Oh yea is that what the report claims? Is that what it claims? Is it a new report? Is that what a new report claims?

Bitcoin still needs to be able to scale if we want to see any real adoption of it whatsoever. "Muh store of value", well it's not gonna work like that.
The Lightning Network is a great solution when applied in a decentralized setup.

A great example is Stakenet (XSN) - Who actually helped the LTC team with Lightning integration on the LTC mainnet, (they formed a partnership).

Stakenet uses it's masternodes as payment processors between users of their dApps. One of these dApps is their Lightning Network DEX and Multi Currency Wallet, which is one handy dApp for anyone to use, even if you don't hold XSN at all.
This DEX can communicate with centralized exchanges, such as Binance, Bittrex etc, meaning you can arbitrage between exchanges instantly.

Great so gold backed crypto it is. DigiX or MintX

Lancet just said 3 authors say they cannot verify the data so they retract the paper. Seems like pretty much no one can think it's real anymore.

How does a company of eleven people with essentially no scientific background manage to steer COVID care world wide with nobody fact checking until it's all published and out of the box?

Mas as pessoas que usaram esse estudo eram todas "a favor da ciência"!!!!!

The kiss of death for HCQ was for Trump to support it. Suddenly it has to be poison according to the so-called 'progressive' establishment. Surgisphere is literally a scam based on exploiting Trump Derangement Syndrome. And people died because of it.

Why is the full globalist apparatus (media, politicians, academia) fighting HCQ? Because they want more people to die.

There's a global data scam with #COVID19. A company that "came out of nowhere". Countries have based policies on it. WHO changed its HCQ policy. Lancet has published studies. The CEO is a Gujarati who has now deleted his Wikipedia page.

A search of publicly available material suggests several of Surgisphere’s employees have little or no data or scientific background. An employee listed as a science editor appears to be a science fiction author and fantasy artist. Another employee listed as a marketing executive is an adult model and events hostess.

The company’s LinkedIn page has fewer than 100 followers and last week listed just six employees. This was changed to three employees as of Wednesday.

While Surgisphere claims to run one of the largest and fastest hospital databases in the world, it has almost no online presence. Its Twitter handle has fewer than 170 followers, with no posts between October 2017 and March 2020.

Until Monday, the “get in touch” link on Surgisphere’s homepage redirected to a WordPress template for a cryptocurrency website, raising questions about how hospitals could easily contact the company to join its database.

Desai has been named in three medical malpractice suits, unrelated to the Surgisphere database. In an interview with the Scientist, Desai previously described the allegations as “unfounded”.

In 2008, Desai launched a crowdfunding campaign on the website Indiegogo promoting a wearable “next generation human augmentation device that can help you achieve what you never thought was possible”. The device never came to fruition.

Desai’s Wikipedia page has been deleted following questions about Surgisphere and his history, first raised in 2010.

Yeah, but Trump said the drug works so it must be false!! Quick, throw the scientific method out the window so we can discredit him faster!!

Só pra deixar claro, não foi o estudo em si, mas a base de dados que foi feita por essa empresa esquisita.

A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.

Data it claims to have legitimately obtained from more than a thousand hospitals worldwide formed the basis of scientific articles that have led to changes in Covid-19 treatment policies in Latin American countries. It was also behind a decision by the WHO and research institutes around the world to halt trials of the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine. On Wednesday, the WHO announced those trials would now resume.

Two of the world’s leading medical journals – the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine – published studies based on Surgisphere data.

A search of publicly available material suggests several of Surgisphere’s employees have little or no data or scientific background. An employee listed as a science editor appears to be a science fiction author and fantasy artist. Another employee listed as a marketing executive is an adult model and events hostess.

I thought Weinstein was being a bit harsh with his criticism of the response to Covid, but this is just unbelievable.

Alá os capacho da china, cometendo fraude alá witzel.

A lot of bad science (not just this study by any means) is getting published in this rush to get things out.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/04/coronavirus-science-rush-to-publish-retractions/

...the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model...

So, a typical Big Pharma think tank. Copy that.

