability comment when the URL updates seems like at least a minor problem with the bot, since someone could post a link to a reputable site and then to a non-reputable one.

Okay, the site info wouldn’t match and a user could notice that, but an attacker could make a similar URL.

I’m not sure how far I’d trust people to keep connected devices isolated to one of the official or pirate network.

I mean, the Navy can look into providing Starlink or a recreational net or a media server or something on the ship. I think that that’s legit. But I think it’s also fair that that’s gotta go through channels and have their information security people pound on it.

This is a warship. In the event of a conflict, China or whoever is going to be trying to kill the people on that ship and destroy the ship, no holds barred. Like, there are gonna be real resources put on exploiting any holes that can be found. She can’t just gamble with that.

We have, in the past, enjoyed major wins by compromising military naval communications in war. I’d rather not be on the receiving end of that.

And yeah, I totally get that that sucks if you’re stuck on an isolated ship, but that’s part of the job.

I’m okay, as an American citizen, with paying more to try to offset that. Like, in WW2, the Navy got the best meat cuts it could and stuff for subs to try make up for the fact that the submariners had rough living conditions. Maybe they can do something similar now. It said that one thing they wanted was sports scores…maybe the Navy can contract to get a dump of those broadcast, as I doubt that that’s much data. But what she did wasn’t the way to go about trying to provide a quality-of-life improvement for the ship.

The secondary explosions on those things certainly have a lot going on.

I don’t think that this ship is as significant as the impact on other ships. If Russia is going to be attacking any ships they can moving Ukrainian grain, that’s gonna make it far harder to get shipping companies to take on the risk of moving said grain by sea.

I think that it’s better than German doing a UK and exiting the EU or Schengen or something, if that’s at risk.

I am skeptical that if that kind of political risk doesn’t exist, that it’s a win, though. It’s going to increase transport costs and make it harder for businesses near the border to operate.
