By comparison, Fox News primetime hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham had record weeks for 2019. Carlson averaged 3.5 million viewers and 625,000 in the demo (both record-breaking), while Ingraham got nearly 3 million viewers and the second highest-rated demo for the year (504,000). Sean Hannity had higher ratings than his Fox News colleagues but he did not best previous records for the week.

Zuckd again by Failbook? And the lies by the lying liars march on.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/beyond-sketchy-facebook-demanding-some-new-users-email-passwords

Just two weeks after admitting it stored hundreds of millions of its users’ own passwords insecurely, Facebook is demanding some users fork over the password for their outside email account as the price of admission to the social network.

Facebook users are being interrupted by an interstitial demanding they provide the password for the email account they gave to Facebook when signing up. “To continue using Facebook, you’ll need to confirm your email,” the message demands. “Since you signed up with [email address], you can do that automatically …”

A form below the message asked for the users’ “email password.”

“That’s beyond sketchy,” security consultant Jake Williams told the Daily Beast. “They should not be taking your password or handling your password in the background. If that’s what’s required to sign up with Facebook, you’re better off not being on Facebook.”

In a statement emailed to The Daily Beast after this story published, Facebook reiterated its claim it doesn’t store the email passwords.


I've bolded an example of the sort of assertion made that's not to be believed.

so nazis commies and all extremists should stop fighting so capitalists can install a corrupt capitalist system over their heads and scam as many of them as possible as money earning cattle?

you dont understand why nazis commis and extremists fight in the first place
...because they want nazis cattle, commis cattle, and extremist cattle for the big cattle fight?

Are those 2 situations identical:

A father passes away and his 1M$ house is inheritated by his 3 children

1/ The state comes in and take the house as inheritance is abolished. The children have nothing.

2/ The state says "hey sorry for your loss you can keep the house of course but you owe the state 200k$ as inheritance taxation, you got about a year or 6 months to pay it". The children either pay those 200k$ and keep the house or sell the house and keep the 800k$

Are those 2 situations identical? Yes or no question.

You can add some personnal attacks as you seem to love them. You already said that I was a fat lazy stupid dumb man without any logic or knowledge in laws, economics, psychology or history. Might add that I am ugly too, you haven't said that one yet.

Okay, you are double dog ugly?

Inheritance tax is a pretty bad idea for numerous reasons. From the point of view of the state (your best buddy right?) in the case of a business asset where the family cannot possibly pay the estate tax bill (double taxation) the state loses yearly taxation income from a productive business entity as its operations are thrown into chaos.

So that's stupid.

Unfortunately these automated systems depend a lot on the sensors, and there have been accidents because the sensors have been impaired. The human pilots also get their readings from them, and sometimes acted wrong thinking the sensors were right when visibility was poor (ie. night storm).
....
let this be a warning for those who think automated cars are near...

This situation reminds me of the political truism, "Let no crisis go to waste."

First, there is an issue with an autopilots programming in two third rate airlines, leading to crashes.

Second, the integrity of the 373 Max comes to be questioned.

Now, the question has drifted to question the entire Boeing product line.

Comrades,

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/lenin-evaluates-democratic-candidates-for-2020/

I know what you think I, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, have risen from my mausoleum by Kremlin Wall Red Square as amusement for Day of Fools of April.

Not so! Trust me, bolsheviki, I do not play idle game in honor reactionary bourgeois holiday invented to drug proletariat with bad jokes.

We are at moment history very grave. Mueller Report is disaster and orange-haired robber baron who tweet imperialist lies to working class will once again be president American States.

Our old comrade John Brennan promised this would not happen, swore so, but, alas, tovariches, as I told Zinoviev at Second International, even best friend not to be trusted. The revolutionary checks twice!

So now… “What Is to Be Done” – part two….

We do not want to make mistake of past. We must not overreach. Stalin, Pol Pot, Ho, Maduro, Tom Hayden, Sean Penn, even Mao try to do too much too soon. Everything take time.

That is why necessary examine Democratic candidates carefully. Those with big mouth die quickly. Those with sloppy hands die faster.

