No no no this is silly talk. Random groups of people who learned the law off internet websites have discovered that the entire court system is illegal and the government has to pay you money if you fly the gold fringed flag of your family's proper coat of arms on your front lawn. Under international law the US government must respect your house's right to safe passage through it's waters. As the earth is 4/6th water this means that you're above prosecution unless they can trick you into appearing in a) a federal courtroom or 2) flying on an airplane in us airspace where you legally become the property of the FAA and can actually be pressed into slavery!!! This is how the FISA courts support the existence of black sites... the us government flies terrorists over the country, enslaves them, and then sends them to work in overseas prison plantations. Think about the historical implications "BLACK" sites.

Lol look at this fucking law genius. However did you and the whole rest of the internet get the time and motivation read and understood the entire constitution and every single related case and court ruling since?!?! It in it's current state it exists to fuck you and protect those with resources when it's time to fuck you. The constitution and the law in general is as useless and inaccessible to you as Elon Musk's car. I predict in the future those of you who fail to accept your deserved places in life will be used as wet food for celebrity show dogs so the sooner you start thinking of yourself as a slave the greater your chances of survival.

I don't want my kid using drugs but I'd much rather my child not have a public arrest record that keeps them from getting a job. I said arrest. If you are arrested and released with no charges you still get an arrest record and it's just about as difficult to clear as a criminal record. You're unaware of such things because arrest records are private in russia, Boris.

Like I care Vlad. What you going to do about it? Watch out folks! Putin has run out of patience Judo chop incoming! Accusing morons on the internet of being a paid trolls is much more effective dealing with morons and actual paid trolls than the reactions they usually get. Nobody wants to post about reptile Obama and safe spaces and nobody is going to pay anyone to make political shitposts if they know the result will be getting called slavic names and laughed at .......ok Adolf?

Most of the russian trolls sound like that. Besides even if they're just idiots who don't want to believe that the russians have a commercial trolling agency that contracts with the government... it will piss them off. I don't know why anyone would deny it though. Even the USA has been caught engaging in political internet trolling. Internet Research Agency is just the former Russian Business Network with an infusion of talent from 2ch.ru. I personally knew some of these dvachan (2ch.ru) people online for years before it became their job and dealt with the RBN back when storm worm was a thing.

Actually he did have a business. He was a broke freelance graphic designer. Out of desperation he spammed youtube with videos about graphic design and he was good about making related videos with BROAD appeal. example: "How do I design a resume". Why don't you ever do the most cursory research on the people you take business advice from? Eventually like many other youtube stars he found that it was easiest to just make videos about making videos and chumps like you gobble them up. "The payoff comes later" and "slow is better" are great lines to feed suckers, be it fake business advice or psychic training programs. "Nothing comes without hard work!", It's not exactly untrue, but when it's true nobody needs to remind you.

Submission + - Inside Oracle's cloak-and-dagger political war with Google (recode.net)

schwit1 writes: The story that appeared in Quartz this November seemed shocking enough on its own: Google had quietly tracked the location of its Android users, even those who had turned off such monitoring on their smartphones.

But missing from the news site’s report was another eyebrow-raising detail: Some of its evidence, while accurate, appears to have been furnished by one of Google’s fiercest foes: Oracle.

For the past year, the software and cloud computing giant has mounted a cloak-and-dagger, take-no-prisoners lobbying campaign against Google, perhaps hoping to cause the company intense political and financial pain at a time when the two tech giants are also warring in federal court over allegations of stolen computer code.

Since 2010, Oracle has accused Google of copying Java and using key portions of it in the making of Android. Google, for its part, has fought those claims vigorously. More recently, though, their standoff has intensified. And as a sign of the worsening rift between them, this summer Oracle tried to sell reporters on a story about the privacy pitfalls of Android, two sources confirmed to Recode.

To be sure, the substance of Quartz’s story — Google’s errant location tracking — checks out. Google itself acknowledged the mishap and said it ceased the practice. Nor does Oracle stand alone in raising red flags about Google at a time when many in the nation’s capital are questioning the power and reach of large web platforms.

Still, Oracle’s campaign is undeniable.

Submission + - Commercial Spyware is out of Control (wired.com)

mspohr writes: Investigation of an Ethiopian spyware ring exposed widespread abuse of commercial spyware. https://citizenlab.ca/2017/12/...
"This report describes a campaign of targeted malware attacks apparently carried out by Ethiopia from 2016 until the present. In the attacks we document, targets receive via email a link to a malicious website impersonating an online video portal. When a target clicks on the link, they are invited to download and install an Adobe Flash update (containing spyware) before viewing the video. In some cases, targets are instead prompted to install a fictitious app called “Adobe PdfWriter” in order to view a PDF file. Our analysis traces the spyware to a heretofore unobserved player in the commercial spyware space: Israel’s Cyberbit, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems. The spyware appears to be a product called PC Surveillance System (PSS), recently renamed PC 360."
The authors recommend measures to help control this problem:

Submission + - Bank of America Wins Patent for Crypto Exchange System (coindesk.com)

psnyder writes:

[The patent] outlined a potential cryptocurrency exchange system that would convert one digital currency into another. Further, this system would be automated, establishing the exchange rate between the two currencies based on external data feeds.

The patent describes a potential three-part system, where the first part would be a customer’s account and the other two would be accounts owned by the business running the system. The user would store their chosen cryptocurrency through the customer account.

The second account, referred to as a "float account," would act as a holding area for the cryptocurrency the customer is selling, while the third account, also a float account, would contain the equivalent amount of the cryptocurrency the customer is converting their funds to.

That third account would then deposit the converted funds back into the original customer account for withdrawal.
