Got news for you: A lot of the original Nazis were also just cowards waving the flag.
Got news for you: ALL of the original Nazis were also just cowards waving the flag.
It's one of their main features. Along with being white, without a sense of humor and being convinced in their own racial superiority in order to compensate for a raging inferiority complex.
Oh wait, you were serious. You actually think that AntiFa are national socialists. The group whose sole shared goal is opposing the far right, are also the far right.
Cause you're not properly insane for that to make sense.
It may not be politically correct to punch nazis, but that's too bad.
Maybe to Nazis it's not politically correct. To anyone else with a modicum of moral fiber it is commendable. People have even gotten medals and shit for KILLING Nazis.
Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation is owned by Daimler. So it's German AND Japanese. Also, these very same trucks were presented in US as well, about a month ago.
Apparently, someone has a problem with calling out people who see dog whistling everywhere as paranoid loons who see dog whistling everywhere. All of the time. In everything. Everywhere.
So let me rephrase that...
Explain to me which of these statements is *political*.
You obviously lack the proper training. You know... the kind that would help you understand that talking about "cutting taxes" is the same thing as going around shouting "Ni99er, ni99er, ni99er."
Which you'd know if you had proper training. Just as you'd know that global warming is a Chinese conspiracy, that UN is coming for your guns, that Obama is a secret Muslim - who is also a secret demon. And many other wonderful things you'd "pick up" from various sources with hidden messages. You'd see ALL OF THE hidden messages and secret information. Everywhere. All of the time.

You seem to have a problem understanding that "location" and "coordinates" - both of which are a very well known factors for cell towers are the same thing as a "name". It's a designation. Whether you attach an IP address, an ASCII name or a number to it - it's a name.
The App has no way to know the "names" of cell phone towers either.
Wait... you trying to tell me you never saw a notification from a cell tower notifying you to which cell tower and which network you are connected? That thing where it lets you know the operator and the label of the tower you're connected to, usually named after the neighborhood it's placed in?
The App can only use/post the location.
And what would you call a designation attached to such location of a specific cell tower? How about "a name"?
What about: the strongest signal wins? Hu? A cell phone simply has one antenna. Not to eyes. It can not even "look at a light house".
Number of "eyes" or antennae does not matter - "the strongest signal wins" is precisely how the phone (and thus the app) knows that at Time001 it was near one tower and at Time010 it was near a different tower. Or if the "eyes" and "lighthouses" is a too confusing metaphor - try foghorns or loud music. Or picking up different radio stations on the same frequency as you drive down the road. Even a blind passenger could tell where you're at simply by listening to the music changing on the same frequency.
In fact, "the strongest signal wins" allows for triangulation of movement - an app can tell the strength of the signal from tower A and WHEN it was overridden by the strength of the signal from tower B. At the intersection of those two signals - there you are. Hell... an app actually sees any tower even remotely in range, allowing for higher precision in urban areas.
The point was about MAC address. Unless your phone exposes an API (and my web browser on my laptop most certainly does not), there is no way the App can know the MAC address and send that to the server.
MAC address case and cell tower case are two different events.
Frankly I don't know what my cousin's kid has running on that box of his. Or the permissions he gave to scripts and whatnot. For all I know it's probably crawling with spyware. BUT... considering that today almost any piece of hardware comes with a "social component" where you can "share" the crap you do, games you play, places you're at with your "friends" - and most often it does that by "logging in with Facebook"... Who needs spyware? Fucking drivers are calling back to Facebook.
Hell... I had a situation not so long ago where an overburdened Firefox, with a whole bunch of tabs, started crashing on me... causing my screen to start turning off and on. WTF? Turns out, Firefox was taking NVIDIA drivers with it as it crashed - cause a graphic card driver is now a hybrid app, with a web browser of its own, so it can "connect" and "share" and "login".
But you are right that it doesn't even have to be the MAC address. Gathering geolocation WOULD do. Hell... it'd do a lot better than a MAC address to identify an actual person. But why stop there, when he came to my home with his mobile in his pocket, running who knows what, accessing all the cell towers and wireless routers along the way, from his front door to mine.
