No, it wasn't "his job". No one on the foreign relations committee meets with ambassadors

You're repeating bullshit, sounds like you're a paid troll, maybe for Claire McCaskill. Yet another member of of the "foreign relations committee" who's met with multiple ambassadors including the russian amabassador, and french, and british, and german. Oh would you look at that? I guess we'd better start an indepth investigation to see if McCaskill is actually a russian agent. It would be such a shame for the democrats if that was to happen wouldn't it....

Then again this appears to be a much bigger scandal. Especially since Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the capital police and tried to directly interfere with a criminal investigation. Oh boy, just what have the democrats really gotten themselves into...

And it's still accessible to everyone through https://twitter.com/realDonald... regardless of their blocked status, so the public does retain access to the statements.

It is not an official grievances channel as required per 1st Amendment. President's courtesy is the only reason why any replies and messages directed by public to @realDonaldTrump are read, but he's fully at liberty to disregard or block them - the official e-mail address of president@whitehouse.gov is still fully active; he has zero obligation to treat the personal Twitter account as an equivalent.

NSA wins twice:

1. Get the "Russia hacked the election" story out there. Greenwald said, "The difference between reporting based on a) anonymous, evidence-free claims & b) leaked documents, should be too obvious to have to explain". NSA probably thought, "you want leaked documents? We'll get you leaked documents. :-) " Thanks to the epiphany he provided, leaks will become the primary propaganda tool.

2. Shut down the leaks. The primary strategy here is always to find and severely punish leakers as a warning to future prospective leakers. They've just executed that exercise while losing no actual secret information.

win/win.

1. Wikileaks offered a $130,000 reward for information regarding Seth Rich's murder. It's unprecedented in their history. Why would they do that? https://twitter.com/wikileaks/...
2. The OANN requested information leading to the doctor who treated Seth Rich. Their website was immediately DDOS'd. Who most stands to gain from such an action? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...
3. This former DC Detective/PI says his "insider sources" suggest that Seth Rich was in contact with Wikileaks and that the DCPD was told to stand down on their murder investigation. Why are his sources considered any less reputable than WaPo "sources", which have a VERY well-known and demonstrable political bias and agenda? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...

It's 3,860 employees, of which 40% are in technical roles. source: https://about.twitter.com/company

Came here to say the same thing as you, though. Why does Twitter have so many engineers to run the website? It's a very popular service, yes. And they have the advertising platform, yes. And analytics, yes. But, 1500 tech people? Come on.

You're not looking in (or being shown) the right places. As one example, I'll explain the Podesta "hack". Everything I say here comes from a particular thread on Twitter, which does a far better analysis than I will attempt here, or sources linked therein.

Yes, it was phishing. I wouldn't call the phish email "super-obvious", as it matches Google's style pretty much exactly. The key detail is that the phish link went to a bit.ly site, notably created via the bit.ly API, which requires creating an account. From information leaked from that account by researchers at the time, the same phishing campaign went to about 1800 people, individually targeted but using a common framework.

It's primarily from that mass of targets that we can determine motive, and from that we can attribute who had that motive. Almost two thirds of the targets were either military personnel or authors. Of the authors, about half were experts on Russia or the Ukraine. Of the military and government personnel, two thirds were U.S.-based, 14% were linked to NATO, and a few key Syrian rebel personnel were targeted as well.

Basically, the campaign that hit Podesta also targeted a lot of other folks, and the common thread is that Russia would want intelligence on them. There was no malware involved to be dissected, and no attempt to hide the origin of the campaign. In fact, the only way the analysis was possible was because the attackers had not set their bit.ly account private before they were discovered (though they did later). If the account were private, tracing a single victim's attack would have led only to a probably-hijacked server with a .tk domain.

(end citing the Twitter thread)

Similarly, other attacks can be attributed by the infrastructure they use. Some recent attacks on election committees, for example, used C&C servers that had previously been used in other attacks against Turkish and Ukranian governments, strongly indicating that the perpetrators of all the attacks were adversarial to Turkey and Ukraine.

In other attacks where malware and persistence are involved (like the DNC hack), expert analysis usually relies on identifying precisely which APT group is responsible for the attack. Each APT typically operates independently, using their own in-house-developed tools and preferred techniques. That's perfectly reasonable, because when the goal is stealth, an attacker will use the techniques they're most comfortable with to avoid costly mistakes. Once they are identified, though, that becomes a weakness, as the same pattern can be identified in other victim systems.

It is easy to spoof identifiers. Names, strings, and addresses can all be manipulated. What is more difficult to fake are behavior patterns. When a server starts seeing access requests for files starting every day at 2AM and ending at 10AM, it's a decent indicator that somebody with a seven-hour time zone difference is poking at your systems. Yes, that can be manipulated by having the attack teams work at odd hours, but it's just another bit of data. Then there's the localization of tools, exempted targets, and even the order in which tools are deployed.

