Dick held hostage by Chinese hacker

 

'We Spoke To a Guy Who Got His Dick Locked In a Cage By a Hacker' (vice.com)196

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Motherboard:Sam Summers was sitting at home with his penis wrapped in an internet-connected chastity cage when he got a weird message on the app that connects to the device. Someone told him they had taken control and they wanted around $1,000 in Bitcoin to give control back to Summers. "Initially, I thought it was my partner doing that," Summers told Motherboard in a phone call. "It sounds silly, but I got a bit excited by it." But when Summers called his partner, she told him it wasn't her, even after he told her their safe word. That's when he realized he had gotten hacked. His penis was locked in the cage, and he had no way out.

Summers is one of several people who purchased a chastity cage device called Cellmate and produced by Qiui, a China-based manufacturer. Some of the device's owners got their accounts -- and thus their devices as well -- hacked at the end of last year, after security researchers warned that the manufacturer left an exposed and vulnerable API, which could allow hackers to take control of the devices.

Scared and a bit desperate, Summers realized he had some Bitcoin stashed in an old account. So he sent the hacker what they wanted, hoping that would be it. But when the hacker got the money, they asked for more, according to Summers. "That's when I felt fucking stupid and angry," Summers said. At that point, Summers and his partner started brainstorming ways to get his penis out of the cage. At home, they only had a hammer, so they went out and bought a pair of bolt cutters. His partner tried first, but she couldn't break through. So Summers had to do it himself. The way he was holding his penis put it "in a dangerous spot," he said, so it was "very scary." Nonetheless, he was able to break the cage, but the cutters still cut through him, he said. "I don't have a scar or anything but I was bleeding and it fucking hurt," Summers said.

Chinese Government Is Collecting Americans' DNA

 

US Intelligence Officials Say Chinese Government Is Collecting Americans' DNA (cbsnews.com)28

schwit1 shares a report from CBS News:The largest biotech firm in the world wasted no time in offering to build and run COVID testing labs in Washington, contacting its governor right after the first major COVID outbreak in the U.S. occurred there. The Chinese company, the BGI Group, made the same offer to at least five other states, including New York and California, 60 Minutes has learned. This, along with other COVID testing offers by BGI, so worried Bill Evanina, then the country's top counterintelligence officer, that he authorized a rare public warning. "Foreign powers can collect, store and exploit biometric information from COVID tests" declared the notice. Evanina believes the Chinese are trying to collect Americans' DNA to win a race to control the world's biodata. Jon Wertheim speaks to Evanina and others for an investigation into how personal data, particularly biodata, has become a precious commodity and in the wrong hands, poses threats to national security and the economy.

youtube suspends Trump, Giuliani accounts

 

YouTube Extends Trump's Suspension For a Second Time (cnet.com)65

YouTube on Tuesday said it's again extending its suspension of former President Donald Trump, who's been banned from posting videos to his channel since Jan. 12. Comments on Trump's videos will also remain disabled indefinitely. CNET reports:"In light of concerns about the ongoing potential for violence, the Donald J. Trump channel will remain suspended," a YouTube spokesperson confirmed to CNET. "Our teams are staying vigilant and closely monitoring for any new developments." YouTube first extended Trump's suspension last week, saying it would reevaluate the situation in a week. The company gave no indication on Tuesday of how long the latest extension would last.

YouTube has a three-strikes policy when it comes to policing its platform. Three infractions within a 90-day period results in being permanently kicked off the platform. The first strike typically comes with a one-week ban that prohibits the posting of new content. A second strike comes with a two-week ban.
YouTube also suspended Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump's lawyer, from a program that allows partners to make money from ads on their videos, after Giuliani broke YouTube's rules by repeatedly sharing election misinformation.

Over the last three years, YouTube's Partner Program paid out more than $30 billion to creators, artists, and media organizations.

Electric DeLorean

 

The DeLorean Might Be Coming Back As an Electric Car (electrek.co)82

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Electrek:The DMC DeLorean has been out of production for almost 40 years, but now we've learned that the iconic vehicle might be coming back as an electric car. In 1995, Stephen Wynne bought the company's old inventory and trademark to relaunch the brand based in Texas. At first, the plan was to bring back the same vehicle with more modern technology in low volume. For the past 5 years, the company pushed for the adoption of new rules for low volume vehicle production with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These new rules were finally recently adopted, but the delay was so long that it complicated DeLorean's plans. The engine that they plan to use is not going to be compliant with emission standards starting in 2022 and the landscape has changed significantly.

