[OT] [LOL] Fwd: Church of Satan distances itself from Trump orb photo

https://twitter.com/ChurchofSatan/status/866453928535236608 Lauren (PFIR) and the Church of Satan made me laugh a lot, hahaha!! ;D ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: PFIR (People For Internet Responsibility) Announcement List Church of Satan distances itself from Trump orb photo http://www.chron.com/news/politics/article/Church-of-Satan-distances-itself… Social media is having fun with Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia as the President participated in the opening of the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology. At the gala, Saudi Arabian King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Trump put their hands on a glowing globe. They kept their hand on the bright orb for about a minute and the meme world rejoiced. Even the Church of Satan went in on the 'Twitter-fun,' wanting everyone to know that the "orb" photo isn't a ritual of theirs or has anything to do with their organization. Just in case you were wondering.

Biological Collapse

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/05/where-have-all-insects-gone Scientists have tracked alarming declines in domesticated honey bees, monarch butterflies, and lightning bugs. But few have paid attention to the moths, hover flies, beetles, and countless other insects that buzz and flitter through the warm months. "We have a pretty good track record of ignoring most noncharismatic species," which most insects are, says Joe Nocera, an ecologist at the University of New Brunswick in Canada. [...] A new set of long-term data is coming to light, this time from a dedicated group of mostly amateur entomologists who have tracked insect abundance at more than 100 nature reserves in western Europe since the 1980s. Over that time the group, the Krefeld Entomological Society, has seen the yearly insect catches fluctuate, as expected. But in 2013 they spotted something alarming. When they returned to one of their earliest trapping sites from 1989, the total mass of their catch had fallen by nearly 80%. Perhaps it was a particularly bad year, they thought, so they set up the traps again in 2014. The numbers were just as low. Through more direct comparisons, the group -- which had preserved thousands of samples over 3 decades -- found dramatic declines across more than a dozen other sites. Such losses reverberate up the food chain. "If you're an insect-eating bird living in that area, four-fifths of your food is gone in the last quarter-century, which is staggering," says Dave Goulson, an ecologist at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom, who is working with the Krefeld group to analyze and publish some of the data. "One almost hopes that it's not representative -- that it's some strange artifact." https://phys.org/news/2017-05-seas-coastal.html https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-01362-7

A functional darknet "torrent" system would have at least just one "tracker"... the darknet internal DHT itself. You'd publish the InfoHash to whatever darknet indexes you like. In this case, the "infohash" is 33fc6b8baa0d74e0c0c96d33a29d11dbbce9edc1 and the "index" for at least this message is the cpunks list, while someone might "seed" it on I2P.... I2PSnark, I2PRufus, I2P-Transmission... which utilize certain backend "trackers" mechanisms not necessarily all distributed yet. But there still desperately needs to be a distributed storage layer that long term automagically backs up the explicit "seeders" which tend to be volatile. At which point the original "OP seeder's" best role is then to just inserting into the storage layer and walking away. "Elective non OP seeders of specific torrent sets" such as with all torrents in Vuze / Transmission seed list, needs to transition to offering darknet storage blocks for all insertions that may happen.

China hacks US CIA, Kills 20 Informants

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/20/world/asia/china-cia-spies-espionage.html Both the CIA and the FBI declined to comment on reports saying the Chinese government killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA sources from 2010 to 2012 and dismantled the agency's spying operations in the country. It is described as one of the worst intelligence breaches in decades, current and former American officials told the New York Times. Investigators were uncertain whether the breach was a result of a double agent within the CIA who had betrayed the U.S. or whether the Chinese had hacked the communications system used by the agency to be in contact with foreign sources. The Times reported Saturday citing former American officials from the final weeks of 2010 till the end of 2012, the Chinese killed up to 20 CIA sources.
