  1. Re:limited possibilities on US Internet Company Refused To Participate In NSA Surveillance, Documents Reveal (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A large company with good lawyers who were not interested in the corrupt money and contracts being provided, who knew full well that those utterly bullshit secret laws would fail in the high court no matter how corrupt those judges are because approving those corrupt laws would disrupt the US legal system and would have to be struck down.

    The surveillance had nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with extreme political ideological corruption in the deep state (well all to shallow partnership in crime between corrupt corporations and corrupt elected officials and the corrupt political appointees they corruptly placed into the system). The sole purpose attack and silence political activism and any threat to the extremely profitable corruption, even though that corruption is destroying the US at every level, from overseas relations and trade to infrastructure collapse to collapsing education system to abusive law enforcers and prisons to a for profit military, all preying upon US society to it's ultimate collapse and they do not care as long as they are rich and can evacuate to another country with the money they fraudulently gain.

They intent is not just to steal private data but also ideas, not just individuals but also small and medium business, they are an extremely corrupt company as demonstrated by their perverse desire to invade the privacy of everyone's homes.

    It's not really about repairability, for consumer electronics that doesn't really happen. Apple needs to get back to it's roots for PC, computers as a hobby. Fully customisable PCs with a range of parts to choose from, either sold as kit or built in store to customers specifications. Apple lacks that power user computer, the computer aficionado's range of parts to build from.

    This as a new line separate from the consumer just use it ranges, if it really wants to tackle M$ head on. Start selling power user's control of their PC devices along with selling them privacy. Bold moves need to be made if they want to take down TinyLimp the beast of Redmond (M$ really have lost most of their swagger and the only thing keeping them going is sheer bloody minded arrogance but there is a big price to pay for that arrogance in the long term).

    Hear the rhythm of the beat and you will know there's maths in music. Yep, an entire orchestra can play of a few pages of dead wood. Voila problem solved.

    Do not think so much about compression, think more about robotic simulation and scripts. So create a simulated robotic orchestra and write them a script and the play the audio, visual role. That script is the compressed version of the orchestra's efforts.

    So can you create a computer program that would 'act' out and entire program based upon scripts provided, of course you can, it would take quite a bit of development but once you develop one virtual human robot, you have developed a virtual infinite number of them.

    Unfortunately as a matter of public record, little make believe notes that you write for yourself to be used at a latter date (something lawyers are 100% fully aware of) to be used for a psychopathic little plot latter on, are in reality pretty meaningless. So if comey wrote a post it note that he had meeting with Hitler Stalin and God, does it make it true, especially when they are a trained scheming conniving lawyer.

    Seriously, what the fuck. The arse hole did not plan to take secret notes by accident, it was a part of a plot and scheme a scam by an Uncle Tom Obama plant, so what the fuck difference does it make what the lying arsehole put into those notes. This is no career FBI agent with a history of integrity and honesty and spectacular investigatory and policing history. This is a corporate douche bag lawyer with a history of politically based appointments being fucking sold onto the public by main stream media because he let the Clinton Crime Clan off when they were fully public exposed for the crimes they committed from corrupting the democratic process to running a fake charity selling access to government, to even more deviant lolita express activity.

    Why the fuck would anyone believe anything this arsehole had to say or the wrote the fuck down (little fantasy post it notes), why just why? An establishment goon, through and through. Appointee an FBI agent with a stellar record, maybe, appoint a corporate lawyer with a history of political appointments and it's always going to be lies, plots and schemes to empower the minority at the expense of the majority.

  8. So I guess you are not buying into the whole "you need to become terrorists to defeat terrorists" thing. Especially when the government is not targeting their terrorism at the terrorist but at the terrorists victims. In order to make you safe, we need to terrorise you before the terrorists do, now that is a hard sell. The tories seem to have gone full blown nuts.

