When Mark Zuckerberg infamously said "privacy is dead" he was being prophetic. Not that people would choose to give up their privacy or over-share, but that hackers would routinely break into corporate systems and take the very same personal data companies like Facebook collect about each and every one of us, and make it their own. side from the sheer breadth of the Exactis leak, it may be even more remarkable for its depth: Each record contains entries that go far beyond contact information and public records to include more than 400 variables on a vast range of specific characteristics: whether the person smokes, their religion, whether they have dogs or cats, and interests as varied as scuba diving and plus-size apparel. WIRED independently analyzed a sample of the data Troia shared and confirmed its authenticity, though in some cases the information is outdated or inaccurate. Was Facebook's founder correct? Is privacy dead? Probably. Especially after Facebook came und

There is a post here on Google+ where someone posted an image that was obviously not theirs with nothing but a "photographer unknown" in the box that is usually reserved for content creation (hint: it's the same box you're reading this in).

Well, every day we communicate with each other anyway. That's why we have words and why those words have meaning. So that we can "literally" know what the other person is trying to communicate.

You want to read this. The abyss we found ourselves falling into is only getting deeper and darker. #TrumpNation were the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave are lost. Originally shared by Sarah Rios Seth Abramson on Twitter 06/26/18 (linked): Today a leading GOP Congressman said we're headed for a Second Civil War and then retweeted a Nazi sympathizer and said he wasn't sorry for doing it. Let me repeat: a leading GOP Congressman. Time was when the media would already be hounding the president to denounce Steve King. 2/ And why isn't U.S. media making a stink about this? Because they and most of America already accept that the President of the United States not only won't denounce Nazi sympathizers or implicit threats of future violence but actually warmly embraces both of these. God help us. 3/ I've now said it many times: everything short of occupying Washington lawfully and peacefully until new elections untouched by Russian interference—and repeated atte

A Mobius movie?

Is our current #SCOTUS applying a religious double standard? Some say yes, other say it's a bit more complicated than that. _"In the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, the court actually went out of its way to rest its decision on the anti-religious comments of a local official, when that issue wasn't even presented before the judges at the briefing," said Farhana Khera, executive director of Muslim Advocates. "Here, in contrast, the court went out of its way to ignore the copious amounts of anti-Muslim bigotry from the President as he was developing and then enacting the policy. It's a total double standard," Khera added._ https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/26/politics/does-the-supreme-court-have-a-double-standard-on-religion/index.html

Cries of liberal bias by right-wingers too often causes mainstream media outlets to overcompensate and provide disproportionate coverage to conservative viewpoints.

This is extremely troubling and can serve only one purpose: to separate detainees from the media. Military bases are closed affairs. Sure, some people can come and go, but the media does not have that freedom. Neither do other investigators such as NGOs, international aid groups or UN inspectors. And yes, the base commander has the final say on what happens on his or her base, but who does the base commander report to? Ultimately, it's the commander-in-chief, and as the article quotes, there's little to no push back expected from flag officers.

#AStarWarsStory is over. Disney/Lucasfilm is abandoning their anthology slate over the "poor" returns on Solo . That means, no Obi-Wan, no Boba Fett, no whomever. Personally, I think a #BobaFett movie would have been a better opening for the series than #HanSolo, but that's because we know Han's story - we know his history and where he ends up. Bona Fett, on the other hand, is a wild card that Disney/LucasFilm could have explored. http://collider.com/star-wars-spinoffs-on-hold/

It was recorded last week inside a U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facility. The person who made the recording asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. That person gave the audio to Jennifer Harbury, a well-known civil rights attorney who has lived and worked for four decades in the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas border with Mexico. Harbury provided it to ProPublica.

"Obama generally refrained from prosecution in cases involving adults who crossed the border with their kids," said Peter Margulies, an immigration law and national security law professor at Roger Williams University School of Law. "In contrast, the current administration has chosen to prosecute adult border-crossers, even when they have kids. That's a choice — one fundamentally different from the choice made by both Obama and previous presidents of both parties." Let's be real for a moment. Ever since the media started running with the detainees' story, Republicans and their allies have been running around screaming loudly that Obama did it first and the rest of us are just being hypocritical. Well ... one thing they fail to mention are actual facts. Were some families separated during President Obama's eight years in office? Yes. But they were few and far between unlike #DonaldTrump's policy which is the exact opposite: to ruin all their famili

I posted recently about a guard at one of these facilities who said he quite because he was ordered to stop siblings from providing comfort to each other. I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of such a policy is, but this is supposed to be America. We're supposed to be better than this. Inside a room dedicated to toddlers was a little girl no older than 2, screaming and pounding her fists on a mat. One woman tried to give her toys and books to calm her down, but even that shelter worker seemed frustrated, Kraft told The Washington Post, because as much as she wanted to console the little girl, she couldn’t touch, hold or pick her up to let her know everything would be all right. That was the rule, Kraft said she was told: They’re not allowed to touch the children.

So many little bits and pieces of the last day or so that I wanted to discuss, but the epiphanies never seem to come all at once and they most assuredly never stick around long enough for me to jot them down. In fact, like many things in this modern world, they don't stick around past looking at anything electronic. I'm starting to believe modern electronics are thought-thieves. So, let's see if I can remember all of them - or at least enough to make this post interesting. The morning started off as many mornings do: I woke, showered, got dressed and then checked social media and the news just to make sure the #GlobalIdiot, Donald Trump, didn't inadvertently, or purposefully, bring us to war.

