Slashdot Mirror

I think they're both important. The shit in the emails is a big deal. But if there is a nation-state sponsored Watergate going on, that's a big deal too.

Vice.com makes a pretty convincing case, but it could be some kind of next-level false flag too. But even if it is, "Guccifer 2.0" is still bullshit.

Maybe there's a thread-the-needle version of reality where there actually is a lone hacker, but reading CrowdStrike's original report about multiple Russian intrusions, it's hard to read that (written before Guccifer 2 showed up) and come away thinking it's that simple...

This can't be real. Either you are fibbing or have misunderstood something? Or is Utah really that fucked?

Actually it does look like I fell hook line and sinker for a parody site (and sites repeating it) with that "homogayness" quote! (I fucking hate parody sites.) I was thinking it was separate legislation from SCR 9 but it's not. (After living here for a couple years, nothing surprises me anymore. People asking me "so where do you go to church?" at technical interviews, pairs of women walking down the street wearing funny dresses and pushing pairs of strollers with similar-looking kids, etc.)

SCR 9 is still hilarious:

WHEREAS, pornography is creating a public health crisis; WHEREAS, pornography perpetuates a sexually toxic environment; WHEREAS, efforts to prevent pornography exposure and addiction, to educate individuals and families concerning its harms, and to develop recovery programs must be addressed systemically in ways that hold broader influences accountable; WHEREAS, pornography is contributing to the hypersexualization of teens, and even prepubescent children, in our society; WHEREAS, due to advances in technology and the universal availability of the Internet, young children are exposed to what used to be referred to as hard core, but is now considered mainstream, pornography at an alarming rate; WHEREAS, the average age of exposure to pornography is now 11 to 12 years of age; WHEREAS, this early exposure is leading to low self-esteem and body image disorders, an increase in problematic sexual activity at younger ages, and an increased desire among adolescents to engage in risky sexual behavior; WHEREAS, exposure to pornography often serves as childrens' and youths' sex education and shapes their sexual templates; WHEREAS, because pornography treats women as objects and commodities for the viewer's use, it teaches girls they are to be used and teaches boys to be users; WHEREAS, pornography normalizes violence and abuse of women and children; WHEREAS, pornography treats women and children as objects and often depicts rape and abuse as if they are harmless; WHEREAS, pornography equates violence towards women and children with sex and pain with pleasure, which increases the demand for sex trafficking, prostitution, child sexual abuse images, and child pornography; WHEREAS, potential detrimental effects on pornography's users can impact brain development and functioning, contribute to emotional and medical illnesses, shape deviant sexual arousal, and lead to difficulty in forming or maintaining intimate relationships, as well as problematic or harmful sexual behaviors and addiction; WHEREAS, recent research indicates that pornography is potentially biologically addictive, which means the user requires more novelty, often in the form of more shocking material, in order to be satisfied; WHEREAS, this biological addiction leads to increasing themes of risky sexual behaviors, extreme degradation, violence, and child sexual abuse images and child pornography; WHEREAS, pornography use is linked to lessening desire in young men to marry, dissatisfaction in marriage, and infidelity; WHEREAS, this link demonstrates that pornography has a detrimental effect on the family unit; and WHEREAS, overcoming pornography's harms is beyond the capability of the afflicted individual to address alone: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of the state of Utah, the Governor concurring therein, recognizes that pornography is a public health hazard leading to a broad spectrum of individual and public health impacts and societal harms. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature and the Governor recognize the need for education, prevention, research, and policy change at the community and societal level in order to address the pornography epidemic that is harming the people of our state and nation.

At least all this stuff is stated in secular terms, but seriously, WTF? Meanwhile they have crap like this going on.

As President Jimmy Carter cut the B-1 bomber program for a new and very superior but also very secret technology called "Stealth." Because it was secret no one was allowed to tell the public. As a presidential candidate Reagan knew about "Stealth" and that it was the reason for the B-1 cutbacks, but he attacked Carter over the B-1 cutbacks anyway. Carter couldn't come out and say why. Well he could have, but he would have been an asshole. Carter was no asshole. As for the other guy... https://www.vice.com/read/list...

