The real issue is authentic versus simulated rough childhoods. Freemasons fucking up their kids to see how they behave and try to correct/program their behaviour based on the responses is more fucked than authentically fucked experience and the simulated experience doesn’t build true character. It’s only as good as the simulation and its parameters and behavioural engineering has a long way to go. Non-consensual behavioural engineering is worse than rape.

Good times may create weak men, but authentic experience is what develops real character growth and wisdom and NOT the kind of synthetic fraudulent experience that is all too often synthesised today. Synthetic experience is about as useful as tits on a bull.

Their product page is pretty much what’s on the market at present https://www.eink.com/

Yep the press release from sharp quotes it’s made by e-ink holdings of Taiwan.

Just been to Taiwan and Japan before. This form factor of e-ink display is super new. I believe it may well be made by one of the Taiwanese shops but badged by Sharp.

e-ink is a big deal in Taiwan right now. The prices should come down fairly steeply in the next year or two.

Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity.

Many a large corporation had revenue growth even when the writing was on the wall for their business model.

I'd suggest Freemasonry is just the interoperability layer. It's layer 3 cult-networking to allow disparate and traditionally incompatible cults to participate in an Open Conspiracy (as in H.G. Wells) fused with B.F. Skinner's Walden 2. I would have once suggested Walden Two was a farfetched work of fiction but it is apparent that the dystopia is all too real.

Given that the tactics use by masons seem to be an interesting amalgamation of military tactics, corporate tactics and organized religious tactics your analysis is indeed spot on.

One might even suspect you're an insider.

You mean you want this? https://www.appropedia.org/Welcome_to_Appropedia

You think the problem is just the CEO and not the corporate culture or its complacency and arrogance and now confusion now that it's no longer the darling of Wall Street/The Nikkei? It's yet another Japanese zombie corporation that's lost its way.

Interesting article, but I think the issue is that we are at an inflection point in human history where there are particular groups trying to manufacture sociopaths.

There are certain cults (I speak specifically of freemasonry but there are many affiliates) that seem to make a thing of trying to manufacture sociopaths through the application of behavioural psychology and coercion to Stockholm syndrome victims into joining their agenda but also to induce sociopathic behaviour.

Those inducted are led to believe that they are on a righteous path, are part of a special few that have the true knowledge (while the rest of society are ignorant) and that the agenda is ultimately for a greater good. Of course this greater good is used as the justification for a tyranny of little people; pretty much like every other sociopathic agenda through history. The only difference is that this time it's happening on a scale that's unprecedented, it's the cause of much of the strangeness in politics and indeed within the media and is all about re-engineering the human condition.

I've long held the belief that trying to prevent something often manifests it for we focus our energy on it. These sociopaths suggest that the world is heading for catastrophe and that's part of their justification for breaking the system for their perceived greater good. I offer the suggestion that this is uncharted territory and I suspect those behaving despicably thinking they are working to a righteous agenda may well go to their graves realising they created a greater evil than humanity has ever known. But of course such sociopaths never believe THEY are the problem - it's always everyone else, right?

Have you considered the possibility that "Earthlings" is one data point among a very complex web of superficially opposing ideas/arguments that are actually all part of a coordinated agenda to try to fundamentally change your behaviour and psychology by messing with your emotions?

Go look up B.F. Skinner and Operant Conditioning (His book Walden 2 is a semi-fictional work that provides a pretty good approximation to the game that's afoot). I'm sure I'll get shot down for presenting a conspiracy, but once you open your eyes to Operant Conditioning, considering the possibility that power hungry groups haven't been using it is kind of like trying to imagine a world where people chose not to use the internet. The only difference is that applied behavioural psychology is more dangerous and powerful than the internet.

This game is happening quite pervasively and a lot of smart people have been coercively brainwashed into being passive if not active players in this process. There are of course a litany of justifications used by those that do the brainwashing.

It will seem farfetched until it's not.

Agree with you regarding the underlying data and the reality it presents.

Disagree with your view on marketing: companies engage in whatever marketing delivers dollars in revenue and profit to the bottom line.

If people are dumb enough to blindly believe the green bs then companies are dumb enough to take their money.

Monopolies are also incredibly efficient at delivering shareholder value while minimising CO2 release.