The medical industry is so crippled with conflict of interest yet very few people seem to question any of it. If the system is corrupt, the data will be corrupt. That’s not science, it’s a scam.

Vish, se as fraudes forem comprovada, eles tem que responder criminalmente! O mesmo serve para o Didier Raoult

https://forbetterscience.com/2020/03/26/chloroquine-genius-didier-raoult-to-save-the-world-from-covid-19/

Hydroxychloroquine cannot be allowed to go into trials too much risks for journalists on having to eat their words....

The company is composed of only three employees:

• a man who had already been reported for data manipulation
• a science fiction writer
• a fashion model

And people are reticent to criticize (and even defensive about) WHO or governments other than the US, Brazil and other right wing administrations...

Big oof. For the public image of science, this is pretty disastrous.

For myself, this just reinforces my perception of research as proportional in quality to the time invested, which is nice to think about when one is spending months revising a single paper. Honest authorship has to balance speed to publication with confidence in results, so I'm hopeful we'll get a firm answer on this topic eventually.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 94%. (I'm a bot)

The World Health Organization and a number of national governments have changed their Covid-19 policies and treatments on the basis of flawed data from a little-known US healthcare analytics company, also calling into question the integrity of key studies published in some of the world's most prestigious medical journals.

A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.

"We are not responsible for the source data, thus the labor intensive task required for exporting the data from an Electronic Health Records, converting it into the format required by our data dictionary, and fully deidentifying the data is done by the healthcare partner."

Just get inside the house no issues.

I understand why there doing it because of the looting but I thing it's the person's fault if they get shot when there not inside there house when the swat team orders them too.

As much as this is important I don't know if this SR is the best one to post it in

Edited to include the second quote:

Mandatory curfew is only for public property and cannot be set on private property or your property. This means that if a curfew is set for your city, you might need to go home, but you are free to be in your yard, deck, patio, porch, or driveway. City ordinances like "quiet hours" may still apply.

Direct Police Orders During Curfew A direct order from a law enforcement officer or public safety officer will trump a curfew law. These actions must be followed, or you will be breaking the law. Orders like "go inside" or "get out" or "get down" are safety instructions that you have to follow, even on your own property.

Despite how any of us on this subreddit probably view the police, they were acting lawfully here.

I fell like this is just a title. Wouldn’t that person be shot if they made such a clear photo from outside. Shooting the looters isn’t allowed yet so why would they shoot random civs. That person is begging for upvotes. Don’t share this we haven’t even reached martial law yet. Just another idiot trying to make our country fall apart. They probably were warned as well. Even if people were shot they wouldn’t use live bullets. You are making such a big deal. This is supposed to be a cool sub reddit not political. Please delete this

Noob gg no re

They had a reason they were telling then to get inside, multiple times, and those where rubber, the state had declared marshal law for a reason, they dont want any riots happening

i don’t give 2 shits lmao they didn’t follow orders and they go the repercussions so

Looks like the scene with antman where hes all like what happened here.

God this is why I love reddit

THEY WERE TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES TO GO INSIDE AND WARNED, THEY ARE THE IGNORANT ONES

It’s called riot control they are keeping them in their homes to stop people from joining the rioters or so called protesters

What the fuck they fire at people on their own property seriously why do they think they can do that they are gonna kill someone

Yes its from 5 days ago i believe too

i was in a good mood dammit

Judging by 220k+ upvotes, 20k+ comments, and $2k+ in awards, it went viral already.

I know those guns they’re not real , the guns even have lights to intimidate the people that go outside for fun

as they should that’s the national guard not police so they have different engagment rules. second they didn’t comply with orders after being yelled at so idk see the problem?

What else do you want them to do though? This is pretty unacceptable, but if the people in your country are the type of people that say that it’s their “right” as an American to have their “freedom”. This is a pretty shit thing to do, but I won’t say it’s ineffective.

Relation to Phoenix or surrounding suburbs needs to be clear in the post title or description. Random pictures that are just taken here aren't "about" Phoenix, and neither are generic weather or traffic memes that could apply to dozens of cities.