Sorry. It just felt like a perfect response.

Why ask the operators for cooperation when you can get that data yourself? Or ask the NSA for some help. Sometimes, when you're under investigation, it's also fun to spy the people investigating you

But first of all, did anyone really expect "him" to come out and admit that this is merely a front for the Russian intelligence services running an active measures operation against a presidential candidate they don't like to aid the one they do? That's like expecting from Snowden come out and explain his relations to the FSB prior to boarding a plane to Moscow and especially afterwards.

The man claimed to have easily discovered a 0-day in a proprietary and not public piece of software very likely written in C# and JavaScript using IDA and WinDbg.

That's not sleep deprivation... not punishment

http://www.rollingstone.com/po... "There were several guards charged with what they called "Manning Watch" and whose instructions were to check on Manning every five minutes, 24 hours a day. Constant observation and frequent interruption were well-worn tactics widely used on detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as at Guantanamo. "It's sleep deprivation, basically," says Brandon Neely, a former Army MP who was posted at Guantanamo. It was also broadly acknowledged, and condemned, by human rights monitors, as a form of punishment."

https://www.vice.com/read/the-... "Sometimes, said Tankersley, POI status inmates were found snoozing. "And we catch them and wake them back up," he said. "There's basically nothing to do." Any time Pfc. Manning had to be moved from his cage, the entire facility was put in lockdown."

Yes. It's sleep deprivation. To be fair, there were times where he was given a sleeping period:
"He was forced to sleep from 1 PM to 11 PM, naked, and was allowed to do so only when facing his lamp."
Ah yes, forcing someone to sleep facing a lamp--clearing a measure undertaken by those who care deeply about his health.


not torture.... not punishment

He was also detained for several hundred days without trial--a clear violation of the sixth amendment, but again, slavish defenders of government iniquity such as yourself never seem to find any problem with that part.

Solitary confinement IS torture, and it is often used as such despite any excuses of suicide watch. In this case, it seems that the decision to put Manning on suicide watch three separate timnes was entirely arbitrary, and questioned by more than one party:

http://www.courthousenews.com/... "Chief Warrant Officer-4 James Averhart, the brig OIC, or Officer in Charge, put Manning on suicide risk, or SR, three times, despite the protests of his prison psychologist, Capt. William Hocter."

"In one instance, Averhart called for suicide watch shortly after having a private conversation with Manning, who he said had been "disrespectful" to him... Averhart asserted to have no detailed memory of the encounter, but remembered that Manning asked why he was yelling at him."

"... On Wednesday, the chief of corrections for the Marines, CW5 Abel Galaviz, said placing Manning on this status broke regulations established by the Secretary of the Navy, known as the SecNav instructions."


This guy put Manning back in solitary because Manning was being "disrespectful" by asking why Averhart was shouting. On top of this already being an example of torture, that detail totally blows away your claim that none of this is punishment. Again, I'm sure none of this bothers you! You'll defend all treatment of manning no matter what, because you are scripted as such. Too bad that script is now gathering cobwebs.

the real reason they don't decommission nuclear plants is there is no money to shut them down and clean up the mess.

Nuclear power plants are being shutdown all the time, and those projects are fully funded. You're spouting massive ignorance.

Here's a few more recent ones:

That graphic is actually 2.5 years old... Several "at risk" plants have already decided upon shutdown. And more...

Solar and wind are much cleaner.

The current Slashdot is under the strict control of Islam and the moslems

Whatever "moslems" are, they haven't deleted your comment or removed your ability to post more, so it seems Slashdot will be fine under them.

