whole idea that every passenger can be checked enough to detect any item that can be used in terrorist attack is stupid, impracticable, and as this story shows unmanageable.
if the aim is to deter terrorists from going through a check point, best solution is to subject random passengers ( and this has to be completely random, with all passengers having equal chance of being checked, with no possibility of knowing who will be checked) to fullest possible checks available. that way checks can be reduced in number to be manageable, checkers will be alert and multiple, and all the while there would continue to be doubt in terrorist's mind about his chances of passing through.
your sour grapes sarcastic comments indicate you are irrational, bitter, impotent, frustrated. probably due to a life long habit of losing at everything. if my comments indicate i am an idiot. so be it.
thanks for proving my point by once again, by displaying your high level of impotent frustration through absurdly bitter sarcasm. your sour grape comments are symptomatic of people who lose at everything. you probably can't help it, you are born to lose.
skeptics of AGW should be happy seeing bitter impotent sarcastic comments like that.
cruse missiles aimed at who? or are you advocating yet another shoot first ask questions later strategy. as in many usa foreign policy disasters and defeats.
if chinese do this, they will do it knowing that whatever and whoever has anything of value in internet of use to china, that does not threaten them, will eagerly start registering themselves within in china, obediently complying with rules chinese have laid down. all of the western corps who want to survive and make money will do that that is power.
you "think" any fanatsay, but we read what jared cohen actually wrote in his email about "in encouraging more to defect and giving confidence to the opposition".
the opposition then and now mainly consisted in islamic state and al nusra front. how do you "think" them out of the opposition?
since you work at google, where is the google/jared cohen app supporting opponents of saudi arabia/isreal/turkey etc? what about opponents of qatar that owns al-jazeera used to cover google's involvement ? after all they are oppressive regimes too? or do you "think" they aren't?
and what do you "think" make people "freak out" when they get to know that google, (with likes of jared cohen basically working in both state department and google,) was eager to please state department to achieve its illegal regime change goals in syria by "helping and encouraging an opposition" that consisted of people who go around cutting people head off ( or crucifying them hear the news today ?)and suicide bombs?
if google want make people trust it, and start proving it is not just another arm of usa state department, pubic separation from likes of jared cohan (and his defenders) would be a start .
"That project just collected and mapped publicly-available information" everything above board and clean huh? that is why "keep this very close hold ", and let dictatorial but western client qatar royals owned " Al-Jazeera... will take primary ownership"(al-jazeera that is famous for its pro sunni islamist militant coverage of news). huh?
and why did google, "believed" "in encouraging more to defect and giving confidence to the opposition"? against a legitimate government under international law, and for an opposition that turned out to consist, in terms of actual substance, in mainly of islamic state and al nusra front (al-qaeda 's syrian arm)? well usa gov(state department and intelligence agencies that come with it ) believed the same goals.
how many other similar interests and goals and people(like jared cohen) does google and usa government share ? and how far will they go conceal the illegality and guilty blood ?
maybe i should have said "eagerly handed over" given state department tool's at google,(ie current jared cohens ) desire to please usa gov even before asked.

Deputy Secretary Burns, Jake, Alec,
Please keep close hold, but my team is planning to launch a tool on Sunday that will publicly track and map the defections in Syria and which parts of the government they are coming from. Our logic behind this is that while many people are tracking the atrocities, nobody is visually representing and mapping the defections, which we believe are important in encouraging more to defect and giving confidence to the opposition. Given how hard it is to get information into Syria right now, we are partnering with Al-Jazeera who will take primary ownership over the tool we have built, track the data, verify it, and broadcast it back into Syria.
