You're vindictive

No, my desire is not to hurt people but rather to make them recognize the truth. It's already been shown to be effective.

and worse, wishing for confirmation of your bias.

Climate change is just as real as gravity. You can deny the effect it has all you want but it will not change the consequences.

We'll be hearing about the oceans heating faster then expected for decades.

Unfortunately, we will hearing about it for decades, because it's true.

Based on... what?

If you looked at the link given in the summary, you would have seen the statement "The central conclusion of the study — that oceans are retaining ever more energy as more heat is being trapped within Earth’s climate system each year — is in line with other studies that have drawn similar conclusions."

So, yes: the post you are replying to is accurate, this is not new; their conclusion was in line with previous studies. The main difference is that they were using a different technique based on different measurements to do their analysis.

The authors have already admitted that their paper and math lack credibility.

Close. The authors have already admitted that their uncertainty analysis was inaccurate, enough that the uncertainty does not support their conclusion.

Good for them. Acknowledging flaws is key to science.

Maybe somebody else will come along and support their conclusions. If that were to happen, we'd call it "science".

Exactly. That is how science is done; different groups analyzing and replicating earlier work.

If they were to dump Pelosi, I would grant there's a chance for something good. Sadly, it doesn't look likely. Once again we are just hearing the same old bullshit about loyalty to party regulars. The blind support for this is just as bad as that for the GOP. You all are mirror images of each other. And yet the denial is so powerful. This isn't politics, it's pathological tribalism.

-fusta

pretty much all media in Russia is US-controlled or -influenced.

LOL! Yeah, that's why reporters that a critical of Putin keep "falling" out of windows. A more likely scenario is that Putin is a brutal authoritarian who chafes at the prospect of exposure.

There is no need for ballot stuffing. Any elections of such scale are merely publicity circus, and this applies to all countries, not only Russia. People don't have enough information on who to vote for, and have no say over which choices end up in ballots in the first place.

The US has primaries which decide who's on the ballot. Don't confuse the US with Russia where Putin runs disinformation campaigns to keep people off the ballot.

Sure, there is a segment of the US population who has been susceptible to disinformation from dishonest "news" outlets which is why we need better laws to keep the news truthful. Currently efforts to pass such laws are being blocked by the party that benefits from these disinformation efforts.

However, to say all people are being disinformed is just stupid because there are so many separate efforts by people to get real information out to the public that it could never really be stopped in even a slightly free nation. This is why Putin's ballot stuffing is needed, to suppress those who voted for another candidate as their efforts would inspire more people to take part in democracy.

or the stock market crashes and takes out your investments. Or your company outsources your job in your 50s and nobody'll hire you. Or any one of a dozen things out of your control happen.

But it's a good thing we didn't gut the social safety net and that nobody is doing anything that could impact your plans to retire.

I'm sure knowing all that is a real load off the old minderooni.

You cannot trust paperless voting systems. You cannot simply take blind faith in Kemp's election result that Kemp certifies that Kemp won. Because as long as he holds power, the voting machines will remain unauditable without a paper trail.

Interesting premise about paperless voting systems... I wonder why the Democrats that control the Maryland legislature forced counties to switch to paperless voting systems? The county I lived in had a very nice paper ballot system with electronic tabulation when I moved there in 1996. It was a "gold standard" for easy counting yet manually verifiable after the fact. It was replaced by a paperless system mandated by the Democrat-controlled legislature; this system continues to be problematic today https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/maryland-cant-protect-its-elections/2018/07/20/ee64beb0-89ce-11e8-a345-a1bf7847b375_story.html?utm_term=.10e6235436cc.

I agree that the paperless voting systems can't be trusted. If Georgia's is seen as being used to keep Kemp in power, who is Maryland's keeping in power?

I don't mind if there is some evidence to back it up

There is. Twitter CEO admitted prevalence of Left among the employees, to the point, where the Right-minded do not feel safe expressing their views.