The comment itself talked about the danger of criticizing moslems in Europe

From the link you provided in your linked comment:

Matthew Doyle, reportedly a partner in a London-based talent and PR agency, posted a tweet on Wednesday morning saying: "I confronted a Muslim woman yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said 'nothing to do with me.' A mealy mouthed reply."

Frankly, I'm okay with police arresting jackasses who harass random people for things that have nothing to do with them. It's kinda what police are for.

In Europe and Canada criticizing the Jews is of no consequence. In fact the Jews have become their standard boogieman to be attacked

But if you ever dare to criticize the moslems, or Islam, you will get into trouble

Feel free to look up Arizona on your own.

Our development from "duh, me make fire" to "duh, remote control is broken, need new TV" took about 10,000 years. And we're still in no position whatsoever to fly to any other star than our own. Hell, even reaching the next planet is something we've been working on for half a century now.

All of the time spans you give here are inconsequential when compared to the age of the universe. Even if it took us 10 million years to go from current technology to quick interstellar travel, if life is not unique to Earth then we are either the first sapient species or the only one. 10 million years is simply not a long time at this scale.

Star systems started forming within a billion years of the big bang (source), over 13 billion years ago, and it took less than 5 billion years for life to reach its current state on Earth since its creation. That leaves over 8 billion years for potential sapient civilizations to emerge before us. One physist claims it would take 5 - 10 billion years to colonize the entire known galaxy even with current propulsion technology.

We may find out life is so rare we are either the only ones or among only a few dozen inhabited planets. But if life is common at all, it is very likely there are intergalactic civilizations which have been around for billions of years. That is what leads many people, myself included, to believe life is an extreme rarity.

What makes us think that anyone else in this universe is actually so far ahead of us to be able to fly about between the stars AND have the hubris to assume that someone this advanced would actually want to have anything to do with us?

We have people on our planet devoting their careers to researching earth worms, so it doesn't take hubris to believe that out of potentially near infinite civilizations there may be some who have scientists interested in studying pre-interstellar civilizations like us.

Trump also suggested creating a government list of which residents of the country are Muslim. That’s some scary shit. Until ... you realize the government already has that list. You know they do, right?

Adams, whose cartoons seemed to find nuance in everything, ignores the nuances of the "Leader" of a country announcing that the government will now create a list of members of a specific religious group. I'm sure that you are familiar with the term "chilling effect". While our intelligence services may know who is what, Trump's suggestion is tantamount to announcing that henceforth Muslims will be required to wear a yellow star-in-crescent on their clothing. I don't think that he is tone deaf on the issue, which leaves the much less savory conclusion.

As for why his violent reactions haven't previously made the news, I'd be willing to bet (and I am not a gambler) that the victims have been carefully paid off with instructions to remain silent or be financially ruined afterwards. His former wife Ivana accused him of violently attacking and raping her after a "scalp reduction" surgery he had went wrong:

https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/he-raped-me-when-donald-trump-was-accused-of-sexual-assault

"Your doctor fucking ruined me!" Donald allegedly yelled, before tearing out Ivana's hair "by the handful, as if he is trying to make her feel the same kind of pain he is feeling." ... He rips off her clothes and unzips his pants. Then he jams his penis inside of her for the first time in more than sixteen months.

Ivana is terrified. This is not lovemaking. This is not romantic sex. It is a violent assault. She later describes what The Donald is doing to her in no uncertain terms. According to the versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, 'He raped me.'

And then there's that little thing about law and order loving Trump's selection of an array of mob (Mafia) run construction associates:

http://www.newsweek.com/truth-about-trump-mob-454053

To help build his first big Manhattan project, the Grand Hyatt New York on East 42nd Street, Trump had chosen a notorious demolition company secretly owned in part, according to the FBI, by a top Philadelphia mobster who doubled as crime lord of Atlantic City.

To pour concrete for the new hotel, Trump picked a firm run by a man named Biff Halloran who was convicted a few years later for his role in what prosecutors dubbed a mob-run cartel that jacked up construction prices throughout the city.

