Apparently there is a keylogger in the Windows 10 Technical Preview that sends all data to Microsoft as you type.

I’m too busy with other things to run Wireshark and actually figure it out for myself, so for the moment I won’t be using the Tech Preview any longer, at least not until I can take measures to prevent this.

I understand why they did this, I just don’t want any part of it. Just an FYI for anyone else using it.

But won’t seem so absurd when they happen:

1) The US will invade Canada for its water within 50 years (no, I do not support this) and better post-GW farmland.

2) It will be far easier to “uplift” animal intelligence than it will be to create a real AI. This will lead to a new form of slavery before real AI happens.

3) Most children will be implanted with GPS monitoring chips “for their safety” when they are born within ~25 years.

4) Alaska will be the US’s most populous state by 2200.

5) Much of the water in Great Lakes will be drained/pipelined to support Great Plains farmland.

I have no problem believing that many people drink this much. I’ve seen it in person.

My mom routinely drank as many as 18 12oz beers in a single night, and then went to work the next day. This was a woman who while not skinny was short and couldn’t have weighed more than 180 pounds.

One weekend I remember her polishing off around 60 beers.

Yeah, she was fun to live with.

Also, they should go ahead and solve that pesky P = NP problem like tonight while they are at it.

Can we get someone who knows something about computer science up in here please? Damn.

Coincidentally, I found this piece which covers same of the ground I did – but more eloquently and with less venom — the other day about how it’s to the benefit of the existing power structures that social movements on the Left use identity politics to tear themselves apart.

I am not writing to tell you that we should all give up and hold hands and be friends, that none of the issues within social movements matter. I am not writing to say that we are all one and we should ignore the very real and present injustices within social movements in the interest of taking down the man. But I am writing to say that active policing within social movements, distinguished from legitimate concerns about equality, is harmful, and serves only one purpose: Maintaining the existing status quo.

I wonder if it is even possible for humans to stop policing so stringently who is in and/or out of the tribe? It seems built in to us.

However, much in the past has seemed innate that really was not. So I don’t know. But it is certainly doing the Left no favors at the moment.
