USA has been learning what happens to other nations at their own hands
by Karl 24 Apr '21

24 Apr '21

The behavioral control software that was turned on the nation over the past decade, was previously used to disrupt dissidents across the globe. One particular software was developed by a team of researchers near Cambridge University and a man named Christopher Wiley, based on current and new work in machine learning. That effort has ended, but many more political control organisations are out there, ready to work for the highest bidder. My life is destroyed forever, with nobody to talk to to make things right. The things I have experienced, hav been happening to, for example, the people of Africa, for many decades.

Re: The Verge: Elon Musk says Starlink internet service will be ?fully mobile? in 2021

Iridium is handheld, the Starlink Dishy is about 3 feet in diameter and requires solid mounting and stabilization. Starlink could absolutely compete with INMARSAT L band domes on boats and ships... but already a lot of that traffic goes via C/Ku/Ka geosat (which Starlink clearly could very effectively compete with if there is enough available bandwidth on the Starlink system). The lower latency would be an enormous improvement for that market. And folks wandering around in RV's can also clearly use the Starlink platform (would be lots better than other alternatives in many places). I imagine Starlink could compete in the DSNG market too... I'm pretty sure the incentive exists to build a Starlink terminal that can be installed on aircraft, there is already a lot of this sort of stuff in existence... and meeting the RF specs from the top of a commercial or private jet seems doable to me... considering that lots of folks are already uplinking to geosats from aircraft via phased arrays at 14 Ghz.. and transmitting to satellites from aircraft has been around a long time, including situations where the beam aim and sidelobes are critical. Starlink depends on being able to aim a beam from a phased array accurately at a specific spot in the sky (and with low enough sidelobes so not to cause problems for geo birds in the Clarke belt snd other leo birds at other angles). This is not a natural for really small and handheld or hand carried applications... but Musk does have some real talent working for him. -- Dave Emery N1PRE/AE, die(a)dieconsulting.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass 02493 "An empty zombie mind with a forlorn barely readable weatherbeaten 'For Rent' sign still vainly flapping outside on the weed encrusted pole - in celebration of what could have been, but wasn't and is not to be now either."

Autonomy and Code
by Karl 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

You can tell that people like me and grarpamp are in serious trouble, because we are complaining about problems instead of doing work together to solve them. That is not how a software developer, or an anarchist, ever behaves. Communication is crucial: but spending time primarily arguing gets very little done. No working community member waits, of their own free will, for others to solve their problems, unless they are not free to do so themselves. Autonomy and code. [[spam] like usual; I'm in a dissociated state posting this, and it's very hard to judge the content.]

You don't need a grand conference for to developing AI, which will only be abused and levered against you and freedom, to tell you've been manipulated, lied to, and Fake News'd since birth, by your very own largely now leftist "democracies", just turn on any TV for 5 minutes for proof... provided you still have any non brainwashed freethought cells left in your brains to spot the program... it's quite obvious what's going on... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZggCipbiHwE Fake News Then turn it off, shut it all down, and don't replace it. Go explore something different, Libertarian, Voluntary, Peace Love Anarchy... put those videos on your TV for a few months instead, and instead of trying to force others to do your bidding upon threat of death.

Hal Finney commemoration day, May 4, his 65th birthday
by Stefan Claas 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

Hi all, In case here are still some old Cypherpunks among the community, it would be nice if you have something to share, from the old days back then. I like to start. In the mid nineties I mailed Hal about his bignum software he has written in Java. At that time one of his Cypherpunk Remailers ran under the email address @shell.portal.com. Java is nowadays owned by Oracle and if you enter portal.com in your Web Browser it redirects to Oracle. :-) opentimestamps.org runs one server named finney. :-) The Nym Team [1], big fans of Hal named their new testnet Finney and their test tokens HAL. :-) [1] https://nymtech.net Regards Stefan
