Who Owns Guy Fawkes Day?

Who Owns Guy Fawkes Day?
An increasing number of people around the world are remembering the 5th of November and each year the memories evoked diverge.
In 1605 (Guy Fawkes Day -1), a group of rebels including the famous one now on the mask, had an idea: blow up the English Parliament with King James in it, presumably to start over afterwards over with a government closer to the people. The "Gunpowder Plot" failed when Fawkes was discovered "guarding" his bomb.
James felt this operational shortcoming was further proof of his divine right to rule and it is the celebration of Fawke's failure that is the basis of the holiday. For 3 centuries it was mandatory to celebrate the squashing of rebellion and burn an effigy of Fawkes; the popular masks are actually a prop, part of the fun that surrounds an otherwise chilling reminder of what happens to rebels in England.
It wasn't until the 1980s that Alan Moore's V for Vendetta character started the backfiring of the intended celebration of Guy Fawkes day. As a modern day Guy Fawkes V exploded empty buildings and only shed the blood of those that had previously hurt him personally. The classic graphic novel was made into a film and in the 21st century Guy Fawkes masks were used by protestors as a means to build upon the emotions of the V character and achieve the anonymity that characterises the contemporary pursuit of freedom. Online activists Anonymous used the mask to transpose their characters from text to video.
When online rebels created the darknet as a new kind of haven, the symbolism of November 5th was brought along with proclamations and celebrations on the day itself (with free drugs replacing bonfires). The anonymity of V has become an even stronger symbol in this realm where anonymity is an existential condition. Then the King struck back.
On November 5th 2014 the darknet was struck by operation Onymous, with American and allied law enforcement shutting down sites, seizing bitcoins, and arresting de-anonymized participants. The rebels were virtually executed.
More than any other day November 5th is a living dialogue between people and government. It has evolved from England and gunpowder to worldwide networks and masked protestors.
There is no reason to believe anyone will ever forget the 5th of November.

Black cat fireworks company own it
Alan Moore might not own it but he helped bring it back to life with V for Vendetta
It wasn't to start the government over, it was to replace a protestant monarch with a catholic one. The will of the people had nothing to do with it.
YES! The Gunpowder Plot was such a hit for King James that he was able to raise taxes because of it!

10,000 times more Americans Are Killed From Medical Errors Than Terrorism
A Johns Hopkins Study of preventable medical errors highlights just how stupid our society is in its priorities.
Thus the way to fix this is to make a fear based business out of the technical solution. So if it's say "AI diagnosis to complement your Doctor's opinion" this will catch on and save lives.
Yes if the doctors can sell it and big pharma markets the AI to the doctors.
Or we can just do it right.

Activity Around Distant Star May be Alien Civilization
The Kepler telescope has discovered a mass that isn't a planet and may not be natural at all.
You're referring to a possible Dyson sphere around Tabbi's star. Scary stuff if it is. Any civilization that can build on that scale could wipe us out on a whim. I don't buy the notion that an advanced race would be benevolent. Neither does Steven Hawking. Just look at human history and what happened when a primitive society was introduced to an advanced one. See how that worked out for native Americans.
Yes its all relative but that wasn't an advanced society that wiped out the natives in USA. You have to imagine you learn a few things on the way to Dyson sphere generation.
either way the fuckers have evolved past us so why worry, we are in their hands.
Very cool, would I be too dumb for thinking something like this could be a gate that uses the power of the star to make a portal?
Are you talking about a wormhole? Creating it and keeping it stabilized would require a massive amount of energy. A star would be a great source, although it wouldn't be enough. It requires more energy than the sun will put out during its entire lifetime. One question: How do they determine where they'll end up if they go into the hole? That's the bigger issue.
What's bigger a little bigger or a little bigger's baby?

That sounds like a great way to harvest energy from a star, maybe not for a portal but who the hell knows?

