I’m old enough to remember being advised never to use the public toilets at Piccadilly Circus because the place was crawling with undercover constables, in unconvincing white polo necks with policemen’s boots poking out from their skinny jeans, liable to arrest you for catching their eye at the urinal. In those days, they’d cuff you if they thought you were looking for gay sex. Now they cruise around trying to jolly you into giving it a go.

Loud murmurs filled the UN General Assembly hall in New York when Trump issued his sternest warning yet to despot Kim whose ballistic missile launches and nuclear tests have rattled the globe.
Unless North Korea backs down, Republican firebrand said: “We will have no choice than to totally destroy North Korea.”
“Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.”

Canada flagged as hidden $14 trillion credit bubble stokes global crisis fears
The problem is that we paid off those who failed and didn’t jail the criminally negligent the first time around. With out consequences, there are no lessons learned.

Been there, done that federally. The provinces are behind the times when it comes to political financing. Getting the tax-payer to support them is just wrong.

A version of Piriform’s CCleaner was injected with a trojan during the build.
Based on further analysis, we found that the 5.33.6162 version of CCleaner and the 1.07.3191 version of CCleaner Cloud was illegally modified before it was released to the public, and we started an investigation process. We also immediately contacted law enforcement units and worked with them on resolving the issue. Before delving into the technical details, let me say that the threat has now been resolved in the sense that the rogue server is down, other potential servers are out of the control of the attacker, and we’re moving all existing CCleaner v5.33.6162 users to the latest version.
In the Eye of the Storm (Northern California Edition)
Harmeet Dhillon is a prominent lawyer in San Francisco. Born in India, she emigrated to America with her parents at the age of two. She attended Dartmouth University. She founded the Dhillon Law Group and now defends assorted conservative people and organizations who have had their civil rights trampled upon.
This past weekend she was featured on a podcast with hosts Adam Carolla and Mark Geragos. If you’d like to hear an honest, refreshing conversation of common sense then this is the best podcast you’ll hear all week.
A good portion of what they discuss is the turmoil around Ben Shapiro speaking at University of California, Berkeley … you know that place which once deeply valued free speech. No longer, it seems. But perhaps after they start losing an endless string of lawsuits and have to pay out enormous sums of money, maybe they’ll finally wise up. Here’s the video of Shapiro’s lecture and the Q&A that followed.

“If Chancellor Merkel … really cares about reducing CO2 in this world, why is she going away from nuclear?” Pruitt asked. “It’s so hypocritical for countries to look at the United States and say, ‘You need to do more.’ Really? So, we’ve reduced our pollutants under the Clean Air Act [criteria pollutants and CO2].”
[…]
Merkel has been a leading critic of the Trump administration for deciding to leave the Paris climate change agreement, which seeks to reduce carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.
“The environmental Left has truly created this mindset that somehow environmental protection is ‘do not touch.’ Really? When we are called to feed the world, really? When we are called to power the world. When we do it better than anyone in the world already,” Pruitt said.
Now they need to call out Hollywood.

Whenever you see complexity, that is a red flag. Complexity is often used to deceive. And complexity invites human error. When you see complex models that claim to predict the future, stay skeptical, especially when humans are making assumptions that influence the results.