On top of the fact that face coverings are critical right now for disease prevention reasons, it's also important to know that your privacy is protected at these protests.

I've seen comments from DACA recipients saying they won't go because of the risk.

I've seen people in open support of a revolution (which I agree with to a degree)

It's important to be out there and be heard in spite of the risk but it's also important to make sure you're not a victim of extrajudicial violence yourself and state sanctioned harassment from federal authorities with a "devil may care but I don't give a fuck attitude."

Consider using signal to organize with friends so you can't be traced or tracked.

Lastly, I'm not affiliated with signal. I just agree with their goal of secure communication free from the prying eyes of the government and other outside agencies.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but looking at those face coverings on the blog post Signal said they're distributing, they're looking to be inspired from Project Hyperface's anti-facial recognition patterns. I've recently ordered a neck gaiter that has patterns from that project from here

Can I disable the PIN? not just the reminders but the entire PIN feature? I don't want my data stored on their servers.

Signal needs to support sending and receiving SMS. Too unreliable.

A must needed feature.

but you can add animated stickers now in telegram

This is a great step in the right direction, but signal really also needs an option to completely mark out faces with a black box. It's 2020, and most off the shelf ML libaries are able to undo blurred images.

Again, this is a huge step in the right direction, but we have a ways to go to completely ensure privacy in these times and situations.

More people should use Signal.

Wow, this is awesome.

Looks like unnecessary bloat. You can do this with image editing software. I don't need it in a messaging app.

Has anyone been able to contact Signal for suggestions? I’d like to ask about implementing alerts for screenshots, I just tested it and we are not notified if either party takes a pic

While being able to use Signal on my Phone + Desktop (via their app) is fantastic, I don't use Signal as often as I could since I can't have it running both on my Phone & Tablet at the same time.

Wish there was a way they could get multiple devices working simultaneously. Or maybe they can and just don't want to (multiple devices would be insecure?). Then again, desktop app is multiple locations too, shrug.

Meanwhile WhatsApp is working on a tool to unblur blurred images.

I really dislike that they removed the export to plain text / SMS Backup & Restore function. Right now you can never ever get back to something else from Signal since the encrypted backup (which, by the way, has serious issues restoring now and then) is Signal Only. And the lack of import from system that is missing is really annoying as well.
Silence (F-droid) is so sporadically updated and feels outdated UI-wise but is still the best alternative. Same e2e encryption and none of the walled garden nonsense. It really makes me question the motives of the company and some of the support answers are not the nicest. So I guess they're fully aware what they're doing. (And, no, the "security" problem they claim is the reason you should not export in plain text is not up to them to decide.)

Apple Photos can already detect faces and Apple should add a blur face option. I submitted a feature request for this on apple.com/feedback and others should too. It would be very convenient to be able to select a group of photos and have faces automatically blurred.

I shouldn't say this because I want the street commies to be arrested, given military tribunals and imprisoned for a very long time, but - I'm sure this tool doesn't use a reversible algorithm at all, or store copies of the faces it's blurring at all.

Once again, I wish to reiterate that the marxists should be rounded up and shipped to Guantanamo.

Right now, people around the world are marching and protesting against racism and police brutality, outraged by the most recent police murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

Many of the people and groups who are organizing for that change are using Signal to communicate, and we’re working hard to keep up with the increased traffic. We’ve also been working to figure out additional ways we can support everyone in the street right now.

One immediate thing seems clear: 2020 is a pretty good year to cover your face.

The new blur feature leverages the latest system and platform-level libraries for Android and iOS. In order to maintain your privacy, all of the processing happens locally on your own device.

We want to do something outside of the app too, so we’ll be distributing versatile face coverings to the community free of charge. [...] We’re finalizing a few remaining details and will provide more information soon.

Unlike the Eclipse attack, Erebus is stealth.

From what i can tell, the Erebus attack is a type of eclipse attack. Eclipse attacks can be stealthy as well.

