Android Authority: What is Pegasus and how is it used for spying?. https://www.androidauthority.com/pegasus-spyware-1646458 "In short, Pegasus is commercial spyware. Unlike the malware used by cybercriminals to make money by stealing from and cheating their victims, Pegasus is designed solely for spying. Once it has secretly infected a smartphone (Android or iOS), it can turn it into a fully-fledged surveillance device. SMS messages, emails, WhatsApp messages, iMessages, and more, are all open for reading and copying. It can record incoming and outgoing calls, as well as steal all the photos on the device. Plus it can activate the microphone and/or the camera and record what is being said. When you combine that with the potential to access past and present location data, it is clear that those listening at the other end know almost everything there is to know about anyone that is targeted."

I think that there could actually be multiple tethers, maybe even 5, tied together at perhaps 5,000 altitude, and each anchored at perhaps a mile apart, so that if one gets cut by a passing plane, the rest will take over the function.

Their distinguishing features include lower temperature/pressure ranges (50 to 100 °C) and a special proton-conducting polymer electrolyte membrane. PEMFCs generate electricity and operate on the opposite principle to PEM electrolysis, which consumes electricity. They are a leading candidate to replace the aging alkaline fuel-cell technology, which was used in the Space Shuttle.[1] PEMFCs are built out of membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) which include the electrodes, electrolyte, catalyst, and gas diffusion layers. An ink of catalyst, carbon, and electrode are sprayed or painted onto the solid electrolyte and carbon paper is hot pressed on either side to protect the inside of the cell and also act as electrodes. The pivotal part of the cell is the triple phase boundary (TPB) where the electrolyte, catalyst, and reactants mix and thus where the cell reactions actually occur.[2] Importantly, the membrane must not be electrically conductive so the half reactions do not mix. Operating temperatures above 100 °C are desired[citation needed] so the water byproduct becomes steam and water management becomes less critical in cell design. Reactions[edit] Further information: Fuel cell A proton exchange membrane fuel cell transforms the chemical energy liberated during the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to electrical energy, as opposed to the direct combustion of hydrogen and oxygen gases to produce thermal energy.

Encryption Originalism
https://www.justsecurity.org/77383/encryption-originalism/ Earlier this year, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Chris Wray described the most pressing security threats facing his agency. Unsurprisingly, his opening statement led off with a mention of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol and the broader problem of rising domestic extremism. Yet Wray then devoted more than twice as many words—nearly a quarter of his prepared remarks—to the problem of strong encryption. (The new preferred label is apparently “user-only-access” encryption, a modest improvement over the tendentious “warrant-proof encryption.”) Wray would later attempt to link the two issues, insinuating that the failure to adequately prepare for the Capitol riot was attributable to the insurrectionists’ use of encrypted communications platforms.

With all due respect, I have to ask what you mean by "his support". I definitely DON'T 'support' the US Federal Government's trying to put Assange into prison for doing what I understand Assange did. Keep in mind that during the time frame of 2009-early-2012, I was mostly still in prison, only with access to newspapers and magazines. So, it's likely that during that time frame people came to conclusions about Assange based on material I never saw. I believe that Assange had been acting essentially as a journalist. Perhaps unconventionally, by the standards of the 1990's and before, but nevertheless quite legitimately. Perhaps some people objected that he had published classified (secret) information, but my memory includes the "Pentagon Papers" case from 1971, including Daniel Ellsberg and the New York Times. Generally, my position is that if somebody leaks things that piss off governments, I consider that a positive step. I don't know if Assange made mistakes, or "did everything right". In the spirit of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", I would find it very hard to oppose those leaks. Further, I was quite happy that Hitlery Clinton was subject to the leaks that were published and thus amplified by Assange. And that was true regardless of where he actually got the material leaked: Through some anonymous upload mechanism, from Russia? From a leak by an insider in the DNC? From other people who had access to the same information? During my stay in prison, I learned a great deal of American Federal law. Later, since Assange was (and still is) being victimized in relation to such laws, a few years ago I decided to look at the charging documents online, and to figure out if there were any flaws present. It turns out, perhaps not surprisingly, that it was alnost all "flaw" and virtually no legitimate charging. What was I supposed to do then? Simple, I analyzed what Assange had been charged with, and I declared it to be bogus, and I explained why. I even (eventually) sent this material to Jennifer Robinson, Assange's barrister. (No response, but I didn't really expect any.) So, I've done this to thwart the US Federal Government's attempts to further victimize him. Where was the discussion where people concluded that Assange was a "fascist"? Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

While promising, the drug has yet to be shown to have the same effect inside the human body, because the Australian research was conducted “in vitro,” meaning it was in a Petri dish at a lab. The researchers are still trying to nail down funding for pre-clinical testing and clinical trials, after which they’d have to start the long approval process for the trials themselves. The results, though, are promising. In just 48 hours, the scientists say, all genetic material of the virus was eradicated. “We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,” Kylie Wagstaff, lead researcher and co-author of the study published today in Antiviral Research, said in a statement. “Ivermectin is very widely used and seen as a safe drug,” Wagstaff said. “We need to figure out now whether the dosage you can use it at in humans will be effective — that’s the next step.” “As the virologist who was part of the team who were first to isolate and share SARS-COV2 outside of China in January 2020, I am excited about the prospect of Ivermectin being used as a potential drug against COVID-19,” Leon Caly, senior medical scientist at the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory (VIDRL) at the Doherty Institute, said. A vaccine for COVID-19 is likely still at least a year out, despite research teams across the world fast tracking work on potential vaccines. But that doesn’t mean we’re doomed. “In times when we’re having a global pandemic and there isn’t an approved treatment, if we had a compound that was already available around the world then that might help people sooner,” Wagstaff said in the statement. “Realistically it’s going to be a while before a vaccine is broadly available.” --- https://www.poison.org/articles/ivermectin-your-dogs-heartworm-medicine-173 The Full Story Sometimes new drugs are found in unusual places.

