Foreign espionage, what does that even mean any more. The USA via the idiots in the NSA and especially in the CIA kicked off this game and now we all have to pay the price. Forget national interest espionage, this is all becoming corporate for profit hacking. You can destroy competing corporations with the right hack, you can free up the customers they have captured so you can take them, you can shut down operations, wipe out government contracts for security breaches, steal proprietary methods, capture code and obtain valuable data.
By playing and actively promoting the game, including purpose inclusion and retention of security bugs, breaking security features that others could exploit and of course creating destructively code and releasing it to the wild (all subsequent attacks by law are their fault and they should be held accountable), the set this stupid element of the corporate wars off, got it going, fed it on purpose because ego and stupid.
It is going to get worse, there is way too much money in corporations successfully hacking other corporations based upon the demonstrated lessons of the NSA and CIA for it not to happen and happen a lot. Could like trying to hire people now, training will take precedence of hiring in skill because trust and it only takes one bad leak to do an enormous amount of digital harm.
Whether data should be kept or deleted will be in the conditions of use. Now taking into account the current we don't give a fuck, dick brained attitude of typical programmers, bugs are normal features of all their programs. There 100% will be a clause something along the lines of, 'Your data we warrant it not, not in the least, not only will we not bother to protect it, we wont bother to preserve it, we don't give one fuck about it, WATCH THIS AD INSTEAD'.
Why are they bothering with court, they don't wont to remind end user how few fucks are given about their data, watch this ad instead, we know you want it, we know you like it, watch the ad. They serve ads, that is all they warrant they will do, the rest is bait to get you to the ads. Could you seriously imagine any of them ever warranting the protection of your data for 'ENTERNITY', wake the fuck up.
The great click bait war. What a joke, it's so fucking stupid, they do not even have a record of what the click bait actually clicked to. Sure the click bait was targeted but that is the whole idea, nothing about selling anything, just getting people to click the ad, which directs them to a paying ad. Here is how the scam works, what you do is go to an internet advertising group and find out how much they charge for clicks. Then you hunt around to find how much companies will pay for clicks. Then once you find a company that charges less, than what you can charge, your advertise on their site with click bait. The user clicks the paid for ad, which takes them to another ad which the click baiting firm gets paid, more than they paid. The US government knows this, everyone in the industry knows, this. So straight up flagrant lies and disingenuous deceit by the US government in nothing by criminally corrupt justice practices, so completely and totally and utterly full of shit.
So now if you work for American defence industries expect to be targeted for sanctions but of course the US government does not give a crap about your inconvenience. This sanction game is going to come back and bite the US on the ass really, really hard.
Is there a way you can apply for a US sanction for free (I wouldn't bother to pay for it, not that funny, well not much anyhow), I wouldn't mind one, especially if it came with a frame able document with a wax seal of validity. Anyone know a relatively safe way to by sanctioned by the insane US state department. Is there like a specific SJW nutburger you can insult or something. How about applying for a job with a sanctioned Russian company, will that help?
The whole concept is a stupid as fuck. Have a large list of people, who a very similar (we are not all the same), in measured characteristics, introduce more characteristics until sufficient difference is found to be more selective. In this case, simply get them to participate in an IQ test, the winners win. Quite reasonable working upon the basis that all other measured characteristics are equal. Only US law enforcers think they can win by going for lower intelligence (civil court costs should have well and truly proved that by now), everyone else knows the smarter, all other things being equal, the better.
Simply not true but who cares any more, no one is listening and it has all become rather boring. Russia is now a technocracy at federal level and that is now spreading down to state and local level at quite the pace.
Licensing all bloggers as censorship system only really works in countries with a specific genetic characteristic, has to do with a certain scoring system where the average is 100 (I am humouring myself with empty political correctness). In those countries there are a very limited number of people can can produce blogs and forums, most can not, more along the line of an ignorant mob consuming and absorbing what ever belief is the flavour of the moment, from albino witches to having sex with a virgin as a cure for aids.
