at first I was disturbed by the title but upon arriving at that page I panicked....

I may be a financially illiterate person....fuck Pokerstars and their $500 spin & gos.

I would've never seen this without having a comprehensive look at all my online purchases....I didn't realize how reckless I was with money....damn it

> I have a Raspberry Pi right now in my hands fron rentyouraccont.com, i have it running diagnostics on an Air-Gapped pc. This thing is wild. Every second it tries to connect to bot-net programs. It not only buys ads on facebook (which btw i cannot find code that it actually does this) but it is creating links to malware ridden embeds. It is part of a Botnet, i can say for sure. Every second it tries to establish a connection to the botnet, its like a bee thats lost its colony. Register for one and put it on an air-gap, you wills see excatly what im talking about. It records EVERY KEYSTROKE sent of the network, even SSL connection.

so this was a linked comment from a thread 3 years ago....

browsercoin··on SEC Sues Musk and Seeks Ban for His Tweets on Go-Private Deal
I'm going to have to correct you on the solar part, Solar City is a dud. I was listening to a podcast and it was said that Solar City's acquisition would be Tesla's undoing. I think that's Musk's biggest concern, not so much the $420 tweet but the fact that scrutiny directed at the Solar City acquisition that will land Musk in serious trouble.

https://twitter.com/qtrresearch/status/1024254098068176896

Allegedly, ex-Solar Cities are saying they were told to fake sales. Quoth the Raven podcast first brought it to attention but now that the SEC investigation is starting, it will be a matter of time before Musk is under the gun, this time with serious jail time, if the allegations hold true.

browsercoin··on SEC Sues Musk and Seeks Ban for His Tweets on Go-Private Deal
I'm perplexed how Musk could act without thinking of the consequences? Now I fear that he will be banned from SpaceX as well, when you are convicted of fraud by SEC, it will impact your duties at other companies.

It takes decades to build a reputation but it can be destroyed overnight with a single tweet.

It would be easier to take this article seriously if:

1) The author didn’t misspell the names of the people he’s talking about. It’s George Filer. (“Filir”? Really?) Also, Ed Snowden, not “Snowdon.”

2) The author didn’t denigrate witnesses of significant stature who would be trusted as impeccable sources if they offered opinions on something other than UFOs (multiple NASA astronauts, highly placed intelligence officials, former heads of state, NATO commanders…you know, people who just might possibly know a tad more about the subject than the author)

3) The author knew the full history Carl Sagan, who concluded in his seminal book with the Russian scientist Shklovskii that Earth is likely to have been visited by space faring civilizations at least “every 10,000 years.” And this was decades before we knew earthlike planets pervade the universe.

Then again, nobody would come to skeptic.com expecting anything but blind skepticism toward subjects that are already ruled off-limits by professional pseudoskeptics like Michael Shermer.

browsercoin··on Introducing Oculus Quest, Our First 6DOF All-In-One VR System
It's still weird to carry around an iPad, my point being the bar will be much higher for VR if it wants to become mainstream and while it will win over gamers or other dedicated users, becoming a widespread VR everyday consumer electronic is a much further away
browsercoin··on Introducing Oculus Quest, Our First 6DOF All-In-One VR System
What I think will be an iPhone moment for VR is literally when we can drop our phones in a VR goggle that is socially acceptable.

I mean we convinced people that listening to music by sticking a speaker in their ear canals is healthy and safe. Why can't we do this for our eyes? The "Samsung Galaxy" moment will be when they start shipping disposable contact lenses with AR functionalities....but this requires a cross industry expertise and highly proprietary nanotech which Pentagon needs to fully test out before approving it for consumer usage, as with many of our major technological innovations owing to the military-defense complex.

browsercoin··on Apollo 11 and Other Screw-Ups
no not Buzz but he certainly did do a little more than hint there's something going on but he can't say it for obvious reasons.

If you look at NASA streams they 'randomly' experience technical issues but it's widely observed that this typically happens when a UFO is detected.

there's so much we don't know and are not being told but what is clear is this-extra terrestrials possess technology that far exceeds our own and possibly this dimension, and this scares the shit out of superpowers.

It's supported by the fact that there is so much fake UFO with very real ones (ex. US Navy f-18 video) so you can't claim what is real and what isn't.

Also this happened to USSR with their trip to the Phobos moon when the satellite all of sudden disappeared and there's captured photos showing what appears to be cylindrical objects. We can't send satellites there because they keep disappearing.

The real theory as to why we haven't been back on the moon is because the extra terrestrials that are supposedly mining on the moon will not allow weaponization of space. I know this is shocking but it's the most logical conclusion following the various "technical difficulties" during the live coverage of the moon landing.

20 years ago nobody listened to the theory that the government is snooping on everyone because it was too out there.

We have multiple witness accounts from credible backgrounds being demonized and outcasted as mentally ill.

This is the greatest trick they pull. I mean look around, what has changed after Snowden? Absolutely nothing because there's fuck all we can do about it when everybody is focused on the carrot on the end of the stick.

browsercoin··on Apollo 11 and Other Screw-Ups
The most curious screw ups to me are the badly photoshopped images to get rid of UFO activity. Just look at the testimony by former NASA workers who independently heard the full transcript regarding Apollo team's sightings of extra terrestrial vehicles monitoring them.
browsercoin··on Impact of WWII bombing raids felt at edge of space
ah, this explains how the alleged extra terrestrials that shut down those nuclear ICBMs on a US airforce base. If the tremors can be felt then a nuclear blast would've surely caught the attention of E.T.
browsercoin··on Anatomy of a Killing
I disagree that "deepfakes" will be unverifiable. There is very robust forensic framework for analyzing videos for authenticity, and it often relies not just on the visual component but all the other vectors that open up as a result-EM waves being generated, audio analysis, etc. A deepfake that passes this analytical function would imply that we will not be seeing advancements in digital forensics due to AI, which does not make sense because there is no reason not to update forensic processes to keep up with changing technology.
browsercoin··on Volkswagen – detects when your tests are run in a CI server, and makes them pass
Unfortunately, whether they profited or not won't make a difference. Just from the individual HN comments alone, there is enough to suggest that the title easily creates the notion that it is Volkswagen that has authorized this github. In fact, until I spent more time reading the comments and the github repo page, did I realize it was not actually Volkswagen but an individual.

Basically, if you publish on a platform that is being used by other large corporate brands, you should more or less expect zero legal protection from the platform as ToS is not a legally binding contract.

so I wasn't the only one who thought this and grew concerned for the author-a legal battle with a giant corporation can ruin you financially I really hope he/she took good defensive measures.

browsercoin··on Nerve implant 'restores consciousness' to man in vegetative state (2017)
OP intentionally left out the context to discount this study and the team intentionally did not disclose exactly because of deniers like OP that will use the lung infection as a crutch for their main argument: any effort on vegetative state rehabilitation is bad.

browsercoin··on Former Google chief predicts the Internet will split by 2028
This is assuming that the communist party of china will be able to maintain their grip.

I'd say it's far more likely to see China split up much like the old USSR did by 2028. They are even making the exact same mistakes like building roads and infrastructure in central asia.

If you've been following China for a while, you will see how nervous the leadership is, and like Putin, opted for "military achievements" to rally troops, and now facing a recession born out of the US-China trade war and all the social revolt and ethnic separatism oppressed for so long will explode.

Information is like entropy. It can't be contained. China's internet only works because they are willing to kill people over tweets and harvest their organs. You can't keep this up.
