Here Is What Facebook Won’t Tell You About Message Encryption

In the world of individual privacy and data security, this could be the ultimate irony. Facebook, the company that has taken more fire than any other for misusing, abusing, and losing user data, has become the last line of defense in the fight against government access to that same user data. Led by the U.S. and U.K., Facebook is under increasing pressure to delay plans to expand encryption across its platforms until backdoors can be added to enable government agencies access to user content.
But is everything as it seems? Has Facebook really turned away from its casual approach to user data to become the poster child for user privacy? Facebook has its own dilemma around monetizing data on an encrypted platform, so what motive does it have to promote security at the expense of its own access? Unsurprisingly, the answer is that Facebook’s agenda is not quite the surprise it may have seemed.
Quick recap. Despite building a business around the monetization of user data, Facebook also owns WhatsApp, the world’s preeminent messaging platform, now used by some 1.6 billion users monthly. Back in 2016, WhatsApp completed its deployment of end-to-end encryption. For the first time, a universally popular messaging service had given up the ability to access the content it was transmitting.

Scientists Just Made Microplastic From Beyond Meat’s Hero Ingredient

The University of Cambridge found a way to potentially solve the microplastic problem using Beyond Meat’s hero ingredient: plant-based pea protein.
California-based vegan meat brand Beyond Meat uses pea protein in its meat-like plant-based burgers and sausages. Unlike soy protein, pea protein is hypoallergenic—making it a more favorable source of protein. It’s also available in high quantities.
However, UK firm Xampla, a spin-out from the university, has found another way to use the ingredient. The firm has developed the “world’s first” plant-based protein to replace the microplastics in everyday items.
Inspired by the process spiders use to turn protein into silk, the start-up re-assembles plant proteins, such as pea proteins, into new structures to create films and microcapsules.
Xampla’s plant protein-based material is able to decompose “naturally and fully” in a matter of weeks. This makes it a better packaging alternative to traditional plastics. These can take hundreds to thousands of years to fully decompose.

On 16 September 2007, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded their Emmy for “Outstanding Reality Program” to My Life on the D-List, a show detailing the travails of Kathy Griffin, a stand-up comedienne, and television bit player. (The series title was a sly joke in that Hollywood is presumed to have three strata of celebrity status: A-list, B-list, and C-list. A D-list celebrity would, therefore, be an oxymoron.)

Israeli biologists devised a strategy to jump-start the economy while stopping the spread or resurgence of the coronavirus.
Professors Uri Alon and Ron Milo of Israel’s elite Weizmann Institute developed a revolutionary method to get Israelis back to work, without risking a massive outbreak of the deadly coronavirus.
The two scientists incorporated knowledge from the fields of epidemiology and economics to create a scientific model that relies on a staggered approach that safely allows Israelis to return to work and other public places and workplaces without causing a new outbreak.
In the clip below, they explain their novel “10-4” routine, which “could suppress the epidemic while allowing sustainable economic activity.”

Could this be true!
Container Ship crosses from China to the U.S. in just 5 days.
What a ship…..no wonder ‘Made in China ‘ is displacing North American made goods big time. This monster transports goods across the Pacific in just 5 days!! Another two will soon be commissioned.
These ships were commissioned by Wal-Mart to get their imported goods from China.
They hold an incredible 15,000 containers and have a 207-foot deck beam!
The full crew is just 13 people on a ship longer than a US Aircraft Carrier, which has a crew of 5,000. With its 207′ beam, it is too big to fit through the Panama or Suez Canals.
It is strictly transpacific. Cruise speed: 31 knots.
The goods arrive four days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots)on a China -to California run.
91% of Wal-Mart products are made in China .
So this behemoth is hugely competitive even when carrying perishable goods.
The ship was built in five sections. The sections are floated together and then welded.The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building and has 11 cargo crane rigs that can operate simultaneously unloading the entire ship in less than two hours.
Cargo capacity – 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 cubic feet)
Crew – 13 people!
First trip – Sept. 08, 2006
Construction cost – US $145,000,000 + Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year.
Editorial Comment!
A recent documentary in late March on the History Channel noted that all of these containers are shipped back to China, EMPTY! Yep, that’s right.
— We send nothing back on these ships.
What does that tell you about the current financial state of the west in crisis?
So folks, just keep on buying those imported goods (mostly gadgets) until you run out of money.
Then you may wonder what’s the cause of unemployment. (Maybe even your job) in the US, UK, Canada England & even in Australia?