So how will it affect democracy in those countries. Honestly, truly honestly, democracy only really works above a certain intellect, below that and you are too subject to the vagaries of empty beliefs to make sound decisions about a whole range of subject, including who to vote for (you know the crud, I voted for them because of the way they talked, I voted for them because of their religion, I voted for them because they looked good, I voted for them because I was told to or the inevitable I voted for them because they are going to make us 'ALL' rich, even when that is factually impossible, you can not have minority rich with majority poor).
Tanzania does something weird with the internet this week, meh, I sure they'll do something weird with chickens or witches next week https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... Perhaps they have just confused blogging with witch craft, must be that idiot Pompeo's fault https://www.rt.com/usa/384667-..., they thought the internet must be full of demons and witches, the US government said so.
This comment high lights the reality of drug sniffing dogs. Did the same person who put the drugs under the bowl, handle the other bowl and hence spoiled the experiment. In the case of dogs sniffing electronics, well, that is a scam and lie and devious misdirection. So what did they sniff, why the person handling the device and the device is likely to be pretty onerous considering what the person is doing and will be handling the device before and after. So smelling the person and not the device but the whole house should smell of the person, a little yes but anything they touch with smelly body parts will smell more. The reason US police dogs fail, largely because county mounties and they don't really care and are just filling quota and the dog is not properly trained and is just for show and for occasionally eating people randomly for fun. US law enforcing dogs perform badly because training is poor and the training is poor because they don't care about results, they will just lie any how and corrupt courts will back it up.
Best prank at concert with drug sniffing dogs, coat the ground on approaches with bong water and let the fun begin as everyone who steps in it, is arrested for drugs in their shoes.
Every citizen would be required to seek approval from a private for profit corporation, to be allowed access to all the essentials of life based upon paying the required corporate for profit taxes for life, stop paying and die of starvation in the cold on the street.
Any citizen, who challenges any protected corporation at any time, will have their permission to access to all the essentials of life withdrawn. Zero means of survival with the approval of a for profit corporation. Cashless in a capitalist society is a close as practicable to slavery without crossing some imaginary line, lean right over sure, the citizen is now a corporate slave who must pay corporate taxes or be denied access to any of the essentials of life.
Imagine a dispute with the corporation that controls your finances. There start from the point of cutting off your access to your money, because it is no longer yours, it is theirs. Your phone dies because you can no longer pay and the telecom corporation has been informed. You can not catch a taxi, you can not even pay for public transport. Oh yeah, your negotiations with that controlling corporation are going to go really well. Think for a second you will be safe with more than one account with more that one group, fuck off, the first thing they will do is notify each other to make sure you are fucked from the get go.
Any government that pushes cash free in capitalist society is betraying it citizens and those politicians are straight traitors, and should be investigated and prosecuted as such. Cashless in capitalism is slavery, straight up.
Getting to the patent office first is a lie. You can publish it and then only you can patent it there in after. First to patent is a lie, first to publicly demonstrate win, it's called prior art. You must prove new and original work and you can not do that in the face of existing public work. Oh sure the USPTO will accept it but they are as corrupt as fuck and have been set up to accept pretty much anything because woo hoo, get to contest it in a US court and US lawyers make all the money, hence done corruptly on purpose by corrupt lawyers in the first place.
Switching from the EU to US for the patent post rejection wont work either and will only launch a major patent fight between the EU and US and Google will be blamed and will be severely punished for choosing to challenge all the governments of Europe, they will find a whole host of things to penalise them with.
Hardly surprising like most US tech companies, the norm is to lie, cheat and steal, honour and integrity seen as nothing but an impediment to evil is as evil does profit first, last and everything in between.
Disclosure of an idea does not prevent the original holder of that idea from patenting it, not in the least, they can still choose to do so at any time there in after, indirectly most often as others want to exercise that patent and choose to do it through the original idea publisher. Putting it our there, just puts it on patent hold for a time blocking other attempts to patent. The idea always remains new and novel for the person who come up with it and hence they can always still patent it. What they can charge in patent fees, well, that's just an extended court battle and any company could have sought to patent the idea through them prior to attempting to steal it.
