@kairyssdal allegedly the balloon was above the service ceiling for the F-22 gun door. Stealth is weird.

@lauren my perception is that VPNs are useful in cases where you want to protect privacy and you trust the VPN provider more than your ISP. Is that a fair assessment?

@lauren I’m thinking in terms of HTTPS external metadata. If I trust my VPN provider more than my ISP (because I’m in a country that monitors traffic, my ISP is monitoring traffic for selling on, etc), a VPN prevents the ISP from doing those things. However as you mentioned, VPN providers could also be untrustworthy and routing traffic through them could make things worse.Am I on the right track?

@clive that one worked for me. After some browser swapping (all mobile/iOS): Safari reader mode, Instapaper, and Firefox all give the teaser only. Both Safari in-app and regular Safari in non-reader mode gave the full article. Thanks for helping me!

@clive To the article: I think Smith is nowhere near Shelley’s level as a poet, but as you point out he did a better job of forcing the audience to draw the obvious parallel between Ramses and their present privileged position. Even though Shelley leaves that part unsaid, it seams reasonable that he expected his audience to be able to make that inference on their own.
