    Make no mistake. Many "big data" companies have clients whom their own engineers are not allowed to know the name of, and have staff on H1-B visas from both sides of the same war. (Israel and Palestine, India and Pakistan, Russia and the Ukraine, Iran and Iraq, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Miami and Atlanta. The list goes on.)

    You seem good at lists. List for me sources plz. I work with plenty of H1 workers, haven't met 1 yet I would fire, or even trade for a white boy american. You all really put too much value in your nationalism, a bourgerois construct to say the least. Give me evidence that H1s aren't people deserving of respect, and I'll give you the punch in the face you've been waiting for, you liar. Seriously though, if you have a source, fucking quote it, unless you're content to just be the greenandgrey noise on just another dumb corporate owned sensationalist news website.

    You say this like its a choice. To work at a job these days, you have to sign away your rights, submit to credit and background checks, maybe even give up social feeds to pass the CV test. How about that, being pressured to be ..... what, exactly? ..... just to be able to pay your landlord for the privilege of not being homeless. Why not just kill your landlord? It's not like they're doing anything productive for the world or society.

    You use someone else's computer for this. Duh. Why would anyone who is concerned about this nonsense even begin to make data? You think our asinine comments on this ... eh ... pretty good website mean shit to anyone, other than people trying to advertise shit you won't buy?

    hmmmmm why do you care, exactly, about china knowing about you in particular?

    datafication is a byproduct of the information era. these companies and governments think they know stuff about you in general by browsing through your data in large aggregates, but that's also the same thing as google thinking I like arsenal by my googling of "fuck arsenal" ... point being, the fucking corporations don't know shit, can't know shit, only think they know shit, by twisting data into pivoted, algorithmically filtered bits of fucking nonsense. Give me a bit of data you think is true about me, and while I'm punching you in the throat (you fucking spy trying to sell my shit to capitalist pig fuckers) I will tell you how all of it is either untrue or fabricated to fuck up your data model.

    making lots of fake data in websites and phones is pretty easy with the right scripts....the new VPN is obfuscation, not encryption. BE the noise, don't run from it.

    Apple forces me to buy an Android phone by being the only competitor and deciding to lock me into their ecosystem if I use them. Not to mention I still haven't forgiven them for not simply allowing me to access a common filesystem.

    Tend to agree with AC below. Cell phones with data spying is optional, and is a widely accepted standard operating procedure. Although, so too is the 'black mirror' world we're riding a fucking bullet train into, optional.

    If you weren't such a lazy fuck you'd do something about it. That's right i'm talking to you. You pussy. Rise up if you're so mad about ultrasized corporations serving you advertisements based on your incognito mode porn watching habits. When are you going to reach your breaking point? Do you even have one? Where's your fucking backbone? Are you a person, or a farm animal to be dominated and exploited for profit?

  25. patent versus knife on Bank of America Tops IBM, Payments Firms With Most Blockchain Patents (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Knife stabs and shreds patent. I tend to agree that the USPTO should be put to pasture. Copyright is so 200 years ago. Knowledge should be collective. And open-source ideas can't be patented. I'll show you BOFA just how well your shit holds up in court - just well enough to put down one person, because one bailiff probably couldn't restrain two people from eviscerating your ugly fucking faces.

    Seriously, if the USPTO has the ability to decree from up on high who owns what idea, who owns them? They're just people; fallible, often wrong, and addicted to a capitalistic system of the world supported by yesteryear. Them handing BOFA a patent for blockchain is like a bum handing a passerby a flyer for party that happened last week and there's used bubblegum on it.