No problem, never want to get busted by the FBI for lying to them, all to easy, simply express you opinion always, never ever make statements of fact ie I believe this happened, I remember this, in my opinion. Don't even make statements of fake, only express you opinion on what you believed occurred but you can't be certain. If you are not sure, clearly state you are not sure and you should always be not sure. First choice, don't answer questions, second choice do it all in writing, written questions and answers, third choice only ever express your opinion, never statements of fact, they are for the court room only.
The desktop is dead, in favour of smart terminals and notebooks. Tablets are for the empty consumption of content and obviously will be the computer for the majority, along with a smart TV (keep in mind the 100IQ is average and at 100 you are not a big computer users or a content creator, still the majority market). Tablets are utter shit for creating content, just the way it is.
Desktops are down to power users and M$ is busily pissing them off with forced software installs, using them as crash test dummies for patches for business users and of course data mine their hard disk drives.
The Devil is in the detail, Google won't be using AI to hunt and kill women and children, oh no, Alphabet will, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..... Google evil is as evil does no matter how much you bullshit brand shift.
Determine is not the same as discuss. Americans can determine their own countries government, whilst the rest of the world discuss publicly the corruption at every level in US government, from political parties to local councils, corrupt as fuck. Clinton the corporate whore, the Shrub, Darth Cheney, Uncle Tom Obama the Choom Gang Coward, all are up for discussion, get the fuck over it.
The Thirteen Russian trolls thing was entirely bullshit, the ads were not ads at all, they were click bait, that led to pay per view ads, nothing more, no interest in affecting the election, just wanting people to click that ad that led to another ad.
Americans, you so full of shit, Texas bullshit, more shit that the rest of the world combine, exceptional bullshit for the exceptional country, ohhh fuck off.
Well, that would be no further than my recliner chair, with custom over bed table for the monitor and keyboard and https://www.gutenberg.org/. Largely my book reading days are over, and that is from over the top avid reader. The internet provides me with more reading than possible, split with interactions and moving or still images and of course even books.
Although it would make sense for public libraries to be maintained for tech works et al just in case things fuck up. For me though, the internet is my interactive library, pretty much where ever I go and the best version is the one in my own lounge room.
Well I could not imagine M$ losing more trust with FOSS users, or users who expect privacy, or users who make the foolish demand to control what software is installed on their hardware or user who do not expect the systems to be used as crash test dummies for corporate systems at upgrade time. Yeah trust with them, well, definitely into negative territory so from the M$ perspective nothing to lose.
DOS 2.1 through to windows 7 definitely not windows 10 not ever, done, finished, they can fuck right off. It's a trust issue specifically a lack of one. Have not purchased an M$ product in years, none and no intention of changing now.
Patents are expiring so probably nothing more than loud legal screaming at being over. Although I suppose the US being a greed first country, I'll bet they'll be looking to extend patents along with copyright 'to infinity and beyond', the USA has become so lame.
US based multi-national corporations run by psychopaths only accept egoistic win at all costs management. They are actively using their control over the US government to cripple other countries economically so that they can continue to exploit them. The US has fucked up the EU economy on purpose and they know and they are pissed. The US is attacking China to remain dominant over it. The more South America unites, the more the US government attacks individual countries in South America to destabilise it. The US attacks Russia to stop it technologically developing because of the depth of it's resources and it also will outcompete the US.
Basically US corporations together with US corporations are psychopathically stomping all over the plane to do exactly what they publicly stated, dominate in every sphere, whether by hook or by crook or by regime change or the backing of terrorists or economic war via sanctions or banking scams or NGOs (there's a laugh, non fucking government, what a joke). Although they are definitely doing harm to the entire world, a lot of it, they also do greater harm to their own future, so collapse now, is inevitable.
So yeah, the US is basically insane psychopathic capitalism at work, attacking every other economy so that it can egotistically dominate (not for any benefit or greater purpose, just ego and nothing more). Other governments are adapting to that reality.