In #TrumpNation loyalty is paramount to just about anything else. Originally shared by **** Mari Stull has reviewed the social media pages of State Department staffers for signs of ideological deviation. She has researched the names of government officials to determine whether they signed off on Obama-era policies — though signing off does not mean officials personally endorsed them but merely cleared them through the bureaucratic chain. And she has inquired about Americans employed by international agencies, including the World Health Organization and the United Nations, asking their colleagues when they were hired and by whom, according the officials. "She is actively making lists and gathering intel,” said one of the sources, a senior diplomat. Stull also requires that every directive issued by the office be reviewed by her first, causing a bureaucratic bottleneck and even stalling issues that appear to be priorities of the White House.

Bought a new helmet the other day (right) to replace the 7 year old helmet (left) I've been using for ... well, seven years. They're both Scorpions and the new one is the model that replaced the old one. I think I picked out the wrong size. The new one is an XL because I have a giant head and I checked, the old one is just an L . So, I may have to head back and try an L on to see if it fits better. Otherwise, it's a lighter carbon fiber as opposed to the older plastic and grabs my head around the crown and the jawline as opposed to squeezing my cheeks together. It's more an all-purpose helmet than a touring or race specific style, which I'm okay with. I wish the striping was reflective though. That way I'd be noticeable at night, but I'm not complaining.

Oil I purchased some oil for the SV to give it an oil change and fell deep into the internet of "what oil is best for my bike" questions on forums, blog posts, videos, etc. What oil do you use? For the past decade I've been using Rotella T6 5w-40 in my Sv1000s. It hasn't been spectacular, but it hasn't been bad, either. And by 'bad' I mean, it hasn't done any harm. On some forums (specifically related to the SV1Ks) the going consensus is that just about any oil rated "JASO" is appropriate for use in a wet clutch and therefore, just about any diesel oil will work. Others claimed they've been using any oil they can get their hands on, whether it's "JASO" rated or not, with no problems. Others said they only use Suzuki oil and others, again, claim they only use oil formulated for race bikes. As a change, I bought some Chevron Diesel 5w-40 (Synthetic) yesterday and will soon change out the oil in my SV. Maybe it will run better

Think of it from the real estate perspective.”_ In #TrumpNation, if you're not enriching yourself as a public servant, then you're too ethical to work in government. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/06/12/reporters-thought-this-video-was-north-korea-propaganda-it-came-from-the-white-house/

Recently there has been some news coming out of Florida. Okay, well, there's always news coming out of Florida, but this wasn't another tale of the #FloridaMan or some weird story about alligators and sharks, this was a story about how an employee for the state of Florida failed to run FBI background checks on hundreds, if not thousands, of conceal-carry applications. Apparently, per the employee, she forgot her FBI log on credentials to the national database for a year. This resulted in the state of Florida having to revoke nearly 300 permits that were issued during the year this employee couldn't log in. (Seriously, how could she go a year without logging in and no one - her boss, for example - caught her?) The headlines for this story are all the same, though: Florida   this  and Florida   that: I pointed out on social media, where one person had posted one of these articles (from PBS, if I remember correctly), that I wish the headlines were a little mor

She's joining the Air Force. We can do better. #TrumpNation https://twitter.com/_SJPeace_/status/1006272304148570112?s=19

Have I shared this one before? I'm clearing out some open tabs and thought this just might be one I was holding to post. Either way, it's #DonaldTrump "presidential" etiquette. In #TrumpNation "etiquette" is a four-letter word. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/25/opinion/editorials/Donald-Trumps-Guide-To-Presidential-Etiquette.html

This isn't technology, per se, but it's a direct result of humanity's drive to create and share our art over technology. So, if you were away from Earth, what would you hear? What sort of radio waves are leaving this planet and venturing out into the black? What are those little green men (just kidding, we know they're grey) listening to out there? http://www.lightyear.fm/

#DonaldTrump lies. This isn't news. Hell, even his supporters know he lies, they just happen to applaud him when he does so. We need to make the truth fashionable again but sadly, some politicians (read: #GOP) will always try to lie and/or mislead if it means getting their way. Sure, some Democrats will as well, but it's not the Dems who are lying about known facts on a daily basis.

There are many laws #DonaldTrump has been accused of violating since he became president, but the Presidential Records Act? Apparently the Idiot-in-Chief has been tearing up and throwing away official records that are required to be preserved. A White House team was working furiously to preserve those documents and then ... they were fired. In #TrumpNation paper trails can lead to jail. via Emlyn O'Regan Originally shared by Robert Cooper Ultimate #NotTheOnion https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/10/trump-papers-filing-system-635164

I've never been married but I've observed enough couples before, during and post-marriage to recognize the signs brought up in this article. Have you experienced any of these? Are you in one of the stages now? Are you willing to talk about it? http://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/how-getting-married-changes-your-personality

Went to a #bikenight last night. Lots of bikes there, as well as a dyno machine and the traditional slow drag: a race to be the slowest bike down the line.

Fox News contributer has a Freudian slip, referring to the meet and greet between #DonaldTrump and Kim Jung Un as a meeting between "two dictators." In #TrumpNation even your supporters know what you are. https://twitter.com/adamcbest/status/1005825231041323008
