the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

The CIA’s vast database of software vulnerabilities has not only been putting the cyber security of millions of Americans at risk for years, it has also cost American taxpayers millions of dollars, as the agency has had to pay for a monopoly on the vulnerabilities. Considering that the CIA lost control of this database over a year ago, those dollars have essentially been wasted. Part 4 - Losing control and compromising security on an unprecedented scale Despite pouring millions into the purchase and hoarding of technological vulnerabilities, the contents of this vast database did not stay secret for very long. Wikileaks, during its press conference on the “Vault 7” release, noted that the CIA “ lost control of the the majority of its hacking arsenal. ” According to the source that provided the documents to Wikileaks, the CIA’s hacking tools and exploits had been “ circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, ” lea

Eric Tousaint’s study of the odious debt doctrine by Eric Toussaint Part 12 - Why the US repudiation of the debt claimed from Cuba in 1898 is relevant to Greece today I can’t resist drawing a parallel with the current situation in Europe. The comparison with the Washington-Madrid-Havana conflict in 1898 is of capital importance if we study the situation of Greece and other countries such as Cyprus or Portugal in the 2010s. After 2010, many recent studies demonstrate that the amounts Greece is being held responsible for were never transferred to the Greek authorities. They served mainly to repay private foreign banks, in particular French and German ones . Since 2010, credits have been granted to Greece by 14 States of the Eurozone, by the IMF and by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which took over from the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), because Greece no longer has access to the financial markets (in another context, like Cuba und

globinfo freexchange Gesine Schwan gave an interview to Τageszeitung with references in Greece. Schwan is a historical member of SPD, Political Theory Professor at the Free University of Berlin and influential personality of the German left intelligentsia. " I believe that the Greek people will not give up. The German government policy strongly harmed Greece,” she says characteristically. Schwan accused Schauble, concerning the Greek debt issue, saying that “ Schauble does not have a rational, economic perspective for the country. He is only interested to overthrow SYRIZA. This is what he always wanted and still wants. His actions are deeply ideological. For that reason we must achieve a governmental change in Germany, this Autumn. ” In another question on whether she sees a repeat of the situation of summer 2015, Schwan says: “ Theoretically yes. Yet, the fear for a breakup of Europe itself, especially after the decision of Great Britain for Brexit,

Suggested documentaries watched by failedevolution at the 19th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival Based on Andrew Feinstein's acclaimed book of the same title, the film reveals how the international trade in weapons – with the complicity of governments and intelligence agencies, investigative and prosecutorial bodies, weapons manufacturers, dealers and agents – determines economic and foreign policies, undermines democracy and creates widespread suffering. Through scrutinizing research and by approaching both dangerous places and bright thinkers (such as the late Eduardo Galeano), the director with the distinctive style sheds light on how our realities are being constructed, but also posits alternative perspectives through this horror. http://tdf.filmfestival.gr/default.aspx?lang=en-US&page=1463&date=3/4/2017&movie=1805

Last year, a Russian startup announced that it could scan the faces of people passing by Moscow’s thousands of CCTV cameras and pick out wanted criminals or missing persons. Unlike much face recognition technology — which runs stills from videos or photographs after the fact — NTechLab’s FindFace algorithm has achieved a feat that once only seemed possible in the science fictional universe of “Minority Report”: It can determine not just who someone is, but where they’ve been, where they’re going, and whether they have an outstanding warrant, immigration detainer, or unpaid traffic ticket. For years, the development of real-time face recognition has been hampered by poor video resolution, the angles of bodies in motion, and limited computing power. But as systems begin to transcend these technical barriers, they are also outpacing the development of policies to constrain them. Civil liberties advocates fear that the rise of real-time face recognition alongside the gr
