Yeah the corporate and political propagandist trolls are working full time on this story. Want to behave like a dick bag, expect to be called one. Behave like an uncle tom, well, don't be surprised when you are called one. Slime you way into a group, just to use and exploit the group don't be surprised when you are called out and told to bugger off.
When Uncle Tom Obama started random blowing people up with drones, then insults are to be expected and they are whole lot less harmfull than those missiles. Same as cheating justice when the war for profit was exposed as well as mass torture to fabricate evidence.
Political correctness being nothing more than rampant censorship, backed by the effluvium http://www.dictionary.com/brow... that is main stream media. So "every progressive is a totalitarian", where do you think that came from, the fake left or the right. Every corporate schill hiding behind fake politics is a fucking cunt. Political correctness, use of censorship to silence opposition has already reached peak as is collapsing in on itself.
How about this, fairies and pixies may, I repeat 'may' and I do not mean the month of May but http://www.dictionary.com/brow..., just so there is not doubt, well there is actually a whole lot of doubt but now to get back to the point, fairies and pixies may be responsible for all global warming.
So the new corporate double speak science, things might happen, forget the old fashioned, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... In newspeak science, things might happen and things may happen and likely and probably and scientific testing has to only sort of be replicable, sometimes, maybe.
If the scientist can not commit to the report, why the fuck should we.
The problem is far more subtle than you think. Consider what would the ramification of this problem have been if the company had been one tenth its current size. Smaller company and whole less problem, in fact something like one hundredth of the problem. Oversize corporations are an extreme danger to humanity as has been repeatedly demonstrated, simply too much power. Bust them up now.
No your fucking boss does not have the right to spout political propaganda at you every time you start work. If the boss has that right, you should have the right to punch them in the face if you do not like it.
I would lean to genetically modified algae. Easy DNA to modify and with slick engineering, all sorts of foods can be grown, not processed. All grown in controlled environment delivered sealed with no contaminants and designed to be the best food it can be, correct roughage, balanced sugars and proteins, zero allergens, trace elements and all sorts of tastes and textures genetically programmed in. Forget soylent green, think a nice thick plate size broadleaf, ready to be grilled, fresh out of the water. How about drink can sized storage module, cut off at stem, close to stalk and the cut a bit lower to access the drinking part of the stem which acts as a straw, the drink, what ever flavour combinant and mix of sugars and trace elements best serve your health and the stem/straw is chocolate flavoured for a nice snack with the skin being mint flavoured with a nice chew for a snack after.
The genetic simplicity of algae makes it the perfect full spectrum genetic engineered food and pretty much nearly anything can be achieved. Just add the right genes to get the algae to grow into what you want. All produced close to home to minimise transport, some even grown in home aquariums for the freshest possible snack. All the worlds farms become recreation reserves and natural forest, for us to play in and to clean up our environment.
So how much do those lazy fuckers owe when they cripple income and demolish share value, what a 23 million dollar golden parachute, dude your math, it sucks. So tell me again how much that M&M who was demoted at Google (why the shift in companies) now owes the shareholders of Yahoo, go on, do the numbers, I am certain you know exactly where to look on the internet to calculate those numbers. They also talk about the M&M being able to exercise stock options, well, at least that proves they have a sense of humour (Yahoo stock options, bwah ha ha)
Ahh the joys of American exceptionalism and delusions. No, it is still very naughty when the US breaks other countries laws and no, it is still wrong to rape and kill people even when they are outside the US and no, just because US law says it is legal, does not make it legal and well and no, don't bitch and threaten war when other countries do it.
Most people said nothing because they already are pretty aware it is going on and things are already changing with a view to correcting those gross abuses.
Everyone realises that the core of the program is to spy upon every potential politician or political activists and to blackmail them into serving the demands of the US military Industrial complex, specifically the North American Territorial Occupation farce - NATO and it's intelligence services tied to contractors and the CIA. Then only reason, to serve the high profits of the forever war. Besides the fun stuff is yet to come, they were quite clear that you have only seem 1% so far. Honestly you want public interest, you need to realise some of the really interesting stuff and name names. I am sure a lot of victims would not give one crap about being exposed for being spied on for all sorts of weird bullshit reasons. It's becoming like a badge of honour to be shown to be a victim of spy on everyone stupidity, to have the NSA, CIA and NATO on you arse, they spy and you mock, now what could be more fun than that.