You don't have to accept anything, you can become politically active and force corporations to accept the regulations that you supported and helped to push through. It is a choice, unhappy, well don't just take it, stick it to them. Write bad reviews, complain to your politicians, they one who you campaign against should they decline the issue, chat with others, promote the regulation, and little by little, eventually you become the little train that could. That is exactly how it works in reality, you can change it, it is a choice and the effort, well it depends upon how good you are, the better the less effort.
Now that points to the second suit, which Samsung have just stitched themselves up with. No longer going to upgrade the phone, then by law pretty much you have to give customers full access to the phone as an option so they can update it themselves and now Samsung does not have a leg to stand on. They will have to provide root access to no longer upgraded phones upon owner request, likely having to supply software to do it.
Technically they are fascists and the name of the party was nicknamed by the Poms as being Nazi's. So not even a political ideology, just branding and for example the word socialism just thrown in there for marketing purposes and not because they were socialists, they were fascists, which is a combinant of private companies and government, acting as one ie the US government is a fascist government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., still little 'f' though and not yet capital 'F' but it looks to be going there.
Nope. Clearly the government of China is impressed by developments in Russia and are themselves going to pursue changing China to a technocracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Democratic at the mid to high level and the rest are taught to vote the right way. It is in line with current trends, it provides significant developmental and economic advantages. The US kakistocracy is rapidly consuming itself, a snake eating it's own tale, being eaten alive by corruption and trying to compete with technocracies will tip it into collapse (it will have to spend enormous amounts whilst corruption steals away most of what is spent but the demand to spend more in order to compete with the technocracies will drive it to continue even though corruption is consuming all of its efforts beyond be able to spread chaos and carnage).
People invariably believe what they want to believe and they will believe all kinds of shit well beyond the propaganda they are served. Propaganda only works in a vacuum, they need to silence all voices except the handful they approve and that is impossible on the internet.
If you were looking for an intelligent response and blossoming of awareness, perhaps you need to sit back and accept the reality that an IQ of 100 is the average so half the people are dumber than that and 100 ain't all that bright, 110 is not really significant and 115 is getting closer to where real understanding exists. The majority of people are empty consumers of content apart from empty meaningless speech, that is the way it is, and that is the way the majority of the internet will appear.
However it is not a vacuum of understanding because more intellectual people now share communications and look to change the way the ill informed think. It is much more accessible to the intellectually minded and they way, way outnumber the shallower thinking con artists. The general public still require educators and they will require them for the whole of their lives, if you want them to do, it is your job to educate, just the way it is.
Democracy is thriving on the internet, ignore the marketing and especially ignore the fads, you are trying to decide future political outcomes upon the way hula hoops move. The masses, you only pay attention to what they are learning and you seek ways to change that to produce better outcomes.
Besides teens always rebel, I just wander how they will rebel against social media, probably take it out on the companies involved.
What point playing the game if you pay to win. What have you won, you have won nothing, you just paid to pretend you did win because you can afford to pay to pretend you did win, even though you are not actually winning anything, just pretending you did and pretending to yourself because you can afford to.
So spending as a goal unto itself, much like greed has become a goal unto itself, actual achievements, nobody gives a shit about them any more.
Elections matter in Russia because they are contested by the technocracy that has taken over. No denying Putin is their man but they are now tens of thousands up there all holding power and influence and it is spreading from Federal government level down to state and country, a definitive shift to a technocracy and elections do count, a least amongst the technocrats, the plebes just vote they way they are taught, by technocrats but it is very much democratic amongst the technocrats and you must perform or you are removed. It seems it will spread, the growth of a multi-polar technocracy, it will be interesting.
As for banning aps, the Russian government kind of stuck themselves in it from the silly point, trying to control the ap, a mistake, you only ever target the revenue, the ap is meaningless, it could be replaced by a FOSS ap and you have nothing to ban but code, good luck with that. So you simply target the revenue upon an increasing scale, targeting all employees income sources as well as investor returns and of course advertisers served, they'll pay twice for that ad. Target revenue and oh look you have generated a revenue source for government. Ban enough things, quite a revenue stream to tap into.
