What was once OAKSTAR of the NSA can now be done at the state level:)
"The NSA Worked To “track Down” Bitcoin Users, Snowden Documents Reveal" https://theintercept.com/2018/... (March 21 "2018)
Re "next approach". They keep the powerful tools off the net as much as possible.
Cant have consumer AV discovering and reporting back on gov pushed software in the wild.
The problem with German is the police powers that come with investigation publications and politics.
Thats different to nations with freedom of speech. The concept of the user having freedom after speech and the "internet".
It's compact. Low cost compared to other sports and hobbies.
It has set rules that a smart person can understand. That a really, really smart person can study and master.
Books exist on the topic. Web sites exist on the topic. The skill set is not kept hidden.
The ability to win at a city, state and national level with something fun thats almost free.
Winning is clear and not based on the artistic feeling of a set of judges.
Its not weather and climate related like some sports.
For nations that still study math its an easy tool to offer.
What could also be a pirate site?
Germany to remove all talk of German history?
Spain? All that independence and Catalonia content?
France? No more funny art about funny French politicians.
A cult? Don't share copyright content related to their faith.
A faith? No blasphemy and quoting out of context.
A big US company that designs computer parts? No more importing counterfeit spare "parts" online.
A wealthy person who appeared in a newspaper a decade ago. No more investigative journalism to be hosted.
A movie studio that wants the bad reviews of its failed political script to not be found.
Anything that breaks DRM. A failed OS patch. A lock company and its new product.
Once hosting providers have to remove content for one special group, everyone will have a legal reason to remove more content.
Games and software as always connected online services. Rented per year.
A legal block of repair products/parts and services as counterfeiting.
Military expecting the easy joy of using more drones until they can't control their own secure networks.
More online nation state propaganda. More calls to ban user created cartoons, political jokes and bad movie reviews.
A low quality of computer code as more below average and mediocre "educated" people get to be trusted to do advanced "computer" work.
More and more random governments given the keys to all social media and OS crypto.
A lot more intrusive ads, cameras and microphones selling users interaction with the OS, content.
Does your nation have a functioning education, legal and police system? Yes.
Can the person speak and write some English? Yes.
Was the person wanting to move to the USA able to pass some educational exams in their own nation? Yes.
Any police record in their own nation? Any police record in another nation?
Did they pay tax in their own nation?
Have they been to the USA in the past? Any problems when they stayed in the USA in the past?
Do they have a bank account to pay their way to the USA and then have enough money until they find work in the USA?
Have they been supporting banned groups in person in meetings? Joined political groups? Funded banned groups?
Been on social media a lot supporting banned groups for years?
Medical problems that US tax payers will have to consider? Infectious diseases? What is needed to support their long term medical care for decades?
How are other people from that nation doing in the USA as a community?
Would they later petition to bring a lot of extended family members into the USA? What are the later medical costs?
Have long term views that are totally incompatible with any type of democracy?
Work that out and select from the best people globally who will add real value to the USA.
Stop letting large numbers of random people in from totally failed nations and start selecting from the very best people globally.
A diversity of people who made and kept their wealth. Who are in good health. Who are educated. Who are not in banned groups and who are not criminals.
Need any other kind of workers? Use a short term guest worker system that has no link to later immigration.
No power cost, no cooling costs.
Everything is done for free on another CPU using a free OS.
The results are networked back for free.
Would Linux users wonder why their CPU is in use more often?
Need software to be an application?
Have the user download the app and let that application have a "browser" GUI.
How deep should any random encrypted web site gat access deep into a user OS? Past ad blocking, past AV software? To move files around? To upload files found? To copy out file names?
Its a long upgrade path. To get beyond just supporting 4K at 30 and 60 fps. Then to get the best quality at 4K with the high refresh rates.
The display can support that. The GPU will need work. Thats another "desktop" part to buy.
More Ram, more CPU. Then the software needs new hardware to look its best.
Know who is looking and why.
Got skilled scientists and lots of new patents? Winning international contracts with real innovation and actual skill? Can your company win a bid on price and quality?
Got smart staff who can out think the global competition as they got promoted on merit?
Selling dual use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... products globally?
Understand what the NSA, GCHQ, Chain, EU wants from deep in your electronic networks.
Have nothing of future interest on your internet facing networks other than existing business products and services, support.
Have your vital meetings away from all consumer electronic devices with secret long term meeting records kept on paper.
When its on a network it can't just be copied out.
When different nations security services can not get your company plans electronically they will try in person.
Place a camera near some secure paper "files" and see who shows an interest on getting access at different times.
Secure your offices from walk in spying attempts like in person penetration testing.
Look into the political backgrounds of all staff to see who would talk to another nations spy agencies due to faith, cult, citizenship, friendship, politics, debt, lifestyle.
Don't buy products/services and from brands known to have backdoors. If one nations security services have the network keys so do other nations and business competitors.
Dont let strange NGO workers, charity workers, new best friends wonder around your secure buildings.
Banning words, taxing links and removing news. Demanding control over news and user linked content.
Now EU nations want to control computer game content.
Why do EU government and bureaucrats want so much control over what people read and do using networked computers?
Not many can change their face for CCTV when they want to move from city to city.
Cash needs "work". China can stop the ability to get work.
Without cash "livable" in any city becomes difficult everyday.
Anyone who gathers together to protest will be arrested in real time.
People near any illegal gathering will be watched.
Any news published about such events will be removed. The publisher will face travel bans and work bans.
Like the West having social media shadow banning content and accounts.
AC the displays exist for the 4K support. The GPU need more work, so thats a next gen upgrade to max out 4K quality.
Need a new CPU.
Software should be 4K ready.

How Communism works is well understood.
The US freedom of speech, freedom after speech, to peaceably assemble and the right to petition is looking great.
