Isis does us a favor

Doctor hacked to death by motorcyle-riding militants in ISIS-claimed attack: Police

 The homeopathic doctor, Mir Sanaur Rahman, 55, was killed on the spot,

 

 And ISIS finally does us a favor. 

Do you know how many Homeopathic Quacks are out there demanding people stop taking real medicine and start taking their fake stuff have your credit card ready oops so sad you died I have a thousand well practiced excuses as to why it's not my fault ?


Homeopathy is legalized murder, and I have no doubt this was more about unhappy customers than terrorism. 


Looks good on those frauds.

OK Google

Article = None ,personal experience.

Girlfriend got a new phone, a moto - e from motorola. It had OK google on it .
Which takes data usage.

Why ? Because it's sending everything you say across the internet to google servers , for voice recognition purposes.

And the us government can now remote activate it and use your own phone to spy on you.

Well , not her. she has no data plan, I think. (They might force the provider to provide "free data" and eat the cost for them to spy on you)

I am seriously considering going back to a plain flip phone.

They spy on everyone in the world, every google search , every facebook post, and now they're listening in on you via you're own phone.  NSA has even been caught putting an illegal (or at least user unwanted) app on phones that only pretends to turn the phone off, so you think it's off and it's still spying on you.

This is now getting insane.

Komagata Maru apology: Ship's story represents 'dark chapter' of Canada's past

Komagata Maru apology: Ship's story represents 'dark chapter' of Canada's past



I am so sick of the Liberals pandering to the immigrants because they know people who've been in the country a while smarten up and know not to vote for their corrupt regime. (this includes "former" immigrants who've been around a while)


All nations have the right to control their borders, to decide who gets in and who doesn't. This is  a democracy and the population at the time enthusiastically voted to ban immigrants. This isn't any kind of Dark Chapter in Canadian history. This is just democracy in action. People had an opinion , the majority held it , it was acted on.


What do you think would have happened if a hundred years ago they would avoid this "Dark Chapter" by welcoming all Asian's from everywhere ? We would have been buried in immigrants, just like the European Union is right now from the Syrian War.


It is probably one of the most two faced things a politican can do , apologize and then say "but we wouldn't have done anything differently if it were us".

2016 Census Reminder : Complete it today , it's the Law !

Article = None , personal Experience.

Ok. I filled out the census, reluctantly, online. Luckily it was short.
And I got mailed a nice big thick envelope with a threatening note on it. I'm getting sick of this Justin Trudeau crap of threatening everyone if they don't pony up their personal information so he can sell it to his business partners and they can spam the hell out of you with it.

So I'm gonna fill out this census in a perfectly truthful , though somewhat hostile , way. And tell you all about it.

:)

On the envelope we see the afore mentioned threat. :  Complete it today , it's the Law !

Given the vagrencies of Canada Post , I doubt they can tell what day you got it , or even whether or not it got lost in the mail.

Opening the envelope we see ...
A postage paid return envelope. A census form (english) another census form (french) , and a letter from "Statistics Canada" (no name given) .

Oh , there is a name at the bottom, Wayne R. Smith, Cheif Statistician of Canada.
And another threat.
Important Note : If you refuse to complete a census questionaire this information may be documented and refered to The Public Prosecution Service of Canada for further action. 

The boy wonder Justin is definately not getting my vote next election.

On the other hand it says if you already filled out the census we have their thanks.  And the questions arn't any different than the ones I filled out online. And they still think I might have six people living with me in this tiny little bachelor pad. ha ha.

Guess I get to toss it.

After I check out the return envelope.
Postal Code : PO box 99998 , K1A 9Z8

Dang , it's the OMPP (Ottawa Mail Processing Plant, the main mail depot in ottawa) I was hoping it was Justin Trudeau's election district. That would have made a nice controversy. Oh well ,better luck next time.

One last check of the fine print before I toss it ....

Bingo !   "Statistics Canada will obtain your income information from personal income tax and benefit records"  And they reserve the right to use the information for "Other statistical and research purposes" meaning ANYTHING THEY FEEL LIKE !!!

