Containment Control for a Social Network with State-Dependent Connectivity (.pdf)

Containment Control for a Social Network with State-Dependent Connectivity Zhen Kan, Justin Klotz, Eduardo L. Pasiliao Jr, Warren E. Dixon 1. Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, USA 2. Air Force Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate, Eglin AFB, FL 32542, USA. Abstract: Social interactions influence our thoughts, opinions and actions. In this paper, social interactions are studied within a group of individuals composed of influential social leaders and followers. Each person is assumed to maintain a social state, which can be an emotional state or an opinion. Followers update their social states based on the states of local neighbors, while social leaders maintain a constant desired state. Social interactions are modeled as a general directed graph where each directed edge represents an influence from one person to another. Motivated by the non-local property of fractional-order systems, the social response of individuals in the network are modeled by fractional-order dynamics whose states depend on influences from local neighbors and past experiences. A decentralized influence method is then developed to maintain existing social influence between individuals (e.g., without isolating peers in the group) and to influence the social group to a common desired state (e.g., within a convex hull spanned by social leaders). Mittag-Leffler stability methods are used to prove asymptotic stability of the networked fractional-order system. arxiv.org/pdf/1402.5644.pdf

This is defined in the design document. The software documentation warns: „If your attacker can watch the traffic coming out of your computer, and also the traffic arriving at your chosen destination, he can use statistical analysis to discover that they are part of the same circuit.“ The goal of NSA’s and GCHQ’s internet surveillance is to achieve exactly that. A number of researchers have demonstrated this attack in practice, either by simply counting transmitted packets, by analyzing time windows, or correlation attacks with only a fraction of traffic. All this research is public. The spy agencies followed this research, used it for their own purpose and turned theoretical vulnerabilities into real-world surveillance systems. Very high level of surveillance One and a half years later, the BND warned German federal agencies not to use Tor. The hacker unit „IT operations“ entitled its report: „The anonymity service Tor does not guarantee anonymity on the internet“. The six-page paper was sent to the chancellery, ministries, secret services, the military and police agencies on 2 September 2010. According to the executive summary, Tor is „unsuitable“ for three scenarios: „obfuscating activities on the internet“, „circumventing censorship measures“ and „computer network operations for intelligence services“ – spy agency hacking. The BND assumes „a very high level of surveillance within the network“

Freesociety.com to Form the World's First Libertarian Country... By Purchasing Its Own Sovereignty
by grarpamp 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

https://www.freesociety.com/ http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/freesocietycom-to-form-the-worlds-f… https://twitter.com/freesocietycom The Free Society Foundation, spearheaded by its founder Olivier Janssens and other prominent libertarian and cryptocurrency figures, announced its plans today to form the world's first libertarian country. They are in preliminary talks with governments to purchase sovereignty and autonomy over a piece of land. "When we started contacting governments, interest was much higher than initially anticipated", says Mr. Janssens, who has been working on the project for the past several years. "We have backing of over 100 million USD in private capital and are committed to the mission of realizing the world's first Free Society." Genius in its simplicity by just purchasing sovereignty, it seems this is the first idea that really has a chance of succeeding. In the past, many libertarians have attempted the feat by trying to claim disputed land or by building floating ocean structures. Unfortunately, none of them were successful - either due to push-back from existing governments or being unrealistically complicated. "There are many nations that have a significant national debt or are in crisis. Our aim is to help them resolve that and create an economic powerhouse next to their doorstep as a bonus. It's a win-win for everyone." Mr. Janssens continues. Indeed, if successful, a new Monaco or Dubai will bring a tremendous amount of opportunities to the area, one being massive employment. Roger Ver, one of the co-founders, adds: "I'm incredibly excited to be part of this project that will finally create a society based on voluntary interactions instead of government force." The Free Society Foundation is exploring ways for the public and interested parties to participate. Many prominent names in the libertarian world are joining their team. More will be revealed soon on the website. Free Society Rue du simplon 4 1920 Martigny 1920 Switzerland One of zensystem's DAO's is thinking similarly. Price down, pick up.

Matt Furie using DMCAs to retake Pepe
by Pepe 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Since you fags are discussing copyright. Attached is Matt Furies reaction to the situation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Matt Furie created the cartoon character Pepe the Frog in 2005 as a kind of peaceful stoner animal for his comic "Boys Club." By 2008, the frog had become a meme. In the 2016 election cycle, though, Pepe became something completely different—an ever-meme of the alt-right. The Anti-Defamation League characterizes Pepe as a hate symbol and has catalogued some of the most viciously racist and anti-semitic examples. Now Furie wants his comic frog back. After years of letting it slide, Furie has lawyered up and sent demand letters to several alt-right personalities, including white supremacist Richard Spencer, Mike Cernovich, and the subreddit "The_Donald." Last month, Furie took legal action against a man in Texas who created an Religion of Cuck™ophobic version of Pepe for a children's book. That matter reached a settlement. Now, Furie's lawyers have spoken to Vice about his determination to reclaim ownership of the image and the demand letters they have sent out. "[Furie] was very serious when he said that we wanted to make clear that Pepe was not the property of the alt-right and couldn't be used by the alt-right," Furie lawyer Louis Tompros told Vice. "We've asked them to take [the images] down. That hasn't happened yet, but they're very much on notice. We plan to take action if they don't." The letters demand that the alt-right commentators remove images and videos including Pepe, including one recently created by Cernovich in which he added Pepe into a video of Hillary Clinton reading a passage from her new book. "Mr. Furie is entitled to damages for your infringement," the letter states. "After we have received confirmation that you have ceased infringement, we will contact you to discuss what additional information we need from you to calculate the appropriate amount of damages." Cernovich has taken down the images, but he has also published a blistering response by his lawyer, Marc Randazza, which boasts that Furie "won't see a dime from Mr. Cernovich." The letter says that Furie's letter "wasn't a serious legal threat" and that the image of Pepe qualifies as fair use, because it's "political commentary and satire." "Should you choose to file suit against Mr. Cernovich, we will be delighted to embarrass the fuck out of you—and set up a malpractice claim by your client against you," writes Randazza. archive.is/d2JvB