When will AI replace every job?
Seems there are more articles like this every day and that AI is accelerating faster and faster. If AI is better than us at everything what are we going to do all day and how are we going to earn money?
If there's a nice AI feeding my VR do you think I care about a job?
Why bother when muggles are already willing to work for it?
To understand that, you first have to understand who have control of the world. eventually you find the source being that of the "Red Shield" family. which then gives you their agenda, they see the rest of us as "goyim" having a belief we are to serve them as upgraded animals. So, they have to destroy the existing system to usher in a new having what we term "image of the beast" possibly representing AI as the brains behind their new agenda. We, therefore will enter a stage where the elite/red shield family give a choice to either obey and conform to them or to be hunted down like sheep for slaughter. The ones who accept will receive a mark to accept credits. China recently started this endeavour which fits perfectly with their zionist regime and called it "Social Credit" http://uk.businessinsider.com/china-social-credit-system-punishments-and-rewards-explained-2018-4?r=US&IR=T, however, those who have understanding will flee from their demise into the wilderness for this has been written already. They call themselves Jews but are not (Revelation 2:9) thus the third temple will not be as they claim, possibly even having AI rule over the population whilst the AC rule over their temple.
If any AI and robots do the work without getting paid it doesn't sound like we need a whole lot of money.
This. The whole idea of humans working for money starts changing when all of the work is done by AI and robots. Think how different a shared self driving car is to a couple of clunkers parked in every garage on stand by, it up-ends the premise of cars, transport, housing to say nothing of alcohol use, multi-tasking and God knows what else. Now think of everything else being done by robots and you and your friends spending lots of time in VR, it's not like you're going to take off the glasses and work at some factory in this scenario.
I think his graph answers your question: Pretty Fuckin Soon
Whenever I see a graph of impeding economic doom I take it with a grain of salt. The trends people extrapolate always miss the same thing: innovation. In this case were probably not able to see what all this labor replacement enables for humans, and whatever it enables is likely to create a new economic opportunity we dont see yet.
They can have my job :)

did world war 2 merely stall an inevitable trend of fascism?
i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.
Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.
First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...
When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times
And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.
There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.
Fascism isn't inevitable if people get off their asses and vote.
That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.
Ha this really looks funny now - people have since voted almost exclusively for fascism!
World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today as much as anything.
Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.
Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.
"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"
As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

AI So What. There will always be work.
This humble and intelligent professor explains how machine replacement of jobs works out for people; it's always in ways that are new and unimaginable. It is certain we are in for a great time with A.I. enabling us to to incredible stuff.
in my opinion, there are some "things" machines/AI will never be able to do. inspiration for instance.
fear of AI dominance, as i think, comes mainly from our knowledge-without-understanding of the fact that we are not doing some things that we are supposed to do.

Isn't inspiration a fairly consistent pattern? New inputted data connects to stored data in a way that re-organizes it.
AI are and will be good for work and a suitable replacement for humans, but even when that happens AI will always need us in case something goes wrong. I mean humans created AI, so in the end we’re always gonna have the more important jobs. AI is just there to do jobs in a more efficient way.
im not so sure, anything a human does to recover the system seems doable with a very separate AI
Yes but conflict between AI's might be the most dangerous thing we are looking at here. We are incidental casualties from that perspective. By we I mean humans :)
Yes all the Scifi is about humans vs AI but AI on AI is such a real possibility especially when you consider the fact that governments are mega funding military robots to fight each other.
I totally disagree. AI is the continuation of the same pyramid model of which history has proven that it's bound to fail. The resources needed are of a scale that requires heavy (and never ending) financial investments. The food eaten by AI is data. The provider: humanity.
The larger the scale of data one can feed, the better the AI (and it's owners) can fingerprint, the more refined it's targeting.
Let's take an example of "AI" that we all know:
Software Antivirus:
Supposed to be the guardian that protects an operating system against 'threats' and 'threat actors using a variety of techniques to identify them. Pattern based detection, behavioural analysis and heuristics (an expensive word for: 'guesstimating' or an 'educated' guess). Your antivirus is part of a swarm that provides the antivirus vendor with data on new threats and their geographic impact.
However:
The data you provide is 'free', there is no reward or any form of renumeration for the infrastructure that you provided. A computer is not free, internet is not free, the power needed is also not free and although there are free AV solutions, most demand a subscription fee.
In return you get a product and service which does not provide any guarantees that it will adequately protect you against 'threats'.
In reality AV is becoming a relic.
Human intelligence has outsmarted AV and found ways to circumvent it using the 'Trojan horse' approach or by simple social engineering.
As there was no incentive to find or report security vulnerabilities, the data needed to feed pattern/behavioural dried up.
Heuristics is gambling with historical data, if that data is worthless so are heuristics.
And so is any form of AI hence all media and marketing efforts to portray it as the next best evolution. The driver: more profit less people.
The touted theories about a minimal wage without having to work for it are a continuation of AI Utopia. It would make people dependent on their nations through a socialist measure.
That spells national socialism and fascism.
Think twice before you give out data for free in exchange for a freemium service.

Decreased Brain Plasticity from Modafinil
tldr: Excessive use of modafinil in young brains (<30 years old) may decrease brain plasticity. Further study is required for scientific proof.
This is basically a send up on anything that can be considered a "cognitive enhancer" - except for some reason amphetamines. I wonder who funded this study.
Doesn't matter who funded it, we count an adversarial systems to find truths. I'm a moda user and it makes intuitive sense to me, focus is the antithesis of plasticity.