But first—important. More Mueller report only make worse, make easier for Trump. Enough of Mueller and FISA. Smart revolutionary shut up about this....

And Mark Zuckerberg's promises are worth something are they?

No.

Security through encryption is mathematical.

It is not based on "promises."

Realistically, security through encryption cannot be something that might change with every update that a FF sends down to a person's device.

security through encryption must be personal.

Then we can take about how an individual might plug into something like FF, through layered anonymizers if he chose. But it is not possible to consider FF providing the encryption.

That's madness.

https://medium.com/elixxir/why-mark-zuckerberg-wants-no-privacy-why-he-wrote-his-letter-and-why-it-wont-help-him-c020e434ce36

According to a recent open letter on privacy, Mark Zuckerberg wants us to believehe can combine WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram platforms with “end-to-end” encryption to create the ultimate privacy-protecting platform.

thoughts? what does this mean for society?

I think it is very risky, but taking into account that it is Mark Zuckerberg it will be very easy for him to do so, he has the best programmers in the world, he has the money to carry it out, I think he can achieve it, in fact, he has always been a pioneer in terms of social networks.

In addition, everything that represents progress in my case I support, because everything must be routed there, in innovation and be more advanced. Besides, as he is, I imagine that he will supervise each code himself.
So then there would be no privacy with his "end-to-end" encryption, for which the promise was privacy.
3395  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why so many people say "Muslims are terrorists" Should we say that? on: March 30, 2019, 11:46:37 PM

Taqiya is far more prevalent than might be imagined, and anyone dealing with Muslims must understand it, or he really can't deal with them.

Muslims have different standards of right and wrong when dealing with those in their own faith vs those who are not. This goes across the board, including business, outright lying such as taqiya, also sexual and romantic behavior.

IMHO it's more important and useful to raise awareness of these things than focus on the straw man argument posed here of "All / Some Muslims are Terrorsts."
3396  Other / Politics & Society / Re: New York State Rockland County Bans Unvaccinted Kids From All Public Places on: March 30, 2019, 11:41:55 PM

Here is what I'm claiming:

1) Lack of vaccinations lead to diseases that otherwise wouldn't exist.

2) Those responsible for infecting others with diseases that otherwise wouldn't exist are solely responsible for the cases that they transmit.

3) In the case that a disease is transmitted, and a non statically insignificant case where permanent damage is done, the one who transmitted it is responsible.

4) The financial and life toll associated with lack of vaccination outweighs your right to infect others.


Here is my conclusion, being told to go away because the rest of the population doesn't want your diseases is not unreasonable. Strapping you into a chair and forcing vaccinations on you is unreasonable. The needs of a society outweigh the rights of an individual, and if you disagree you should not have those rights forcibly stripped from you, but given the option to politely go elsewhere.

If your point is that other unvaccinated individuals are coming in illegally anyway, why does that suddenly invalidate all other concerns? Shouldn't we be just as concerned about them as unvaccinated U.S citizens? ....
Sounds pretty reasonable to me as public policy.

I would mention that the medical issues with unfiltered, unfettered illegal immigrants goes far beyond this. Docs here are having to deal now with vast numbers of tropical diseases they have zero experience with, various types of parasites.

It's also true that we're setting up two parallel systems, one which is lax (and free) for the immigrants and another which is strict (and expensive) for the citizens.

Not as stupid or ignorant as any of thousands of extremist Islamic terrorists shouting Allah Akbar while killing innocent people.

While Islamists have not solved this problem in their community I rather dislike them telling non-Muslims how they should act and what they should say.

You do not understand the ultimate goal of all true Muslims: peace (under a global Caliphate).

Fortunately, a vast majority are not "true Muslims."

You might want to double check on that, because over the past few years I have seen several vulnerabilities come to light which allow the bypassing of local encryption. These vulnerabilities are 100% real, but you enjoy your comfortable lies if you want.

I'm fairly well aware of several, and have suspicions about numerous others.

However, my offer of a reward is firm. For any and all takers.