He then proclaimed, that "need to remove our bias from how we act and our policies and our enforcement" — which is like a Boston referee promising to not favor Red Sox...

So, yes, Twitter are biased, that's a fact. It is also a fact, that it is legal for them to have such a bias.

Finally, I think it is self-evident, that they should not be biased — both for reasons we have the First Amendment in the first place (the Amendment does not apply to them, but the reasons do), and because it hurts their business. And here Jack Dorsey agrees with me, thankfully...

when you're objectively wrong it's important to keep pushing an opposing narrative. The American right wing figured this out in the 80s.

At the end of the day strip away the nonsense about "Culture War" this and "PC that" and you're left with what really matters: economics. And when it comes to economics the media is united on the side of the right. Low taxes (for capital, labor can still pay taxes, I mean, somebody's gotta pay 'em, amiright?), minimal or no regulation, free trade when it's good for profits (but not for pharmaceuticals, that would be a job killing regulation). The right own Sinclair who own just about every TV station in the country. They own Fox news. Hell, they own CNN and MSNBC if you pay attention to economics instead of social issues.

I guess it bothers me to see the right wing playing the victim card when they've got all 3 branches of gov't, billionaire elites and virtually all the media that matters on their side. What bother's me is that they can peddle this nonsensical persecution complex and get away with it. It's Orwellian Double think, exactly the kind of thing they're supposed to be against...

All these computers are just fancy hammers

This is my new favorite thing to tell people. As far as the "deleting evidence" thing goes, Facebook probably still has it and has simply rendered it no longer accessible by the public. The problem with seedy shit online fueled by human desires is that when you try to ban it, it doesn't go away, it just disperses and hides better. This is the "going dark" problem no one considers when they try to do things like shut down the prostitution ads on Backpage. Backpage became a huge hub for prostitution which meant it was also a huge hub for exploitation of human trafficking victims since those people will inevitably be exploited in some way. When ads were publicly posted, people and patterns emerged. Trails and trends could be followed by police very easily. Actual victims could be found and rescued. Then Congress showed up and decided that this big exploitation station had to be shut down, despite the value of the marketplace as a resource for law enforcement to find real victims and the uncomfortable (to certain prudish cretins in power) fact that most prostitutes are not victims of anything other than the damage that prostitution illegality brings about. Prostitutes who previously used the site are now at far greater risk of harm.

In that respect, the deletion of these images from Facebook makes it a lot harder to track down people that are harming children. Never mind the fact that tons of content which isn't even objectionable had to have been nuked in the process. All Facebook is doing is bragging about their "kill count," and to hell with anyone who was "killed" inappropriately, and to hell with anyone who might have been rescued had some of what was "killed" remained accessible without begging for a law enforcement backdoor to try to fish for it. Their hammer is a 20-pound sledge, and hammers do not care what nails think.

It can be hard to follow threads on Slashdot...

I conveniently quoted it for you in my reply. It was the first sentence. You chose to ignore the direct refutation and instead wanted to move the goalposts. Here, let's do it again:

On the other hand I don't think the idea that it's not okay to be white is in any way common or visible in popular culture etc.

You're a liar. There would never be an "investigation" if somebody posted, "It's okay to be Black|Hispanic|Jewish" signs.

People absolutely are complaining back lack of diversity in China, for example. Right now the front page of BBC News has a story about the oppression of Muslims in China.

That's a complaint about how they are treating Muslims in China. They aren't advocating that China becomes less "Chinese" by mass migration. They don't advocate that China takes in more "refugees" or economic migrants. That's reserved for White countries, where it's celebrated that Whites will become the minority.

On the other hand I don't think the idea that it's not okay to be white is in any way common or visible in popular culture etc.

You're a liar. There would never be an "investigation" if somebody posted, "It's okay to be Black|Hispanic|Jewish" signs.

