it's not really worth reading, unless you want to bathe in the ignorance of this person

2018-01-15 20:15:06 UTC  

here's one quote, that I enjoyed, from the very start of the article:
"And while most pundits at that point still considered Trump the second coming of Herman Cain, a circus act rather than a serious candidate, [Bill] Clinton feared Trump’s ability to channel white-working-class rage. “He’s a master brander and he[’s] sensing sort of the emotional landscape of people he’s selling to,” [Bill] Clinton told donors gathered in Atlanta in October 2015."

except that he used the name of a famous entertainer for effect, and then felt the need to explain himself

2018-01-15 20:16:31 UTC  

one can only hope that all analysts who look at "what democrats need to do to win next time" are as inept as this person

`Mark Blyth argues pretty persuasively that Clinton will run again in 2020 (timestamped)`

`He notes her as central in the "Cersei Lannister Problem: no one else can rule Westeros because I've killed them all, so it has to be me." `

god dammit he's pretty clever as well that mark fucker

2018-01-15 22:30:26 UTC  

guess I should listen to that

2018-01-15 22:31:30 UTC  

I'm not sure these people understand computers

2018-01-15 22:32:04 UTC  

that is to say, I'm absolutely positive these people don't understand computers

2018-01-15 22:32:26 UTC  

well theres not 1 technical word in that article

2018-01-15 22:32:31 UTC  

so that should scream something

2018-01-15 22:33:15 UTC  

well when I say "these people" I am referring to the politicians who wrote the regulation/law

2018-01-15 22:33:19 UTC  

regardless of what it says

2018-01-15 22:33:37 UTC  

well lawmakers will never know the reality of things

2018-01-15 22:33:55 UTC  

disconnected to everything

2018-01-15 22:33:56 UTC  

there's no way to enforce this regulation without actually breaking all encryption for everyone, forever

2018-01-15 22:34:11 UTC  

and you need to disconnect your internet from the rest of the world, and pass everything through a proxy

2018-01-15 22:34:22 UTC  

literally implementing man-in-the-middle on a government level

2018-01-15 22:34:27 UTC  

that's going to be fun

2018-01-15 22:34:35 UTC  

well that wouldnt work out on a technical side

2018-01-15 22:34:41 UTC  

yes it does

2018-01-15 22:34:47 UTC  

well yeah, china

2018-01-15 22:34:51 UTC  

several other nations

2018-01-15 22:34:53 UTC  

it's just incredibly difficult and lots of work, and crazy as fuck

2018-01-15 22:35:15 UTC  

not to mention incompatible with a free democratic constitution, I'd argue

2018-01-15 22:35:25 UTC  

these people have no fucking idea what they're doing

2018-01-15 22:35:33 UTC  

but even then, to implement that youd compromise other factors

2018-01-15 22:35:41 UTC  

"criminals are using encryption, we need to be able to break _their_ encryption but noone elses"

2018-01-15 22:35:49 UTC  

ye no shit dude

2018-01-15 22:35:53 UTC  

[11:33 PM] folk: there's no way to enforce this regulation without actually breaking all encryption for everyone, forever

2018-01-15 22:35:54 UTC  

like the ability for anyone to decrypt your credit card info with no abiity to track down

2018-01-15 22:36:07 UTC  

which would fuck the economy entirely

2018-01-15 22:36:12 UTC  

yes

2018-01-15 22:36:19 UTC  

and directly affect the stock trading market

2018-01-15 22:36:24 UTC  

all their traffic is encrypted

2018-01-15 22:36:38 UTC  

>Governments knowing nothing
Imagine my shock

2018-01-15 22:36:43 UTC  

rofl

2018-01-15 22:36:47 UTC  

hehehe

2018-01-15 22:36:58 UTC  

well, it's not so long ago that the US FBI chief was trying to sell the same lamb

2018-01-15 22:37:19 UTC  

i didnt think the AUD was doing that great?