In the very first paragraph comes the very first error, "Powering an entire country is very expensive, but Google wants to make it a bit cheaper with no added infrastructure." er wait up, is not that Deepmind thingy going to mean additional computers and software and the power to run it ie additional infrastructure. Seems those deepminds are actually pretty shallow (likely what's deepest about them is the marketing bull puckey, deep indeed).
Reality is, want to save energy and balance out loads, add batteries to peoples houses and maintain a nominal 50% charge and look to recharge instead load shedding and draw power back to the grid when battery has more than fifty percent charge. Does require infrastructure but it will actually work in reality and gives cover for brownouts and add solar panels and VAWT and you are a whole lot better off.
Look at their page https://deepmind.com/, an office without a ceiling. I wonder how much more they have to spend on cleaning, gagillion spots for spider webs, how about the additional air volume to be conditioned, how about crap falling on people (gathers on top of pipes et al, to finally slide off with normal daily bumps and shudders), how about noise control and all those sound reflective surfaces, very poor light reflectance, the lights are not even positioned correctly with regard to work surfaces (the best quality lighting is uplifting), looks all industrial cool and crap but it is a stupid as fuck. If that is the best you shallow minds can managed, you guts really suck. No experts in the office design field obviously.
Say what?!? Crapping on about out sourcing is great fun because regardless of all the marketing bullshit, we will be able to scream out 'I TOLD YOU SO' and laugh. For that alone it is worth it and we will be saying, I told you so and we will be laughing. Stupid is as stupid does and those outsources will know more about your companies than you do and they will insider trade and they will pass the information off to competitors (via the corrupt executive team).
Once you can afford a team, you create one, you only really outsource the overload, to keep your staff busy and active. Else your start paying through the nose and losing huge amounts of staff labour, as each contact has to be paid for and people need to be first available and then make their way across the city and then park and then find you (instead of taking elevator from basement and walking down corridor) and the executives can no longer rely on privacy when they hand over their broken contaminated notebooks.
This before said outsourcers start doing bean counter spreadsheets and implementing shorts cuts and unknown nobodies turn up at your door because they are cheap. Idiots will look at lame spreadsheets that do not properly analyse risks because that is real hard and some executive is due for retirement and is looking to pump up their bonus with stupid savings and who gives a fuck what happens after they are gone. Save a penny to spend a pound http://idioms.thefreedictionar....
We should run betting book on how long it will take to blow up in those idiots faces (I'd bet not much more than three years, although complaints will start pretty early on).
Nope, idiots did it to themselves. I remember that super annoying cringe, when people my age were crapping on about how the children know so much more about computers than they did (and most children knew not much at all) and laughing, pride in ignorance. Well, guess what, they managed to stick that in the mind of those that passed through college and are now reviewing job applications. I would reject most people my own age unless they demonstrated computer geekiness, unless the demonstrate the ability to communicate with millennials and in some countries with horrible records of lead poisoning and still ongoing, looking at you USA, certain at risk regions.
When you take in 100 applications, you are looking for any excuse to drop as many as possible for what ever reason possible to get you down to the minimal number for interviews, less than 10 (having gone through the process on the other side, working through check lists, grading system, rejections and the interviews, more check lists and grading systems, well, you don't want to repeat the whole process a month later, so when in doubt you are out for what ever reason).
Old school, 'rules'. If it ain't worth sayin' to them in person, it very likely ain't worth sayin', just sayin'.
With smart phones, if you are not using it to call someone turn it off (let it message bank up, meh). Check when you make a call or use the smart phone for some of it's smart functions, else, switch that fucker off.
Want control over your digital life, don't believe none of the bullshit about aps being able to do it for you. There is only one real way to gain control over you digital life and that is your willingness to turn it off.
Use you phone to call some one to arrange a meet and then talk in person. No time for the meet and greet, well, start ignoring all the time wasting crap.
Nah doublespeak "Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., will serve the just fine.
Far more accurate headline would be "Facebook and Instagram launch marketing program to trick their users into believing they are no longer being monitored, analysed and targeting with selected manipulative marketing".
