Pretty interesting stuff. About 100 whales per year are hunted, but 2023 had over double the average since whale hunting resumed in 2006.
There was a 4 year hiatus until COVID hit, then tourism slumped and the hunters resumed. Now that tourism is up, hunters are being shunned again. Its roughly 150 people that would need new work, and could easily transition to whale tourism (lawl).
The Icelandic whalers say its only a small percentage of the estimated 30,000 whales that pass through, so its nbd.
These hunters account for roughly 3% of all whales hunted worldwide, raking in about $15m a year.
Incorrect. This will better train LLMs since they can detect distinct speakers/sounds more easily and thus applying the proper metadata tags and profile information at a more accurate clip.

I was reading GitLab's documentation (see link) on how to write to a repository from within the CI pipeline and noticed something: The described Docker executor is able to authenticate e.g. against the Git repository with only a private SSH key, being told absolutely nothing about the user's name it is associated with....
When authenticating with git over SSH, the private key should be considered secret and well protected.
That means the corresponding public key that was uploaded to the git server is enough to authenticate and no username is required. However, a password protected privare key is possible and extra layers of security can be added to the authentication mechanism.
As far as resource based attacks based on public key searching, I doubt many servers have significant enough public keys on a single host to even notice. Most repos are siloed and have specific teams/individuals assigned to them, so only a small number of public keys even gets loaded.
I dont know enough about the server side mechanics to be sure, but imo the attack surface is pretty small.
Including lying, controlling narratives, committing outright fraud, controlling the fate of companies through "consultants", changing the definition of Recession, killing of whistleblowers, killing of journalists who help whistleblowers, to name just a very short few.