  9. Re:Misleading Headlines Again... on It's Been So Windy in Europe That Electricity Prices Have Turned Negative (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It makes much more sense to get people to install batteries on their homes, with their home running of battery and mains and the grid supplier able to balance load by charging or drawing current from those batteries. The system would have to be designed to be able to run the house at normal maximum demand for say twenty four hours and then electrical companies can dump energy into those batteries. Dependent upon whether the consumer buys, leases or rents as part of the energy supply, affects how much they are charged for electricity, now add in solar panels and vertical axis wind turbines (they are much quieter and do not kill birds) and you have the proper mix and backed up by nuclear as the essential service supply (high density residential, commercial and industrial) with no more burning anything.

    So one wonders how much planing is required to go to the discount shop buy a knife and then hire a truck and pick a crowded spot. One assumes it must require a whole organisation, to plan that, discussion going back and forth on what type of knife to buy, where to buy it from, what brand of knife, how long you should own the knife before the attack to prevent being flagged for owning a knife and the truck, where to rent it, what brand of truck, how much fuel to buy and the target location, oh wait, no planning at required, just but burgers waffling on with their religious nut baggery till they finally snap, grab a knife from the kitchen, open the phone book and rent a truck and pick the first major target that pops into their empty heads (keep in mind they managed to miss a country planning to fly planes into buildings and all the planning and support that was required to carry that out, even aligning it with secretive government activities to ensure success and having a film crew on hand to record it and celebrate, in fact the efforts of three countries and they all missed that).

    Reality is, don't want them to do this, do not let them in the country. This kind of attack can quite readily be carried out by tourist terrorists, barely any planning required what so ever. Especially do not let people in from countries that you are attacking or have destroyed, they are very likely to be highly motivated to attack and after suffering that militaristic depredations from your country, they are likely to be some what mentally unstable (plus the lesson that prayer does not do very much good at all, basically your sky person wish machine is broken).

    So it is all about mass internet censorship, attacking and silencing all political activists and targeting real journalists, anything that threatens the utterly corrupt establishment, the psychopathic order disorder (crazed individuals pursuing their own greed and ego at the expense of the entirely of human society).

    M$ knows most consumers dislike them, just buy their gear because of existing lock in and now seeing that it is their only source of customers, they are attempting to force more people into the XBox domain. Seriously gullible idiots, who are paying to hand over control of their computer and their digital life to one corruptly monopolistic corporation, how popular is M$, just look at the lose phone (calling a winphone would be a lie).

    Yet the moronic fuckwits, rather than reforming and trying to become a better supplier and regain popularity, is simply trying to force more lock in, to extort it's customer base, either sign and pay for life or be cut off. It looks like people are preferring to be cut off.

  13. So they claim to have invented a secure wireless computer network system that could never ever be mass hacked, remember, greedy, cheap, lowest tender and hack one, hack them all. So automated planes the perfect false flag system for endless wars, they choose who they get to blame the attack on based on current corporate profit goals ie resources that need stealing, munitions that need expending and replacing, any hint of nationalising of essential services (the perfect corporate blackmail tool).

  14. That is pretty much accurate. US intelligence service over the pst three decades pretty much as evil as it fucking gets, mass murdering sick freaks in love with killing or have you not been paying attention. Pretty much do not give one fuck who they kill or torture and they are the global winners, committing more heinous crimes than the rest of the world combined. Pretty good marketing and PR while it lasted but that time is over. I do not think the English language has sufficient abusive curse words to cover the depraved nature of US corruption agencies, just the sickest organisations on the planet.

  15. A correction, the government is paying farmers to look after land because they are greed driven idiots who happily shit in their own nests.

    Moderate consumption of alchohol should not be based upon cultural norms but on evolutionary ones when you are talking about health. The liver is designed to break down alchohol, genetically speaking, based upon the amount accidentally consumed when eating old fruit, not the amount produced and consumed on purpose as recreational activity and self medication against the angsts of society. So likely consumption beyond the genetic evolutionary norm is quite unhealthy.