Re: Ross Ulbricht got 2xLife+40 for a Harmless Website
I am not aware that Silk Road ever had a genuine "assassination" market. Fake perhaps, not genuine.As for "illicit drugs": Probably billions of dollars of 'illicit drugs' are bought and sold, daily, without any connection to the Internet. If anything, Silk Road made the world a safer place: There was much less likelihood of being arrested for drug deals, due to little or no human contact. And because of the concept of "reputation", chances are good that the drugs sold on Silk Road (or other subsequent 'Dark Markets') were more reliable, higher and more-consistent purity, fewer unhealthy 'cuts', etc. So, it was a BENEFICIAL website. It simply thwarted the desire of some people who wanted to suppress drug sales and use.

Key witness in Assange case admits to lies in indictment - Stundin
https://stundin.is/grein/13627/ "Department of Justice case against Julian Assange has admitted to fabricating key accusations in the indictment against the Wikileaks founder. The witness, who has a documented history with sociopathy and has received several convictions for sexual abuse of minors and wide-ranging financial fraud, made the admission in a newly published interview in Stundin where he also confessed to having continued his crime spree whilst working with the Department of Justice and FBI and receiving a promise of immunity from prosecution." "The man in question, Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson, was recruited by US authorities to build a case against Assange after misleading them to believe he was previously a close associate of his. In fact he had volunteered on a limited basis to raise money for Wikileaks in 2010 but was found to have used that opportunity to embezzle more than $50,000 from the organization. Julian Assange was visiting Thordarson’s home country of Iceland around this time due to his work with Icelandic media and members of parliament in preparing the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, a press freedom project that produced a parliamentary resolution supporting whistleblowers and investigative journalism."

This system of communication is known to be immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), a disturbance generated by external sources that affects electrical circuits and can disrupt radio signals.le some studies have highlighted the possible advantages of free-space optical communication, this system of communication has so far come with certain limitations. Most notably, it is known to offer limited security against eavesdroppers. Researchers at Télécom Paris (member of Institut Polytechnique de Paris), mirSense, Technische Universität Darmstadt and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have recently introduced a unique system for more secure free-space optical communication based on a technology known as quantum cascade laser, a specific type of semiconductor laser that typically emits mid-infrared light."

Almost every time the former president opened his mouth, members of the media and expert class would run forward with their list of reasons why he was wrong — before actually checking to see if he was. The immediate condemnation of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug touted by Trump during the early days of the pandemic, is a great example. Trump claimed that the drug could be used as an effective treatment against COVID-19, and within minutes, there were dozens of headlines slamming him for pushing an “unproven” and “disproved” medication. The health experts agreed and warned the public that hydroxychloroquine, a drug that had been in common use for more than 60 years, could be “dangerous.” As a result, the Food and Drug Administration pulled its emergency use authorization for the drug and suspended trials testing its effectiveness. The World Health Organization urged the international community to abandon using hydroxychloroquine. And Twitter even restricted the account of Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., because he posted a video of several doctors touting the effectiveness of the drug, which amounted to “spreading misleading and potentially harmful misinformation,” according to the social media gian(End of partial, recent quote) On Sat, Feb 8, 2020 at 9:18 PM jim bell wrote: [chloroquine is an old-line drug typically used against malaria] [partial quote follows] https://www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/science/020620/could-an-old-malaria-drug-help-fight-the-new-coron ASBMB Today Science Could an old malaria drug help fight the new coronavirus? Could an old malaria drug help fight the new coronavirus? By John Arnst February 06, 2020 Chloroquine might be getting new life as an antiviral treatment for the novel coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and has infected some 25,000 people in more than 25 countries. For decades, the drug was a front-line treatment and prophylactic for malaria. In a three-page paper published Tuesday in Cell Research, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s State Key Laboratory of Virology write that both chloroquine and the antiviral remdesivir were, individually, “highly effective” at inhibiting replication of the novel coronavirus in cell culture. Their drug screen evaluated five other drugs that were not effective. The authors could not be reached for comment. Though the paper is brief, John Lednicky, a professor at the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute, found its results intriguing. “It’s interesting in that it really lacks a lot of details but, nevertheless, if you look at the data as presented, at least in vitro, it seems like chloroquine can be used as an early-stage drug,” he said. “It would be very good if these types of experiments were repeated by more laboratories to see whether the same results occur across the board.” Chloroquine is a synthetic form of quinine, a compound found in the bark of cinchona trees native to Peru and used for centuries to treat malaria. Chloroquine was an essential element of mass drug administration campaigns to combat malaria throughout the second half of the 20th century, and remains one of the World Health Organization’s essential medicines. However, after the malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax began exhibiting resistance to the drug in the 1960s and 1980s, respectively, it was replaced by similar antimalarial compounds and combination therapies. Chloroquine is still widely used against the three other species of plasmodium and to treat autoimmune disorders and some cases of amebiasis, an intestinal infection caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica. Chloroquine’s antiviral properties were explored in the mid-1990s against HIV and in the following decade against severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which is closely related to the novel coronavirus. In 2004, researchers in Belgium found that chloroquine inhibited replication of SARS in cell culture. The following year, however, another team at Utah St