And Cloudflare is able to deliver the highest mass surveillance per watt in the industry.

There are never completely full flights. Those only exist in your mind as a result of careful operant conditioning.

Fishy click bait title. The reason electric is so popular is that ICE vehicles get taxed 100% and electrics are not. Remove the incentives and I suspect the market would be different.

Isn't this universal among email sysadmins?

Thinking laterally for a moment regarding the big picture here, why do we still rely on data centres.

They made sense in a world of dialup and low speed / high latency broadband. But there are lots of places with high speed fibre and not much latency to the peering points.

And the more we break away from data centres and clouds, the more the internet infrastructure will have to work the way it was designed instead of having to flow through these crazy aggregation points that are both serious points of failure and major security risks.

Agree re: everything you said but wanted to add datadentre security staff are some of the most interesting characters I’ve encountered. Not sure I sleep as well at night after seeing what I saw.

A quick warning on hetzner. I needed a personal bare metal machine so signed up.

I was travelling and on an IP in a distant land so their sign up asked for secondary verification via PayPal. All passed and now it’s should get a server?

Nope - next day their support emailed telling me they would not approve my account without… no word of a lie here… either 1: a fax of my passport info page or 2: a scan and email containing the same.

I refused reminding them of GDPR and that email is at best opportunistically encrypted and at worst open to interception.

They replied stating they believed they were GDPR compliant because all they do is use the passport to verify the account and delete the document. They also said I could hide anything sensitive other than my name and date of birth!!

I suggested the process is not GDPR compliant as anyone could intercept unencrypted emails and that they should talk to a lawyer if they did not believe my assertion.

Within a short time the server was approved and online. I queried if they would revise their process in light of our interaction. They did not address the question.

You are correct. But this is a culture issue. Culturally legal folk don’t see what they do as programming so they use different tools and work their processes their way. This is advantageous to outsiders who see through this! ;)

Cause git ain’t user friendly enough for lawyers and they use word not a plain text editor which doesnt make it easy to see the diffs. But yes ;)

Just my two cents -

Not sure the language you choose matters as much as making the API usable by a wide audience. Sure if performance is a real issue then rust makes more sense than JS but I’m not sure that’s going to be hugely meaningful in most use cases.

I’ve never been a fan of Latex despite writing some mammoth documents over the years. Latex always felt like a beast for academics not for business. Yet there’s often things I wanted to do consistently in Word etc. that have never been easy.

Styles can easily become a muddle. Having consistent numbering and bulleting is a pain and errors can easily creep in.

Tracking changes becomes a real problem when you get into many revisions and that often always ends up relying on a level of trust between parties to not override the tracking. I think there’s a killer app in just fixing this issue with a product that guarantees that guarantees all changes are properly shown from the start of a process to it being fully approved by all parties. Businesses, lawyers etc would love that stuff. Heck if you sprinkle blockchain in you might even get easy funding but I think it’s more of a basic cryptography thing than a blockchain thing - at least it doesn’t need that level of complexity.

Open sourcing the process is what's interesting to me.

I wonder how long it will be for this to go from the equivalent of Linus posting on a newsgroup to it displacing TSMC's lead?

So in effect our complex technology systems will start to exhibit a digital form of "cancer" from excessive radiation exposure? Perhaps not as in something that replicates or spreads but the effects may not be outright failure but very strange errors that are unpredictable and can have huge knock on effects.

Oh really? I'd suggest it's equally or more true that we live in an age where we have to endure the pseudo-intellectual dross of the perpetually insecure and envious who want to inflict their neocommunist agenda upon the world and have us settle for a universal level of bland instead of permitting those with vision to make the world better.

Well if it addressed their fundamental insecurity, it might be an argument with at least some validity. Sadly, I suspect they'll remain insecure irrespective.

Nokia’s been a zombie corporation for a long time. This isn’t news… this was a scheduled calendar event from at least as far back as 2007.

An efficient hack. Cheaper than calling in the union busters!

Cool so you going to wear gloves every time you eat out, touch a door, hold a glass etc.? You’re shedding DNA throughout the day. How is that fundamentally different?

But that’s just it. You now get the 23 and me defence… my DNA data was hacked therefore there’s reasonable doubt the DNA linking me to the murder was synthesized from the 23 and me leak.
