Experiments generate quantum entanglement over optical fibres across three real cities, marking progress towards networks that could have revolutionary applications.
Ah, finally. Now we will stop talking about, hearing about, and shoving "AI" in everything and the next new thing will be "quantum internet enabled" things.
The words of every junior dev right before I have to spend a weekend undoing their crap.
There are so many ways this can be done that I think you are not thinking of. Say a user goes to "shreddit" (or some other similar app) their comments. They likely have thousands. On every comment edit, it's quite easy to check the last time the users edited one of their comments. All they need is some check like checking if the last 10 consecutive comments were edited in hours or milliseconds/seconds. After that, reddit could easily just tell the user it's editing their comments but it's not. Like a shadowban kind of method. Another way would be at the data structure level. We don't know what their databases and hardware are like, but I can speculate. What if each user edited comment is not an update query on a database, but an add/insert. Then all you need to do is update the live comments where the date is before the malicious date where the username=$username. Not to mention when you start talking Nimble storage and stuff like that, the storage is extremely quick to respond. Hell I would wager it didn't even hit storage yet, probably still on some all flash cache or in memory. Another way could be at the filesystem level. Ever heard of zfs? What if each user had their own dataset or something, it's extremely easy and quick to roll back a snapshot, or to clone the previous snapshot. There are so many ways.
At the end of the day a user is triggering this action, so we don't necessarily need to parse "billions" of records. Just the records for a single user.
How do you do that? Do you narrow it down to a timeframe?
When a user edits a comment, they submit a response. When they submit a response, they trigger an action. An action can do validation steps and call methods, just like I said above, for example. When the edit action is triggered, check the timestamp against the previously edited comment's timestamp. If the previous - or previous 5 are less than a given timeframe, flag it. "Shadowban" the user. Make it look like they've updated their comments to them, but in reality they're the same.
We've had detection methods for this sort of thing for a long time. Thing about how spam filtering works. If you're using some tool to scramble your data, they likely have patterns. To think reddit doesn't have some means to protect itself against this is naive. It's their whole business. All these user submitted comments are worth money.
Now you need to parse billions upon billions upon billions of records. And yes, it’s billions because you need the system to search through all the records to know which record fits the parameters. And you need to do that across multiple backups for each deleted profile/comment.
This makes me thing you don't understand my meaning. I think you're talking about one day reddit decides to search for an restore obfuscated and deleted comments. Yes, that would be a large undertaking. This is not what I'm suggesting at all. Stop it while it's happening, not later. Patterns and trends can easily identify when a user is doing something like shreddit or the like, then the code can act on it.
It’s a lot of work. And what’s the payoff? A few good comments and a ton of “yes this ^” comments.

I hear some cities call the larger area as metro (Vancouver) and other cities call it greater (Toronto). Is there a functional difference? Generally speaking, is one more urbanized than the other?
The distinction between "greater" and "metro" areas can vary, but generally:
Greater Area: Refers to a broader region that encompasses a primary city and its surrounding suburbs, towns, and rural areas. This term emphasizes the inclusion of all areas that are socially and economically linked to the primary city. For example, "Greater London" includes not only the city of London but also its surrounding boroughs and smaller towns.
Metropolitan (Metro) Area: Focuses more on the urban core and its directly connected suburbs and cities. It typically includes the main city and its high-density surrounding areas that share infrastructure, economy, and services. A metropolitan area is often defined by commuting patterns and economic interdependence. For example, the "New York Metropolitan Area" includes New York City and its densely populated surrounding counties in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
While both terms describe regions that extend beyond a single city, "greater" is often more expansive and includes more diverse types of areas, whereas "metro" emphasizes the contiguous urban and suburban zones directly tied to the city.

My dude, I'm the same as you and I just keep radioing shit on Spotify and shazaming shit I hear and doing the same for TV shows and movies and tapping into the Spotify premade playlists from time to time. Works aight enough.
In juniper networking hardware. And many others. If you have the capability to create what's missing (drivers etc) it will work well. If you do not, well, there's shit tons of drivers for Linux.

My exact choices. I want to love the open source phone options but... Corporations have embraced android and iPhone. I worry about road blocks with things like duo and apps that don't permit install on rooted things etc.

Fuel economy is still better than that of the 60s and 70s despite it though. I think height has little to do with it. We need more robus bike lanes and routes, better transit systems, and most of all: get the big ships under control. I remember reading somewhere that a few of the largest ships create a significant amount of our world pollution. For any gain we may make on automobiles, the top percenters will find a way to reverse that with more of their environmentally unfriendly garbage.
I understand how drag works, I was more referring to what seemed to me as a comment on how increased height in vehicles has made fuel economy worse, when that is not exactly true. Yes it does decrease economy, especially if compared to the height of a car, but if we are referring to "used to", the newer taller vehicles are still more economical than their shorter older predecessors
Same mine just ended last week I think. Meh. Lately I've been noticing the quality issues and tricks of the junk sold on there where I am always cautious when I buy random stuff. Prime video was just a bonus, and I hardly used it anyways. This was the final nail in the coffin. I also do not want to endorse this sort of behavior so others do it.
Citation on the first paragraph 😂. Both are definitely weak points. Personally I just yolo torrents on my own IP. The only thing that happens here is an angry letter in the mail anyway. Only time I ever got one was when I redeployed Medusa and I oopsed and had public trackers enabled from the default config.
