Machine Identification Code: Print Analyze Burn
by grarpamp 27 Oct '18

27 Oct '18

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code A Machine Identification Code (MIC), also known as printer steganography, yellow dots, tracking dots or secret dots, is a digital watermark which certain color laser printers and copiers leave on every single printed page, allowing to identify the device with which a document was printed and giving clues to the originator. Developed by Xerox and Canon in the mid-1980s, its existence became public only in 2004. In 2018, scientists developed privacy software to anonymize prints in order to support whistleblowers publishing their work.

First US quantum network.

https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/25/new-plans-aim-to-deploy-the-first-u-s-qua… About 800 kilometers of unused fiber optic cable running down the U.S. eastern seaboard is set to become the first stateside quantum network. The aim is to get the quantum network up and running and accepting customers by the end of the year, making it the first time that quantum keys will be exchanged commercially on U.S. soil. Quantum Xchange, a Bethesda, Maryland-based quantum communications provider, has inked a deal for Zayo, a fiber network giant, to provide the stretch of fiber from Boston to Washington, DC. Its first aim is to help connect Wall Street financiers with their back operations in nearby New Jersey, but the hope is that other industries — from healthcare to critical infrastructure — will soon use the network for their own secure communications. Quantum cryptography and networking aren’t new concepts, but have risen to prominence in recent years as both a threat to some encryption and also the savior of future secure communications. Relying on photons and the laws of quantum physics to share encryption keys over a long distance from one place to another makes it significantly harder to intercept the keys without breaking the beam or perfectly cloning a copy. This technique, known as quantum key distribution (QKD), is seen as a likely contender for the future of end-to-end encryption. Although quantum cryptography has been around for years, it’s only been recently that scientists and computer engineers have harnessed the technology for practical uses. Soon, the technology could be used for protecting elections, transmitting payments and securing communications between data centers — even from satellites back to earth. Europe has already seen some success in building a small-scale quantum network, but “shortcomings” made bringing the system to the U.S. more difficult, said Quantum Xchange chief executive John Prisco. His company uses trusted node technology that passes quantum key data from point to point over a larger distance, making it easier to scale a quantum network over wider geographical spaces. “Organizations with offices in Boston will be able to send secure communications to a partner in D.C., and eventually even further – as the goal is to keep buying up optical fiber that is already in the ground all over the country so that we can provide a secure quantum network that will serve the entire nation,” he said. Prisco said it’s “critical” to establish a quantum key distribution network as a defensive measure “before the unprecedented power of quantum computers become an offensive weapon.”

D-Wave offers the first public access to a quantum computer From Python to parallel universes

https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/05/d-wave-offers-the-first-public-access-to-… utside the crop of construction cranes that now dot Vancouver’s bright, downtown greenways, in a suburban business park that reminds you more of dentists and tax preparers, is a small office building belonging to D-Wave. This office — squat, angular and sun-dappled one recent cool Autumn morning — is unique in that it contains an infinite collection of parallel universes. Founded in 1999 by Geordie Rose, D-Wave worked in relative obscurity on esoteric problems associated with quantum computing. When Rose was a PhD student at the University of British Columbia, he turned in an assignment that outlined a quantum computing company. His entrepreneurship teacher at the time, Haig Farris, found the young physicists ideas compelling enough to give him $1,000 to buy a computer and a printer to type up a business plan. The company consulted with academics until 2005, when Rose and his team decided to focus on building usable quantum computers. The result, the Orion, launched in 2007, and was used to classify drug molecules and play Sodoku. The business now sells computers for up to $10 million to clients like Google, Microsoft and Northrop Grumman. “We’ve been focused on making quantum computing practical since day one. In 2010 we started offering remote cloud access to customers and today, we have 100 early applications running on our computers (70 percent of which were built in the cloud),” said CEO Vern Brownell. “Through this work, our customers have told us it takes more than just access to real quantum hardware to benefit from quantum computing. In order to build a true quantum ecosystem, millions of developers need the access and tools to get started with quantum.” Now their computers are simulating weather patterns and tsunamis, optimizing hotel ad displays, solving complex network problems and, thanks to a new, open-source platform, could help you ride the quantum wave of computer programming.

This wall stopped the terrorists from Al-Qaeda; This wall was Libya. You are destroying it, you fools... For the many thousands of migrants from Africa, for your support of Al-Qaeda, you will burn in hell, this is how it will be. ” Until 1968, Libya was a monarchy. 70% of the population lived below the poverty line. Many were illiterate and lived in simple nomadic tents. It was a typical, underdeveloped African country. Gaddafi provided Libyans with the kind of life that made the rest of the dark continent envious. Out of a desert, arose the "8th wonder of the world" - the Great Man-Made River [world's largest irrigation project]. He was able to create a system of irrigation throughout the desert, through an underground pipe network. Factories and enterprises began working throughout Libya, none of which were there before. Not having payed a single Dinar, Libyans moved from tents into apartment blocks. "Rent" did not exist. Everything - including utilities and power was covered by the government. "If we were to compare the way cities, such as Tripoli, looked before he came to power and after ... You would see that it went from an ugly village, to a city with highrises, 30 years later." So you want to get married? The government would give newlywed couples $64,000 USD towards buying a home. $7,000 USD toward each child born. You want a car? The government will cover 50% of the cost. Petrol in Libya used to be cheaper than water - 3 cents per litre. "Minimum wages were in the thousands of dollars, education abroad was payed for by the state, and cases where medical surgeries needed to be carried out outside of Libya, the state covered that too." "But to bring lasting peace to Libya would be impossible - this land will forever be torn apart by the leaders of these various tribes." "They can't and don't want to be ruled by a single person." That's what the leaders of the superpowers said in the 1970s. Colonel Gaddafi surprised everyone. He unified 140 tribes into one country. Each of these tribes had their own leader - the options for Gaddafi was either "scare them to death" or to buy them. Gaddafi preferred the latter. He promised them a heavenly existence, and he delivered on his words. Gaddafi: “We have oil - this is what will unite us. Oil is the reason that Libya stayed as one country.” Gaddafi nationalised the oil producing industry. He promised that the huge profits would be fairly distributed across the entire country. All Libyans began to receive their share of the Libyan oil trade. "When the people can see that a certain leader is raising the standard of living, of course he will have a lot of supprot." ...

