Contact tracking

mardi 19 mai 2020 à 02:00

Apple and Google have developed a supposedly anonymous contact-tracking method which will be part of iOS and Android. That, in itself, is not wrong in principle. However, the implementation will be a nonfree program, and it will depend on running a nonfree operating system, in a device whose hardware reports people's movements and can listen to their conversations all the time.

This article describes flaws of this particular system.

Can't prove it

mardi 19 mai 2020 à 02:00

The "Justice Department" claims that it can't prove Michael Flynn gave false testimony — the fact that he said so twice is not enough proof to convict a friend of the corrupter.

It is interesting that, a year ago, the corrupter said that it was. Today he says it wasn't. A year ago, his campaign of contempt for truth was less advanced than it is now.

HEROES Act and plutocratists

mardi 19 mai 2020 à 02:00

Plutocratist Democrats joined Republicans to pass the "HEROES" Act, which offers an insufficient amount of urgently needed aid for poor Americans as an excuse for another big handout to the rich.

In effect, plutocratists are using poor Americans as pawns, keeping them right on the edge of destitution, and saving them at the last minute so that their next big handout to the rich can't be blocked.

Rep. Jayapal voted against this law.

I am a billionaire so I can break laws

Elon Musk reopened the Tesla factory and compelled workers to return to it, daring the county to arrest him.

In effect, he is saying, "I'm a billionaire so I can break laws."

The state of California should pass a law that workers can get unemployment compensation if they stay home from an illegally-open business.

Vaccination campaign without vaccine

mardi 19 mai 2020 à 02:00

The bullshitter set a target of vaccine for hundreds of millions of people by January, whether the vaccine is ready or not.

January is not long after the election. Perhaps he intends this plan to be believed just long enough to get people to vote for him. If in January there is no vaccine, he just won't mention it any more.
