    Mr. Robot’s first season was a compelling descent into madness

    :) :) Came back to relook at this, as you had noted privately there were significant edits. I would have to say, that looks like Mr Robot's analysis, heh. (Albeit I do see "Mr Robot" as a deeper and more complex character, as I am sure you are, but speaking of the finale speech). I don't have...

    Coffee shop owners face backlash after “pick-up artist” podcast exposed

    General, as polite as possible notes, on these subjects: My experience set is unusual, and have done a lot of unusual gender studies. There are different ways to define "masculine" and "feminine". There are social definitions, there are personal definitions, there are scientific level...

    Unabomber’s anti-technology manifesto published 20 years ago

    As far as I heard, but have not looked at the issue recently, they were born in the US. One brother went to the Russian training facility. The Russian secret police, FSB, alerted the US FBI, their counterpart. The FBI actually did not follow up properly on the lead. Point being: that was a good...

    Coffee shop owners face backlash after “pick-up artist” podcast exposed

    *shrug*, I was trying to be polite, but had a difficult time stifling my giggles at the absurdity and paradox of the "movement". I had more biting things to say afterwards, after stifling my attempt at politeness... but decided to delete everything, as it is best to just say nothing.

    Unabomber’s anti-technology manifesto published 20 years ago

    The Boston Bombers didn't get put into the MK Ultra program, is a thing. They were their own mess. There was influence on them, and that was from overseas, strong Islamists advocating terrorism. I would point out the main failure there was: the main kid went to a known terrorist recruiting and...

    Unabomber’s anti-technology manifesto published 20 years ago

    If they are not insane, they are responsible, and therefore the "police" (CIA in this case), would not be responsible. If they were driven insane, then the CIA would be responsible. Only, statute of limitations for anything remote to this probably has well run out. A journalist could make this...

    Unabomber’s anti-technology manifesto published 20 years ago

    :) :) 1. That paragraph you quoted has the semblance of reasoning, but it still is indicative of extraordinary grandiose delusions, and so is insane. It is not entirely disorganized insanity, but insanity typically is not entirely disorganzed. There are several points in that single paragraph...

    Unabomber’s anti-technology manifesto published 20 years ago

    I think the bomber was definitely, severely insane. Definition of it. He could not make it in the ordinary world. That is a level of insane way beyond your narcissist or bipolar or depressive that can make it somewhat in the world. I read, recently, bombers, of all the serial killers actually...

    Unabomber’s anti-technology manifesto published 20 years ago

    A lot of hunter/gatherer tribes actually work far less then modern folks. I think the number is like twelve to twenty hours. Depends on your ecosystem. Some modern people work twelve to twenty hours, definitely something I believe someone should strive for in their career. Doesn't matter if you...

    Sheriff: We’ll get judicial approval—not a warrant—when using stingray

    The law against surveillance without a warrant is clear to everyone. They are breaking that law and so the message they are sending is loud and clear to everyone: the law is meaningless, it should be ignored. Wrong message for a government to be sending, especially through their justice system...

    Security company sues to bar disclosure related to its own flaws

    I think this right here is a main point. There are cases where arbitrary laws have been created by people who poorly understand how to exercise power. North Korea has a lot of arbitrary laws created by some idiot who did not even bother to think through the ramifications. It happens in the more...

    FBI, Intel chiefs decry “deep cynicism” over cyber spying programs

    The constitution is just a collection of laws, when you get down to it, people breaking laws does not mean the laws should not exist and be enforced. In this case, the laws, really, have been dishonestly enforced, which encourages criminality. Has nothing to do with the validity of the law...

    Security company sues to bar disclosure related to its own flaws

    I said that twice, yes, obscurity is an element of security. In context, the slogan means you don't *just* rely on obscurity. It is a layer. "Full disclosure" as defined by what we call "responsible disclsoure" is the right way to do things. "Responsible disclosure" mean you report to vendor...

    Security company sues to bar disclosure related to its own flaws

    *shrug*. I don't buy it. Well, I am sure any other poster here would be able to do the math here, and come to the correct conclusion. Either you are very biased to believe this foolishness, or you are trying to push me for more details about my specific career. Anyway, believe what you want...

    Security company sues to bar disclosure related to its own flaws

    I am a "security researcher". I would be more cautious with your sourcing. Real world? You do not get money for publishing vulnerabilities before vendors fix them. Unless you are talking about a black market (government or criminal). They are clearly not doing so. What happens is you piss off...

    The Red Web: In Putin’s Russia, Internet watches you

    Those are largely what I recommended, actually. The Mitrokihn archives were stolen from the official KGB archives by an upset, demoted KGB officer. Of course, one must be careful with any such presentation coming from an intelligence agency. But, it revealed many active agents and previously...

    China tells US tech companies to sign PRISM-like cyber-loyalty pact

    Oh yeah. "No more secrets" motto (Sneakers). 'The [world] is a changing'. 'Shouted from the rooftops'. It is an interesting struggle, even if it is not a coin toss. Well, it is a rigged coin toss. Both sides are heads.
