Another "plea bargain" coerced confession, another man locked in the gulag without ever being convicted by a jury of his peers.
Fuck whatever this guy may or may not have done. It's time to de-Stalinize America. End coerced confessions. No convictions without real trial by jury. Empty the gulag.
We're not dumb - the fucking story is paywalled. And unfortunately search result quality on Big Brother Google has for some time been downgraded to show only semi-official fake news sources. So a quick search turned up no liberated copy of the article.
Anyways, the both summary says they are buying databases of surveillance data from smartphone malware/apps. "Thasos gets data from about 1,000 apps, many of which need to know a phone's location to be effective".
Certainly sounds plausible. Why else would malware companies give away "free" shovelware apps, if they weren't planning to spy on and otherwise abuse their users?
Dude... he's using the term "puritanism" metaphorically. I don't think he believes the social just-us nazis are actually members of the (extinct?) Puritan religion.
It's a valid comparison. Social just-us nazis - especially feminazis - do act an awful lot like the raging hypocrite Fundamentalist "Christians" who plagued America back in the day.
C'mon bro - we live in a bureaucratic totalitarian state. If one doesn't have a valid government ID, one is good and truly fucked. Voting would be the very least of one's problems.
"the good old days before we had soviet style "homeland" security"
I, too, remember living in a Free republic. Alas, the youth of today have grown up under the Empire. They may never know the taste of that simple, relaxed Freedom we thought had given us victory over the Soviet Union.
100% of real-world FTP servers I've seen running in the last decade were setup on orders from Sales or Marketing departments. Those folks tend to have low technical ability, zero understanding of security, and far more political power than Dev or IT.
In fact, the presence of an FTP server on an important host tells us something about their organizational structure. It tells us there is at least one zero-tech-knowledge person in the org, whose mere whim carries more weight than the CTO's (or CSO's) total office-political power.
It's a social problem. We now live in a world where everything is controlled by computers. Yet programmers have no real upward career path and are systematically excluded from leadership positions in most organizations. Thus even highly tech- dependent orgs usually have 100% tech-illiterate leaders.
Until this social problem is fixed, expect security incidents to get steadily worse and more frequent.
Naw brohamley, the two faces of the Establishment Party are totally different. The Republicans are a shit sandwich - whereas the Democrats are a turd baguette. The difference is huuuuuuge!
Bullshit. It may be work that richie rich private school Democrats won't do. But there are a LOT of Americans who don't have the money & connections to pursue those other, more lucrative options. Those Americans used to be - and to some extent still are - the backbone of the tech industry.
Nah, breaking up Faceboot is not the right answer. Instead, let's just make their creepy cyberstalking-based business model illegal. Very very illegal.
Now Big Brother Google - there is a guy candidate for an anti-trust action.

"why in the hell aren't the police facing the same charges?"
Because cops are above the law, obviously.

There are no "facts" in politics.
I do.
Duhhhhh!
Cuomo is a tool and a crook. He never met a suitcase full of cash he didn't like.

The witch hunts will continue until morale improves!
San Francisco - the best homelessness money can buy! ...OR...
San Francisco - the best crackheads, tweakers, and batshit crazy street people money can buy!

Respek their authoritay!

Paper ballots are a good, necessary start. However they are by no means sufficient to secure elections against organized corruption.
Consider for a moment several amusing stories of election antics from San Franshitsco: http://sfist.com/2016/11/04/ri...
Rumor has it that AWS us-east-1, at least, is protected by a SAM battery (among other things, no doubt).
If you leave your front door hanging wide open, there's very little chance a burglar will try to climb in the window.
"The kind that welcomes foreign interference?"
Or the kind that welcomes domestic interference. Or both!

"Democratic candidates who want government of the people, by the people, for the people"
Whoa-ho hehehehehehe wee-hee haw haw hahahahaha! Oh my brother, that's a good one!
I'm definitely going to vote for a populist Democrat - right after I buy a bicycle for my goldfish to ride.
There's no need for clumsy shit like voter registration fraud, when computerized voting has enabled widespread election fraud.
Actually I was implying that going to Oxford may have given the king antisemitic sentiments.
