    Mate, everyone knows who he is. His wife was fired from her federal job over this. He gave an interview with his real name. The feds can know where basically anyone is if they want to. If taco ordered the secret service to carry out an assassination, very little could be practically done to stop them. No one has real protection against law enforcement. Right now they're still staying within lines in a half-assed manner so they don't get pushback from stale liberals and (sometimes) antiauthoritarian snowflake regressives.

    Wire Arc DED Additive Manufacturing has taken a back seat to Laser Metal Powder Bed Fusion for a while now, driven a lot by the air sector. But it is great seeing industry shift it's focus to Wire Arc. Larger scale components and better established feedstock supply (welding wire) with a lower cost of entry for equipment is an appealing proposition for many manufacturers. There is still the issue with qualification of additive parts. Slight issue with the article is with the supply of Ti64. Bringing the production capability in country doesn't fix the supply issue for high quality feedstock that is predominantly imported from China, Ukraine etc.

    Most major content producers have agreements with YouTube such that as their content is discovered, monetization all goes to the rights holders. In general, this seems like a pretty good idea, and better than copyright maximalism. However, I’ve had original works of my own “monetized by rights holder” because they used my work (with permission) in one of their products, and so now have co-opted all expressions of my work on YouTube. So the system isn’t perfect.

    Sure, the internet is more practical, and the odds of being caught in the time required to execute a decent strike plan, even one as vague as: "we're going to Amerika and we're going to hit 50 high profile targets on July 4th, one in every state" (Dear NSA analyst, this is entirely hypothetical) so your agents spread to the field and start assessing from the ground the highest impact targets attainable with their resources, extensive back and forth from the field to central command daily for 90 days of prep, but it's being carried out on 270 different active social media channels as innocuous looking photo exchanges with 540 pre-arranged algorithms hiding the messages in the noise of the image bits. Chances of security agencies picking this up from the communication itself? About 100x less than them noticing 50 teams of activists deployed to 50 states at roughly the same time, even if they never communicate anything. HF (more often called shortwave) is well suited for the numbers game. A deep cover agent lying in wait, potentially for years. Only "tell" is their odd habit of listening to the radio most nights. All they're waiting for is a binary message: if you hear the sequence 3 17 22 you are to make contact for further instructions. That message may come at any time, or may not come for a decade. These days, you would make your contact for further instructions via internet, and sure, it would be more practical to hide the "make contact" signal in the internet too, but shortwave is a longstanding tech with known operating parameters.

    Turns out dry sarcasm doesn't come across well in text form, if only there was a way to indicate it

    Internet access should be a utility like electricity and water until all three, along with housing, medicine, and food, can be free to all.
