Fine, but given ... everything, it seems like you could do some smaller system with channels in the bricks for conduction, it's the hot air that bothers me, that's not great to try to use for conducting energy everywhere, you get turbulent effects.

Ok, they're claiming 98% rt efficiency.
I don't think we have 98% rt efficiency in anything, ever. That's miraculous. Batteries are around 92% at best? Pumped hydro is 85% or so.
That even sounds high for raw carnot efficiency.
I mean, if so, wow, that's awesome, and I don't really doubt their 1% daily decay, that seems attainable.
But 98% rt? I'm still skeptical.
I would think molten metal would be more effective for this, molten sodium or lead or something? Maybe some kind of Tin/Lead eutectic like old solder?
Firebricks just seem inefficient somehow, particularly since the heat isn't going to be uniform, while molten metals or salts can circulate and convect the heat more efficiently than... air.
Yeah but neither was Kadyrov.
Yeah ok, I'll give you that.
But Swedes can have fun, they're just not used to it, it's slowly creeping in via the internet.
Wife is a square-head, we're moving there, they are just ents, slow to get started.
They also have 100x we many executions as we have, probably closer to 1000x.
To absolute morons who make sure it comes with a bed cover they never take off.
It's been a slow-motion ethnic cleansing for a long time now.
Bibi needs to be in jail, he uses the absolute worst of Israel to protect him from what he deserves.
Hopefully once he's out of power we can consider doing something, but so long as his cronies are around, it's always more profitable to bulldoze their way to a Greater Israel rather than actually try to have any peace.
I'm sorry, what were you expecting here?
This is more or less the best cease fire we could think of for the short term:
They demanded the hostages back (guessing most are dead by now).
Gaza disarmed? I don't even know what that means, but whatever.
What is the magic other term you're planning to get? A pinky promise to not do it again?
2 things:
- This seems to be a specific attack for their IM protocol if the entry node was compromised, and could be placed nearby the client. To make this much easier, you'd want to compromise both the entry and exit nodes (in this case exit node is TOR native, so it's more like internal node).
This has never been unknown, this is one of the fundamental attack vectors against TOR, the IM protocol seemed to make correlation easier due to its real time nature.
They added a protection layer called Vanguard, to ensure the internal exit nodes were fixed to reduce the likelihood that you could track a circuit with a small number of compromised internal exit nodes. This seems like it would help due to reducing likelihood of sampling.
- TOR has always been vulnerable, the issue is the resources needed are large, and specifically, the more competition for compromising nodes the more secure it is. Basically now the NSA is probably able to compromise most connections, and they wouldn't announce this and risk their intelligence advantage unless there was an extremely valuable reason. They definitely wouldn't do so because a drug dealer was trying to make a sale. Telling normal law enforcement basically ends their advantage, so they won't.
Other state actors might try, but they're not in the same league in terms of resources, IIRC there are a LOT of exit nodes in Virginia.
tl;dr - The protocol is mostly safe, it doesn't matter if people try to compromise it, the nature of TOR means multiple parties trying to compromise nodes make the network more secure as each faction hides a portion of data from the others, and only by sharing can the network be truly broken. Good luck with that.
That's bullshit, it's fun just in different ways.
Sweden is coffee and biscuits while the US is cocaine with meth as a treat.
The system is all over the place, it's safe for them to be drones, but if they show any potential they get fired up the railgun of intense academics like you can't believe, they have some absolutely incredible engineers and scientists, and as a percentage of their population it's almost unheard of.
The downside is after school they tend to leave for the US or elsewhere, the actual job opportunities for world-class scientists and engineers in Sweden are decent, but their yield of talent far, FAR outstreteches the economic capacity to carry them.
They have the talent pool of West Germany with the population of, well, Sweden (10.5m, it's tiny).
They use hot air warmed by gas burners.
Since we're using electricity here, and this was mentioned in the study linked elsewhere, they used ceramic heaters.