In a new blog post, the company is now hinting that going electric with the DeLorean: "That said, with EV's becoming more mainstream, we've been considering switching to an all-electric as the future. It certainly makes for an easier path through emissions maze which still looms large over any internal combustion engine. While an electric Cobra or Morgan may be a little extreme for their potential market, we've already seen that an EV DeLorean -- as we displayed at the 2012 New York International Auto Show -- is not such an 'out there' idea." The company hints at being in the process of looking to secure financing to bring an electric DeLorean and says "stay tuned."

AI Prostate cancer diagnosis: 100% accurate urinalysis in 20 minutes

 

Prostate Cancer Can Be Precisely Diagnosed Using a Urine Test With AI (phys.org)30

An anonymous reader Phys.Org:The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced that the collaborative research team led by Dr. Kwan Hyi Lee from the Biomaterials Research Center and Professor In Gab Jeong from Asan Medical Center developed a technique for diagnosing prostate cancer from urine within only 20 minutes with almost 100% accuracy. The research team developed this technique by introducing a smart AI analysis method to an electrical-signal-based ultrasensitive biosensor. As a noninvasive method, a diagnostic test using urine is convenient for patients and does not need invasive biopsy, thereby diagnosing cancer without side effects. However, as the concentration of cancer factors is low in urine, urine-based biosensors are only used for classifying risk groups rather than for precise diagnosis thus far.

Dr. Lee's team at the KIST has been working toward developing a technique for diagnosing disease from urine with an electrical-signal-based ultrasensitive biosensor. An approach using a single cancer factor associated with a cancer diagnosis was limited in increasing the diagnostic accuracy to over 90%. However, to overcome this limitation, the team simultaneously used different kinds of cancer factors instead of using only one to enhance the diagnostic accuracy innovatively.

The team developed an ultrasensitive semiconductor sensor system capable of simultaneously measuring trace amounts of four selected cancer factors in urine for diagnosing prostate cancer. They trained AI by using the correlation between the four cancer factors, which were obtained from the developed sensor. The trained AI algorithm was then used to identify those with prostate cancer by analyzing complex patterns of the detected signals. The diagnosis of prostate cancer by utilizing the AI analysis successfully detected 76 urinary samples with almost 100 percent accuracy.
The results of the study have been published in the journal ACS Nano.

Chatbots of the dead

 

Microsoft Patent Shows Plans To Revive Dead Loved Ones As Chatbots (independent.co.uk)55

Microsoft has been granted a patent that would allow the company to make a chatbot using the personal information of deceased people. The Independent reports:The patent describes creating a bot based on the "images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages," and more personal information. "The specific person [who the chat bot represents] may correspond to a past or present entity (or a version thereof), such as a friend, a relative, an acquaintance, a celebrity, a fictional character, a historical figure, a random entity etc," it goes on to say.

"The specific person may also correspond to oneself (e.g., the user creating/training the chat bot)," Microsoft also describes -- implying that living users could train a digital replacement in the event of their death. Microsoft has even included the notion of 2D or 3D models of specific people being generated via images and depth information, or video data.

The idea that you would be able, in the future, to speak to a simulation of someone who has passed on is not new. It is famously the plot of the Black Mirror episode "Be Right Back," where a young woman uses a service to scrape data from her deceased partner to create a chatbot -- and eventually a robot.

Google's coercive paid propaganda in Australia, France

 

Google Threatens To Remove Search in Australia as Spat Escalates (bloomberg.com)

Google has threatened to disable its search engine in Australia if it's forced to pay local publishers for news, a dramatic escalation of a months-long standoff with the government. From a report:The proposed law, intended to compensate publishers for the value their stories generate for the company, is "unworkable," Mel Silva, managing director for Australia and New Zealand, told a parliamentary hearing Friday. She specifically opposed the requirement that Google pay media companies for displaying snippets of articles in search results.

The threat is Google's most potent yet as the digital giant tries to stem a flow of regulatory action worldwide. At least 94% of online searches in Australia go through the Alphabet unit, according to the local competition regulator. "We don't respond to threats," Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday. "Australia makes our rules for things you can do in Australia. That's done in our parliament. It's done by our government. And that's how things work here in Australia."


Google Agrees To Pay French News Sites To Send Them Traffic (arstechnica.com)85

Timothy B. Lee reports via Ars Technica:French news sites have prevailed in negotiations with Google over "neighboring rights," a new legal right granted by the 2019 EU Copyright Directive. An agreement between Google and the French news industry "establishes a framework within which Google will negotiate individual licensing agreements" with individual news organizations, according to Google. Under these deals, French news articles will be featured in a new Google product called News Showcase.