At some point we might add the function for a full node, that it can do 16 connections. could help too

The asmap functionality doesn't do anything by itself:

You need to give it an asmap file. Making an asmap file yourself is not easy. In the future one will probably be distributed with Bitcoin, but one isn't today.

To make one myself I had to download over 2GB of data from route servers and use a number of half complete undocumented tools that all caught fire when I tried them and took a bit of work to get going. I think it's fairly likely that I'm the only person that tested the functionality (other than with trivial dummy inputs) other than the authors.

So to say that the release has new protection is premature. Right now, it has optional and experimental functionality that the most expert of experts can manually use to improve their standing against this class of attacks.

Aside, use of TOR and onion peers (esp adding onions run by parties known to you) is a likely stronger though less general improvement.

White people really seem to forget that MLK got shot in the face for what he was doing.

This is pretty interesting and not totally unexpected, people seem to generally have a negative view of protesters and people seen as disruptive iirc this also extends to environmental protesters and others.

What would be really fascinating to see would be a demographic breakdown between black and white people of BLM vs the civil rights protesters and of younger vs older people at the time vs now and most importantly how people felt on the issue that was being protested then and now.

But I think this article kind of hides something. I know that, though not militantly in favour, public opinion was supposed to have shifted to support of civil rights well before the civil rights act was passed, and after the protests in Alabama that were broken up violently by police a clear majority of the population supported the marchers. I remember this from an essay I had to do on it a while ago so went looking for sources, probably not the best but quoting from a pretty good book

Howard Schuman and his coauthors document in their comprehensive book Racial Attitudes in America, there was an enormous liberalization in white opinion on race from the 1940s to the 1960s. By 1963, one year before the enactment of the Civil Rights Act, 85% of whites polled in a National Opinion Research Center survey endorsed the view that “Negroes should have as good a chance to get any kind of job” and rejected the position that “white people should have the first chance at any kind of job” (endorsed by only 15%). This contrasts with 55% who said that “white people should have the first chance” on the same question in 1942 and 51% who said so in 1944.

Similarly, 73% of whites questioned in a 1963 NORC poll embraced the view that “Negroes should have the right to use the same parks, restaurants, and hotels, as white people.” The same 1963 study also showed that 79% of whites rejected the idea that transportation in streetcars and buses should be segregated, compared to 54% who had endorsed it in 1942 (both the 1942 and 1963 questions used the same wording). The 1963 figures probably overstate the actual degree of white support for integration and equal opportunity. But it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that white opinion had moved strongly in an integrationist direction relative to previous years, and that discrimination against blacks in employment and public accommodations was opposed by a majority of white voters by 1964.

Around the BLM movement, there is a stark split between white and black populations about the fairness of the police and justice system and general police conduct, I haven't seen much about polling of younger people but I would expect this to be not all that different from older ones. So there does seem to be a difference, with civil rights era protesters, people agreed with much of their cause but didn't agree with some tactics, especially at the beginning and after the act was passed (as well as suspecting communist infiltration in true cold war style). With BLM, thought it does seem like the issue of race relations and discrimination is becoming more prominant and people are aware of the need for change, and the vast majority of black opinion agrees that police practice is unfair, white and other opinion has not changed that much on their issue

82% of black voters [autoplay warning] think most black Americans receive unfair treatment from the police. White voters by a 56% to 30% margin don’t believe that’s true...But 70% of all voters believe the level of crime in low-income inner city communities is a bigger problem in America today than police discrimination against minorities.

So I think this is slightly different. Also I would say that BLM shows the limits of what a black nationalist centred movement can achieve in the US. The 'policing and incarceration as social policy' goes very deep into the heart of US social and economic policy since the end of the Breton Woods era, and it will need a very broad coalition to change it.

I don't find that terribly interesting, just because there's such a clear difference in tactics. Civil rights protestors broke unjust laws, BLM sits in traffic to annoy people.

Submission Statement

A fascinating look at polling data from the 1960s that found wide majorities of Americans disapproved of tactics used by the civil rights movement. Many Americans also thought that sit-ins, boycotts and marches hurt the cause for integration. The article then compares those attitudes with current attitudes on Black Lives Matter.

