Utter nonsense. Makes Cooper, the Labour party, and most of Parliament look out of touch, pathetic and stupid. supporting the murder of thousands of innocent humans while proscribing as terrorists those who protest against the killing.
Twenty-seven people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act at a demonstration in support of the direct action group Palestine Action, in London's Parliament Square, while Palestine activists blocked the London Pride parade to protest its ties to …
"Over R1 Trillion Looted Through BEE — South Africa’s Greatest Political Scam? !! "
"A bombshell revelation has shaken South Africa’s fragile economic credibility to the core. Professor William Gumede, one of the country’s most respected governance scholars, has exposed what many feared: over R1 trillion has been transferred under the banner of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), and almost all of it has landed in the pockets of fewer than 100 politically connected individuals.Yes — R1,000,000,000,000. Not to uplift a nation, but to enrich a recycled elite.
“BEE only benefits a very small group — politically connected, linked to the ANC, linked to the trade unions… and the same people are re-empowered again and again,” said Gumede in an explosive public interview. This is not transformation. This is state-sanctioned looting under the guise of empowerment."
"If “empowerment” means billion-rand transfers to under 100 people — most of whom are repeat beneficiaries — then South Africa is no longer a democracy. It is a captured state under economic apartheid, run by political bandits. This is not empowerment. It is daylight robbery, orchestrated from within government halls, funded by the suffering of the masses, and protected by a network of spin, censorship, and silence. !!"

I used to work at a place outside the city that only had one bus after work and it was kinda spotty and unreliable. However, there was an online API provided by the bus company that told me where the bus is.
So I wrote a Python script and a Linux alert that would give me a notification when the bus was within range, with enough time to get to the stop on time.
I found a webpage that uses it and found out that it requires no authentication. So I just copied the url and sent a request every 5 seconds just like the webpage did. It gave a csv of busses, their routes and gps locations.
It depends on the transit service, and how much their IT people suck. I'm pretty sure there have been multiple attempts to make standardized APIs for this sort of thing, but you shouldn't necessarily expect them to be widely used except maybe in Europe.
Do a web search for "[transit service name] API" and start from there.
Edit: My local transit service apparently publishes a GTFS feed, which may be more widespread than I assumed, but I'm honestly kinda surprised they didn't try to roll their own or something stupid like that.
Thinking about SMS security @ryan @Pheonix @phoneboy - it's my understanding that SMS is unencrypted w/in the network where it's sent (so phone-company secure), and that the biggest risk is rogue connection points that may trick the phone into connecting to it. People may underestimate how likely they are to encounter one of those ("who would want MY data?" LOL), but has that threat model changed?
I agree on the levels of security by content, but it also needs to be the highest level of security that content would need; otherwise, the presence of a certain level of security implies the value of the content being secured. I agree that should be baked in at the design level, not layers bolted on afterwards; but, do you not see some of those as pragmatic steps to save the uninformed masses from themselves"?

No. Because your first mistake was calling it "naughty". When it's perfectly valid, acceptable and shouldn't be seen as out of the ordinary or somehow 'bad'. 😜
It’s always good to remind libertarians that Milton Friedman was one of the founders and scions of the outsourcing movement. He preached profit as a social good and attacked businessmen who thought otherwise as socialists undermining free society. One of the worst scumbags of all time.
Parcel giant UPS said on Thursday it will offer voluntary buyouts to its full-time U.S. drivers as part of the largest network reconfiguration in its history — a sweeping overhaul that includes cutting 20,000 jobs and closing 73 facilities.
Dang. Sounds like they're either losing business, or getting rid of a bunch off people so that they can, eventually, get self-driving trucks. Of course, the self-driving trucks are still a couple of years away. 😄

Umm... My name isn't a Japanese name. How TF would it be "weeabo" or "anime"? Does he just assume 4 syllables = Japanese? I can't think of any 4 syllable anime names. 🤷♀️️
Also, I didn't come up with it. It was one of the few decent gifts from my blood family.
Also, I'm from New England. I had my name long before I got out here.
A poor assumption based on that your name somewhat looks like I guess Mikado? It’s amusing how much people continue to talk when they are given no response.

The hacker that found his college application might just save New York City from communism. Also, did you ever notice how these journalists like to find camera angles to give people they like halos? It's not very subtle.
I never thought that accounting could be that easy and amusing until I installed GnuCash. The amusing part begins when debits and credits do not match or when one buys shares just to have more things to track with GnuCash. In other words, GNU/Linux gaming is—as fellow gamers may say—"poggers".
We had to move our #Coleus #plants a few weeks ago because the rats-with-hooves (city deer) mowed them down. They have recovered very nicely in their new safe zone.
