That's the thing, almost nobody is providing good journalism
"Value Added" concept comes back into play, dang it.
My prime sources now are Tim and Reuters because they're the most on the ball and admit fault. Everything else comes with 40 or so caveats
I would gladly pay per month for a full paper that didn't focus on pushing an agenda or baiting eyes to ads
IE one that isn't a glorified blog or tabloid
wew
one thing I thought about is building a community driven app... that lets you make wiki-style edits to live news sites, and you can select whether its "slant/spin/false(citations needed)" etc... so anyone else with the app can see a news site in normal mode and switch to "non-partisan" mode
newsvoice does that
sorry... not app... extension ....
they sponsored my channel
@YuXiang i just retweeted that thanks for sharing
in fairness against musk... even when he did tweet about the share buying and going private I thought that was a bit shady
many people have gone to jail for less
no problemo
what interesting though... is that if it was a few years ago.. maybe just before the election... if trump stock was at say 200 and he said "we might go private and buy all the stock at 300" (which would immediately boost all his stock) ... he would be finished
yeah that was shady. manipulating stock market?
is it on the level of insider trading?
we do seem to be living in an era where people are treated very differently
yeah, he also said all this about buying stock at 420 to all his employees first...
In a fair world, the "Lords" are held to the same standard as the peasants, in "Just" World the "Lords" are held to a higher standard than the "Peasants"
theres a big difference between
"we are thinking about taking the company private"
and
"we are thinking about taking the company private and, we are going to buy at much more than its currently worth, so if you all buy my stock right now you'll be super rich"
did you guys see the shit on the NSA obtaining encrypted info from Al Jazeera?
what kinda info?
like sources?
they cracked the vpn
hope they manage to keep sources and whistleblowers safe
(Joke) They have already been sent to Gitmo
hmm syrian caliphate rebels now have improvised drones that can fly over 200km
...“Exploiting VPNs makes use of some of the newest state-of-the-art techniques,” the article stated, “and because of this, the exploitation details are held closely and generally not available to field sites.”... fuck you NSA
We have information that allows us to spy on people, other governments probably also have it, but we're not going to tell you how to fix it because it helps us.
@wacka You can buy thoses at model and hobby shops in the US.
I dunno if you can get them this big... and ones that will stay up for 4hrs
so.. basically vpns are useless now?
They have ones that are 1/4 scale for B-29s
Enjoy
interesting - losing some transparency to maybe make it slightly easier to do business... hrmmm
