I love the concept, and it's super timely of course (or about time, depending on your perspective).

I was trying to find your website to get a better understanding of it all, is this it? https://www.enhancedradar.com

If so, for most people it would be super helpful if you could put together something that explains this a bit better, with visuals, videos, testimonials, etc. I work on similar challenges in a completely different problem domain, and it takes quite a bit of material / explaining to really show what we do / what's possible, and make it feel less abstract.

Level 42 was my limit

Best way I've found to stimulate quickly, resize your window to be as small as possible, and have lots of bouncing DVDs.

Fun fact about the sequel, it comes with a sticker that says "kids" that can optionally be used to cover up the Babies label, for those children who'd refuse to pick up anything that is targeted at babies :)

That brings back fond memories. In high school (a long time ago), I coded up a client-server application in Perl/Delphi to utilize the ISDN D-channel to transmit small amounts of data by repeatedly dialing a destination, using the call initiation metadata to communicate, and then hanging up before the call got established.

In Europe at that time, every call (even local ones) started getting billed as soon as the dialed party picked up. So effectively, this allowed for fee-less small applications that didn't need much data, but that I wanted to invoke many times a day (think checking email, checking server status, IM, etc).

From his FAQ:

What does the name 3blue1brown refer to?

I'll be the first to admit this is a little odd. The logo is a loose depiction of my right eye color. It has what's known as "sectoral heterochromia", meaning there are different colors in different sectors, which in my case looks like 3/4 blue and 1/4 brown.

In the same way that many channels simply share their name with the author, a younger me thought that a more genetic signature might be neat. Plus, the channel is all about seeing math in certain ways, so it felt fitting. The name is just a reference to the logo, factoring in a desire for something deliberately weird-sounding that stands out.

Fantastic channel, and I love that he named it (and designed the logo) after his heterochromia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum

This was a fun distraction to track down...looks like the IP that this site is hosted on is in some IDS rulesets, likely this one, which Ubiquiti uses: https://github.com/vncloudsco/suricata-rules/blob/main/tor.r...

Looks harmless, but I learned something new today :)

Maybe somewhat off-topic, but visiting this URL causes my Ubiquiti setup to trigger a Security Alert about an Incoming connection from the IP that hosts plover.com related to TOR (screenshot of the alert: https://share.cleanshot.com/J1cfSd1W)

Curious if anybody else experienced this, and what's behind it?

Given that they are not necessarily the same, perhaps more accurate to say "So who crossed the finish line first?" in your article? We know who won.

As someone who has both won and lost bike races determined by photo finish, I enjoyed this article a lot. Well done sir!

Most blog posts are marketing efforts. I think the test is whether the article provides value. I have a pretty okay background in this field and found it interesting.

I filed my first claim with AirHelp a few weeks back. It’s “sent to airline” now, so we’ll see what happens.

I don’t think that I’ll hook this directly into my email, but if the one-off service works well, I’m sold.

I really like this, but am wondering if something like ZModem over SSH would make the file transfer stuff more convenient...I feel like some things have become more complicated since the BBS days.

The title of the article is "THE DARK SCIENCE OF INTERROGATION", not "Dark Side".

How do you deal with apps that have in-app preferences to toggle certain notifications on/off? Or is this just for notifications that are enabled by default?

Are you using ANCS to capture the notifications?

Alex, thanks for the detailed answer. Looks like you're building some really interesting stuff.

How are you doing the tracking across the app store? Some kind of cookie in Mobile Safari, or attributing based on time/IP address correlation?

The video brings up some interesting points. Are we looking at lots of new legislation to address things like this?

Their SSL chain includes an expired DigiCert certificate as well.

It doesn't for me.
