Really. Don't do online payments, don't subscribe to news organizations, don't stream games, don't get email notifications, nothing. The only sort of safe exception is medical information under HIPPA.
Remember no organization is at risk if they leak your info. The cost of a breach is just factored into the cost of doing business. That's why HIPPA is an exception. Medical information leaks are treated extremely seriously and they can even cause an organization to be shut down.
The only one who is at risk if personal data becomes public is you. Organizations don't give a damn about you.
It's obvious that you have never been to Europe because the phrase "European Socialist Utopias" as a criticism is 100% unrelated to life in the EU. There are places in the EU that have serious problems, but primarily they were previously under Communist regimes or had their economies destroyed by the 2008 global crash. Examples of the latter are Greece and Portugal which were driven into default by US, German, British and French bankers.
For example Goldman-Sachs outwitted the then Government of Greece by structuring loans that G-S knew were unsustainable. Meanwhile they issued Credit Default Swaps that paid out huge sums if there was a default. They made money selling the loans and they made money from the failures: heads G-S wins, tails Greece looses. The final debt burden was much larger for Greece because of the one-two punch.
By the way, I have been to Europe, both East and West, and people at the bottom of the economy are better off then those in the same situation in the US. And those at the top in the EU still have supercars and mansions and multiple houses etc. So what are you whining about?
Shut up! Don't give the R's any more crazy ideas about the interwebnet thing. I think they're still hung up on the idea of a bunch of pipes and that was too complex for them to understand.
I would assume that you are planning on crashing your car very soon because you clearly are not learning anything at your current driving proficiency. Or perhaps you need to get more communicable diseases to keep your immune system in top form. Either way I personally look forward to your upcoming demise since you are obviously a complete moron.
The Culture War era was a reactionary pushback to the gains made by minorities and women preceding the Regan era. It was an example of blaming the victim, a tactic being used by Trump and the Republican Party right now.
Culture Warriors like Bennett demonized their targets and used racial fear and hostility for political propaganda. Bush 41 used the infamous Willie Horton political ad in his election campaign.
Many other commentators remarked that the Bush presidency, and back to the Horton ad of the campaign, stoked racial animosity. Even if there was not an intentional race-bating or similar dog whistle in the ad, the fact that he was black is still a key part of how the ad is still discussed.
Bennett and the Heritage Foundation contributed to the current political situation where Trump made excuses for Nazis marching in North Carolina. The next day an innocent woman was killed by one of the right wingers in a hate crime. You OK with that?
The Heritage Foundation: keeping the world safe for entitled white christian males since 1973.
Wikipedia: Heritage also became involved in the culture wars of the 1990s with the publication of "The Index of Leading Cultural Indicators" by William Bennett. The Index documented how crime, illegitimacy, divorce, teenage suicide, drug use and fourteen other social indicators had become measurably worse since the 1960s."
China Social Credit 2019. Some local governments have taken things further. Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei province, designed a map on WeChat that warns people when they’re within 500 meters near a “deadbeat,” the word used by authorities to describe those who fail to repay their debts. One county also made a ringtone that warns people when they’re calling a “deadbeat."
As Google continues to help China build a censored search engine (and lies about it), the person you want to help with your AI ethics initiative is from the organization that fanned the flames of the 90's Culture War. President "Grab Them by the Pussy" Trump is 100% on board.
"In terms of credit, employment and housing ads, the problem with this system is that it discriminates where it shouldn't: Five ads for lumber industry jobs were delivered to an audience that was more than 90 percent men and more than 70 percent white; five ads for janitorial work were delivered to an audience that was more than 65 percent women and 75 percent black," the report adds. "Housing ads also showed a racial skew."
That is discriminatory and illegal. The researchers looked at lots of factors, including areas where targeting is acceptable practice. They wanted to know if Facebook was using their targeting algorithm where it should not be used. The answer seems to be that Facebook is breaking the law.
All the whining fools questioning the study are too stupid to read the summery and/or too dumb to understand it: typical Slashdot knuckle dragging idiots who still live in their parent's basement.
" artificial intelligence to take over air traffic control" == "when pigs fly"
Because the current air traffic control system based on partitioned air space, regular routes, and tens of thousands of humans on duty 24/7 in a highly redundant system integrated with national and international weather forecasting will trivially be replaced by magic pixie dust AI at little or no cost. And it will never ever fail ever, just like commercial air travel. Just check current news for how well air transport works now.
Completely accurate. Want an example: anti-bacterial hand soap/dish soap. Advertising is awash (pun intended) with "Kills 99.99% of Germs!". Meanwhile current bacteria populations are becoming immune to the agents used in these products. It's called evolutionary adaptation and it works no matter what anyone thinks about evolution or god.
Meanwhile, if someone can make money on new antibiotics now the future can just go fuck itself. Use it up and breed (pun intended) future trouble because PROFIT!
Although cryptocurrency is an endless source of amusement for those who enjoy watching avarice, gross stupidity and morons getting fleeced, in the overall scheme of things it can't hold a candle compared to Congress.
Schadenfreude trade offs of cryptocurrency vs Congress:
Cryptocurrency isn't completely free entertainment because one way or another the public ends up paying for the scams. But for how much it costs you personally it's a bargain.
Congress has Hiking the Appalachian Trail, revelations about paying off porn stars, the head of the EPA spending $43K on a phone booth, overt racism, endless sexual misconduct, etc, as well as all the cryptocurrency kerfuffle. Unfortunately, Congress is really expensive, and when they get it wrong it has a huge impact on your personal life, and the lives of everyone else in the world and generations yet unborn.
So Congress, as much fun as it is, does not provide the same bang for the buck because it's so damned terrifying.

Isn't the current fascist government good enough?

The FTC will do absolutely nothing to stop ISP's from abusing their power to make more money for less investment.
So bullying and resultant suicides are completely fine with your, right?
"Because it's a universally accepted legal principle that a corrupt business owner who gets caught should, in the absolute worst case, break even."
The revision is the way it actually works. Just ask a Wall Street banker.
You can get a Hex Driver for the POWER9 HSF for only $12.50 plus S&H!
First send drone that only does REQ. The drone that returns only does ACK1. Then send send drone that only does ACK2.
Data is encoded by drones that represent the hex values #0 to #F.
It will only cost you a couple of bucks to find out. Go for it!

The Flintstones is NOT a documentary. The world is not flat either. Get your head out of your ass.
It's guaranteed to work, just ask Trump.