  18. The article was, clear, he claimed to have provided a passcode but that passcode did not work, whose fault, the people who held the device broke it trying to hack it, Apple's code failed for some reason, Apples hardware failed for some reason, or he lied, if you can not prove which is true, by law, reasonable doubt exists. Where under law, is a consumer required to warrant the functioning of a device they bought, to the point of criminal prosecution, when the manufacturer does not and writes some of the crappiest warranties legally possible.

    The court is demanding that a consumer warrant a phone with loss of freedom for 180 days if that phone does not work as advertised. Note he has provided the evidence the phone, it is up to others to make use of it, done and finished.

  19. The value of data is an illusion, in reality the uses to which it is currently put will likely become illegal, so zero value, just a cost. So it is with regard to security aspects and where the data is held, who can access it and what they can do with it. Easiest security response crack down on it's collection, only sufficient for taxation purposes and medical purposes. The reality is targeted marketing doesn't generates the profits claimed, else they would be bragging about the numbers, instead they pump the illusion with generalisations and most of the marketing is targeted at the advertisers.

    Likely countries will institute data controls across the board, all locally stored, all locally audited and generating local employment.

  20. Yankee treaties, always one way and are only binding as long as it suits the Yankees, for everyone else, Yankees demand they are bound by Yankee treaties under threat of economic and or military attack, Yankee treaties are law as long as Yankees say they are, they second Yankees say they are not, they are not.

    Paris climate accord, yet another glaring globally public demonstration of exactly who the US government really is, two faced liars, deceivers and exploiters and if ever there was a country everyone wished would be on another world, far, far away in another galaxy, it would be the US, the world would be happier and the US would be happier for a short time, until they turned that entire world into a pile of shite.

  21. Meh, tourists are a pain in the arse, always demand access to the best locations, driving out the locals and seasonal employment never really provides economic stability. Always remember no matter where you go, people there are wanting to leave and visit some place else, you are not special no matter how badgered hotel staff treat you, you can holiday at home for a year for what holidaying overseas costs you in a month, tourism is one of the biggest marketing scams of all.

    Asking for social media information is a really bad idea, it's like asking about hobbies, what the fuck business of the United States government is it, social media is not factual media, it is an illusion people present. How about if you don't play social media, do you become a suspicious person, how about if you get it wrong, various places you signed up to and forgot, do they send you to prison for getting it wrong. How about if they claim you do, when you claim you don't, do they let in country only to lock you up in a for profit prison whilst they sort out the case for years, instead of just giving you the option to leave.

    I understand the US is pretty fucked up when it comes to deportation, needed to lock you up in for profit prisons for some time, rather than just putting you on a plane and sending you back as soon as possible and sending the bill to your countries government.

  22. If incoming missiles are set to detonate up succesfully being targeted than the resulting EMP will still damage the targeted country and likely knock out defence system long enough for following missiles to be effective.

Detonate in space and over the years you rain down radioactive material across the whole planet, https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... You shit stupid fuckers who think you can win nuclear war are morons and should be taken out of all positions of power and influence, locked up in padded cells, a hosed off with ice water hourly too cool you insane fevered brains.

    I do a cross correlation of news sources and routinely and regularly adjust news sources. Some sources are particular unreliable at this time, all US main stream media and all UK main stream media and I generally ignore them.

Comparing those sources, writing style, external sources, links, can generate a general change in news sources, for a time, it is now a constantly shifting thing and relying on a regular news source apart from headlines is pretty much out (more a concise page layout with a good spread of stories and current major stories).

    Generally speaking the independent more specialised news services will give better information more carefully researched with good links and I use those when I dig further into a story beyond the headline and some concise paragraphs. As such the entire internet becomes by my news sources as I shift from source to source to get a better understanding of the story. There is also regional news sites for regional news, with use of English growing across the globe, many news source regions are now accessible.
