Chinese scholar Updated 2025-07-16
On Wikipedia we only find the term Scholar-official. But the idea of the ancient Chinese scholar is a bit wider as a concept, and even people who were not trying to be officials could thrive to follow certain aspects of the scholar way of life.

Chomsky hierarchy Updated 2025-07-16
This is the classic result of formal language theory, but there is too much slack between context free and context sensitive, which is PSPACE (larger than NP!).
By Noam Chomsky.
A good summary table that opens up each category much more can be seen e.g. at the bottom of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata_theory under the summary thingy at the bottom entitled "Automata theory: formal languages and formal grammars".

You read the name and think: hmm, neural cords!
But then you see that his is one of its members:
Yup. That's your cousin. And it's a much closer cousin than something like arthropods, which at least have heads eyes and legs like you.

Lol it is note possible what a joke. Notably this makes it harder to have of a superior third party password manager like Proton Pass (though there seems to be an autocomplete app as an alternative path), and an ad blocker. Fuck Google.
Also, Chromium is not available on Google Play by default, you can install the apk, but you will miss updates:

Generalized Poincaré conjecture Updated 2025-07-16
There are two cases:
- (topological) manifolds
- differential manifolds
Questions: are all compact manifolds / differential manifolds homotopic / diffeomorphic to the sphere in that dimension?
- Original problem posed, for topological manifolds.AKA: classification of compact 3-manifolds. The result turned out to be even simpler than compact 2-manifolds: there is only one, and it is equal to the 3-sphere.
- for differential manifolds:Counter examples are called exotic spheres.Totally unpredictable count table:is an open problem, there could even be infinitely many. Again, why are things more complicated in lower dimensions??
How to reference a book in Wikipedia markup? Updated 2025-07-16
Their reference markup is incredibly overengineered, convoluted, and underdocumented, it is unbelivable!
Use the reference:
This is a fact.{{sfn|Schweber|1994|p=487}}Define the reference:
===Sources===
{{refbegin|2|indent=yes}}
*{{Cite book|author-link=Silvan S. Schweber |title=QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga|last=Schweber|first=Silvan S.|location=Princeton|publisher=University Press|year=1994 |isbn=978-0-691-03327-3 |url=https://archive.org/details/qedmenwhomadeitd0000schw/page/492 |url-access=registration}}
{{refend}}sfn is magic and matches the the author last name and date from the Cite, it is documented at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:SfnUnforutunately, if there are multiple duplicate
Cites inline in the article, it will complain that there are multiple definitions, and you have to first factor out the article by replacing all those existing Cite with sfn, and keeping just one Cite at the bottom. What a pain...You can also link to a specific page of the book, e.g. if it is a book is on Internet Archive Open Library with:
{{sfn|Murray|1997|p=[https://archive.org/details/supermenstory00murr/page/86 86]}}For multiple pages should use
pp= instead of p=. Does not seem to make much difference on the rendered output besides showing p. vs pp., but so be it:{{sfn|Murray|1997|pp=[https://archive.org/details/supermenstory00murr/page/86 86-87]}} CIA 2010 covert communication websites 2012 Internet Census icmp_ping Updated 2025-07-16

There are two keywords that are killers: "news" and "world" and their translations or closely related words. Everything else is hard. So a good start is:
grep -e news -e noticias -e nouvelles -e world -e globaliran + football:
- iranfootballsource.com: the third hit for this area after the two given by Reuters! Epic.
3 easy hits with "noticias" (news in Portuguese or Spanish"), uncovering two brand new ip ranges:

- 66.237.236.247 comunidaddenoticias.com

CIA 2010 covert communication websites Are there .org hits? Updated 2025-07-16
Previously it was unclear if there were any .org hits, until we found the first one with clear comms: web.archive.org/web/20110624203548/http://awfaoi.org/hand.jar
Later on, two more clear ones were found with expired domain trackers:further settling their existence. Later on newimages.org also came to light.
Others that had been previously found in IP ranges but without clear comms:
.org is very rare, and has been excluded from some of our search heuristics. That was a shame, but likely not much was missed.

CIA 2010 covert communication websites CGI comms Updated 2025-07-16
We've come across a few shallow and stylistically similar websites on suspicious ranges with this pattern.
No JS/JAR/SWF comms, but rather a subdomain, and an HTTPS page with .cgi extension that leads to a login page. Some names seen for this subdomain:
The question is, is this part of some legitimate tooling that created such patterns? And if so which? Or are they actual hits with a new comms mechanism not previously seen?
The fact that:suggests to Ciro that they are an actual hit.
- hits of this type are so dense in the suspicious ranges
- they are so stylistically similar between on another
- citizenlabs specifically mentioned a "CGI" comms method
In particular, the
secure and ssl ones are overused, and together with some heuristics allowed us to find our first two non Reuters ranges! Section "secure subdomain search on 2013 DNS Census"Some currently known URLsIf we could do a crawl search for

Later on, we've also come across some stylistic hits in IP ranges with apparent slight variations of the CGI comms pattern:
Since these are so rare, it is still a bit hard to classify them for sure, but they are of great interest no doubt, as as we start to notice these patterns more tend to come if it is a thing.
There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