What is the best DIY bong?
In a fucked up town w zero head shops so I gotsta ask...
Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.
The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.
You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.
If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.
Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.
If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.
Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.
The Pen Pipe! Just turn the metal tip into a bowl brah
Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!
I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.
where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou
When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this
and this is not the Hacker News, chill.
Consider the Apple Bong.
Dude if Apple made a bong...
The Genius Bar would suddenly make sense.
It would be the most overpriced worthless bong. Haha
Toilet paper bong is the other end of the market
That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple
Haha awesome
Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

how hard is it to get skills anymore?
the growing divide between rich and poor, the loss of jobs to immigrants and robots, youth unemployment, nearly every economic problem is caused by a lack of value producing skills.
but why? nearly everything you could do in this world can be learned for free with this little invention called the world wide web. i think you have heard of it even if you don't have an expensive computer.
a p.o.s. android phone and free wifi has you in many of the finest classrooms on earth, you don't need a wing named after your grandfather anymore.
if you don't have the patience for this there is a youtube video for 21st century dummies on nearly every lesson on earth, pause, rewind, learn at your own pace for free.
yeah sorry, the assembly line that paid for 3 weeks off isn't hiring anymore, neither is the lord's farm or those stone hauling gigs down in egypt. things have changed - for the better.

This is true from the perspective of individuals, but what about societies. Societies like governments take most f our resources under the auspices of producing better outcomes.
If society says yeah anyone can do anything if they play the game right that's a fail. It should be a matter of course that an honest and motivated person is going to do well but that's not what we have. The only sure thing in our society is access to power.

True but I'm not sure about "anymore". It's always been possible for motivated people to acquire skills, it's easier now but I don't think that is going to change the dynamic. People are afraid and or lazy when it comes to pursuing things that aren't right up in their face.
So then it becomes a kind of responsibility to put it up in their face.
It's yo mommas responsibility.

There are 2 ways for a society to get power over a person, agreement or force. If it's truly agreement then there aren't any great philosophical dilemmas over what it does because it's implicit to any action.
If it's force the society will operate in the interest of those that control that force.

I have researched this one a bit. 23 and me is pretty easy and convenient but it is incomplete and can be a little misleading. I suggest you get their test and then run your data through promethease for better insights. I'd be happy to help anyone that needs it.
Too right I recently got the result that I have a "32 percent increased chance” of developing Parkinson’s disease. Freaked me out for some time till I learned that means I have a 2% chance of getting the disease.
You don't need to bother with 23andme and their prices (several hundred bucks if I recall). If you are willing to share the data (and let's face it that's gonna happen anyway) you can get a free sequencing from the Personal Genome Project.

I am for the idea but I have to vote against the initiative, it is terminally biased. Here is the problem: the "eliminate" option can not be fairly represented. People that don't want to register are presumably not registered to begin with. If they do register a throw away account for the initiative it will be a noob account with little weight per vote. I can't think of any way to mitigate this problem in the public format here. With biggyscript you could do a few things I suggest this approach or changing the structure of the initiative.

It's a bit vague if you ask me because it means *everything* that comes after us: AI, cyborgs, augmented humans and god knows what else. I prefer "trans-humanism" which implies people transcending the human body.
Post Humanism means information tech based evolution whereas transhumanism means the "everything"
That's a lot like the question "When is the Singularity?" the moment that artificial intelligence passes humans'. A lot of people laughed at Kurzweil's predictions for this happening in the 2020s, but with all the progress in the last year and the exponential curve this is following he might be right.

ordered these. They never arrived. Got full refund. Took two months. Ordered again from same vendor. Will report outcome.
Paid for this two weeks ago, havn't heard anything. How long to arrive. Starting to get concerned.

two weeks to arrive with other purchase with vendor. He is good to go.
I 100% call bullshit on this vendor, look at all of these fake feedbacks.

This isn't at all incriminating in itself, if you've ever bought anything here you are asked for feedback right after you order and lots of people do this even before they got receive order in the mail. They are either experienced with the vendor, trying to put pressure on him by stating they are waiting or just shmoozing.
However I don't see anything here that looks encouraging about this vendor, especially his/her lack of response. If I don't see anything from them in 24 hours I will downvote them.

there are no accounts, no commissions, no fees. it is free to post items, posts, and profiles on little biggy; they are all open content. privileges to do so are a function of your reputation.