"The remuneration that is included in these licensing agreements is based on criteria such as the publisher's contribution to political and general information, the daily volume of publications, and its monthly internet traffic," according to the announcement. The agreement is particularly significant because it offers a model for other European countries that want to force Google to fork over cash to their own news sites. In the past, Google's hardball tactics deterred most European countries from trying to force Google to pay up. But with the passage of the EU copyright directive, European countries formed a united front against Google, making it much harder for Google to resist. Google's capitulation in France will weaken its bargaining position as other European countries pass their own versions of the French law and news organizations in other countries line up for their share of Google cash.

in a completely other post I could easily enumerate policies that clearly transcend administrations regardless of party - particularly immigration and war in the Middle East.

Remembering the last recession: Lessons and patterns from 2009

 

Just a year after Obama took office, 2009 brought us H1N1 which was declared a national emergency, though nothing was shut down or handled as it has been today. One might argue that the virus of 2009 didn't pose the same threat as covid, but hindsight is 20-20, no pun intended.

Coincidentally, 2009 was the worst year of the global recession, during which time Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece sunk into desperation, while Brazil miraculously not only survived financial crisis but was flush with cash, and began buying up distressed properties from Portugal, along with beach front property in Miami. At that time, I was dating a South African woman whose sister was married to a wealthy attorney in Lisbon, and the two met in Rio to attend a real estate event selling off multi-million dollar homes to Brazilian buyers. This all under socialist Brazilian President, Lula. Back up to 2002, and read this article featuring speculation from George Soros discussing the possible election of Lula, then put his later Presidency into prespective.

That same year, 2009, the emerging markets, known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), united at the G20 summit in Brazil with the goal of creating an international currency to topple the dollar. Though it was not achieved, we can look back and recognize the thinking and international relationships that formed under a common objective. Check this out.

Let's also not forget the stimulus of 2009, Obama's Keynesian response to the recession whereby the U.S. government signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a $787 billion and later an $831B economic package aimed at 'infrastructure, education, health and renewable energy'.

The cherry on top was only 2 years later - Occupy Wallstreet - whereby the housing bubble found convenient blame for the global financial crisis, the Great Recession of 2008, organized by Soros, regardless of the overbuilding that led to the 'predatory lending' practices. Why the overbuilding? Noone ever talks about the abundance of cheap, shoddy labor from illegal crews. Nothing against the Mexicans, but it wouldn't have been possible without them. Let's not forget, it was a global recession.

During the recession, this is the time when people lose homes, property values plummet, and those with cash buy it all up cheap, then sell later. Fast forward to the last four years, where inventory and rates are low, prices are skyrocketing. Is this another bubble headed for yet another planned recession that should pop right around the time covid forgiveness ends, March? Funny how Wallstreet was demonized then, while Big Tech is now aligned with the left and drives media blackouts, is somehow a good thing. What's the difference? Trump tried going after the tech giants, but why aren't the kids out protesting the gazillionaire tech companies?

What else? Gas prices were running around $5 per gallon. In the last four years, gas has been in the $1-2 range, even pre-covid. Most recently, cost per barrel jumped up $15 dollars in one week. Apart from affecting fuel costs, I remember food costs going way up. 

Fast forward to today and we find some remarkable parallels to 2009.

Only a few years ago, we began hearing of an impending recession, and though the economy remained strong through Trump's presidency, a new and improved coronavirus (COVID-19) debuted in time for the election and this time the left called for shut downs, thereby crushing the global economy. 

Combined with two recent stimulus plans, the U.S. finds itself once again with a thinner currency, and now with heavy funding from big tech, media blackouts, and nationwide riots under the pretense of racism and police brutality, the election has been stolen and the U.S. is divided.

It's not hard to see how there is a clear, concerted global plan to kill the U.S. economy, and that's why Trump's 'America First' strategy is not to be dismissed as Hitler-minded nationalistic poisonous thought. This is just round two.

 More perspective on the implications of this situation here, this student of the London School of Economics which is associated with the socialist party in Europe, Adam Tooze...

Here's what Brazil thinks under President Bolsanero, aka 'The Trump of the South'. 'Quoting Lula and George Soros, the article is entitled 'Quoting Lula and George Soros, Brazilians who voted for Trump see election fraud'.

Meanwhile, Mexico survives with nearly no shut down under Soros-placed President Obrador. Is there a pattern here? 