One thing I am really curious about is why people think it is OK for corporations to spy on them in ways they think it would and should be illegal for their own government to do (keeping in mind it would likely be illegal for the government to sell it, government data access audits have real bite, the data generally remains in country and you can force corrections). Wow have the mug punters been sold a sack of crap.
Yep, you sheep can sure trust the corporations more than you can your own government, yep, uh huh, you betcha (never forget who owns your government, those same corporations, wow, just, wow).
Dang, that is one ugly PC, who buys it? Of course the flip side is M$ probing you like there is no tomorrow and like they own you and your body (keep in mind that probe will follow you to the dentist, the doctor or even a proctologist when you need one, windows anal probe 10 riding that camera where it has never been before).
So Apple gets to charge a premium. Unfortunate but true, as a lack of competition allows price gouging on one hand or privacy gouging on the other. At least with Apple you pay once, with M$ you'll pay every time you turn on windows 10 (turn on being not so funny when you remember they are watching you masturbate and recording and analysing your efforts, think of that next time, heh, heh, heh;|). So your choice, screwed once or screwed many times.
Oddly enough as market share increases Apple is very likely to drop prices quite a bit in order to grab an even larger piece.
Due to this page http://www.baesystems.com/en/c... they are pretty much screwed any where in the world, when that page hits the court. False advertising, contractual misrepresentation and employment under false conditions. Why they chose this path, in this incident, is likely indicated of poor hiring practices, specifically the human resources twit, who will likely be looking for a new job (one rush of ego and power trip and millions of dollars of recruiting advertising pissed against the wall). That BAE have to self promote extensively to hire people into Death industries, is pretty indicative of unpopular working for them has become, if affect making their employees death eaters (oddly apt for them, http://scifi.stackexchange.com... and they sick desire to fully control the deaths of others). It really is a crap industry, surviving on the death and misery on others but they like to tell themselves they provide for the defence of their country. Nah, just greedy and a lack of self conscious though to guide them past the immorality of their employment.
Puts me in two minds about the victim, when employees or ex-employees of death industries want us to be sorry for them when they show not the slightest bit of sympathy or empathy for the people their efforts mangle, main and kill, men, women and children and even their pets. Like all things a choice but not empathy for others in your employment choice but you demand empathy. Might be a bit harsh but when those death industries actively and corruptly promote war, and lobby for more conflict with complete disregard for all those they kill, you have to start looking at their employees in a different way, even when you are related.
No, the smart move in this case was to empty you place of anything they could steal and then carry on like an lunatic pork chop and force them to execute the warrant and then simply bring all the stuff back. Typically forcing the execution of the warrant by triggering the ego of the officers in question and ensuring a system of live streaming cameras were available to witness the trashing and allowing for civil suit for damages. Right now there is still a warrant hanging over their heads and if they did not have what the police wanted, the police would still likely believe they had it and execute the raid anyhow. So ask someone to temporarily store you important digital stuff and force the exercising of the warrant and once done, well, it is done.
I do not understand the gullibility of US workers, seriously WTF? The rule should be hire locals first than if none are available THAN YOU FUCKING TRAIN THEM!!! Seriously what the fuck is the matter with you guys, not guts, no genitals, please sir may I have another, what the fuckity fuck fucking fuck. No one available, then pay to train them, user pays, what is wrong with you people. As the corporations demand from you, so you demand from the fucking corporations.
I have not seen many of the tweets but the few that I have come across rerererepeated across the internet, whilst I doubt very stronly they were typed in by Trump, every indication is they most definately were dictated by Trump.
Bots on twitter mean the death of Twitter, it will fill full of marketdroid bots, public relations bullshit bots and government propaganda bots, talking to each, generating hits so that twitter can scam advertisers into spending money on nothing, those bots are buying nothing.
For real users trapped on twitter, it will become the digital equivalent of a Kafkaesque nightmare. They will trapped in between all those bots demanding all sorts of behaviour and responses, really sick stuff.
The big thing up and coming thing on the internet identity verification and freedom from bots, marketdroids, public relations liars, government propagandists, a real end user system of tagging trolls.
