"Everything is Broken"

"Once upon a time, a friend of mine accidentally took over thousands of computers. He had found a vulnerability in a piece of software and started playing with it. In the process, he figured out how to get total administration access over a network. "

Desktop-First Mobile Computing

"However the introduction of the PinePhone ( pine64.org/pinephone/) may change all that.

The PinePhone is an open-source computer in a smartphone form factor. The hardware provides all of the resources necessary to support a workflow like the one described above. More importantly, unlike other smartphones, the device is open enough to accept a standard desktop operating system, so using it I’m the way I use my laptop (connecting it to desktop peripherals and treating it like a desktop computer) is completely feasible."

From The Atlantic:

"Bowers didn’t make his anti-Semitic statements on Twitter or Facebook or even Reddit, but rather on a small social network called Gab. It was founded in 2016 as an alternative to Twitter and other large social platforms, and indeed looks and operates similarly to Twitter, allowing users to follow and reply to one another, and to reshare short status updates.

But while Twitter, Facebook, and other mainstream social networks abide by ever-evolving sets of community standards, Gab allows users to say pretty much anything they want. Andrew Torba, the Silicon Valley Trump supporter who created it, said that he wanted to offer an alternative to mainstream social networks, which he and others feel are biased against conservatives."

China and Russia relations are interesting and important. A good novel by Tom Clancy talked about the possibility of Chinese expansion into scarcely occupied Siberia, and it is an interesting hypothesis, what if scenario.

Hypersonic missiles, leave defense shields in the dust. Russia on the lead.

Debt Rattle December 28 2019 | Russia's first hypersonic missile reaches 27x the speed of sound. China is testing 5x. The US? Nothing so far. Not even the claims they can defend vs Russia appear credible.
