UNIX Has Collapsed Due To Hate Exhaustion, Viral Infection !!!
by grarpamp 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

https://kukuruku.co/post/the-collapse-of-the-unix-philosophy/ In the first part of the article, I will enumerate lots of UNIX cheap and dirty hacks, and other various drawbacks. In the second part, we’ll talk about the UNIX philosophy. UNIX Haters Handbook https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13781815 http://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf When I read this 20 years ago I would never have believed I'd be typing this on a Mac laptop running yet another Unix variant. This line is now so funny... As for me? I switched to the Mac. No more grep, no more piping, no more SED scripts. Just a simple, elegant life: “Your application has unexpectedly quit due to error number –1. OK?” UNIX - The World'd First Computer Virus ;)

The world's greatest taboo conversation in 15 entertaining minutes
by Zenaan Harkness 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

As we know, there are a handful of conversations generally not permitted "in polite society", nor also on main stream lame stream media. The holocaust question is one of those. Matthew Drake does a 15 minute artistic Youtube analysing this taboo conversation, which is a rather pleasant viewing. The Ministry of Truth will likely continue to stamp its firm censoring hand - indeed there are around 15 countries from memory which make holocaust denial a jailable offence! What a world we live in.

Police: We're Taking Your DNA, Abusing It / You / Privacy, and We Don't Give A Fuck

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_DNA_DATABASES https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/02/san-diego-police-targets-african-amer… Associated Press: Dozens of police departments around the U.S. are amassing their own DNA databases to track criminals, a move critics say is a way around regulations governing state and national databases that restrict who can provide genetic samples and how long that information is held. The local agencies create the rules for their databases, in some cases allowing samples to be taken from children or from people never arrested for a crime. Police chiefs say having their own collections helps them solve cases faster because they can avoid the backlogs that plague state and federal repositories... Frederick Harran, the public safety director in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania...said he knows of about 60 departments using local databases... "The local databases have very, very little regulations and very few limits, and the law just hasn't caught up to them," said Jason Kreig, a law professor at the University of Arizona who has studied the issue. One ACLU attorney cites a case where local police officers in California took DNA samples from children without even obtaining a court order first.

US Gov / FBI: Our Secrets Are Too Precious, Move Along

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/doj-drops-case-against-child-po… https://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/comments/5xfr9c/fbi_drops_playpen_case_to_avoi… Federal prosecutors just dropped charges against a child pornography suspect rather than reveal the source code for their Tor exploit. Of the 200 cases they're prosecuting nationwide, this is only the second one where the FBI has asked that the case be dismissed. "Disclosure is not currently an option," federal prosecutors wrote in a court ruling Friday. The Department of Justice is still prosecuting 135 different people believed to have accessed an illegal child pornography web site. Before shutting it down, the FBI seized the site and operated it themselves for 13 more days, which allowed them to deploy malware to expose the users' real IP addresses.

Data Brokers: Getting All Up In Yo Ass, On The Downlow

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13802068 Ask HN: Who really gives your personal info to Intelius, Instant Checkmate, etc? 151 points by mehrdadn 5 hours ago | hide | past | web | 124 comments | favorite Please excuse the frustrated tone; the "secrecy" all over the internet about the whole issue has been driving me insane. The usual useless BS is "oh, these companies get it from governmental public records". Yeah, right. I'm pretty darn sure that some of the personal information I can find online on MyLife, Intelius, InstantCheckmate, Spokeo, etc. is not in some government agency's public record, and regardless, surely there's no way that hundreds of companies are repeating each others' work over and over again when they could just buy the information from someone. Someone (or a few) hidden underneath has to be doing the heavy-lifting of scraping people's data from sketchy sources and selling them to third-party companies while staying hidden. My question is, who are these, and (where it is possible to know) whom are they selling to? How can I find out? Surely someone knows, and I'm tired of playing this goose chase where those who don't know just make random guesses as to how the information must be coming from some some public records, and those who do know say hardly anything beyond "you have to know where to look". I'm not looking for just 1 pointer, though I would appreciate it. I'm tired of pointer chasing. I'm just looking for as comprehensive a list as possible. It has to exist somewhere... after all, when a court needs to order that someone's information be purged (for whatever reason, e.g. for safety), it's got to have a list of these data aggregators somewhere, so I'm sure some people must know. So how do I find out? I'm hoping to also learn to fish in addition to being given the fish. Thank you!