It seems the 'professional' plugging M$ cloud are just really, really lazy and greedy. Take the credit and the pay and blame M$ when it all blows up, which it inevitably will. The bigger your company the sillier you are to trust the cloud because it will fail, it absolutely guaranteed will fail and catastrophically so. Never ever forget, they will take short cuts to inflate profits, they will pry into what they store because it is literally worth billions in insider information, the cloud serves you web interests and they more about you web business than they do and they are your competitors and that is really stupid.
Big enough and I would stop trusting ISPs and roll my own, it just makes not sense to trust outsiders in the digital age with anything. Once you are big enough, you grow your IT infrastructure sufficiently to contract out elements to others. The worst thing you can ever do in business is feed your competitors, you should be doing the exact opposite starving them out of existence.
The problem is they were doing the initial uploading to temp others to share ie download and upload. As the legal copyright holders or the representative it means their upload means that content went public domain and they could make no legal claim anymore, they did give permission to share that content by making it available to share.
The real legal problem, their really, really dangerous action they took, was an attack upon the legal systems, to purposefully defraud and abuse it. Every time they went into court, they were attacking the court, attacking the integrity of the judge and the judges court, as a purposeful extended scam.
So fucked, just so fucked. I could not imagine them getting anything less than maximum sentences on repeated counts, again and again and again and etc etc etc. The next judge is not just going to throw the book at them but every single possible volume. Oh wow, turning courts into scams, this is a real attack on the justice system, a real threat to justice, for what they gained mind a bogglingly stupid idea.
Next step in this story should be a in depth investigation of why the new incoming politician pushed so hard on this apparently with zero consultation with his IT staff. Most probable, M$ paid them a bribe (campaign contribution) to push it, so the arse holes at M$ could use if for marketing purposed and the stupendously invasive POS windows anal probe 10, dies a slow grim death.
For the wilfully ignorant. The principle of daylight savings time is that you are not asleep when the sunrises and daylight last longer in the evening reducing lighting requirements.
For incredible idiots who waffle on about natural cycles, the whole principle of alarm clocks are an assault upon natural cycles. For farmers, well of course, the I'm alright jack princple because they already have to adjust the alarms all of the time to suit the animals working on natural cycles and adjusting the clock twice per year as well as altering the alarms more regularly, what a pack of arse holes.
Oh my god, the agony and the pain of having to adjust any not computer clock twice a year, some people are are just infinitely stupid. With computer we could in fact do it many more times a year, even monthly with clocks automatically adjusting but the Luddites must rule because they are jealous in the arrogance of anything that to them stinks of intellect.
The core human right is to be allowed to be as self destructive as you wish, should you wish to spread the destructiveness, you should be isolated in the least costly way possible, that cost not just of your citizens pockets but of their lives as well. How many of your own citizens are you willing to sacrifice to feed your urge for questionable human rights, not measured by those in question nor the citizens you are willing to sacrifice but by your own definition.
A human has the right to exist as a wild human, should they so choose, with all the negativity and primitiveness that it implies, including them hunting and killing each other, as long as that is contained within wild human zones. You grant humans less rights than other wild animals and that is a gross deceit and a theft of their rights. Should they choose to live wild, than so be it, as long as that wildness is contained. You have no right to deny them wildness and if they do not submit dying in prison, you are the violator in your need to feed you sensibilities.
Let them live and wild, violent and primitive as they choose as long as the keep to themselves within their own wild zones. As for the lowest animals so it should be fair for humans, it is obscene to grant animals rights and then deny those rights to humans, as if they are lower beings only entitled to labour for others or spend their lives in prisons.
Now that fully recognises human rights, even if those humans want to hunt, kill and eat each other, no different to any other wild animal.
Not that bad if you read the article and noted it was high altitude aerial views and in terms of recognition of trees everyone would fail. There is not detail on resolution of images taken or multiple images stitched together or altitude and based on the images no attempt was made to recognise divergent conditions, autumn, substantial different trees types and even shrubbery versus trees. The were not ever clear on with it differentiated between trees or clumps of trees.
Fractal pattern recognition seems the most sound way to go. Find all unique points and attempt to establish and recognise fractal patterns around those points and where applicable converge those unique points into fractal patterns. Recognising fractals patterns should be easier for computers and they will be quite distinct for various material types.
