    >If you see someone falling into mental illness, do you treat them early or do you wait until the illness has gripped them and who knows what happens?

    I remind you, aspirations for freedom and capitalism were a mental disease as per Soviet phychiatrists.

  3. France, the UK, Germany, the USA are now so invested in the NSA, GCHQ methods and national signals intelligence contractors that they cant do anything else.

    Monitoring would need a 9 person team in shifts per interesting person, all that funding is now lost to signals intelligence contractors.

    With millions of very interesting people now wondering around thats a lot of vetted police teams staff to work shifts.

    Most of the EU does not have overtime for that or totally lacks the needed undercover skill sets. Traditional criminal informants just sell/offer stories or do not have needed community access.

    The police teams would have to blend in and have a reason to be in some very inward looking communities that track, question and confront every person who does not belong to their faith area.

    The other option is to enter a home and try and add a secure sound and video network. Having 1, 2 or 3 strangers enter a home for any reason will get noticed by neighbours and mentioned in many communities if the person is away.

    Some political leaders think that if they culturally enrich the security services enough that undercover work would be more successful.

    All that happens is the security services get penetrated and all their years of tracking gets reported back by double agents thanks to wide open employment programs double agents into the once secure security services.

    Most nations monitoring did not work as their staff get noticed just by driving into no go areas, a lack all skills thanks to undercover budgets going to select contractors or are working with/under double agents who got invited deep into the security services.

    The role of a 5th column, the classic Quisling issue is a huge risk given political interference in the vetting of the EU security services.

    I say that the selection process itself favours insecure people who are ready to agree for a low pay paper scrapper job, just to be pat on the head for servitude and sense of self-importance.

    And few others who aren't are plainly always are patent double agent material: W. A. Harriman - a former NYC governor, a CIA meddler, a British nobleman, and a Soviet spy. He was independently named a spy by two Soviet defectors, but he went forward with a bullshit defence "the Soviets planted disinformation against me," and won. The CIA simply let him go with full knowledge of whom he was simply because he was too "high-flying," and admitting that a Soviet spy was a former member of a presidential administration would be an admission that they are a bunch useless fools.

    I have strong believe that Harriman was the person who forwarded a word-for-word copies of stenography of the Atlantic charter negotiations and draft agreements to KGB as nobody else so high up had access to them besides vetted beyond any doubt scribes, and secretaries.

    >But some experts have cast doubt as to whether it signifies that the country is truly more inventive than others, since most of China's filings were done locally.

    Why would they need to? All the shit US is buying is made in China. And they don't even need to bother with underhanded tricks like software patents as Chinese courts simply don't recognize foreign patents except for Russian, Cuban, North Korean, and from *stans since they shared patent system back in commie times. Chinese company has to simply claim the invention first domestically for them to be enforceable.

    Look, Apple was already made to pay 3 or 4 times to Chinese patent holders. One of the claimants who won retributions against them was 60+ granny with no lawyer who basically claimed a patent on a generic dipole antenna tuner. Another, a generic claim on crypto handshake. In both cases, Apple was defending with "this software is not made in China, and we don't manufacture our phones ourselves", and in both cases they were made to pay under a threat of injunction and seizure of iphones right off Foxconn's assembly lines.

    Now analyze that. Americans invented that WIPO shit to fuck everybody, but now are getting fcuked themselves. Microsoft pays few bucks per Windooze install to Huawei since they patented the "wireless icon" and there would be no shit chance that Huawei would have allowed Windooze to be installed on any hardware manufactured by Chinese OEMs

  10. Another known trick on ATM Hacks in 'More Than a Dozen' European Countries in 2016 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The other known "trick" is to make the ATM hardware to mess up it's cash cassette setup, to make it think than all cassettes have $5 buck notes instead of 100. This requires service password, but no physical access. It is impossible for the serviceman with this password to simply order the ATM to open its protected compartment or spew cash, but things like turning off its internet connection, see its VPN settings, launch internet explorer to a site with exploit (most ATMs are windows XP machines) and etc.

    Banks to have good checks on their tech staff, but this prevents nothing if a serviceman simply sell his password to a 3rd party.

    The only bank with branches in aforesaid countries, with exception of Spain (they run a re-branded outlet after Spain busted Russian mafia there,) is Russian Sberbank; and yes, they had master password leakages many times before.

    And I believe that guys who were PWNing them were their own, as nobody except for Russians have mule networks with such size and reach.

    Chinese biggest problem is that USA are world's biggest buyers of consumer goods (more that the rest of OECD combined) and that USA is about to go down.

    Even if the already gigantic consumption levels in Chinese domestic market will double, it will not compensate for downshifting in US. Yes, US economy is in recovery, but consumption patterns have been altered irreversibly. This way, China has not only to prop up the consumer culture at home, but half of the remaining world to keep it's production economy alive.

  17. Well, I don't trust much IHS people. 5 years ago, they were claiming that iphone's battery costs 12 bucks, which is nonsense. I can get a better one for 90 cents retail in a mall downstairs.

    Wholesale price from a fab for 20k plus waffers should be $12-13 per die for the latest process A10 sized chip. Remember, A10's die is smaller than its front-end (they use InFO). TSMC is milking Apple laowais haard

  18. IHS also claims SoC cost of $26 which is BS, can't cost more than $12 at 460 DPW and 14nm process. FABs are ready to lick feets of apple managers to get them as client. So assume 20% profit margin for the FAB + packager.

  19. >The component cost for an iPhone 7 is estimated to be about $250

    NOWAI! Iphone 3 did cost around USD $30 in materials. Four, possibly around $45 for materials + fabrication costs due to more custom parts/manufacturing processes and genuinely better component selection. FYI, Samsung posted material + fabrication cost of 76k KRW for Galaxy S7 in their earning call.

    IHS idiots calculate the BOM cost using retail component prices. Five years ago they were saying that the microscopic battery of the third iphone did cost 11 buck. Back then, I could've easily found better prices retail in Chinese malls, like for 70-90 cents.