latest feminist atrocity - feminist scum attacks Cody Wilson.

Somehow I missed the last pentagon's operation. Checking the archive I see there was an obscure reference by christian fascist stormer zenaan, but unsurprisingly it was useless. so without further intro https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/19/business/cody-wilson-3d-guns-sexual-assa… 3-D Printed Gun Promoter, Cody Wilson, Is Charged With Sexual Assault of Child "Mr. Wilson, 30, is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl at a hotel in Austin on Aug. 15 and paying her $500 in cash" OOPS. So there wasn't any child involved. There was a 16 year, that is an adult, whore. But in the puritan, feminazi, americunt cesspool, 16 year old whores are 'children'. Now, it should be underscored that usually whores are belong to one of the most honest professions on the planet, but some whores, like this one are scum.

former Bush official Bruce Bartlett: Trump not living up to Hitler's legacy - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 24 Oct '18

Did not expect this one! Former Bush senior aide, Bruce Bartlett is entirely dissatisfied with Trump's performance so far, clearly suggesting Trump is failing to live up to Hitler's standard. That's rather funny given that Trump recently said “You Know What I Am? I’m a Nationalist”: https://dailystormer.name/you-know-what-i-am-im-a-nationalist/ which of course the ki^Byids^BJewish media are flipping out royally over: Yids Flip Lids Over Trump’s “I am a Nationalist” Declaration https://dailystormer.name/yids-flip-lids-over-trumps-i-am-a-nationalist-dec… Bruce Bartlett's shocking tweets: Hitler was BETTER than Trump, ex-Reagan & Bush official hints in a tweet https://www.rt.com/usa/442082-trump-hitler-favorable-twitter/ As they say in NZ, “yeah, nah, funny as bro, funny as!” :D

NEWS from Science NewsApp https://phys.org/news/2018-10-corruption-tops-5th-annual-chapman.html "More Americans are afraid than ever, according to the 5th annual Chapman University Survey of American Fears. The 2018 survey revealed that government corruption remains Americans' primary concern, and the state of the environment, which for the first time represents fully half of Americans' top 10 fears. This year, each of the top 10 fears are held by more than half of the population; in 2017 only five of that year's top 10 fears were expressed by at least half of Americans, indicating that overall fear is on the rise and is also more focused on the environment than in previous years." "Americans' Top 10 Fears in 2018 (percentages include those who answered afraid or very afraid):" "1. Corrupt government officials (73.6 percent)2. Pollution of oceans, rivers and lakes (61.6 percent)3. Pollution of drinking water (60.7 percent)4. Not having enough money for the future (57 percent)5. People they love becoming seriously ill (56.5 percent)6. People they love dying (56.4 percent)7. Air pollution (55.1 percent)8. Extinction of plant and animal species (54.1 percent)9. Global warming and climate change (53.2 percent)10. High medical bills (52.9 percent)" "The annual Chapman University Survey of American Fears provides an in-depth examination into the concerns of average Americans, tracking changes and trends over the years. The survey asks about 94 topics ranging from government, health and environmental matters, to disaster preparedness, the paranormal and personal anxieties. " "Two striking changes have emerged since 2016. First, a 13 percent increase of Americans who fear corrupt government officials, which tops the 2018 list with nearly three-quarters (73.6 percent) of Americans reporting being either "afraid" or "very afraid" of corruption. Notably, there were no significant differences in fears by political affiliation. Second, Americans are increasingly worried about the environment. Not a single environmental concern made the top 10 list in 2016 but in 2018 five of the top 10 fears are environmental in nature." "The 2018 fear survey results illustrate a continued shift in the primary concerns of American citizens," said Christopher Bader, Ph.D., professor of sociology at Chapman University. "It is worth noting that the fears regarding corruption and the environment have increased significantly following the election of President Trump in 2016 and all top 10 fears continue to reflect topics often discussed in the media." [end of partial quote] I've got a solution to that problem I first published my AP (Assassination Politics) essay about 23.5 years ago. https://cryptome.org/ap.htm Has anyone claimed, since then, that a problem doesn't exist, with governments? I don't recall that. Has anyone (else) claimed that they have, or even there is, an alternative solution to the problem of corrupt government? I don't recall that, either. Some people have reacted negatively to AP, which I interpret as not LIKING the AP idea. But they do not explain why we should continue to tolerate government at all, or say why there is any other solution. Jim Bell
