Families create the best Stockholm Syndrome.

When Winston Churchill said, the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few, that includes the victims of the state.

What the govt doesnt teach you, the security services will exploit you with.

No knowledge of the Law is no defence of the Law is the sort of thing righteous criminals preach to their victims, like typical extremists.

The British Security Services do attempt to kill British Citizens, don't quite know why anyone would want to come here!

Terry_Roll··on “Harbinger households” consistently buy products that get discontinued (2019)
Actually these 3 are the one's who started to coin the phrase. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1509/jmr.13.0415

This is another attempt to run with the idea with some variation. https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/faculty-research/sites/faculty...

Harbinger Customers is also a phrase coined.

Its out there, its just a question of time before someone picks up the ball and runs with it. You can track idea's snowballing online, like this one.

Research papers like this tend to have more gravity if they are focused at those with money to spend, so this latest twist will certainly get some attention from businesses.

Savvy Political Campaign organisers will also be aware of this development when targeting their efforts for future upcoming US Presidential elections with current legislation in place.

The Surveillance Capitalism that exists for businesses to identify and target individuals can equally be applied to political campaigns, helped along with favourable media coverage from political donors product or service advertising budget to sever the direct link to comply with legislation.

Its not a cynical take on the world, its the nuanced way the world works, something even the press dont like drawing attention to, so you dont ever see any decent investigative journalism now a days.

The world is all bought and paid for, as some would say!

Terry_Roll··on Potato diet community trial
Serotonin in seed shells (think anaphylactic) would trigger an immune system response because its how they have evolved in order to be pooped out by animals, serotonin irritates the digestive system and aids fast passage, ergo the seed is spread further afield.

Fruits could, but its really a good idea to quantify the chemicals in each and their subsequent response, because the phrase "trigger an immune response" is so vague its like trying to quantify legislation.

> I hope we do not forget that it is Russias fault when the food prices in Europe hit new highs in the coming fall

So you dont recognise the deceit with Nato govts as the trigger for Russia?

I dont blame Russia for standing up to Western passive aggression thats played out over decades across popular culture, media and govt policy. Its not like you get the truth from criminals running much of the world directly or indirectly through manipulation, blackmail and other disingenuous means.

There has to be one country which is the Emmanuel Goldstein of the world, its how the simple unthinking masses manage to comprehend world events.

Terry_Roll··on “Harbinger households” consistently buy products that get discontinued (2019)
In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_innovations "Harbinger Households" are called Laggards in scholarly circles.

So to use the word "Harbinger" which for most people will have greater negative connotations by virtue of the common phrase "harbinger of doom" in most English speaking people's lexicon, would suggest an element of psychological profiling is being carried out in plain site on ycombinator, although it can be played down as just a clickbait headline, no different to the techniques used by journalists and editors of "reputable" news outlets.

Either way, its getting even easier to identify the people who are worth manipulating to win elections in a country, rendering the election process not "free and fair process" so easily trumpeted out by Western democracies.

I might just place a bet on Trump winning the next US Presidential election because there are more Republicans owning and running a business than Democrats!

No mention of the fact the immune system doesnt attack starch which is high in potatoes, but the immune system will attack other sugars ingested.
Terry_Roll··on HDMI Firewall
TV's taking a terrestrial signal using a HDMI cable to a set top box which is connected to the internet is just another attack vector. Satellite signals are harder but any SDR can be used on a TV using terrestrial signals.
Terry_Roll··on One-night stands will be illegal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
Why are countries that ban/criminalise/being negative to non heterosexual people using a computer?

After all Alan Turing was supposed to have been gay and his input is all over computers and smart phones!

Now I also hope this is actually designed to cut down on people trafficking and the exploitation of the less fortunate, because there have been some nasty diseases going around and virus hide in parts of the body where the immune system cant go, like the testes, ovaries, eyes and brain.

Terry_Roll··on Laundry symbols make no sense
Now find a washing machine with programs that match the washing symbols, even if its only documented in their manuals.

Its not a hard task building a washing machine or tumble dryer that matches the washing symbols, but it seems to be for the current industry leaders!

Terry_Roll··on A look at search engines with their own indexes (2021)
Google and Bing have got using state psychological warfare on their users with the results they deliver and the adverts that get delivered on various websites including Youtube.

Its a legal form of harassment and intimidation imo, but I think some people already know this because of the big emphasis on mental health being pushed out by the media and various govts.

> Or just allow and trust the readers to make their own conclusions.

Cant do that religions exists where people believe in God without any evidence, and people exist who believe in Govt & democracy, so that says it all really.

Sounds like a Govt's.

Terry_Roll··on Police linked to hacking campaign to frame Indian activists
>the UK police has been accused of infiltrating many environmental activists GCHQ does everybody, and it filters down through Special Branch to the lower levels of policing.

The irony is, you have noone to turn to when you are being done over by the Police and the state in general. The NHS, educational system, every tentacle of the state is all interlinked to the security services, I've had it since primary school because the state can not lose.

And they wonder why individuals get radicalised and massacres occur!

If your parents were Govt employees, I sympathise, but there is a reason why Govt pay is so low, it keeps Govt employees lean and mean!

Terry_Roll··on Secure Messaging Apps and Group Protocols, Part 2
If you can get code to run on a server which can trigger Hertzbleed, beit a virtual server where you have no control over what other people run on their virtual server instance, or you can employ a virtual cpu like the NSO iMessage gif exploit but program virtual gif cpu to do more than whats detailed in the NSO iMessage gif exploit, do private messaging platforms like WhatsApp have much privacy? I know people like evidence including the legal system, most of the time, but stealth weapons have to be captured in order to obtain the evidence.

Terry_Roll··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
Its all intertwined, religion, politics, etc etc. Cults, cliques, gangs, its all just a play on words by specialists in words and the nuanced differences whilst having similar properties. Something to keep us busy if other things dont keep us busy.
Terry_Roll··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
Every entity has one or more cults depending on its size, beit university, military, govt's & companies. You cant get away from them unless you live on the moon!

Trade offs that we have to trust other people to make the right decisions and we only have to look at how people game the system for money, just look at Jeff Bezo for a prime example!

Terry_Roll··on Ask HN: CS grad who barely knows any CS
> So, how can one effectively fill gaps in their CS knowledge?

Its a vast subject, you will have a lifetime of learning on the job, so having a good memory will help because some knowledge you acquired years ago, think of it like a jigsaw piece, will sit in isolation tucked away in your mind until another piece of the jigsaw presents itself and then you can join those two pieces of knowledge together, and eventually you will have built a reasonable idea (think picture for the jigsaw analogy here), of how a computer works, how the OS works, software running on one or more OS'es works, and how it connects to other devices using the internet and other forms of communication like wifi, bluetooth, Infrared, etc etc.
