I bet you have no clue how many innocent human beings the American government and its allies have massacred in the last 10 years.

Hint: it doesn't benefit you one bit.


American problems.


I'm cool with that. I will steal it, for sure, and make sure it gets read.


This is not about Snowden.

This is about the SIGNIFICANT crimes against humanity and war crimes that he - and others - have put their lives on the line to reveal to the general public.

You (we) are being lied to about the activities of our governments in the Western sphere. They started WORLD WAR THREE, and wish to keep this fact from you.

And, they are laying in the conditions required for a repressive, totalitarian regime - and working as hard as they can, at all costs, to ensure that civil society does not have what it needs to counter their actions.

If you value the future freedom of your children, you WILL inform yourself about what the 5-eyes New World Order are doing, in your name, to ensure that the Western societies maintain dominance and control over humanity. It is that serious.


I wish I had this data, myself. I mean, my own personal data - it would be so incredibly useful for me to be able to go back through the last years and see my location and tracking data. I could finally get those timesheets updated with correct details ..

But, alas, no. Its not available to me. Only third parties can access it.

This is a terrible situation.


You can download your google data at https://takeout.google.com/

Not sure if this is only for EU citizens.


Yeah, its better than nothing but that's still not quite as simple as just having a database I can copy off my own phone with all the details.


If you have an iPhone, you can use a utility to extract the location database: https://reincubate.com/support/how-to/export-view-iphone-loc...

If you have an Android, using Google Takeout would likely be the easiest route: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout


Australia's energy problems are a symptom of a much larger issue.

Australia is run by mining magnates and an energy oligarchy. Its government has very little concern for the future of the country - having sold most of it, out from under the Australian citizens - and its political class is hell-bent on cashing in. Australians should stop being so shocked about the impropriety of the nation and start paying more attention.

This is the nation that watched the Great Barrier Reef die in front of its eyes, for the sake of a few smashed avocados. Its the nation that got away with its genocide, while the world wasn't watching. Its a nation which glorifies war criminals as heroes and hides its political dissidents behind secret courts and non-public processes.

Its political system was specifically designed to allow only the ruling classes to wield power - the riffraff of the general population will never get what they want from their government, if big changes are required to get them.


Doesn't this just result in more dead fish, starved to death, because they spent all their energy flocking to a reef that can't sustain them?


Perhaps that's what helps the reef to recover - it attracts fish that die and feed the local ecosystem that way until it can grow again.


That's dark. Might be simpler just to dump nutrients over the side, then.


Or dump nutrients and start the iPod a few months later


This is why I find detox to be such a handy tool:

Detox has solved endless amounts of hassle...


The more I see these kinds of products coming out, the more I realize that Creative Labs, of all people, had something right when they designed the Zii Egg .. if only they'd put some weight behind the platform and finished PlaszmaOS, which was a Linux OS on par with iOS at the time - but alas cancelled "because Android":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zii_EGG

I really have to wonder what could have been if CL had the balls to finish this project and make it available to all and sundry to serve as the basis for commercial products. It was a delightfully cheerful little system for the time ..


I agree, and I think there is an arrogance by those with the view that 'coverage testing is useless' which blinds them to the real purpose of code coverage testing: to tell you what you haven't tested yet.

Coverage isn't supposed to tell you anything about the quality of the tests beyond what code simply has never been tested yet.

And yet, people seem to think "code coverage testing" means something else entirely. The only purpose for paying attention to coverage metrics, as a manager, is to understand how much more work there is to be done on the tests - or, to determine code paths which never get executed and are therefore dead weight on the project.


> the real purpose of code coverage testing: to tell you what you haven't tested yet.

I can get 100% code coverage with tests passing on:

    // Returns the result of A*B
    int mult(int A, int B) {
      return 4;
    }
I won't know the functionality is not tested. Code coverage will just be an illusion of security.


Code coverage is not all you should be doing.