Given the handling of COVID in California under Gov. Newsome, and the retaliation thereof, plus the economic mess there, we can speculate and watch. Some Silicon Valley giants are already pulling out. California would be quite a jewel for Mexico, should it thrive in an upcoming recession as Brazil did in 2009, and begin looking to make acquisitions, as La Raza has often called for with retaking former Mexican territories of the U.S. Let's see what happens if they the open borders. At the same time, it's been hard to read that Mexican President, he's supposedly a socialist, but he doesn't seem that way, and my Mexican friends don't think so either. In fact, he's calling for free speech. Let's see what happens. 

Harkening back to the Civil War, suddenly we revisit the impact of wiping away an agricultural economy. Let's not dismiss the nearly parallel race reversal of apartheid in South Africa, whereby white farmers are being murdered for their land.

And beyond...

My best speculation is that big tech can most take advantage of covid by pushing for working from home, a borderless society where they can employ anyone in the world based on cost of living. That's why there's FWD.US, which pushes for immigration rights under the guise of a morale imperative. That's probably why Elon Musk's Space X is being investigated by the FBI for discriminatory hiring practices on the basis that the applicant was not a US citizen. If a precedent can be established, and the idea of prioritizing citizens can be erased, it opens a lead for profits in the tech sector, and eventually for mass migration, a true global society - or as Soros calls it - open society. What does this imply for US currency, sovereignty and security? When the current administration calls for opening immigration based on race instead of contribution, we are looking at a big culture clash. It's not about race, but culture is important. Otherwise, we end up like Europe with hatchet attacks, acid attacks, gang rapes, etc. This pretense about racial equality is a joke considering the cultural attitudes in China, India, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa (BRICS). Use the transgenders to obliterate sexual identity, and keep on going until the concept of identify is almost considered offensive - that's how they do it in China, turning the masses into cattle. The reality, however, is that those running the show very much hold their own identity and certainly in a hierarchy. Let's not forget how the Indian culture regards the caste system.

What else - a virtual, 'touchless' world. With 5G, everyone will operate remotely, universal income equates very well to a reduction in lifestyle through an allowance / allocation. Where to start...hmm...how about $15/hour, with the argument that a family of four cannot live on less...but...they apparently can live on $15/hour? Sold! Here's your storage unit, your rations for the week, and here's your Amazon warehouse job. Bye bye small businesses. 

Bring down the costs of pharmaceuticals when we all have the same diseases which are distributed across the world through genetically designed global pandemics. Inoculate like cattle while also thinning the herd. It's like a SAAS model - roll it out regularly, starting with a 1.9 trillion dollar COVID relief package. Then, add in whatever modifications to prune and shape the population globally. Very Brave New World of them, it's the beginning of the 'decanting' process.

Transgenders really open the doors for starting up a cyborg lineage. Those who are most inclined to chop and modify their bodies on the basis of gender fluidity really lay the groundwork for a customizable interchangeable entity, capable of...what are the user stories?...ah, yes...reproduction.  And what else? Switching genders (and eventually, I'm sure, whatever other traits) at will. This pesky hardware problem can't be impossible, can it? Nothing is impossible. All we need is some time with CRISPR and we can do whatever we want. Reverse aging, grow or diminish what God hath bestowed or denied. Did someone say chimera? Those ass backward evangelicals always get twitchy when genders cross the line, "it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" and "next thang ya know it's gonna be beastiality". 

Nah, that would be crass and completely uncalled for. Just bypass sexual reproduction altogether, and head over to the Play Doh Fun Factory, where babies are made. With a dash of this and a sprinkle of that, you can have yourself a mythological creature in the flesh in no time. Pretty cool, huh? I'd like some feet that can get callous underneath when I detect rocky ground, Nike can kiss my ass! Or maybe some fur in all the right places when I start to shiver. If this all sounds too organic, there's absolutely no reason that we couldn't introduce some custom cells, tissues, organs and systems of our own on account of we like playing God, and with the help of AI and machine learning, we may not be God, but we can play him on TV, or we can always make one in our own image which should work out just fine. Afterall, we were made in his image, so there shouldn't be anything lost in translation, I'm sure of it. That's what I tell myself every time I look in the mirror. Ooh, but I'm thinning and my gums are receding. Someone get me that crispr thingy.

What about language? How is all this multiculturalism going to work out? (Swell). We have translation, but it's so slow and inaccurate. Does anyone remember Esperanto? If we're going global, isn't this the next hip thing? Let's have a listen.