The reason for open data sharing. It enables pockets of corruption within various organisation to collude together without ringing alarm bells about that network traffic ie 'why is a senior FBI agent talking to the CIA that much, oh because he is a CIA agent operating illegally within the country corrupting investigation of the CIA conducting criminal activities within the country'. Still stupid though, the network can still be configured to ring alarm bells, they just open a quite investigation instead and eventually quietly force a retirement, yeah the FBI has a whole lot of housework to do hardware, software and wetware (that will be more explosive politically and media wise, especially how far the CIA went to corrupt investigations and genuine FBI agents being harmed as a result). The CIS investigating the CIA will not be anywhere near as harsh as the FBI investigating the CIA and the FBI has every reason to be super pissed off. Never forget the current US administration is pretty pissed off with the CIA at this time and you can bet there will be some real shit in there to haul the CIA across the coals, the more they look, the more they will find and revenge is sweet.

Nah, just greedy and a lack of self conscious though to guide them past the immorality of their employment.
Puts me in two minds about the victim, when employees or ex-employees of death industries want us to be sorry for them when they show not the slightest bit of sympathy or empathy for the people their efforts mangle, main and kill, men, women and children and even their pets. Like all things a choice but not empathy for others in your employment choice but you demand empathy. Might be a bit harsh but when those death industries actively and corruptly promote war, and lobby for more conflict with complete disregard for all those they kill, you have to start looking at their employees in a different way, even when you are related.
No, the smart move in this case was to empty you place of anything they could steal and then carry on like an lunatic pork chop and force them to execute the warrant and then simply bring all the stuff back. Typically forcing the execution of the warrant by triggering the ego of the officers in question and ensuring a system of live streaming cameras were available to witness the trashing and allowing for civil suit for damages. Right now there is still a warrant hanging over their heads and if they did not have what the police wanted, the police would still likely believe they had it and execute the raid anyhow. So ask someone to temporarily store you important digital stuff and force the exercising of the warrant and once done, well, it is done.
I do not understand the gullibility of US workers, seriously WTF? The rule should be hire locals first than if none are available THAN YOU FUCKING TRAIN THEM!!! Seriously what the fuck is the matter with you guys, not guts, no genitals, please sir may I have another, what the fuckity fuck fucking fuck. No one available, then pay to train them, user pays, what is wrong with you people. As the corporations demand from you, so you demand from the fucking corporations.
I have not seen many of the tweets but the few that I have come across rerererepeated across the internet, whilst I doubt very stronly they were typed in by Trump, every indication is they most definately were dictated by Trump.
Bots on twitter mean the death of Twitter, it will fill full of marketdroid bots, public relations bullshit bots and government propaganda bots, talking to each, generating hits so that twitter can scam advertisers into spending money on nothing, those bots are buying nothing.
For real users trapped on twitter, it will become the digital equivalent of a Kafkaesque nightmare. They will trapped in between all those bots demanding all sorts of behaviour and responses, really sick stuff.
The big thing up and coming thing on the internet identity verification and freedom from bots, marketdroids, public relations liars, government propagandists, a real end user system of tagging trolls.
It seems the 'professional' plugging M$ cloud are just really, really lazy and greedy. Take the credit and the pay and blame M$ when it all blows up, which it inevitably will. The bigger your company the sillier you are to trust the cloud because it will fail, it absolutely guaranteed will fail and catastrophically so. Never ever forget, they will take short cuts to inflate profits, they will pry into what they store because it is literally worth billions in insider information, the cloud serves you web interests and they more about you web business than they do and they are your competitors and that is really stupid.
Big enough and I would stop trusting ISPs and roll my own, it just makes not sense to trust outsiders in the digital age with anything. Once you are big enough, you grow your IT infrastructure sufficiently to contract out elements to others. The worst thing you can ever do in business is feed your competitors, you should be doing the exact opposite starving them out of existence.
The problem is they were doing the initial uploading to temp others to share ie download and upload. As the legal copyright holders or the representative it means their upload means that content went public domain and they could make no legal claim anymore, they did give permission to share that content by making it available to share.
The real legal problem, their really, really dangerous action they took, was an attack upon the legal systems, to purposefully defraud and abuse it. Every time they went into court, they were attacking the court, attacking the integrity of the judge and the judges court, as a purposeful extended scam.