For the carpentry contract, Trump settled on a Genovese family–controlled enterprise that was central to another mob price-fixing racket, as found by a subsequent federal probe.

So, yeah, not that I want to be alarmist, but your "mild-mannered" Trump may turn out to be "so nice, so polite, so quiet" like the next door neighbor who is found to have a freezer filled with human body parts. I hope that's not the case, especially if he becomes our next president, but I don't expect it to turn out well at all.

They ran an experiment many years ago in Canada, called Mincome. Some of the results:

"Doctor and hospital visits declined, mental health appeared to improve, and more teenagers completed high school."

http://motherboard.vice.com/re...

Yes, a slight decrease in people in the workforce, but that were the young generation that attended school longer and mothers that stayed home longer to take better care of the children.

If those are be the results on a largest scale we've tried it so far then I don't see the problem (yet).

However just like with this experiment those people knew that the money would end at a certain set time, that has a significant effect on what most people do with it.

Hey stupid - there's been plenty of proof in the last few weeks. Start here. They were very aware of him.

Last year some jackass named John Greenewald Jr. ripped off a small open source software project designed to data-mine FOIA websites that scan and digitize historical documents. Amusingly the public reaction was completely reversed from how people are flipping out about the OkCupid data theft.

Despite the fact that this loser of a human being, John Greenewald, ripped off hundreds of thousands of documents, and never uttered a single word about where he got the data, or how he ripped off an open source software team that had been developing the project for years, nor did he give attribution to the company that did the actual work of scanning the documents—and made them available for free no less. On top of all that this complete parasitic loser even had the balls to try monetize Fold3's work. Yet hilariously people still have the temerity to attack Fold3 and Ancestry.com claiming the company was somehow in the wrong for forcing this attention-whoring sideshow clown to remove the data from his website or face a lawsuit.

The sad truth is people don't care about the actual morality of data theft. They only care about whether or not the data is personally beneficial to them, and if it is, well, ... then it's okay.

I also posted to their Facebook page, asking "Any reason the Philly PD is monitoring license plates at your convention center during the WCRN 2016? http://motherboard.vice.com/re..."

This weekend is the 9th World Congress for NeuroRehabilitation that this convention center. Looking over their exhibits and speakers, why are the polices needing to record the plates of professionals involved in "neurorehabilitation, which includes physicians, physical and occupational therapists, psychologists, speech therapists, rehabilitation engineers, basic neuroscientists "? Did the Philly police confuse them for some MAPS type of organization, thinking their going to be doing drugs at the convention? WCRN isn't even a US orgainzation, but is out of the UK, their main organizer (Kenes International Organizers) is out of Switzerland.. Why are the police recording plates of doctors, scientists, and people from a country we consider a close ally?

Anyway, I just used their Contact Us page and sent them a message: "Did you know that the Philadelphia Police Department has been monitoring license plates from an illegally marked vehicle at your WCNR 2016 meeting? Thought you might want to look into this. http://motherboard.vice.com/re..." If they respond I'll post a follow up, maybe this can cause some international scandal (laughs manically while wringing hands).

Part of the exchange is redacted, so the context of the emails is unknown, but at one point, Sullivan tells Clinton that aides "say they've had issues sending secure fax. They're working on it."

Clinton responds, "If they can't, turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure."

Well, no fucking wonder the classified emails that Hillary! saw on her illegal server weren't marked!

BlackBerry has two products. One for businesses and other large organizations called BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) that gives them their own private server with their own secret key and one for everyone else where BlackBerry controls the server and has and apparently shares the key.

Ah, this post seems to have found the weasel-wording that resolves the contradiction between the Canadian government saying that Canadian police have had BlackBerry's global decryption key since 2010, and Blackberry saying: "BES continues to be impenetrable -- also without the ability for backdoor access"

OK. So, the police do have the backdoor to the ordinary Blackberry systems, but they have a separate system BES for businesses, which (they say) isn't backdoored.
