Good morning Bitcoinland. Missed yesterday due to being crazy busy but I see we've recovered somewhat after the dip following the zany little bart a couple of days ago... currently $5099USD/$6795CAD (Bitcoinaverage). The battle for $5k rages on. Go Bitcoin go. i will never own an alexa/google/amazon voice activated device, unless there is an actual physical switch to cut the mics out of circuit.
i didnt really understand fully the ramification till the other day when i was going over with my wife how to recover my btc stack in case of my death. i was going to tell her the passphrase to my trezor (it would be written down also, this was just for discussion). but when i was going to tell the the passphrase i stopped. because while i dont own an alexa/google/amazon device, i do have a smartphone and smart watch, which have mics of course.
so here i am in my own house, wondering if anything i say might go out to servers that humans can access (humans review random snips of voice data).
wtf, my own home, which i have spent considerable time and money hardening both physical and electronic networks, is useless if the closed source algo that trigger sending data for no fully understood by the end user.
btw many modern tvs have mics and web cams built in now. and IoT stuff like security cameras, some of which have mics so you can use then for intercoms, are notoriously bad at security and most will never get updates.
so much the attach surfaces are pretty big.
now i dont assume my phone and watch and compromised, but with the amount of money i have in btc it would be foolish to at least consider these scenarios,
like any smartphone or laptop with a built in mic is powered off and put in another room when setting up wallet seed words. paranoia? sure but it is based on failings of the current tech used.
The only sure way is to unplug everything and remove the batteries.

Sad but true So many people are targeting Julian and calling him a Russian puppet. It's fucking pathetic how easily the media can turn views. I am not that much into all this, but did not Wikileaks showed on Russian influence on American elections? So why would Russian government puppet reveal that Russian government influenced and decided USA elections? Makes no sense to me. Point is if you fight for justice you are fighting everyone. So everyone is your enemy. Media is in most capitalistic countries controlled by capital that install governments. So of course all media is against Wikileaks.

I am not supporting illegal migration. I am simply stating that much of the US economy runs on illegal migrant labor. This is a fact. If you suddenly stop migrant labor and remove all the migrants, you are going to fuck up your economy while you restructure to higher wages due to decreased labor supply. It’s Economics 101.
And no, American teenagers do not want to pick bell peppers out of the dirt in the blazing sun for $2 per hour. Edit: I don’t want to do it either.
People who stop using heroin go through terrible life shattering withdrawals. That is not a good enough reason to keep using heroin. The real damage is not done to our economy by stopping the illegal activities. The real damage has been done by allowing them in the first place.

Assange released is just the tip of the iceberg, more nasty situations happend without our knowledge. All that unnecessary killing makes the normal people in the Middle-East pissed on the West with retaliation on their mind and the media marks them as terrorists. The U.S military works for Wallstreet not for bringing back democracy. The only thing i believe from the media is the sport section atleast they can't manipulate the sport results.

Kill them all and let God sort them out. @Mic, thanks for the indepth explanation on the scoring system. I gotta say its pretty complicated and definitely adds another dimension that I was not seeing at the time.

Welcome to the world political activists have been living in since the advent of cellular telephony.

The only sure way is to unplug everything and remove the batteries. some devices dont have removable batteries anymore (think latest gen smartphones) and they may have super capacitor backup.. again, not removable. and most all devices nowadays are still minimally "on" even when theyre "off" via the power button. something is always running, if only to monitor the power button status. and if it can do that when "off" it can do most anything else when programmed right. camera, mics, access files ect. therefor they can be compromised even when off. they have to be far enough away that they simply cant spy on you.