So fucked, just so fucked. I could not imagine them getting anything less than maximum sentences on repeated counts, again and again and again and etc etc etc. The next judge is not just going to throw the book at them but every single possible volume. Oh wow, turning courts into scams, this is a real attack on the justice system, a real threat to justice, for what they gained mind a bogglingly stupid idea.
Apparantly you are wrong, https://www.google.com.au/sear... leads to https://ask.libreoffice.org/en.... Wow that was really so hard.
Next step in this story should be a in depth investigation of why the new incoming politician pushed so hard on this apparently with zero consultation with his IT staff. Most probable, M$ paid them a bribe (campaign contribution) to push it, so the arse holes at M$ could use if for marketing purposed and the stupendously invasive POS windows anal probe 10, dies a slow grim death.
For the wilfully ignorant. The principle of daylight savings time is that you are not asleep when the sunrises and daylight last longer in the evening reducing lighting requirements.
For incredible idiots who waffle on about natural cycles, the whole principle of alarm clocks are an assault upon natural cycles. For farmers, well of course, the I'm alright jack princple because they already have to adjust the alarms all of the time to suit the animals working on natural cycles and adjusting the clock twice per year as well as altering the alarms more regularly, what a pack of arse holes.
Oh my god, the agony and the pain of having to adjust any not computer clock twice a year, some people are are just infinitely stupid. With computer we could in fact do it many more times a year, even monthly with clocks automatically adjusting but the Luddites must rule because they are jealous in the arrogance of anything that to them stinks of intellect.
The core human right is to be allowed to be as self destructive as you wish, should you wish to spread the destructiveness, you should be isolated in the least costly way possible, that cost not just of your citizens pockets but of their lives as well. How many of your own citizens are you willing to sacrifice to feed your urge for questionable human rights, not measured by those in question nor the citizens you are willing to sacrifice but by your own definition.
A human has the right to exist as a wild human, should they so choose, with all the negativity and primitiveness that it implies, including them hunting and killing each other, as long as that is contained within wild human zones. You grant humans less rights than other wild animals and that is a gross deceit and a theft of their rights. Should they choose to live wild, than so be it, as long as that wildness is contained. You have no right to deny them wildness and if they do not submit dying in prison, you are the violator in your need to feed you sensibilities.
Let them live and wild, violent and primitive as they choose as long as the keep to themselves within their own wild zones. As for the lowest animals so it should be fair for humans, it is obscene to grant animals rights and then deny those rights to humans, as if they are lower beings only entitled to labour for others or spend their lives in prisons.
Now that fully recognises human rights, even if those humans want to hunt, kill and eat each other, no different to any other wild animal.
Not that bad if you read the article and noted it was high altitude aerial views and in terms of recognition of trees everyone would fail. There is not detail on resolution of images taken or multiple images stitched together or altitude and based on the images no attempt was made to recognise divergent conditions, autumn, substantial different trees types and even shrubbery versus trees. The were not ever clear on with it differentiated between trees or clumps of trees.
Fractal pattern recognition seems the most sound way to go. Find all unique points and attempt to establish and recognise fractal patterns around those points and where applicable converge those unique points into fractal patterns. Recognising fractals patterns should be easier for computers and they will be quite distinct for various material types.
The reason for open data sharing. It enables pockets of corruption within various organisation to collude together without ringing alarm bells about that network traffic ie 'why is a senior FBI agent talking to the CIA that much, oh because he is a CIA agent operating illegally within the country corrupting investigation of the CIA conducting criminal activities within the country'. Still stupid though, the network can still be configured to ring alarm bells, they just open a quite investigation instead and eventually quietly force a retirement, yeah the FBI has a whole lot of housework to do hardware, software and wetware (that will be more explosive politically and media wise, especially how far the CIA went to corrupt investigations and genuine FBI agents being harmed as a result). The CIS investigating the CIA will not be anywhere near as harsh as the FBI investigating the CIA and the FBI has every reason to be super pissed off. Never forget the current US administration is pretty pissed off with the CIA at this time and you can bet there will be some real shit in there to haul the CIA across the coals, the more they look, the more they will find and revenge is sweet.