And if you can ask your phone to look for wireless networks around you - so can any app you gave permissions to access Wi-Fi. Same goes for any other hardware, software or personal info on the phone. If you can see it, so can an app. In fact, an app can often access system files and various other telemetry data much easier than the average user. Or even the above average one. And everyone happily allows apps to do just that. Cause everyone wants their Vibers for nothing and their tweets for free.
Imagine each cell tower being a lighthouse instead and your mobile phone as a ship on the sea. Now... Sailors (apps) on your ship (phone) may not know your exact course or location but they can see a lighthouse and they can tell time. And every lighthouse just happens to blink in a different way. So... once you come into port (connect to a router) that sailor (app) who is spying on you the whole time reports to his masters where and when you were sailing. They don't know where exactly you were while at sea, but they know near which location you were, when and in which order.
It doesn't have to be precise. Sometimes just knowing the town you're in at the same time as people "related" to you in some way is enough to push that "people you may know" recommendation to the top of the list.
Which is why the "sex worker in fabula" gets recommendations of people who've been around same parts of same towns at the same time that she was there. They must have shared interests. Or at least their phones and apps on them do. And that's without getting all... AI about it.
Probably snoops your browser history and tracks to which cell towers your phone connects to as well.
A while back, son of a distant cousin (distant in relation, close geographically) had some issues with his PC so he called me for help. It sounded like the issue was power related but he assured me that his PSU had enough power to run it all. It was the PSU. He read the wrong numbers on the box.
BUT... After I downloaded a GPU test to check my suspicions about his computer, which naturally required an internet connection, and he took his computer home with an advice what to buy so his games would no longer crash the system - he starts appearing as "people you may know" on my Facebook profile. Despite the fact that we have no direct connection on Facebook. His dad is not on any social network. Same for his mom. And he's too young to be in social circles of our mutual cousins. But once his computer connected to the internet through my router... there he is.
On another note... got a new phone which (naturally) has cell tower broadcast notifications turned on by default. Which I notice only as it starts pinging me with notifications as I go around town and move between different cell towers. Coincidentally, during that same walk I notice a former colleague on the other side of the street, going home from work. He doesn't even notice me, he's on the other side of the street, there's traffic between us, and I'm not about to shout and wave or jump around for him to notice me. We never were that close anyway... which is the reason why I don't have him in my Facebook contacts. But we do both have some of the same former colleagues in our friend lists... and I was just in his neighborhood.
And there he is the next day on top of the "people you may know" list. He was probably on it the whole time... but now he's on top of it. As soon as his phone and my phone were near the same cell tower at the same time and as my phone connected to my wireless router once back home.
Facebook has shadow profiles on everyone already. All it needs is for some of the gathered data to start matching to geographical and time coordinates one's technology, friends or even interests leave all over the place - and it can start making some pretty educated guesses.
No, no, no... You are supported by trolls and people with IQ below room temperature.
I.e. People who upon seeing "Nazis and KKK" mentioned jump on the opportunity to align themselves with those morons by shouting "THAT'S WHAT LEFTISTS CALL ME!!! HARHARHAR!!!"
It's about moms and their precious little angels being fed !OMG! pesticides by the evil something or other.
That's why the titles for this "news" are all "HONEY IS FULL OF PESTICIDES! SOME OF IT WITH MORE THAN ONE!!! PANIC!!! HORROR!!!" instead of "Amount of nicotine-like compounds found in honey far below levels found in a single puff of tobacco smoke".
Absolutely, strongly inspired by but with several critical differences.
If "inspired" is an euphemism for "stolen" - yes, it was a case of a LOT of inspiration, all over.
The key in terms of the shuttle program was "overt collection" and specifically the use of commercial databases. In effect, the massive effort directed at the U.S. space shuttle program was among the first cases of Internet espionage, if not the first case. With all the critical documents online, it was left to the VPK, under the auspices of the KGB, to gather it all up and then circulate it to those in the space program who needed it.
The 1985 CIA analysis on "Soviet Acquisition of Militarily Significant Western Technology" described the shuttle project as the best example of the KGB's exploitation of U.S. government databases:
"From the mid-1970s through the early 1980s, NASA documents and NASA-funded contractor studies provided the Soviets with their most important source of unclassified material in the aerospace area. Soviet interests in NASA activities focused on virtually all aspects of the space shuttle. Documents acquired dealt with airframe designs (including the computer programs on design analysis), materials, flight computer systems, and propulsion systems. This information allowed Soviet military industries to save years of scientific research and testing time as well as millions of rubles as they developed their own very similar space shuttle vehicle."
