Three thousand to six thousand bucks for a fucking bicycle?
I know that these bikes exist and you are not exaggerating, but that's not the price they are paying on these bikes. Taobao is a Chinese eBay, here is a search for electric bycicles. Have a look on what they have for less than 300USD (~2000CNY). More than a grand really is fucking ridiculous, common Chinese people would not afford it. The problem in the US is that these bikes are being targeted at smugs. Sell bikes for $150 and decent scooters for $300 like in China and you'll see a lot of people buying just to give it a try.
Some day they'll swap "Foreign" for "Federal" in that acronym and nobody will notice any difference.
It's not just that, since the change will be secretly approved, and will be a matter of national security, nobody will be allowed to talk about the change, or the difference. Unless another traitor spy comes up and tell us what's new in the US government.
So senior officials are talking about how worrying Trump's lack of experience is. Isn't this the administration favoring some candidates? Is this legal in the US?
Another thing I find disturbing/intriguing is that political parties are private entities. Are the FBI and DHS available to help other private entities worried about their security?
So now, instead of knowing what they were doing against the world (including America), we are going to read their marketing team's newsletter. With all the travel abroad and be important for your country stuff. Disgusting.
"The Lives of Others" (Das Leben der Anderen) is a great German movie about the Stasi.
The fact that they are checking who is going in a convention center made me remember the movie. It may not be because of anything on the movie, but because of this CCC talk about the Stasi: What does Big Brother see, while he is watching? [32c3]. I don't know, I watched the movie a long time ago and the talk this year, I just remember how beautiful it was.
That's a completely different situation. A person acting Jewish is not imminent danger to yourself.
This woman probably though her life was in danger, cause she's stupid and he clearly had pen, paper and curly hair. If that was some sort of activation code, she would die.
On her part, the problem is lack of education and the culture of fear (both not completely her fault).
The bigger issue on this incident is, like you said, the authorities acting like the Gestapo.
The problem I have with Firefox's warning ("Reported Web Forgery!") is that the first thing I though was that TPB had been hacked, or their domain stolen/changed, and a forgery was on their place, like what happened with eztv. I wasn't sure if they were claiming that the legit TPB was a forgery, or if I was trying to access a forgery of TPB.
The problem is that the law is pretty clear: Art. 9 - The party responsible for the transmission, switching ou routing has the duty to process, on an isonomic basis, any data packages, regardless of content, origin and destination, service, terminal or application. (...) Paragraph 3 - When providing Internet connectivity, free or at a cost, as well as, in the transmission, switching or routing, it is prohibited to block, monitor, filter or analyze the content of data packets, in compliance with this article.
The judge ordered the internet providers to block Whatsapp, witch is only possible through violation of the law. He choose to ignore part of the law and use other parts to give the order.
The problem is that this is not about the law, it's about judiciary doing whatever they want (and maybe not understanding the meaning of the law).
The law is pretty clear for us: CHAPTER III PROVISION OF CONNECTION AND INTERNET APPLICATIONS Section I Of the Network Neutrality
Art. 9 - The party responsible for the transmission, switching ou routing has the duty to process, on an isonomic basis, any data packages, regardless of content, origin and destination, service, terminal or application.

Paragraph 3 - When providing Internet connectivity, free or at a cost, as well as, in the transmission, switching or routing, it is prohibited to block, monitor, filter or analyze the content of data packets, in compliance with this article.
The judge ordered the internet providers to block Whatsapp, witch is only possible through violation of the law (and not for Whatsapp to stop working, that order would actually be legal).
The other time this illegal order was given, a higher court overruled it based on public interest, not on net neutrality grounds. I bet the same will happen again. Judges are routinely stepping over the law in Brazil, they like to have that power. I cannot sue the judge for violating my rights, I can sue the government. If I sue, a judge will evaluate my damages (and he/she will say it was nothing if there were no lost businesses), and order the state to compensate me with our tax money, carefully so that I don't have "illicit enrichment". I work in the judiciary, and I talked to my judge about the subject the other time this shit happened. Legally that's our situation down here. He clearly though the order was abusive the other time, but also based on public interest. It was a little hard to explain to him the meaning of net neutrality and the above article in our law.
I stopped reading the daily dot because they started paying Sabu (the anonymous snitch that put Hammond in jail). Did they kick him out? Even with adblockers I don't feel comfortable entering their domain.
It's disgusting to see an article about a traitor in a website that has one in their payroll.
Actually, we do have the natural right to speak, sing, write, do things with our bodies. That would include singing songs we hear and writing zeros and ones we get to know.
Copyright is an unnatural right to revoke our natural rights of doing all those things, for a while, and the time they are revoking our rights is no longer reasonable (I'm free to say those words after we're dead + 70y).
Their terms are a violation of our natural rights, we should no longer let the abuse continue, but if they want the majority of the population to to keep following their terms, they'll have to meet in between.