To ban an app, you have to charge people with the device who are running that ap, an on the spot fine. Use the ap to identify them, track them to a location with the cell network and at transport choke points, inspect their phone, make them pay a fine and delete the ap or confiscate the phone but to do this would be nuts.
Under the glare of the internet the marketing fad for diamonds has simply collapsed. Just another egoistic fad of purported superiority via access to imagined exclusivity. The leading victim of marketing indicator diamonds but with nasty women, pearls still take the lead, the excreted coatings of a shell fish to coat an irritant (much preferred by nasty bitches for some reason must be a subconscious reflection that the pearl is actually a measure of irritation hence the jewellery of the irritating, a subconscious symbol).
A lot of fads will fall as they marketing manipulation collapses, their inability to control the flow of content, regardless of scum like google pushing back to feed insatiable greed, whilst everyone else tries to push sanity back into global gestalt.
It's just a gross and ugly celebration of mass consumption, of wallowing like a pig at a trough, struggling to consumer more and more, even claiming the creation of wealth by empty wasteful, really quite ugly excess consumption of resources and the generation of pollution, seeming to go for the cheery on top by facilitating the laundering of the proceeds of crime. In affect creating a public party of loathsomely excessive consumption, let's all play to our demise, the creation of more consumption to produce fewer illusionary coins, a fitting end for mud monkeys with delusions of grandeur.

Patents are expiring so probably nothing more than loud legal screaming at being over. Although I suppose the US being a greed first country, I'll bet they'll be looking to extend patents along with copyright 'to infinity and beyond', the USA has become so lame.
US based multi-national corporations run by psychopaths only accept egoistic win at all costs management. They are actively using their control over the US government to cripple other countries economically so that they can continue to exploit them. The US has fucked up the EU economy on purpose and they know and they are pissed. The US is attacking China to remain dominant over it. The more South America unites, the more the US government attacks individual countries in South America to destabilise it. The US attacks Russia to stop it technologically developing because of the depth of it's resources and it also will outcompete the US.
Basically US corporations together with US corporations are psychopathically stomping all over the plane to do exactly what they publicly stated, dominate in every sphere, whether by hook or by crook or by regime change or the backing of terrorists or economic war via sanctions or banking scams or NGOs (there's a laugh, non fucking government, what a joke). Although they are definitely doing harm to the entire world, a lot of it, they also do greater harm to their own future, so collapse now, is inevitable.
So yeah, the US is basically insane psychopathic capitalism at work, attacking every other economy so that it can egotistically dominate (not for any benefit or greater purpose, just ego and nothing more). Other governments are adapting to that reality.
You don't have to accept anything, you can become politically active and force corporations to accept the regulations that you supported and helped to push through. It is a choice, unhappy, well don't just take it, stick it to them. Write bad reviews, complain to your politicians, they one who you campaign against should they decline the issue, chat with others, promote the regulation, and little by little, eventually you become the little train that could. That is exactly how it works in reality, you can change it, it is a choice and the effort, well it depends upon how good you are, the better the less effort.
Now that points to the second suit, which Samsung have just stitched themselves up with. No longer going to upgrade the phone, then by law pretty much you have to give customers full access to the phone as an option so they can update it themselves and now Samsung does not have a leg to stand on. They will have to provide root access to no longer upgraded phones upon owner request, likely having to supply software to do it.
Technically they are fascists and the name of the party was nicknamed by the Poms as being Nazi's. So not even a political ideology, just branding and for example the word socialism just thrown in there for marketing purposes and not because they were socialists, they were fascists, which is a combinant of private companies and government, acting as one ie the US government is a fascist government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., still little 'f' though and not yet capital 'F' but it looks to be going there.
Nope. Clearly the government of China is impressed by developments in Russia and are themselves going to pursue changing China to a technocracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Democratic at the mid to high level and the rest are taught to vote the right way. It is in line with current trends, it provides significant developmental and economic advantages. The US kakistocracy is rapidly consuming itself, a snake eating it's own tale, being eaten alive by corruption and trying to compete with technocracies will tip it into collapse (it will have to spend enormous amounts whilst corruption steals away most of what is spent but the demand to spend more in order to compete with the technocracies will drive it to continue even though corruption is consuming all of its efforts beyond be able to spread chaos and carnage).