Colleges don't have conferences about "Jewish privilege", but they have them about "White privilege". It's completely acceptable and routine to complain about an organization being "too White", but never "too Jewish" or "too Black". It's only in majority white countries where it's celebrated that the majority will become a minority. Nobody complains that Africa, China, or India is not "multicultural" and "diverse" enough.

This can actually be undone because we have the technology. However, it requires people to actually believe it's real, care and vote for leaders who care. There are far too many people who simply don't believe/care until it personally affects them. For proof of this, you need look no further than the newspaper.

In North Carolina, hurricanes did what scientists could not: Convince Republicans that climate change is real

How we turn this around is actually charge corporations money to pollute and use that money to clean up the pollution. We can build the machines needed to remove CO2 from the air and the solar panels need to power them but they need to be paid for. Pushing this policy globally would make it easy to undo the atmospheric damage we've already done.

Ummm, no, it doesn't. The case was not thrown out with prejudice.

Washington post says
Judge throws out Stormy Daniels’s defamation lawsuit against Trump

A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit from adult-film actress Stormy Daniels that claimed President Trump defamed her when he suggested she had lied about being threatened to keep quiet about their alleged relationship.

U.S. District Judge S. James Otero in Los Angeles ruled that Trump’s speech was protected by the First Amendment as the kind of “rhetorical hyperbole” normally associated with politics and public discourse in the United States.” He ordered Daniels, whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, to pay Trump’s legal fees.

Trump attorney Charles Harder cheered Otero’s decision.

“No amount of spin or commentary by Stormy Daniels or her lawyer, Mr. Avenatti, can truthfully characterize today’s ruling in any way other than total victory for President Trump and total defeat for Stormy Daniels,” Harder said in an emailed statement.

Here is mine... pity I sent it before Krebs wrote https://krebsonsecurity.com/20...

This is a submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) review of the Telecommunication and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Bill 2018 [0].

Chinese surveillance society [1] offers a chilling vision of a society I never want to live in.

Just as Apple differentiates itself [2] clearly from Google and Facebook by saying we will never sell your data (you aren't the product), I think Western democracies ought to clearly differentiate themselves from China.

Currently we're heading towards a local optima that will look more and more like China. Because of certain problems (paedophiles, drug dealers, terrorists), government wants weak encryption. Then in large part because of weak encryption, we can't use Chinese components in our networks [3].

Well, the truth is that paedophiles/drug dealers/terrorists will all wake up to the fact that comms on common services can be intercepted, and will use their own encryption (routed over TOR or similar, so you can't tell who the endpoints are). Phantom Secure is evidence that this horse has already bolted[4]. Though I guess you might make any private encryption technology illegal? Why not?!!

The net result being that only people with "nothing to hide" will be using services that you can surveil.

Thinking more broadly, if drugs such as marijuana and MDMA were legal, then probably 95% of the so-called encryption problem goes away. And lots of other problems as well... Count on certain relatively benign recreational drugs being legalized soon after self-driving cars become common.

And then I'd argue that you catch the paedophiles and terrorists with creative policing[5]. You don't absolutely need this kind of legislation to then get into their phones [6].

In summary, a much better approach would be to support strong encryption (the global optimum), and say clearly we don't want to follow China. With strong encyption right across our telecomms networks, we'd be able to source equipment from Huwaie and ZTE ... Of course, there's the additional concern that the Chinese could stop packet transmission entirely (ie a kill switch), or make it unreliable, but that's a different problem to "they might read our stuff".

The real concern would then be any laptop server[7] or phone made in China (ie most of them) - the terminal devices where stuff must be decrypted for the user to see.

Of course, the problem is that embracing "strong encryption" is anathema to the received wisdom from the rest of the Five Eyes [8], and you need to take a broader perspective to realise it is the right choice for an open society.

Bottom line: this is good for all (even slightly) rational actors.

It's rather pointless trying to demonstrate that this isn't a partisan action to people who have already decided Facebook is the "Lib'ral" enemy. Their mind is made up and they're are just looking for any evidence to support their already decided opinion.

