they sponsored my channel

@YuXiang i just retweeted that thanks for sharing

2018-08-17 16:12:27 UTC  

in fairness against musk... even when he did tweet about the share buying and going private I thought that was a bit shady

2018-08-17 16:12:35 UTC  

many people have gone to jail for less

2018-08-17 16:13:48 UTC  

no problemo

2018-08-17 16:14:32 UTC  

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

2018-08-17 16:14:32 UTC  

yeah that was shady. manipulating stock market?

2018-08-17 16:14:59 UTC  

is it on the level of insider trading?

2018-08-17 16:15:10 UTC  

we do seem to be living in an era where people are treated very differently

2018-08-17 16:15:40 UTC  

yeah, he also said all this about buying stock at 420 to all his employees first...

2018-08-17 16:16:58 UTC  

it would be a hell of a lot less shady if he just omitted the price

2018-08-17 16:17:23 UTC  

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"

2018-08-17 16:19:20 UTC  

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"

2018-08-17 16:20:07 UTC  

did you guys see the shit on the NSA obtaining encrypted info from Al Jazeera?

2018-08-17 16:20:38 UTC  

what kinda info?

2018-08-17 16:20:44 UTC  

like sources?

2018-08-17 16:22:16 UTC  

they cracked the vpn

2018-08-17 16:23:05 UTC  

hope they manage to keep sources and whistleblowers safe

2018-08-17 16:23:45 UTC  

(Joke) They have already been sent to Gitmo

2018-08-17 16:25:01 UTC  

hmm syrian caliphate rebels now have improvised drones that can fly over 200km

2018-08-17 16:25:18 UTC  

...“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

2018-08-17 16:25:57 UTC  

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.

2018-08-17 16:26:06 UTC  

@wacka You can buy thoses at model and hobby shops in the US.

2018-08-17 16:26:44 UTC  

I dunno if you can get them this big... and ones that will stay up for 4hrs

2018-08-17 16:29:14 UTC  

so.. basically vpns are useless now?

2018-08-17 16:31:07 UTC  

They have ones that are 1/4 scale for B-29s

2018-08-17 16:31:16 UTC  

Enjoy

2018-08-17 16:33:21 UTC

hooking back into the tech conversation earlier today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAFtra9zvqM

"Asked the SEC to study" isn't actually changing anything. The SEC will likely take 2-3 years to study this and then say "it's not a good idea".

2018-08-17 18:25:21 UTC  

@YuXiang If you're not a nation state, you should assume the OpSec options you have are pretty futile.

2018-08-17 18:26:08 UTC  

As far as the NSA, CIA, Mossad, etc go.

2018-08-17 18:38:20 UTC  

Most Nation States, should assume their OPSEC are compromised at all ends

2018-08-17 19:31:18 UTC  

i dont see how VPNs can be useless..

2018-08-17 19:31:29 UTC  

they gotta have a key to understand the data

2018-08-17 19:31:54 UTC  

maybe they found a way to link which server is sending data to which computer, but still cant understand whats in it