The CIA noted that "individual abstracts or references in government and commercial data bases are unclassified, but some of the information, taken in the aggregate, may reveal sensitive information."
Moreover, said the CIA, the VPK had laid out "general guidance to collectors to acquire selected information on... the U.S. space shuttle." In terms of priority, in fact, the report noted that "documents on systems and heat shielding of the U.S. space shuttle" was the VPK's top need in the "Space and Anti-satellite Weapons" arena. The CIA also detailed how much the KGB had budgeted for several of the shuttle-related projects and what academic institutions were targeted by the Soviets' shuttle effort.
A half-million rubles - then worth roughly $140,000 - had been budgeted for "documents on the U.S. shuttle orbiter control system," the CIA noted. And shuttle-related research projects at Caltech, MIT, Brooklyn Poly, Princeton, Stanford, Kansas, Penn State and Ohio State were also listed as targets of the KGB.
So thorough was the online acquisition, the National Security Agency learned, that the Soviets were using two East-West research centers in Vienna and Helsinki as covers to funnel the information to Moscow, where it kept printers going "almost constantly." The Reagan administration had cut the Soviets off from making direct purchases of reports through the Department of Commerce's National Technical Information Service and the Pentagon's Defense Technical Information Service.
"Prior to that, they simply went from the Soviet embassy on 16th Street to the Government Printing Office on North Capitol and H Streets, provided the GPO with the name and number of the document they had gotten off the database, paid their money and took the documents back to the embassy," said one intelligence official.
The computer center through which much of the intelligence then flowed, according to another CIA report, was located at the Soviet Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Moscow, which it identified as having strong "links" to the KGB. The report noted it was "reasonable to assume" that the chamber's computer center tapped into western online information services.
So called "moderate Democrats". Two of whom are a part of something called "The ModSquad", one is "ranked exactly 50th on its scale of the 100 senators, from most-liberal to most-conservative" and one is just a tad more to the left of her.
One can't take a well defensible, higher ground, position, lock himself up there and keep lobbing cars or pressure cookers at thousands of people half a mile or more in the distance. Nor can one ambush those thousands of people with a car. Or keep running over people once they realize that the driver of said car is running people over. Purely based on a fact that a car is a lot more visible and avoidable than a bullet. One can dodge a Dodge but one can't bullet a bullet.
And while one CAN ambush people with a pressure cooker... Constructing one, then hauling it and placing it without blowing oneself up IS a tiny-winy bit trickier than point and click effort of using a gun. One can't just bang-bang-bang at a crowd outside one's window with a car or a pressure cooker cause one is suddenly and gravely disappointed in the effectiveness of those pills which promised that penis enlargement OR cause one is annoyed with loud music those pesky kids are playing. One can't do either on whim - the way someone with a gun can.
Plus... Neither cars nor weaponized pressure cookers grow on trees, and it is easier to find a gun store in US of A than a store selling... well... anything other than gasoline. There 14146 McDonald's restaurants in the US, 16708 franchised car dealers, 36536 grocery stores and 143849 gas stations... but 51438 gun retailers. 129817 gun dealers if you count in "collectors" (61,562), pawn shops (7,356), and importers and manufacturers. And WE KNOW that Americans have a McDonald's problem.
But even if cars and cooker did grow on trees - one still has to find the said tree, pick the car, drive it to where people are, get enough traction...
I mean... look at that cunt in Charleston. He had to drive AAAALLL the way from Ohio to South Carolina, only to be able to run over a single person. It took planning. And work. And driving. And finding his way around a foreign town. You can't just type in "People to run over with a car" in your GPS, you know?
Also, fenced venues such as open air concerts tend not to allow one to take cars OR weaponized pressure cookers inside. But you can still squeeze off a couple of shots inside. Just get yourself some high ground and... bang-bang-bang your way to that penis enlargement! Show the world you're NOT firing blanks!
Since firing at "everything that sounds like a gunshot" would, of course, mean they'd decimate each other the first time one of them opened fire, necessitating the replacement of all of them...
That's what frangible ammo is for. Saves you a fortune in repair costs on your drones. Just slap a new coat of paint on its metal exterior and it's good to go!
