Экосистема «Паспорт — SIM — IMEI»: технический анализ и скрытые вызовы грядущей реформы связи

В последнее время в ИТ-сообществе и медиа активно обсуждается принятый пакет законов в рамках развития систем противодействия фроду и упорядочивания импорта радиоэлектронных средств. Речь идет о создании Единой национальной базы IMEI-кодов потребительских устройств и планируемой архитектурной привязке SIM-карт к идентификаторам оборудования.

Реформа преподносится как инструмент ликвидации рынка мошеннических SIM-банков и серого коммерческого импорта. Однако, если абстрагироваться от регуляторной стороны и посмотреть на архитектуру проекта глазами инженеров, сетевых архитекторов и продвинутых пользователей, возникает множество сугубо технических вопросов.

Давайте разберем, как эта система повлияет на тех, у кого развернуты домашние сети, мобильные офисы и большой парк гаджетов, и с какими системными вызовами столкнется отрасль.

Архитектура системы: что планируется на самом деле?

Duckett and Dawson steer England to victory over Sri Lanka in tri-series farewell

  • Duckett hits superb 167 as England make 386 in Lahore

  • Dawson takes four wickets to deny Sri Lankan chase

Not this time. Sri Lanka threatened a repeat of Rawalpindi last week, and a target of 387 in Lahore was within reach. Pavan Rathnayake was the thorn again with another century, but Ben Duckett’s epic was not in vain. The left-hander struck 167 before Liam Dawson took four wickets, setting up a consolation victory for England in this tri-series.

Sri Lanka had already booked their place in Saturday’s final against Pakistan but looked on course to take this dead rubber, too. With 87 runs required from the last 10 overs, and Rathnayake on track for his third ODI hundred against England, the game looked theirs. But England’s attack kept calm and Dawson nabbed Rathnayake for 118, the last five wickets falling in the space of three overs.

Audio file appears to point finger at control centre, but there are questions around signalling and technical issues

At least 69 people died when a high-speed train from Madrid to Seville hit another train on the same track from behind near Toledo on Wednesday morning.

Both trains had been brought to a halt earlier when the signalling system failed. The driver of the state-owned Spanish train, a Renfe AVE service, was told by controllers to restart the journey, but crashed into the train in front, run by the private operator Iryo. The front carriages of the AVE train and rear of the Iryo train were destroyed and others derailed.

Liverpool beat Chelsea as three more join penalty hall of shame | Football Daily

Football Daily isn’t suggesting standards at Chelsea have slipped in recent years, but the quality of their players who miss penalties in shootouts against Liverpool certainly appears to be on the slide. Before last night, footballing royalty such as Arjen Robben, Geremi, Tammy Abraham, César Azpilicueta, Mason Mount and even goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga had all missed from the spot in four consecutive post-match deciders against Liverpool across 19 years and four different competitions. On Wednesday, a flame-haired Argentinian irritant, a striker we’d never previously heard of before yesterday and a defensive liability whose boots increasingly look to have been welded on to the wrong feet each added their names to the roll of shame. Valentín Barco, Emanuel Emegha and Wesley Fofana, take a collective bow.

The reaction when Fleetwood made the final penalty was the best example I’ve ever seen of pandemonium! – Jim Geissman

A few random thoughts from one of the Wednesday fans who saw Harry Kane’s first goal at Orient (Tuesday’s Football Daily). Main after match conversation topics were how we’d shipped four goals in the second half, our new signing Gary Madine, and those people on the balconies of the new flats who watched the game for free. Without cameras I’d have no recall of Harry Kane’s goal but funnily enough I do genuinely remember Dean Cox having a very good game. We’ve talked about it loads since, but I don’t think any of us at the time thought Kane stood out in that game. Which just goes to show. A thoroughly deserved award for a career of consistent & often under-appreciated excellence. And what a superb motto: “Work in silence. Let success be your voice” – Alan.

Alaska Governor Orders Probe Into Peltola Campaign Over Alleged Spoiler Scheme

Alaska’s Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy ordered an investigation into Democrat Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign following a report that her team helped recruit candidates to draw votes from her Republican opponent, including a man with the same name.