They just gave themselves the right to sell your income tax and benifit (health information) data to anyone in the world they feel like. Since the previous census mentioned "business partners" (waaaay down deep in the small print) yeah , your income tax info and health info just became for sale to anyone with two nickles to rub together.



Ontario’s Green Energy Fiasco — A Cautionary Tale For The United States

In 2002, when coal provided about 25 percent of our electricity, Ontario had the lowest electricity prices in Canada. We were the nation’s powerhouse with hundreds of thousands of well paid, manufacturing jobs.


Probably the most annoying part of this article is that a) it's marked as opinion, and b) comments are disabled. So we can't point out the error in this guys reasoning. We are left to simply accept his opinion by divine fiat, because apparently he's a reporter and he knows everything , and if we have a different opinion we need to shut up and not question  him. 
 
 
The decline in Manufacturing is probably more dependent on 3D printers, which are coming into play (albeit 20 000$ for  a printer isn't cheap , but it's cheaper than a single worker for a year at a manufacturing plant) . 

We're not allowed to point this out. 
Shutting down the coal fire plants is presented as an evil thing. He goes on to claim wind turbines are causing many health problems (a wind mill is making you sick ? Give me a break ! ) 

And then demand that climate change supporters prove that climate change is a real thing , as if it wasn't obvious to everyone on the planet there's only so much fossil fuels and they're running out. 

"Official" reporters seem to think they're god and can sprout any nonsense these days, and they don't want to hear different from anyone. 

That's fairly offensive , in the days of online forums. Sheesh , I wish blogspot would allow a short forum for every post I make so I could get feed back. Though I suspect the user comments count as that, in a limited fashion.

Computer problem temporarily shuts Loblaw-owned stores

 

 Mark Boudreau, director of corporate affairs for Atlantic Superstore, told CBC News that all computer systems with Superstores and Dominions are backed up overnight, but somehow during that backup a corrupt file was downloaded

 

 Hey dude. I have this rad idea. 

Lets totally computerize our cash registers , put them online , and hope they don't get hacked by the russians the chinese, or anyone else looking to shut us down and extort money before they let us back up again. 


Because being off line, that's so yesterday. 

Paying cyber-ransom demands today ...thats where it's at dude. 

Get online or be left behind . Have your bit coin account ready.

Microsoft exec: 'AI is the most important technology that anybody on the planet is working on today'

 http://www.businessinsider.com.au/microsoft-exec-ai-is-the-most-important-technology-that-anybody-on-the-planet-is-working-on-today-2016-5

 Dave Coplin, chief envisioning officer at Microsoft UK, told an audience of business leaders at an AI conference that AI is “the most important technology that anybody on the planet is working on today.”

 

 I think he probably forgot to add "And we own the copyright on it , so pay up ! " 


But Coplin argues that societies need to start paying more attention to who is developing AI as they can build it to behave how they want it to, which may not always be a good thing. “We’ve got to start to make some decisions about whether the right people are making these algorithms,” he said. “What biases will be inferred by those people, by those companies? These are things we don’t know about. This is new. We talk about unchartered territory.”

This is what I wanted to get into . 
This , and Ferguson Missouri.

What if good old James Knowles III (mayor of Ferguson) got a hold of all that information , which by the way is for sale to anyone with two nickles to rub together , and then got an AI to run analysis on it ? 

What if he decided "Those blacks aren't going to vote for me anyways, lets throw them all in jail ! Because if you've been in jail , you're a felon , and felons don't get to vote ! Make the jails dark ! "

What if he had a profile on every person in his town. Blacks, Whites, Spanish , Mexican , the works. 

What if he could herd all the people who weren't going to vote for him into one place, say all the blacks in a particular part of town , and order the cops just to ticket them into the ground , charge ridiculous rates of interest on those tickets ,and throw every black who couldn't pay into jail. Thus no one could see what was happening to them, AND they couldn't vote him out of office. 

What if they held an election , and he won, and he publically stated "Huh ! Only 30% of the blacks voted against me. I must be doing my job right. " When really it was more like only 30% of the blacks were permitted to vote ? 

What if ...

Hey ! 
I see what you're doing here ! None of these things are actually What If's ! They all actually happened ! 
Yeah , now you see the problem I have with people knowing everything there is to know about you.
