"We meet two scam victims, one in the US and the other in China, who lost millions of dollars and had their lives turned upside down by the pig butchering romance scam. And gain exclusive access to a former scam boss, whose company stole millions of dollars over the years from victims using a manual he designed."
"the document proposes that new laws shift liability to software makers that fail to take reasonable precautions to secure their products and services. The bills would be drafted in coordination between Congress and the private sector and include “an adaptable safe harbor framework” to protect companies that “securely develop and maintain their software products and services.”"

"One reason that’s the case: the Motion Picture Production Code, aka the Hays Code. The limitations at the time included a ban on depicting interracial relationships.
“During this period of time, if she’d been openly Asian, she wouldn’t have been allowed to be in a lead role”"
Philly: A vote in May for Allan Domb is a vote for tasty mac-and-cheese!
"In the short term, Domb said it's about getting the violence in control. In the long term, education is at the center of his approach to improving Philadelphia’s situation, saying crime is the “symptom” of other issues."

"Sandra Lajoie learned about the strength and resilience of Black women at a very young age. After an unfortunate incident left her blind in one eye, she worked twice as hard to overcome the stigmas created against her. Years later, Lajoie is the Vice President of Communications at NBCUniversal: NBC and Bravo by day, working on her memoir by night and inspiring the rest of the world 24/7."

"Indeed, research suggests that women can experience backlash when they negotiate too aggressively. While it's acceptable for men to ask for high salaries in an aggressive manner, it's perceived as unfeminine for women."
Again, don't use Chinese hardware for sensitive projects like monitoring your home. The cost savings is not worth this!
"A video-enabled smart intercom made by Chinese company Akuvox has major security vulnerabilities that allow audio and video spying, and the company has so far been unresponsive to the discoveries."

"Police were investigating his neighbor. A judge gave officers access to all his security-camera footage, including inside his home."
"Vishing attacks have been on the rise as a result, with 69% of companies experiencing them in 2021, up from 54% in 2020. These attacks often take the form of job or tech support scams and can be incredibly convincing. In August 2020, the FBI along with the CISA issued a warning regarding remote users being targeted by attackers spoofing organizations' business numbers and impersonating the IT service desk."

""Their main point is to collapse society so they can rebuild for the white man," she says."
I hate that anyone even has to address this.
"In 1989, James Baldwin decried “What is it you wanted me to reconcile myself to? I was born here, almost 60 years ago. I’m not going to live another 60 years. You always told me ‘It takes time.’ It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’, and my sisters’ time. How much time do you want for your progress?”"

How would you vote in the 2023 Mayoral Democratic Primary if Philadelphia had Ranked Choice Voting? (1 winners, 50% to win)
"‘Slavery was wrong’ and 5 other things some educators won’t teach anymore
To mollify parents and obey new state laws, teachers are cutting all sorts of lessons"
"Excerpts from Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.” Passages from Christopher Columbus’s journal describing his brutal treatment of Indigenous peoples. A data set on the New York Police Department’s use of force, analyzed by race.
These are among the items teachers have nixed from their lesson plans this school year and last, as they face pressure from parents worried about political indoctrination and administrators wary of controversy, as well as a spate of new state laws restricting education on race, gender and LGBTQ issues."
This is very sad. What do you do to prevent this?
