gpsjam.org is a very precious resource (built by @lemonodor) to visualise daily GPS interference by (likely) military jamming around the world. All these red cells are 1000s of people harmed by misleading technology.

Quick PSA: Someone is attacking Tor right now and has been for a few weeks. The attacker is spoofing the IPs of Tor Exit and Directory nodes, and blasting TCP SYN packets indiscriminately on 22/TCP- spurring a large amount of abuse complaints to hosting providers, which are then temp blocking/banning Tor infrastructure which isn't actually doing anything wrong. For the time being, I recommend all hosting providers *ignore* abuse complaints that indicate "SSH scanning" or "port scanning on 22/TCP" and originate from any of the following IPs: pastebin.com/idKU0agt This is a clever attack. I'm working with partners to triangulate the true origin of this traffic then try to get it disconnected.

@mikarv Not even sure about confidentiality. I haven't read the paper in depth, but still couldn't find out how they implement their differential privacy method. Given POI database has to be updated, surely that means resetting the privacy budget here and there?

It would be fine if economists discovered other social sciences and then changed their minds about the world. But instead, economists often pervert the analyses of other disciplines, extracting and twisting their work to fit an ideological agenda. ft.com/content/1e2584…