People invariably believe what they want to believe and they will believe all kinds of shit well beyond the propaganda they are served. Propaganda only works in a vacuum, they need to silence all voices except the handful they approve and that is impossible on the internet.
If you were looking for an intelligent response and blossoming of awareness, perhaps you need to sit back and accept the reality that an IQ of 100 is the average so half the people are dumber than that and 100 ain't all that bright, 110 is not really significant and 115 is getting closer to where real understanding exists. The majority of people are empty consumers of content apart from empty meaningless speech, that is the way it is, and that is the way the majority of the internet will appear.
However it is not a vacuum of understanding because more intellectual people now share communications and look to change the way the ill informed think. It is much more accessible to the intellectually minded and they way, way outnumber the shallower thinking con artists. The general public still require educators and they will require them for the whole of their lives, if you want them to do, it is your job to educate, just the way it is.
Democracy is thriving on the internet, ignore the marketing and especially ignore the fads, you are trying to decide future political outcomes upon the way hula hoops move. The masses, you only pay attention to what they are learning and you seek ways to change that to produce better outcomes.
Besides teens always rebel, I just wander how they will rebel against social media, probably take it out on the companies involved.
What point playing the game if you pay to win. What have you won, you have won nothing, you just paid to pretend you did win because you can afford to pay to pretend you did win, even though you are not actually winning anything, just pretending you did and pretending to yourself because you can afford to.
So spending as a goal unto itself, much like greed has become a goal unto itself, actual achievements, nobody gives a shit about them any more.
Elections matter in Russia because they are contested by the technocracy that has taken over. No denying Putin is their man but they are now tens of thousands up there all holding power and influence and it is spreading from Federal government level down to state and country, a definitive shift to a technocracy and elections do count, a least amongst the technocrats, the plebes just vote they way they are taught, by technocrats but it is very much democratic amongst the technocrats and you must perform or you are removed. It seems it will spread, the growth of a multi-polar technocracy, it will be interesting.
As for banning aps, the Russian government kind of stuck themselves in it from the silly point, trying to control the ap, a mistake, you only ever target the revenue, the ap is meaningless, it could be replaced by a FOSS ap and you have nothing to ban but code, good luck with that. So you simply target the revenue upon an increasing scale, targeting all employees income sources as well as investor returns and of course advertisers served, they'll pay twice for that ad. Target revenue and oh look you have generated a revenue source for government. Ban enough things, quite a revenue stream to tap into.
To ban an app, you have to charge people with the device who are running that ap, an on the spot fine. Use the ap to identify them, track them to a location with the cell network and at transport choke points, inspect their phone, make them pay a fine and delete the ap or confiscate the phone but to do this would be nuts.
Under the glare of the internet the marketing fad for diamonds has simply collapsed. Just another egoistic fad of purported superiority via access to imagined exclusivity. The leading victim of marketing indicator diamonds but with nasty women, pearls still take the lead, the excreted coatings of a shell fish to coat an irritant (much preferred by nasty bitches for some reason must be a subconscious reflection that the pearl is actually a measure of irritation hence the jewellery of the irritating, a subconscious symbol).
A lot of fads will fall as they marketing manipulation collapses, their inability to control the flow of content, regardless of scum like google pushing back to feed insatiable greed, whilst everyone else tries to push sanity back into global gestalt.
It's just a gross and ugly celebration of mass consumption, of wallowing like a pig at a trough, struggling to consumer more and more, even claiming the creation of wealth by empty wasteful, really quite ugly excess consumption of resources and the generation of pollution, seeming to go for the cheery on top by facilitating the laundering of the proceeds of crime. In affect creating a public party of loathsomely excessive consumption, let's all play to our demise, the creation of more consumption to produce fewer illusionary coins, a fitting end for mud monkeys with delusions of grandeur.