I've attached a few visuals that show what the tool will look like. Please keep this very close hold and let me know if there is anything eke you think we need to account for or think about before we launch. We believe this can have an important
basically on one side we have, limited content, mostly preselected by others, offered at zero cost. on other side, unlimited content, which must be selected by consumer expending time and effort(esp brain), offered at a price.
economics of mass acceptance of 1st could eventually lead to limitation of all content even for those making 2nd choice, or at least ever higher prices in 2nd choice
but should government(fcc) decide to ban the 1st prevent that? or let the consumer decide (even if most will choose them 1st)? that is the question. harder to answer than it appears.
in theory "with a 0% requirement a bank can create any amount of money", but since quite apart from salutatory requirements, a banks has to hold on to some of the deposits to cover daily withdrawals of deposits (usually less than 5% of total ) bank can never loan the full amount of deposits, people, and i here, use salutatory requirement percentage in explaining this process because it is usually the bigger.
i grant that statutory requirements has ceased to matter in some countries. however money creation is still the same process; with a 0% requirement $100 would create $900 by banking system, instead of $800 with 10%. throughout money creation by banking system as a whole, each individual bank would have loans equaling deposits. all one has to do is examine balance sheets of commercial banks, there deposits+loans from central bank and other banks+capital = loans+statutory requirements + other assets( buildings etc) and two biggest items would be deposits and loans, which would be roughly equal.
no banks do lend the money they get from deposits. creation of money happens when this process continues- X deposits $100. bank after keeping (say) $10 due to statutory requirements, lend $90 of that. Y who got it(either from bank or after transactions from persons who got it from bank) then deposits $90 in another bank. that bank keeping $9 for statutory requirements lend $81. and this goes on. so from that $100 banking system create another $800(if statutory requirement is 10%). that is what is meant by creating money by banks.
unlike what is implied here, main business of banks is extending credit (iow loaning money)at interest. money obtained through variety of means, mainly deposits. and loaning money can be only partially subjected to automation, and usually require lot of human interactions and long term relationships, and lots of specific customization. that is why small banks and banks branches still continue to exist .
that is also why technology wont make banks obsolete anytime soon. if bank lose deposit taking due to technology ( a very huge if), they will get the money for loans from those who replaced they in that business.
emoji - another sign of unreal stunted western throwaway culture of death. no real emotion expressed naturally in vigorous language by individuals(when done well that amounts to art) - that wouldn't be politically correct. no we must now all express ourselves in narrow cookie cutters of approved politically correct emotions thought up by others. i suppose we should be glad that we can use combinations of those narrow cookie cutters (that is what customization of emoji parts amount to )
what next? using wikipedia to learn about economic and military condition of a country and its historical and cultural background, before invading? or to write academic papers that goes in to those decisions by people who used wikipedia to pass examinations? using twitter to allocate and channel emergency resources during emergency? etc etc
would be funny if these things are not already happening.
using a restricted (formal, as in twitter with its "trust & safety council" censorship, or informal as in language cultural, and Internet penetration, barriers in wikipedia and twitter ) sources to make decisions will always end badly.
apple (and all non generic hardware pushers) needs consumers to continuously discard their old and buy its newest overpriced products with their much hyped latest features ( however unsubstantial ) in order to make profit. this can only be achieved by social conditioning. a herd mentality is created where members of the herd feel fulfilled and happy, and be in a satisfactory social status, only when they have the latest. so of course, they must laugh and mock at those outside the herd, make members of the herd join in laughing and mocking, more publicly the better.
crucial words "about to be..." ! would have been much better if they were "already..." instead.
btw whatever your private web blog link says, there was less "explosions" and failures, in russian program recently than in those of private companies . and this in spite of doing much more, and with lot more launches and tests.
- in any case there was no factual answer to my question "how long and how much will it take russians?" saying it would be same as " NASA, ESA, or JAXA" wont be right, since they, unlike russians, no longer offer of regular flights to iss and are incapable of transporting humans, as i said before . and comparison with russians is the one that counts. after all if these 'private' companies really start offering space transport and infrastructure services on commercial basis, and unless russians get banned for non commercial reasons, they would be the main competition.
"... built for only $17 million in less than two years. NASA, ESA, or JAXA would have required at least half a billion and several years..." how long and how much will it take russians? after all they are ones who still have regular flights to iss on which this would be 'tested', and only ones still capable of transporting humans to space to test it.
"Apple makes money on hardware and not on the sale of customer data." actually apple makes money on its much hyped brand, using it to sell overpriced (and usually copyrighted and patent protected) hardware, software and content.
pseudo news ads like this, and whole encryption saga, are all part of brand protection and enhancement. (which they apple is perfectly free to do btw).
-- also logically speaking, however it makes money does not necessarily limit its options with regard to user data.
