Arab members of Israel's Parliament praised Corbyn for refusing to define criticism of Israel as "antisemitism". They praised his opposition to all forms of racism, antisemitism included.

"Smart city" projects

mardi 4 septembre 2018 à 02:00

A classic example of how "smart city" projects claim to protect privacy while ignoring the danger of massive surveillance.

This mentions that someone is "accountable" for the use of the data the snoop city collects — which gives no reason to think the rules seriously protect our privacy — but shows no attempt to protect against a massive increase in tracking and collection of personal data.

Brain damage suffered by US diplomats

mardi 4 septembre 2018 à 02:00

The brain damage suffered by some US diplomats in Cuba and China might have been caused by "microwave weapons".

Such weapons may be possible, but I can't see any sensible reason why Cuba and China would want to use such weapons against US diplomats.

If microwaves were involved, was it necessarily an intentional attack using a weapon? Maybe the microwaves were emitted by something else, such as a security device or spy device set up by the US in the embassy, and the effect on people's brains was an unexpected side effect.
