Not sure what this means but Tim must had not been on Twitter last year. There was a moment that went on for 4+ months of wild endless violence against federal agents.

We live in a conspiracy theory with neoliberal corporate racketeers proclaiming they’re saving us from the ill affects of their own corporate communication platforms for not the public but for woke leftists that vote for Democratic party establishment figures.

Not Bernie, that guy’s a socialist and a threat to my 401k.

And I consider iMessages and the philosophical design limits of Apple as gross, creepy, anti-utilitarian and predatory.

iMessages should be open platform. Apple won’t exist in 20 years because even current technology implemented in a better system would displace all telecoms and all social media companies within 18 months.

Prediction: 2025 end of the Valley

Are you suggesting I have aided the pandemic? I have barely seen anyone. I am safe. I live in Beverly Hills where fascist authoritarians have destroyed our city.

So nice to see sycophantic unintelligent “hackers” promote blind authoritarianism. You have no concept of the words you so ambitiously spout.

I’m not denying the numbers but I was at Century City mall today. Lot of people relatively, lot of fun. Made 3 new friends today and went on a date.

Yes roughly 2-3x the people are dying everyday vs 5 months ago. That’s horrible obviously but I barely see anyone in a close setting.

But people are living despite it. My friend is dating 3 to 7 girls at once and they all know each other (and all hang out together).

Not saying that’s ideal but the pandemic isn’t affecting people like cable news suggest. Barely anyone talks about it but we all try to be careful.

I’d post on my main HN account but I was shadowbanned last week.

I was blocked from sharing comments or posts in Facebook Groups for almost 2 months for sharing an article about Presidential clemency for Ross Ulbricht in the 2600 group.

From my perspective, the Organic Law of the United States has constitutional force. And any system including government agencies and public platforms, are beholden to the natural rights that preexisted all governments and all religions.

If you believe in John Locke, then defend principles. If you don’t, perhaps you should consider a country which wasn’t founded on natural rights as the lowest layer precept to our civilization. You can’t challenge first principles and replace them with relativism and a world full of neoliberal militaristic rackets.

Yes but the inflation will come in 5-7 years. Just in time to liquidate the amount of debt the government owes.

Pretty clever trick but it’s only a random accident of the financialized systems that make modern life possible. It’s like how all the pandemic chaos only increased corporate profits and government power.

It’s just endless consistent accidents that never benefit 95% of people.

I agree and I took your advice. I believe in building things not trying to find some investment. I mined bitcoin and bought it at $1. And I looked at Ethereum prior to their ICO.

Start a business, build a product. If you have excess cash by all means invest in crypto assets and startups.

Using iOS feels like someone developed it without using it ever. The iPhone is the most obtuse and mindless device I’ve ever used. I daisy chain Rune Goldberg-style systems to do basic tasks involving a PDF or large file.

Save the PDF to iBooks, oh I can’t export it now let me try the print to PDF trick etc etc.

All this seems designed to encourage me to pay more for iCloud or other Apple products. Nothing makes sense, everything’s broken and people still love it.

Also I reflexively clicked ok out of laziness and annoyance without knowing what it was. Not quite a dark pattern but you certainly aren’t completely aware what it’s asking within the first second of seeing it.

Also because the corporate media in general and the left leaning companies, don’t really respect facts anymore. Entire networks ignore valid stories. And they subtly and aggressive distort and deflect, “There is no explicit evidence of overt corruption and to suggest otherwise is dangerous to our institutions.”

I’m a big defender of intelligence agencies but people like John Brennan are widely hated within the Intelligence Community. The political operatives masquerading as intelligence officials are leading CNN — which is disturbing.

Reality has been conflated. We’re all living in a conspiracy theory.

This is certainly not true for me. Fasting 16 hours a day has changed my life. I eat relatively healthy but been eating a lot of sugar, full pizzas etc so I doubt I’m at a calorie deficit more than once a week.

As an aside, I had cancer and worked with surgeons professionally. And I am exceptionally skeptical and disappointed in the curiosity of doctors and surgeons. Some of my doctors would repeat word for word answers. My oncologist didn’t know basic questions.

I just want to point out that we don’t have to put up with this endless creepy corporate invasion of our lives. Eventually Apple, Google and these other behemoths will be disrupted and displaced by technology.

The curve favors the individual not the corporation or the state.

And the victim Curtis Green said that maybe Carl Mark Force made up the evidence against Ross. Plus Force actually endangered Green’s life by doxing him as an informant to drug dealers.

Not to mention the Baltimore Task Force threatened to punish Green for stealing bitcoin from some admin access when it was in fact the corrupt federal agents who did it.

He won't elaborate on the DNC hack because he says he has no original reporting. Does that mean no one on the forums or in the subculture talks about it?

He said:

"Based on what I’ve learned over the past decade studying Russian language, culture and hacking communities, my sense is that if the Russians were responsible and wanted to hide that fact — they’d have left a trail leading back to some other country’s door."

And note, the founders of phishing in the early 90s were mostly teenage kids, maybe 14-16. It doesn't take a state actor to 'spear phish'.

Not only that, he's encouraging people to travel by automobile and to drink alcohol. These are two driving forces of the people are dying phenomenon.

I'm all for safe interaction, wearing a mask, social distancing and limiting social engagements but I'm more concerned with subtle and aggressive forms of authoritarian thought becoming mainstream.