I like the intention, but somehow I'm sort of not a huge fan. Whenever he goes on TV, he's headlined as "Andrew Yang staffer", and then he does a relatively poor job copy/pasting Yang's speech, but without the swag. It makes Yang's platform look worse.

Please remember we are here as a representation of Andrew Yang. Do your part by being kind, respectful, and considerate of the humanity of your fellow users.

Excellent and badly needed article. Unbelievable that so many get it wrong still.

Just had a colleague show me his Electrum (mobile) transaction that couldn't make up it's mind about the fee either. It even changed from 0conf to 1conf (to unknown). And indeed all bock explorers i checked showed useless information.

Nitpick:

However, since Segregated Witness activated, the relevant fee rate is “fee / virtual transaction size” in [satoshis per virtual byte].

That had been true since much earlier actually. Of I'm not mistaken, around one version before SegWit was rolled out (about 1.5 years ago now).

And to continue the shaming, Jochen, who has about the only useful mempool visualisation that I know of, also does it wrong:

The GOP destroyed this nation. I hope they all burn for this.

In lock step with largest job loss in American history.

Glad we can finally be done with any notion that whats good for GE, Ford, *whom ever is good for America.

Fascism pleases the S&P 500.

This is the type of piece that gets pumped out before the big fish exit the market.

Anything to drum up a dribble of optimism lololol market is fucked. 40 plus million people out of work. The economy isn't bouncing back.

Is it just me, or does this lay bare the notion that the stock market is a reliable economic indicator? Help me understand.

A significant portion of this is simply regression to the mean.

Right before the 50-day rally, the indices did an imitation of David Caruso's career.

If the expectation that the market will rebound in a year or two was "priced in" and everyone is just buying based on future expectations, then why is history filled with prolonged recoveries? If it always gets better, why isn't every recovery V shaped as long as an asteroid isn't screaming at earth?

RemindMe! 6 months

It's almost like throwing trillions of dollars at large corporations will boost stock numbers even if the rest of the economy is a complete mess...

Don'T trust those rigged numbers, such a fucking scam...

Wall St investors have given up on basic economic fundamentals. They know the Fed is going to prop up the entire market and are investing billions into stocks. Some good ol' Wall St Socialism.

How long can the Fed prop up the markets?

40 million unemployed

But wealthy people got more wealthy, so everything is fine!

Yes, this is true. And sadly, I only had $5,000 to start with. Every penny of my savings is in the stock market. I may come out with $30K by the end of the year and I’ve NEVER traded before. I can’t even imagine what I would’ve had if I had $50K or $100K to start with, much less $10 Million. Good lord.

Oh thank goodness. I was worried that record numbers of people were unemployed and cities were literally on fire. But WHEW boy, a stock index is doing great. Nothing to worry about.

Ye rustic pump-n-dump

Market doesn't reflect optimism as much as cheap money that is going to keep a host of zombie companies from going under. The backstopping of the bond markets by the feds is doing wonders for the short term outlook.

Stocks arent going up in actual value, the value of a US dollar is going down.

It's war time. Only this time against the American People

Just keep fucking printing.

Society collapsing on all fronts except for the stock market. This seems normal and fine.

This is the greatest money printing 50 day rally in the history.

I mean if you study economics right now, it must be like a clown school.

Stay on topic here. You asked “why collectively, though?” This is not about whether or not people figure out how to get rich. It’s about recognizing that the vast, vast, vast majority of the country will not ever get rich. However, through collective bargaining, they can at least get a fair(er) wage. Seriously, have a bit of compassion for others. It goes a long way. Not everybody is trying to be the next Bill Gates or Warren Buffett.

...”If history is any indication”... is the author reading from a different textbook than the rest of us?

This is Collapse. History shows that quite clearly.

So?

How do they make money?

I think Jami might be the best available solution, due to its true P2P, lack of any blockchains or other bandwidth drains like that, and ability to work offline between devices.

It also has a updated and maintained Android app!

