  1. Re:Sounds like a perfect way to crash the economy on Twitter Stock Jumps Nearly 8 Percent After Fake Report · · Score: 1

    I guess you haven't been paying attention to China and its most recent bubble break which nailed their ass for a 6 TRILLION DOLLAR market correction.

    We could make much worse happen here in the USA thanks to the even heavier reliance upon automated transaction bots that watch things like Twitter and make trades based upon various algorithms based on language used.

    Traders might make a commission but that's not going to do them shit when the value of the dollar goes out completely.

    The losing investors will lose even harder.

    The winning investors might as well have not won at all.

    This is not difficult logic.

    The hard hitting questions? The ones we keep asking - Why did you threaten yourself on steam using your own developer account like a moron (everyone and their mother saw that one. If you didn't get your ass out from under your rock.)

    Why do you claim only the privilege that suits you when the real privilege responsible for your supposed anguish is neatly and tidily left alone (class privilege.)

    What gives you the right to speak about women in tech when you are not a woman? (Same as the stupid NAACP chapter president white girl who claimed to be black all this time.)

    You have apparently been here longer than myself, and yet you can't even see the fucking pattern (let alone the blatant advertising that should've been a dead giveaway that this was going to be a controlled echo chamber discussion in the follow-up story.)

    Goddamned shame.

    "The organizers can set whatever rules they like within their private conference hall"

    The FCC said fuck no to that as well. See the wifi jamming lawsuit against both public and private establishments.

    FCC/government regulations take precedence. This is basic fucking contract law. What is in that contract may not supercede any regulation or law in place.

    Rules can't supercede regulative authority.

    The convention is public. The FCC has already made multiple rulings that whatever can enter your camera (since your eye is one) is permissible to be recorded. Your cover for Brianna makes zero sense in the face of regulative authority. It doesn't matter if he broke the rules, because the rule violates government regulations and is therefore unenforcable.

    Same way you can decrypt police transmissions in your own home, front yard, or back yard. Same way you could re-transmit them in the clear on another channel (as long as you don't violate transmission power/channel regulation.)

    If it enters your property, you are free to do with those photons or radio waves as you damn well please. No pictures means no video, either, since a video is multiple pictures strung together, but I saw plenty of fucking video cameras there.

    You have zero standing, here.

    Take advantage of those automated stock algorithms, use Twitter to falsely boost stock prices into an unsustainable bubble, watch as all the human elements do the wrong thing, and let it explode right in their faces.