The announcement, posted on social media overnight, followed President Donald Trump’s call for Peltola’s prosecution and escalated Republican efforts to challenge her candidacy just days before an election that could help determine control of the Senate.

On Thursday, Trump declined to say whether Peltola should be seated if she won. “Well, you’re going to have to see what happens,” he told reporters before leaving for a rally in South Carolina. “It’s hard to believe that she could even be allowed to run.”

Peltola is challenging Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan in the Nov. 3 election. Another candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a retired teacher from Petersburg, has denied running at Democrats’ behest. Alaska’s Supreme Court upheld his eligibility for the ballot earlier this year.

The dispute intensified Wednesday after a New York Times report found that Peltola's team worked with people to recruit men named Dan Sullivan to run for Senate, as well as other candidates who could draw votes away from the incumbent.

Dunleavy said the reporting provided new evidence of an effort to mislead voters and supported state election officials’ earlier findings about Daniel J. Sullivan’s candidacy.

“Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections,” the governor wrote.

Peltola, a former congresswoman, dismissed the report, arguing that it diverted attention from issues including the incumbent Sullivan’s support for the war in Iran.

“This is just another distraction. It’s another diversion,” she said during a campaign stop in Soldotna on Wednesday. “This is all stuff to sell newspapers. This is all stuff to get subscriptions.”

A spokesperson for Peltola’s campaign, Alaskans for Mary, said in an email to TIME that it “has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign.” The campaign also said it had made no assertions in federal court about how Daniel J. Sullivan’s candidacy came about or who was involved in his decision to run. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), which was also reportedly involved in the plan, told TIME in a statement that it was “not involved with Dan J. Sullivan.”

Vice President JD Vance also backed an investigation Thursday, accusing Peltola of trying to mislead voters about her campaign’s involvement. “She is trying to steal a Senate seat from the voters of Alaska, and it’s disgraceful,” he told reporters before a campaign trip to Texas.

Trump had accused Peltola and her campaign of voter fraud in a series of Truth Social posts Wednesday, calling for her removal from the ballot and prosecution.

“It was just determined that the Dumocrats in Alaska, despite their sworn statements to the contrary, put a man named Dan Sullivan on the Ballot in order to confuse the Public with respect to Highly Esteemed Senator Dan Sullivan,” Trump posted. “This is Voter Fraud at the Highest Level, and the Dumocrat Candidate, who was involved in the scheme, Mary Peltola, should be removed from the Ballot and prosecuted—So should the FAKE Dan Sullivan. Nothing else will do!”

The Times noted that ballot-stacking tactics are generally considered legal and have been used by both parties.

At Trump’s direction, the Justice Department had already filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of the election results under specific conditions if Senator Sullivan loses, citing the potential for “voter confusion.” The department wants the results recalculated as though votes for Daniel J. Sullivan had gone to the incumbent, and certification blocked if that would change the outcome.

TIME reached out to the Justice Department for comment on how the report affects its case. Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News on Wednesday that he expected to “hear more” from the department this week as officials receive new information.

“They are cheating,” Blanche said. “They are trying to take votes away from the incumbent, not by running an election, not by running on issues, but by putting up a person with the same name, so that confuses Alaskans.”

What Peltola’s campaign reportedly did

According to the Times’ report, which was based on interviews, text messages, and documents prepared for a possible lawsuit, the Peltola campaign pursued a project known internally as “ballot composition,” which involved campaign lawyers and senior aides at the DSCC, which directs Democratic campaign strategy for Senate races nationwide.

One of the Times’ sources, Elisa Rios, Peltola’s former campaign manager who was fired during an August staff shake-up, said the operation to recruit potential spoiler candidates for the Alaska ballot began in the summer of 2025. The Times reported that Peltola’s campaign worked with a “veteran Democratic operative” named Jerid Kurtz, whom it described as having expertise in ballot maneuvering.

The Times reported that a Peltola staffer received instructions to “find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska” as possible. Kurtz reportedly found a man in Petersburg named Dan Sullivan who was open to running for Senate.

