This is so twisted. It bothers me greatly that they could be so despicable and twisted. What the hell is wrong with these cops? Pervs in uniform and I wonder if they'll still be out there on duty next year? I hate the thought these sickos will still be pulling women over after they get a slap on the wrist for this. Fire them.
Unbelievable, And to think those 4chan nude celebrity posts did the same thing. Let's violate everyone's rights because it's okay to spy now in any form (although doing it anonymously seems much more rewarding and easier to escape punishment from).
Seriously, who's considering causing pain and suffering on the US Govt for spying on it's children? The entire concept of privacy is completely obliterated in this country, and we started it to protect pictures of 1970's nude children from being distributed through the internet. It's still happening. Then we did it to stop those that steal planes from driving them into buildings. They're just throwing axes and shooting policemen now. Useless again. We keep surrendering privacy, laughing about it the whole way no matter who gets hurt, and hoping some little angel will protect us.
You can't start fixing it until you give up your right, and execute with diligence your unwillingness to violate other people's privacy. Right now no such attitude exists, and a "no privacy for you" clause is in full effect. And you love it. And until you stop loving it, embracing it, suffering it, you will only exacerbate it.
My connection is on a dynamic IP address. The best any of those services can do is tell you what city my ISP's router is in, and one of the three services tested by iplocation.net (the service pointed to by TFA) managed to get it wrong. And, I'm not the least bit impressed by the claim that the author's location was correct withing 5 miles, as that still leaves anybody looking for you with just over 78.5 square miles to search.
So how inaccurate is something if you are generating this data all the time, wherever you travel, from one ISP to another, and post your subliminal text images all over the place. Suddenly a fuzzy picture starts to look much clearer, and you can be pinpointed with reasonable accuracy.
This is almost not certainly the app you have been curious about. The company called Whisper Systems was started by Moxie Marlinspike, a highly respected cypherphunk. Their app is called redphone. The "whisper" app, though, is made by a company called Whisper, which has close DoD ties and all sorts of red flags.
The similarity in names is no coincidence. I think this is actually a deliberate attempt to spread distrust about phone crypto apps.
Perhaps you've read into it too much. Storing everyone's data is certainly a truth of the app, and whisper already says they will hand over data when requested.

Forget about MAD or Deterrence. The only MADness here is Putin. If he does what he says what he will do (and he seems to rarely back down from anything due to his massive ego), most of the First World countries are going to immediately join forces to invade and permanently occupy Russia. This is obviously much harder than it sounds, and with lots of radioactive fallout there will be far more civilian causalities than in any other war ever imagined. The only question is - can Putin visualize the worst case scenario at all or has he completely lost his mind?
There are several diets out there- particularly Keto, that people have had a lot of success with. In just 2 months I almost lost 30 pounds (call it water weight all you want) and it was a low carb, high fat diet. My bad cholesterol even went down a couple points, and I still feel like I have my muscles. There is a lot of research supporting this idea out there, if you realize that the FDA is probably bought out by people who make high-carb, high-profit foods.
The old school food triangle is garbage. Schools feed kids based on guidance from the govt and look what we get. Sugary sodas, high carb grains, meal replacement candy. None of this is for your health. The real problem is that none of it in combination is good for anything but heart disease and diabetes.
The studies on lchf have been out for a while and really put the pressure on the whole concept of shutting down glycogens and generating ketones. As noted in the study, bad cholesterol dives while good cholesterol spikes. I once saw a list of the most unhealthy processed foods that basically has every food group in a single meal. If you ate just one of these a day I think you are certain to die in ten years. Start with fresh meats, fish, nuts, creams and veggies. Leave the carbs for last. Live a long and healthy life.
People seem to forget that those who are 40 today have a good chance of living to 100. Do you want to spend the last 30 years of your life getting heart surgeries, popping blood pressure pills and overprescribed pharmaceuticals? You're just supporting an industry that thrives on your disabilities. Ditch them and the whole damned system of intolerance they offer.
I love how people insist on commenting on what fathers or mothers do to teach their children about reality. If you did not hand them weapons or put them in the line of fire (keep in mind in some countries even that is perfectly acceptable for a 12 year old), then mind your own freekin beeswax. Why is this even a/. story?
Side note? I would do the same with my kids if I actually got up off my ass and stopped typing on computers for 10 minutes. Sad.
There aren't 8300 people working on each patent application. The USPTO received 609,052 patent applications last year. There are (roughly) 200 working days in a calendar year (accounting for sick leave, vacation, an minimal training/in-service time). Each patent receives (on average) less than 3 man-days total for your diligence in determining the patent background, current state of the art, etc.
609,052 / 8300 workers = 7 patents to review per worker per year.
If each patent takes 3 days to review, then that is 255 - 21 = 234 days left to do nothing.

"...there are very real discussions about automating jobs there now,"
How about automating jobs here now. Wouldn't it be just as cheap, more secure and faster to ship if you kept automation in your own country?

Both Stanford and Google say the change in funding was unrelated to the previous research.
Well that certainly puts the issue to bed.
More proof that both willingly lie, because : money.
How exactly is this supposed to make the end user feel good about either U2 or Apple?
The genes are obviously smart enough to hide from researchers.

Hey who stole my computer?!
RT is claiming that Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia, in order to defect, and the Ukranian government admits this.
Now counter these pictures of tanks entering from Russia
The west must go all out on sanctions. Gonna happen sooner or later.. and later is always bad.
And do you think Germany is going to shut down 1/4 of their GDP by stopping trade with the Superpower next door? Not likely no matter what Putin does.

Hmm. Are some of those that are wondering if it helps Twitter's stock actually bots themselves?
Bots certainly work well for financial companies, aka HFT, etc. I can't see how they hurt the stock value of a service like twitter.
