New comment by croes in "Strait of Hormuz Live Traffic Tracking"

The number of ships passing the strait before the war tells a different story.

Maybe Iran did something but it didn’t really bother anyone.

Trump made the strait Iran‘s only way of leverage. They will try to keep it by all means.

Desperation makes such things way worse.

LNG goes through the strait too and pipelines are an easy target for sabotage

Easier said than done.

And it’s not only oil, it’s also LNG and Qatar is one of the world’s largest LNG exporters, and virtually all of its LNG currently has to pass through Hormuz.

That would be long and expensive infrastructure constructions.

The straight wasn’t a problem before the President of Peace

They did and do prevent the death of the vaccinated and prevented spreading the infection but the virus evolved so only the protection worked but not the spreading prevention.

> extensions were supposed to be a way to let you do the things the browser didn't want you to do.

If that would have been the case, extensions wouldn’t exist.

Extension are a way to make the browser do what the browser manufacturer didn’t think or care about.

He didn’t do business with them, his customer did.

And publicly disclose that the publicly available software contains the password in plain text could have been construed as aiding a criminal offense.

He was ordered by his customer to look into logging problems.

He found the password in plain text, looked into a database he thought contains only data of his customer and found it‘s data of other customers too.
