The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Legal information is of interest to legal eagles. However, a business move by Casetext may cause pain at professional publishing shops operated by LexisNexis and Westlaw. Both companies pride themselves on their technology savvy. But a four year old company may have become the little engine that could run over executives napping on the train tracks. Read more.
Open Source Networking and a Vision of Fully Automated Networks
Transforming telecom
As an example of transformative change that is now underway, Joshipura pointed to the telecom industry. “For the past 137 years, we saw proprietary solutions,” he said. “But in the past several years, disaggregation has arrived, where hardware is separated from software. If you are a hardware engineer you build things like software developers do, with APIs and reusable modules. In the telecom industry, all of this is helping to scale networking deployments in brand new, automated ways.”

Global Networks Are Necessary To Overcome Abusive Governments And Oligarchy
We need to think about building a world defined by networks governed by rules, but with no rulers.

Facebook Couldn't Handle News. Maybe It Never Wanted To.
While Facebook is notorious for its endless piddling product tweaks, this one seems a substantive shift in strategic vision. It’s an unprecedented acknowledgment that Facebook’s core feature — News Feed — has not worked out at all the way it was intended. It was abused by peddlers of misinformation. It was used by foreign governments to attempt to interfere in elections. It made people feel bad.
Phi Beta Iota: What this innocuous announcement does not say is that the four rights that this group has been working on for over 20 years are the rights of Anonymity, Identity, Privacy, and Security, at the individual “you own your own data” level, and that they are therefore the anti-thesis to Amazon, Facebook, Google, MeetUp, Microsoft, Twitter, YouTube, and Wikipedia, among others. There is a very heavy crypto presence this year, and we believe that this event and the new crypto (beyond blockchain, processing as fast as credit cards and scalable) are converging. If there is ONE event that can liberate us all from #GoogleGestapo, this is that event. Robert Steele and two of his top crypto advisors will be present throughout the event. Full announcement and link below the fold.

A day does not go by that I do not receive inputs from citizens all over the world, generally of remarkably high quality and focus. Below the fold is a death notice for Facebook, which will probably not be able to rise to the European Community mandate that all end users must own their own data and be able to transfer it freely among applications; and a couple of related items.
As a side note, I continue to view with disdain all the lawyers now working cases in isolation against pieces of #GoogleGestapo. They are simply not rising to the possibilities of creating an orchestrated Title 7 Discrimination class action lawsuit against Twitter (Roger Stone ++), Facebook (David Icke ++), YouTube (Prager ++) and AdSense (Alex Jones ++). It is as if all the lawyers are deliberately not serving their clients' best interests.
