Tom Clancy predicted a 9/11 like attack in his 1994 book Debt of Honor. But I always thought the genocidal eco-terrorist plan in Rainbow Six had more prophetic potential.

telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/…
Why, if the premises of climate catastrophe are accepted, are the actions of the eco-warrior Horizon Corporation, untethered by any religious notion of the sacredness of human life or injunctions against murder, not the logical response?
The answer of course is squeamishness, but squeamishness can be overcome. As Camus pointed out there is little defense in purely secular thought against "rational terror".
Hell is never so near as when we are faced with fanatics determined to create heaven on earth.

Authorities shocked after 3rd man OD's in Buck's apartment complex.

losangeles.cbslocal.com/2019/09/17/ed-…
What is the posterior probability a third man will OD given two others did in the same place?
If the authorities had only taken a good statistics course they might have seen it coming.

The interesting thing is that "thoughts and prayers" are dismissed as delusional and ineffective but a private thought, captured in some diary or personal email, is ironically grounds for lifelong condemnation.
The publics of the early 21st century are transitioning from the mindset of the 20th when only "matter" was real to an increasing realization that information is just as real. When a Ferrari crashes against a wall all the atoms are still there but the information is gone.
The wrecker drops the Ferrari at the scrapyard, every atom of it, but lacking in a sense, its thoughts and prayers.

The problem with banning all private encryption in all circumstances is that it leaves civilians vulnerable to the insider like Ortis. People need secrecy to fight conspiracy. A finer grained solution is needed.
It should cost something to breach encryption, the cost of obtaining a warrant based on probable cause for instance. Katz vs US held you can't eavesdrop without a reason as shown by warrant.
The real protection of secrecy should repose in property rights and the 4th. Encryption is a cost hurdle, necessary but insufficient absent a legal framework.

#OTD 3 Commando Brigade leave Portsmouth for the #Falklands aboard SS Canberra.
A section of BBC News from 9th April 1982: the Soviet Union describe the UK’s task force as "an immediate threat to international peace"

Fascinating to watch, the rest can be found here:
A CIA brief from 9th April states "the Argentines are reportedly lengthening the air strip in Port Stanley to accommodate A-4, MIRAGE, PUCARA, and C-130 aircraft and reinforcing the island with additional troops and air defence equipment"

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