They're also hypocrites as they tend to restrict their sources of information to organisations that deliberately obfuscate facts that do not support their point of view (like Fox News) or outright lie (like Infowars).

They get all up in arms about Facebook eliminating Spam, but when it comes to the bias displayed by Fox.. Crickets.

So freedom of speech is now "sensational political content".

Not in the least. If you look at the tabloid-esque content that was being pushed through multiple accounts, you will see it was in fact maximally sensational.

Here's a more complete article that explains the type of content that was removed.

No freedom after speech as the account is removed.

You are one of these many misguided people that seems to think you can say anything you want and people have to just put up and listen to you. However, the truth is you are simply not being jailed for saying things. A site owner has zero obligation to keep your content on their site, especially when it just points to your own website which you make money off from.

Remember, the freedom of speech means you stay out of jail but does nothing to force people to listen to you.

Uh, Tesla's "autopilot" is a driver assist, not a self-driving vehicle

It wasn't "semantics and legalities" when "autopilot" drove into the side of a tractor trailer.

Then it was the stupid driver who mistakenly used autopilot as a substitute for paying and attention because "autopilot" is not a self-driving vehicle system. Now, when it's convenient for you to argue so, it suddenly is equivalent to one.

(and more I'm too lazy to look up)

The fact that you can believe this sentence is... sad.

The fact that you're ignoring the evidence, including her own testimony, and the conclusions of an accomplished prosecutor with an expertise in sex crimes is pathetic:

Inconsistent:

"Dr. Ford has not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened.

In a July 6 text to the Washington Post, she said it happened in the "mid 1980s."

In her July 30 letter to Senator Feinstein, she said it happened in the "early 80s."

Her August 7 statement to the polygrapher said that it happened one "high school summer in early 80's," but she crossed out the word "early" for reasons she did not explain.

A September 16 Washington Post article reported that Dr. Ford said it happened in the "summer of 1982."

Similarly, the September 16 article reported that notes from an individual therapy session in 2013 show her describing the assault as occurring in her "late teens." But she told the Post and the Committee that she was 15 when the assault allegedly occurred. She has not turned over her therapy records for the Committee to review."

Unsubstantiated:

"Dr. Ford has named three people other than Judge Kavanaugh who attended the party-- Mark Judge, Patrick "PJ" Smyth, and her lifelong friend Leland Keyser (nee Ingham). Dr. Ford testified to the Committee that another boy attended the party, but that she could not remember his name. No others have come forward.

All three named eyewitnesses have submitted statements to the Committee denying any memory of the party whatsoever. Most relevantly, in her first statement to the Committee, Ms. Keyser stated through counsel that, "[s]imply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford." In a subsequent statement to the Committee through counsel, Ms. Keyser said that "the simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate [Dr. Ford's allegations] because she has no recollection of the incident in question." "

Lying about Flying:

"She maintains that she suffers from anxiety, claustrophobia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The date of the hearing was delayed because the Committee was informed that her symptoms prevent her from flying. But she agreed during her testimony that she flies "fairly frequently for [her] hobbies and ... work." She flies to the mid-Atlantic at least once a year to visit her family. She has flown to Hawaii, French Polynesia, and Costa Rica. She also flew to Washington, D.C. for the hearing."

Second, he was called out about his hypocrisy on his comments of sacrifice and the proposed Muslim ban.

So that's what his "attack" amounted to.

Feel free to disagree with their opinion, but their son served, and they have every right to talk about sacrifice and equal protection under the law.

Nobody denied them that right. And there is no "equal protection" or "right" for foreigners to be allowed entry into the United States.

No, first he lied about not knowing who he is. Then he attempted cover with a lie about a faulty earpiece.

Whatever. The "outrage" is that Trump's expected to loudly and immediately disavow Duke if asked about him. Any other answer results in a national media storm. Yet the same media will remain quiet when Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus, and DNC big wig Keith Ellison all seek the support of racist hate preacher Farrakhan, including when they take smiling photos with him.