Rios said Peltola wasn’t directly involved in the project but was “definitely aware.” The Times also reported that Rios later wanted to recant her statements but did not explain why.

Alaska has a nonpartisan primary system, in which voters may choose a candidate regardless of party affiliation, and the top four advance to the general election. Voters then rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate wins an initial majority, the lowest-ranking candidates are eliminated in successive rounds and their ballots transfer to voters’ next remaining choices.

The spoiler candidate tactic isn’t new

Alaska’s other Senator, Lisa Murkowski, who endorsed Sullivan but supported Peltola years ago, issued a statement Wednesday demanding that Peltola tell the “honest truth” about the apparent ballot-stacking effort.

“While some may try to write this off as just how politics works now, ballot-stacking should have no place in our electoral process,” Murkowski wrote. “Run and win on your merits: your views, your policy ideas, and your accomplishments. By contrast, recruiting candidates to manipulate the field and influence voting outcomes is simply wrong.”

Nate Adams, a spokesperson for Sullivan’s campaign, also said in a statement that “not one player in this operation has acted in good faith with Alaska voters.”

Republicans have also used similar ballot-stacking tactics. In this year’s Alaska primary, a GOP-aligned political action committee reportedly spent money to boost left-leaning fringe candidates in an attempt to pull votes from Peltola.

When Peltola ran for re-election to the House in 2024, Alaska’s Republican Party supported an effort to help a federally imprisoned Democrat who had never lived in Alaska stay on the ballot.

A GOP-linked political action committee also spent over $1 million this election cycle to boost a third-party candidate in Ohio in a bid to undermine former Senator Sherrod Brown’s comeback bid.

In Minnesota in 2020, Legal Marijuana Now Party candidate Adam Weeks told a close friend before his death that he was recruited by unnamed Republicans to pull votes away from Democrats.

The high drama of volcanic wines
Published: 2026-10-29 13:00:44 | Created: 2026-10-29 16:40:08

Vines on volcanic soil are hard to grow and their grapes are hard-won, but it all combines to produce wines with a very particular sense of place

Good stories need jeopardy. Take The Princess Bride, one of my favourite films, which I recently introduced to my mildly terrified children. It’s a cult love story of high peril: Westley, believed dead, sets out to win back Buttercup (forced into marriage with another) on a quest involving pirates, duels, torture, a miracle and a battle of wits over a goblet of poisoned wine. There is struggle, magic and, ultimately, emotional reward. You’ll need to stay with me here: volcanic vines, too, tend to have a rocky journey, albeit with happy results for the drinker.

My ears perk up at the term “volcanic wine”, despite being less a style than a geological category. Volcanic soils take many forms – ash, basalt, obsidian, pumice, tuff – and interact with climate, altitude, water availability, grape variety and farming to produce wines with a very particular sense of place. Often, they have little in common with each other; a deep, rich nerello mascalese from Mount Etna’s north side bears little comparison to a light, leathery listán negro from Tenerife, say. And yet I’m sure there is something – perhaps it’s more a feeling than a taste – that I get from wines from volcanic terroirs. “It’s a hard thing to get across,” agrees importer Nic Rizzi of Modal Wines, “but they do have an extra tension.”

The ‘breathing space budget’ – breathing space for the government, that is | John Crace

John Healey aced the morning-after media round because his Martin Lewis measures left nothing to challenge him on

Maybe it had been one of the greatest acts of political genius after all. The day after the budget is usually the moment when things start to fall apart. When clued-up journalists and economists have had a chance to go through all the fine points the chancellor would rather everyone had missed. The forecasts that suggest everything is predicated on a wing and a prayer. The hidden unfunded tax cuts. The greater-than-expected spending commitments.

But on Thursday morning Andy Burnham and John Healey could afford themselves a sigh of relief. All had gone about as well as they could have hoped. It turns out that when you don’t make any massive tax or spending commitments, there isn’t a great deal to unravel. All there had been was a raft of small-scale interventions designed to help people with their personal finances. Call it the Martin Lewis budget. In fact, Healey and Lewis now seem unable to get through the day without spending some time with each other. They certainly can’t stop talking about one another. It’s becoming unhealthily co-dependent. The gods of small things.

