Warum heute immer noch gefaxt wird

Schnell, sicher, effizient: Bei seiner Erfindung war das Faxgerät eine Revolution. Heute wirken die Papierspucker wie aus der Zeit gefallen. Doch ausgestorben sind sie noch lange nicht. Von L. Hiltscher.

There are converging financial interests in censoring the Internet to protect personal reputation. This article comprehensively describes how Liz Fong-Jones has made censoring online content a business model he intends to sell to the rich.

Google accidentally deleted a $125 billion pension fund's account

About half a million customers of the Australian fund UniSuper were locked out of their accounts for a week

Repost from Du Rove's Channel
🤫 A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad 🥷 🥸 The US government spent $3M to build Signal’s encryption, and today the exact same encryption is implemented in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Messages and even Skype. It looks almost as if big tech in the US is not allowed to build its own encryption protocols that would be independent of government interference 🐕‍🦺 🕵️‍♂️ An alarming number of important people I’ve spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media. But whenever somebody raises doubt about their encryption, Signal’s typical response is “we are open source so anyone can verify that everything is all right”. That, however, is a trick 🤡 🕵️‍♂️ Unlike Telegram, Signal doesn’t allow researchers to make sure that their GitHub code is the same code that is used in the Signal app run on users’ iPhones. Signal refused to add reproducible builds for iOS, closing a GitHub request from the community. And WhatsApp doesn’t even publish the code of its apps, so all their talk about “privacy” is an even more obvious circus trick 💤 🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪

Bill Gates Was Born in a Wealthy Family & His Mother Helped Him Get Sweetheart Deal With IBM

(Tim Ferriss) Growing up as I did, with an early interest in business, it was almost impossible not to envy people like Bill Gates, and even measure myself against them. Gates had placed all his chips on the table at one time and walked away richer than Croesus. And me? Well, I’d never even sat down at the table. The way I saw it, I couldn’t.
