Can’t we all just admit that Snowden is a limited hangout who’s sole purpose is to benefit the establishment and NSA?
The forms of spying he discusses are trivial at best (backdoors in COTS technologies) without peep said about real advances in espionage. I want to hear about how TEMPEST-based projects are so good they can passively grab memory (and encryption keys) from miles away over the air, if that machine uses DDR memory buses.
I don't care if the Scots are spying on me (after all I'm Scottish); I want to know who's spying on the spies in Scotland thereby allowing terrorists safe passage because they now the see holes in their security. Damn turtles.
If you've ever seen the spies running those programs you'll understand why it happened. They look and act much like the terrorists. Drunk on power with a feeling of invincibility (e.g. sociopaths).
Interferometry on the microwave background allows the U.S. military to track all people, weapons, and aqueous objects bigger than a thimble throughout an entire city such as Paris.
Advanced technologies allow them to know when these things are brewing, but per game theory they allow them to happen to not reveal that capability.
Encryption and Snowden have nothing to do with it. They are limited hangouts to gaslight and decrease the power of the lower echelons of government (you know, the regular people who might actually have stopped this).
Pretty simple, actually!! This model (B31) contains:
- 12VDC air pump to push water from tank into coffee pod
- 10K thermistor, stuck in the tank
- 1400 Watt heating element
I wired all three to the Arduino through a transistor for the pump, a resistor divider to use analogRead() and calculate temperature, and a mechanical relay.
The Arduino uses 4 buttons: heating element toggle, temperature up/down, and pump engage. I didn't bother with the water sense non-sense Keurig uses (to know if water is in the tank or reservoir), so it pretty much checks temperature and if it is low engages the relay. When it's done I then hit the button to dump the water through the coffee (so it's not as automated as Keurig, but better than buying a new one). Code is here:
The thing was a pain to disassemble too. It's one of those "oooooooohhhh that's how it's put together" products where you have completely destroyed the plastic tabs before you see the one magic screw holding it together.
- Electromagnetic energy (photons) at certain wavelengths will pass though brain tissue (neurons) and interact with them.
- This interaction is dependent on the neuron's polarization state (from a negative voltage (unfired), to a positive one (fired)).
- The cacophony of noise and interactions can be measured and deconvoled to show patterns.
- Groups of neurons and their polarization states can be observed (much like an fMRI scanner deconvolves magnetic impulses to show a 3D image, this system deconvoles microwave radiation from a MASER).
- The microwave carriers (which are in the GHz) operate much faster than your brain (which is KHz at best), so deconvolution and denoising techniques have plenty of data to work with.
- The radiation reflected back is in terabits per second, but your mental processes and sensory inputs are much lower, so there is a million-to-one oversampling of the data (i.e. the information is there, decoding it is key).
Obviously if I had a working system that would be my proof, but that's a widget they won't let me near! I could write volumes about this, but convincing people that it is even possible is difficult. Hopefully the graybeards and smarties out around here can piece it together. I wish I were joking, but that's up to the reader to decide. <:)
I was the lead engineer of this project in 2012-2013. To anyone thinking of getting into Intel or these types of technologies STAY AWAY. This project caused a huge scandal among the Silicon Valley elite on whether or not Hawking should be allowed to use microwave-based mind reading technologies (which are classified and he obviously cannot use). I got ensnared in politics and it has ruined my career. I have become a targetted individual like Myron May and Aaron Alexis.
Technology behind closed doors is 1000x what your typical HN reader can even imagine. The elite are good at making you think your C++ compiler, web browser, and iPad are "advanced". They aren't.
I live in constant fear now, far away from California. Don't mess with these people!!
I love Hawking and hope he gets the best, but he is being used like a pawn.
That's because the Snowden leaks are not a real threat. None of the documents contained anything about the "real" classified technologies; they only confirmed what everyone knew anyway.
If Snowden had leaked usable information about microwave weapons and quantum computers the Russians would not have merely accepted him... they'd be willing to go to war for him.
Makes you wonder if the Snowden leaks weren't just a big PsyOp on the BRICS. ;)
Don't worry!! Spread spectrum interference patterns generated with MASERs allow the NSA to reflect back what you see through your own eyes... probably from that white van parked out front.
Interferometry in the RADAR bands allows you to penetrate the cranium and reflect back the neuronal correlates of consciousness. These signals can be decoded into your inner monologue and emotions.
This is the latest rave in Silicon Valley (which used to be called Microwave Valley!). Well... not the latest, they've been working on it for decades. <:)