Ревью кода стало узким местом: цифры Anthropic и мой опыт

Тут The Register пересказал инженерный блог Anthropic, что мае этого года компания мержила в основную ветку около 2500 изменений в день, к сентябрю уже больше 30 000. Рост более чем в 12 раз потянул за собой инфраструктуру. CI делает около 25 миллионов чекаутов в сутки, и под такую нагрузку компания строит собственную систему контроля версий. В блоге о новом хранилище кода инженеры пишут, что очень часто их роль сводилась к тому, чтобы сказать Claude «нет», потому что агенты иногда нарушают ключевые ограничения системы ради шаблона, который в этом месте не нужен.

Еще, косвенный признак дает колонка Джона Стояна на InfoWorld. Он пишет, что коммитов стало больше, а пул-реквесты двигаются быстрее, зато многие организации сообщают о замедлении деплоев. Механизм он называет следующий: циклы ревью, терпимые на человеческой скорости письма, становятся ограничением, когда разработчики с ИИ выдают в два-три раза больше кода.

[Перевод] Два git notes add параллельно: оба вернули 0, а одна заметка пропала

Две команды git notes add добавляют заметки к двум разным коммитам одновременно. Обе завершаются с кодом 0, но одна заметка исчезает: на обычной Linux-машине — в 25 запусках из 30. Фарид Закария нашёл эту гонку своей детерминированной виртуальной машиной Rewind VM и показывает, как тремя вопросами к записанным прогонам дойти от «тест иногда падает» до одной строки в notes-utils.c, которая обновляет ссылку refs/notes/commits без проверки, что её не успел изменить соседний процесс. Патч уже отправлен в рассылку git.

Thinktank says chancellor has given himself a mountain to climb after ducking big decisions in low-key speech

John Healey has paved the way for a “brutal” spending review next year after his budget failed to cover a £28bn shortfall in the public finances needed to avoid a return to austerity, according to Britain’s leading tax and spending experts.

A day after his address to the Commons, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said the chancellor had left himself a mountain to climb by ducking several big decisions in his debut tax and spending statement.

​‘He buckled. I could hear his bass ringing out ...’ The luminous rise and tragic end of US alt heroes Morphine

​Fronted by Mark Sandman​,​ the group brought enigmatic, elegant rock to post-grunge America. As lost demos surface, those closest to Sandman remember a man who grabbed on to life’s joys

It’s early 1998, and at Fort Apache recording studio in Massachusetts, Mark Sandman, the suave frontman of Morphine, is nearing breaking point. Morphine’s four enigmatic and blackly humorous albums have won critical acclaim and, lately, unexpected commercial success considering their uncompromising creative vision. After the excesses of grunge, Sandman considered their idiosyncratic blend of sophisticated storytelling, prowling slide-bass and Dana Colley’s atmospheric saxophone a kind of “palate cleanser”.

In 1997 Morphine had signed to DreamWorks Records, founded by industry bigwigs David Geffen and Mo Ostin. Now, working on Morphine’s first LP for his new paymasters – a batch of songs finally seeing release almost three decades later – Sandman was consumed by doubt over their direction. “For the first time, Morphine were trying to please someone other than just ourselves,” remembers Colley.

Claude блокирует россиян. Как использовать Claude AI в России без VPN

На Reddit пользователь рассказал о блокировке аккаунта Claude после проверки личности. По его словам, он использовал Claude Code для разработки и личных проектов.

Сервис попросил подтвердить личность. Пользователь отправил российский загранпаспорт — и сразу после этого обнаружил, что аккаунт заблокирован. Он утверждает, что живёт в Новой Зеландии по действующей четырёхлетней визе, а деньги за следующий месяц подписки с него списали всего за два дня до ограничения доступа.

Причина конкретной блокировки публично не установлена: последовательность событий сама по себе не доказывает правило «российский паспорт — автоматический бан». Но для пользователя практическая проблема уже возникла: оплаченный инструмент, на который он рассчитывал в работе, оказался недоступен.
