To be clear, your observation that "they changed their definition of what constitutes a sev-0" is based just on your external observation of incidents and their designations, correct? I.e. they haven't officially released a statement saying they have changed their standards

Is it possible that there has been a change in the way the data are collected/recorded that even partially accounts for this sudden onset?

I don't see how the author is arriving at this ">99% chance" purely from the numbers provided in the article. Assuming the first (banned IP) seed and the second seed are both in the range 0.4423 - 0.4358 (a stronger assumption than is justified by the example), all this tells us is that the first and second IP addresses both have seeds in a range that would contain 0.4423 - 0.4358 = 0.65% of all Mullvad users, which 0.0065 * 100,000 = 650 users. We've eliminated >99% of users as "suspects", but we haven't actually gotten >99% accuracy in identifying an individual across multiple exit IPs.

In more Bayesian thinking, the overlap in potential seeds is great evidence to think these IP addresses represent one and the same person (or Mullvad VPN account at least), but as far as I can tell, that's not what the author is saying.

Probably a foolish question, but wouldn't there be some unavoidable loss of brightness to the transmitted light, unless the structured color somehow "knows" to transmit light in one direction and reflect it in the other direction (which seems impossible given that it is printed by an inkjet)?

Is it because they didn't want Tab to be both an input and a control character? I.e. there are some cases where you can type a Tab into an input field, and there are other cases where you can't, and it's not immediately obvious which ones are which?

All the way in 2026, I would still be sympathetic to this view.

The post title on 2026-04-18 (when this HN post was made) did not include this qualification:

> Population weighted density refers to the density multiplied by the actual number of people living in each area, and more closely reflects the density that people experience.

One indication of this is that they give a different value for London's population density (9.2k / km^2) than you do.

Another casualty of the centralized internet of our time

I know the author isn't claiming this is definitive evidence, but I think it's so comically weak it is probably not worth mentioning at all.

This is also an example of a plural suffix ("-等") which the post author paints as English/Western influence (specifically "-们")