Sadly, the app is only available in english.

So, I literally posted about this yesterdayhttps://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/g652o2/not_sure_if_this_belong_here_thought_you_guys/

-And, I pointed out- you can actually USE this, as they've got it functional while testing it- and put the instructions for using Jitsi in E2E encryption mode as it currently is, there as well-
(see here , the reddit post on how to set it up!)

​

But it could def use more visibility, being Jitsi is a direct Zoom rival, and nothing else out there allows free , client side end to end encrypted open source videoconferencing (for now, while groups like Signal are working on it...)

I appreciate the effort of course, but IMHO it does raise some questions:

• The pictures of the encrypted streams look very much not like random noise to me → That is usually a warning sign for ECB
• I'm not sure about the way to derive the key, if I understand it correctly this is a lot more brittle than just running a DHKX.

Has this solved the problem of only being E2E encrypted for calls with 2 parties? I thought any larger groups were not E2EE.

the sender encrypts it in their mind, the receiver decrypts it in their mind. like poetry

The real problem it seems to me is the .gov is actively making real encryption illegal to tbe best of its ability. I have 100% faith that a lot of you encryption folks could come up with near unbreakavle methods. Im a bit in awe of tbose of you who figure out how to break encryption honestly. I also have 100% faith that is the biggest fear of our elite. Theyre scanning our, and our politicians emails, phone calls etc as we speak. Theyre going to go to the mat to keep that power

This looks like just the trivial part of e2ee video: encrypting/decrypting a stream is not complicated.

It is my impression correct that this means there's no downscaling performed or anything? Did I miss something?

I.e. if I have 4 people in a conference and they all have 1920x1080 streams, each should take up only a quarter of a 1920x1080 screen. Without encryption you'd just have the bridge downscaling the streams and mixing them into a single 1920x1080 stream, thus getting linear bandwidth consumption (one 1920x1080 stream down per participant), instead of quadratic (n 1920x1080 streams down per participant, downscaled and mixed locally). I'm curious what the devs plan for this.

Then it turns out Google Meet has end to end encryption because this is what half the video calls look like.

It will be interesting. Does Firefox will implements this non-standard feature?

Defense in layers? Blasphemy! You should reroute all your traffic, unencrypted, through a server in China first. /s

Since it uses a chrome api, does this mean that it doesn't work with Firefox?

So for now this is a Chrome only feature, because Firefox hasn't implemented WebRTC completely?

Looks interesting. How does this work? Is it centralized or is it peer 2 peer? Seems like you can just create rooms and go without any fuss.

Edit: I mean specifically the room creation. I can see the WebRTC stuff is p2p obviously. Their about page and website really sucks in explaining anything.

Our next step is therefore to work out exactly how key management and exchange would work.

Isn't this what people have been trying to solve for 30 years now?

Why not just go all the way and get rid of meta-data too?

Lindsay Graham is working hard to make end-to-end encryption illegal for citizens. Meanwhile police and other government agencies are busy encrypting their radio communications.

This is cool! At first I think Emil enters the key using URL query (?e2eekey=foo), which will be sent to the server => this will allow Jitsi to be able to decrypt the call. But in fact, he uses the URL hash (#e2eekey=foo), so the key is not sent to the server and all encryption & decryption happens on client-side.

The hard thing now is how do callers (clients) come up with the same secret key without leaking it to the server or the public. Perhaps something like Diffie Hellman in TLS?

Is this meant to be another layer of protection on top of password protected meetings/videos, or a replacement?

Sad that this is dependent on an extension to WebRTC that’s (currently) Chrome / Chromium-only. It’s still a proposed API, but I don't see it being supported by other browser in the foreseeable future.

Looks great, but wouldn't something like an access password be just as efficient as this? Genuine question

Already upgraded my node 👍

Thank you.

Keep in mind this is only a selection of the changes and improvements in 0.20.0.. The article doesn't mention bech32 addresses being the default now*, f.ex (and a big bunch of low level improvements/fixes).

*edit: this has been the default since 0.19.0 already apparently!