Remember: These aren't amateurs. The attackers involved are professionals, clocking in and doing a job. There are the good ones, there are the sloppy ones, and there are the managers who make stupid decisions they have to deal with, just like in any other government office. They have their routines they follow to make it through the day, and it's through analysis of those routines that analysts learn about the attackers.

Trump fires [Attourney General] Yates after she refuses to enforce his immigration ban[, which was later found to be illegal by the Supreme Court] (NYT, Jan. 30, 2017).

FTFY

I'm surprised you got this comment in before the Russian trolls started, nice.

But you did miss these from the same citation:

April or May
The FBI focuses on Kushner as a person of interest in their investigation as that effort intensifies. (WP, May 25, 2017).

May 10
Trump fires Comey, citing the recommendation of Sessions (WP, May 10, 2017). In the letter firing Comey, Trump includes a line saying that he appreciates Comey telling him “on three separate occasions” that he is not under investigation (May 10, 2017). The president later tells NBC’s Lester Holt that the firing was because “this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story” (CNN, May 12, 2017). Sources indicate that Kushner was a prominent voice behind the firing (CBS, May 17, 2017).

May 11
In a private meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Kislyak, Trump reveals classified information shared with the United States by an ally, later reported to be Israel (WP, May 15, 2017). He also reportedly disparages Comey as a “nut job” to Lavrov and Kislyak and says that he “faced great pressure because of Russia,” which was now “taken off” with the firing of Comey (NYT, May 19, 2017).

May 12
Lawyers representing Trump release a statement indicating that the president’s tax returns don’t show income from Russian sources, with a few exceptions (NYT, May 12, 2017).

May 17
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appoints former FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation

And to Anon Ivan's complaint that many of these come from the Post, the answer is that you can find the same information elsewhere too.

A quick question for everyone.

Kathy Griffin holding the bloody, severed head of the US president was all over twitter the other day.

Does this image count as hate speech? Will Kathy lose her twitter account, or will reposters of the image be banned or penalized in any way?

I'm just wondering if the content is important, as opposed to the political bias.

Case in point. Trump just announced that he would cut disability benefits https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...

I stopped reading the WSJ when they ran a news story on disability benefits. They searched federal records to find the judge in the US with the most generous records of approving Social Security Disability benefits. He was in West Virginia, which also has one of the worst economies in the US, and about the worst job prospects in the US.

Now SSD is a complicated subject. There's no precise medical or legal definition of "disability". It's pretty easy to say, "He hurt his back, so he can't work in any jobs that are locally available." In fact, there are no jobs locally available. To an extent, SSD is used as a substitute for welfare programs. That's because welfare programs have been cut back, and unlike other countries we have no support for workers displaced by technology and foreign trade deals. There are reasonable arguments on both sides.

Instead of giving the reasonable arguments on both sides, as the WSJ used to do (and as the NYT did in that example), this post-Murdoch hit piece was an attack on the disability judge.

In the old days, I would have thought, "Well, these are journalists I can trust, maybe they've got something here." Now I just think, "It's Murdoch's pro-Trump propaganda, I don't have time to check it out. https://twitter.com/ziobrando/...

That's the whole point of wearing gym clothes. I'm not going to wear a Speedo, jump on the treadmill and splatter everyone in a ten-feet radius.. Skinny ass guys do that all the time — and then not wipe down the treadmill. It's a disgusting habit. Just as bad as skinny ass guys who scream like pregnant women while lifting weights.

It's not about the man-vs-machine showdown that the media sells. Go is about our quest to understand the game, individually and collectively.

AlphaGo is exciting because it is a breakthrough in our understanding of the game. Playing against a stronger opponent has always been a great method to improve your own game. You lose, you study your loss, you repeat. That's something every go player appreciates, but top professionals can't do that. They are the strongest so they have trouble finding stronger opponents... until now. In about 70 public games played AlphaGo has already made an impact on top level play and on our collective understanding of the game. What's to come is even more exciting.

I think I speak for every go player when I say we'd love to get beat by AlphaGo every single day.

For those of us watching from the sidelines, it was a fantastic match, an outstanding performance by Ke Jie (the human). Up to a certain point in the middle-game he played perfectly by AlphaGo's own evaluation. See here https://twitter.com/demishassa...

FYI, "LOL" is a tell for cognitive dissonance, of course the rest of your comment just confirms it.

Sorry if I were condescending. I also had no idea what the CNN reports these days (stopped watching since they went full-retard mode on Trump back in August 2016. Occasionally tune it for 2 mins to verify they are still in it).

Here is the actual statement that Israel made in response to the liberal "leak" hysterics. Educate yourself if you can.

Do you agree, or not, that Russia, Israel, Syria, and now possibly the US of A are fighting on the same side?
Do you therefore admit that, the entire libtard premise of "zOMG Russia Leaks" is full of shit?

If his twitter is any indication, I'm not sure what decent material there was to steal.

Except for creimer our very own resident troll billionaire who earns $55B+ despite being a stupid lazy fat American slob. So you see it's not true there are no tech jobs for Americans. There is one token tech job for one token American and that job is filled by the big fat ass of creimer.
