members of the Kim family having a distinct advantage in this process by having the backing of the public due to their proven anti-imperialist credentials dating back to least the Japanese occupation

I agree with this. In my other comment, I pointed out that Kim Jong Un was a preferred successor because of his experience with the KPA, reported by KCNA. Kim Jong Un attended military inspections with his father Kim Jong Il.

Kim's daughter is never mentioned by named in KCNA reports, at least from what I can tell but she is frequently seen in the photos of military inspections. I've seen many people mistake that Kim's daughter for his wife in photos. I've seen his wife in photos only very rarely, but his daughter appears in photos frequently.

My inference based on this information, is that Kim Jong Un is taking his daughter to these military inspections because he wants to give her the same qualification that he had. It seems like Kim Jong Un is training his daughter to be his successor. It's not guaranteed that she will be.

You say this mockingly but Kim Jong Un was elected because he had experience leading the Korean People's Army by attending military inspections with his father. People of DPRK trusted Kim Jong Un because of his relationship with the KPA.

Since Kim Jong Un's daughter is attending the same military inspections, it could indicate that she will be his successor because she will be trusted in the same way.

I am not implying that DPRK is a monarchy. I am saying that people of DPRK would be more inclined to trust a leader who was trained by the previous leader that they liked.

This is reported by KCNA in 2011, which is a news agency in DPRK. KCNAwatch is archival service, unrelated to DPRK.

Out of curiosity, how do you think that the successor of Kim Jong Un will be chosen? Also, do you read DPRK media?

I'm going to have see this reported by DPRK media before I consider it to be confirmed. However, it has been long suspected that Kim's daughter was being trained to work as a leader because she appears in all of KJU's photos of the past 2-3 years. She attends every public appearance with Kim Jong Un.

This is much smaller than their original announcement. In December, AA said they had archived 256 million spotify tracks. A release of 2.8 million tracks only accounts for 1% of the Spotify archive.

A fraternity is a social club for men at universities, usually in the US. ASU is Arizona State University. To join a fraternity, you would have to be a university student and apply for membership. New members are typically subjected to hazing rituals. There is a stereotype that fraternity members exhibit toxic masculinity.

Clavicular is 20 years old but looks much older because he says he started taking steroid at the age of 14 and also he consumes meth. The leader of a fraternity is presumably older than 20.

Your math is off by 10x. $45,000 divided by 450,000,000 is $1 per 10,000 page views ie $0.10 per thousand. Also you should consider that website is hosting files that are fairly big. If the page size average 1MB, then that would be $0.10 per gigabyte of traffic. If page size average 2MB, then that would be $0.05 per gigabyte.

I don't know what rates usually would be considered fair.

Also the website was launched 3 months ago and it seems like he is saying that the website has had 450m in total. The bill would be for the current month probably? I would think most of the traffic came in the last month, but some of the traffic would have been on a different billing cycle.

Without more data, this is all speculation.

Image of an ore mine is a potential clue. Maybe delve rework, maybe a red herring.

It's cool that Noah Kulwin is reporting from Havana.

e/ his twitter says he came back from Cuba on January 30.