C'mon, there's got to be an app for that, right? Not yet, but check out this entry about Mary Lou Jepson, who wants to bring MRIs down to a consumer level such that conversion of brainwaves across species can allow us to converse with animals. I shit you not. I like it! I cannot wait to tell my dog to wipe the toilet seat, that son of a bitch.

So yeah, it's all about cheap labor, starting by killing the dollar and economy, and the sovereignty of the US. I'm sure I'm falling short here, but that's a pretty good start. Anyone who questions the narrative of the mainstream media will be ostracized or at least censored. All this debating over philosophical nonsense is just a distraction. Let's not rule out a ground war. Everyone likes to talk about Civil War but who says there can't be foreign allies? All the cartels can converge and duke it out once everyone certain groups are given immunity from the police, and after the police are transitioned out. 

However, big tech will probably split, individuals will begin to unify based on ideology rather than racial and sexual identity, and so-called liberals will probably begin to realize they aren't as far left as they thought, once they don't have Trump around to hate and turn around to see what they voted for (they voted for anyone but Trump). It's not about parties or politicians, its about connecting the dots and seeing through to the actual agendas. Big tech and global power. Moving operations off shore and moving headcount on shore.

GM Reveals Electric Van and Delves Into Flying Cars (cnbc.com)25

General Motors unveiled a new electric van and revealed potential plans to delve into flying cars, sending its stock soaring by as much as 8.8% to $48.95 a share. CNBC reports:The EV600 electric van is scheduled to go on sale later this year through a new commercial business unit of GM's called BrightDrop. The division is planning a full portfolio of electric products, not just vehicles, including a delivery pallet that was unveiled Tuesday. The potential foray into "personal air mobility" was announced as part of Cadillac's portfolio of luxury and EV vehicles. It included an autonomous shuttle and an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or more commonly known as a flying car or air taxi.

Michael Simcoe, vice president of GM global design, said each concept reflected "the needs and wants of the passengers at a particular moment in time and GM's vision of the future of transportation." "This is a special moment for General Motors as we reimagine the future of personal transportation for the next five years and beyond," Simcoe said.

The flying vehicle is designed to hold one passenger and travel roughly 56 mph between rooftops and other urban destinations, according to the company. A GM spokeswoman confirmed GM has designed models of both autonomous concepts, but computer renderings were simulated during the presentation. She declined to provide other details. Despite uncertainties around personal air mobility, Morgan Stanley expects the autonomous urban aircraft market may be worth $1.5 trillion by 2040.

Alexa for President, 2024!

 

Siri doesn't stand a chance of getting in Office because she can't distinguish between 'when' and 'win'.

And who would be her running mate? I'll have to let this one sink in.

After having this thought, I searched and of course I'm not the first.

At this point, we will simply choose from whichever candidates the media and big tech deems fit. 

Monty Python cast filling in as Capitol Police

 

White House security is apparently such that anyone with a stiff arm and a strong push can waltz right in. 

Funny how the focus on investigating the Capital 'riot' is obsessive, but no one ever investigated any of the long list of cities burned and looted by BLM 'peaceful protestors', many of whom were bussed in a put up in high dollar hotels over night.

Yet, what a 'gold mine' to investigate something of such high magnitude, the siege of the open door White House. It's harder to get past the bouncer at Chuck E Cheese. Like the guards were just cardboard cutouts. Hey, China, Russia, North Korea, Iran! Come on down, we'll leave the light on for you.

I think the last words of the Capitol Police guards must have been 'Stay here, and make sure 'ee doesn't leave'.

Here's some footage. No snipers were harmed in the making of this film.

Scraped Parler Data Is a Metadata Gold Mine (techcrunch.com)251

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch:Embattled social media platform Parler is offline after Apple, Google and Amazon pulled the plug on the site after the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol last week that left five people dead. But while the site is gone (for now), millions of posts published to the site since the riot are not. A lone hacker scraped millions of posts, videos and photos published to the site after the riot but before the site went offline on Monday, preserving a huge trove of potential evidence for law enforcement investigating the attempted insurrection by many who allegedly used the platform to plan and coordinate the breach of the Capitol.

The hacker and internet archivist, who goes by the online handle @donk_enby, scraped the social network and uploaded copies to the Internet Archive, which hosts old and historical versions of web pages. In a tweet, @donk_enby said she scraped data from Parler that included deleted and private posts, and the videos contained "all associated metadata." The scraped videos from Parler appear to also include the precise location data of where the videos were taken. That metadata could be a gold mine of evidence for authorities investigating the Capitol riot, which may tie some rioters to their Parler accounts or help police unmask rioters based on their location data.