The shortened timeline has had "a profound effect on our ability to collect, particularly against terrorists," he said
We are all glad it had a profound effect on your ability to collect against the other people, you know, us, the innocent that you used to lie about not collecting anything.
particularly against terrorists
How would you know? It's encrypted. Unless the communication was from a know terrorist (like one featured in a magazine), in which case not doing anything but complain about their encryption is plain and simple failing at your job.
Anyway, we know you collected the communications of the terrorists you let do the attack in Paris, it was not encrypted.
What a terrible post. It doesn't even matter if it's real. "News for nerds". There is a thing called hidden camera that will avoid mistakes, give visual id of the lover and be admissible in court. This doesn't matter and is stupid.
By publishing their source code he protected journalists and activists that were being targeted by the governments you talked about, at least temporarily with the AV updates, and further by exposing the fact that they were selling to sanctioned countries.
Your "shades of gray" BS doesn't apply here. One thing is to sell a weapon, another is to sell a weapon to a known murderer. Do you think there should be no problems on selling uranium to NK? It's just selling, not using...
It makes much more sense to cut the weapons used by the governments and terrorists than to let them weaponize themselves. That's why sanctions exist.
You are completely clueless if you think hacking criminal corporations that do business with governments doesn't involve real personal danger.
FinFisher is an old moniker, he changed to PhineasFisher. Indeed, he is the hacker that did the FinFisher hack. Here is an "interview" about the HT hack that confirms his identity.
Freegate. It used to work pretty well, at least until 2012, and you didn't have to install it. I used to carry it around on a usb stick. So yes, people just happen to have one handy. It probably still works the same, but I'm not in China to tell.
Some journalists are going to publish only part of it, to damage only those that they have interest in hurting. Wikileaks publishes everything, and that's what we need, so that every citizen can go through it and show what's inside.
People who have access to it, please, leak it all.
(I was checking the journalists in ICIJ from my country, they are not from very different media outlets. I can see a lot staying hidden and I imagine it will be the same for other countries)
So when they fought child pornography, animal abuse, religious harassment, exposed war crimes and private espionage against people (global intelligence files), they were not doing anything useful?
The solution to distribution/availability problems is piracy, it has always been. Even with physical piracy (pirate dvds, team shirts, shoes, etc).
Netflix has the same problems you pointed on this new dvd system, some day the content might not be available, there is a lot of people complaining about it already, even with netflix doing pretty well (they are not renewing rights for every movie).
For the first contact with any "piece" of culture, you always depend on someone. In this case, you depend on either the pirates or on the corporations dedicated to (limiting the) distribution of the content. For further access, the problems you mentioned exist only if you chose to depend on corporations. By pirating you have the media and the means to play it.
The funny thing is that this kind of behavior is making my job of convincing people to go the pirate/free way much easier. People will get really afraid of buying dvds.
The point of the post is that the US is involved from the beginning. Try reading the email from 2011, it's a quote of what the airforce guy says. I even made it bold for retards.
The US, the country that sat out the whole conflict until Daesh started committing genocide
From the Global Intelligence Files in 2011, about the US financing anyone available to fight against Assad (read terrorists/"rebels"), and being interested in a big humanitarian disaster. Quotes from the e-mail:
they said without saying that SOF teams (presumably from US, UK, France, Jordan, Turkey) are already on the ground focused on recce missions and training opposition forces. One Air Force intel guy (US) said very carefully that there isn't much of a Free Syrian Army to train right now anyway
So there were no rebels to train, but they were there and training them anyway.
the idea 'hypothetically' is to commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within
They dont believe air intervention would happen unless there was enough media attention on a massacre, like the Ghadafi move against Benghazi. They think the US would have a high tolerance for killings as long as it doesn't reach that very public stage.
They are discussing a 2012 report by the DIA informing that by supporting terrorists, the US would end up supporting Daesh during the interview. Here is the DIA report, heavily redacted (it's just three pages out of seven pages). You should at least watch the 5 minutes video before saying that the US sat on the conflict again.

Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL (for some reason, I only get the "an error occurred" message, so here is a link to the most important part: Former DIA Head Concedes US Deliberately Backed Extremists in Syria).
