I'm not sure exactly what I'm reading here but , I'm trying to understand. Please excuse me okay? Im gonna ask you an honest Question and I would like an honest answer okay? How do you feel About using your work to spy on ppl 24 hours a day. How do you feel about that? Do you feel it's okay because of others doing it Do you have Any reservations About this ?? I'm not trying to be An asshole here okay? I'm honestly interested in what you( As an informed person) thinks about these issues?

I'm not sure what rule I've broken here. Id invite you to review some other comments here and compare them to my own and email me so we can come to a easy conclusion

vor 7 Jahrendiscuss

I'm glad we both agree. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. The web ran just fine before the surveillance economy took it over. This needs to change-pronto

vor 7 Jahrendiscuss

Dang please email me and tell me specifically what I've done wrong here. I'm not trying to shitpost, I m pointing out the obvious FYI. Perhaps you could step back little bit and try to understand my point of view before threaten me

I'm sorry if I offended you Daniel. I offer my sincere apologies as I've seen the good work you do here and know your job is not easy. That being said I'd also like to add that these parasite corporations who keep pushing the envelope in regards to maximizing profits due to tracking thier users 24 hours a day It just needs to stop I'm sorry if I touched nerve but this needs to be said. I'm not going to say millions of ppl are worried about this. I will say that I'm old enough to have followed Google from thier early days( And yes I made a bundle on thier stocks in the 2ktens) It's a whole new world now. Google is behaving like a parasite by hoovering up every single data point that they can,and yes it's legal and within thier ToS to do this - it's bad. It's probably evil. We could go on and on About it( how they destroy every single thing they touchit-And yes you can call me a hippocrate for using a Gmail Address and I accept your criticism( it's not my only one. Daniel if you have to shut me down again because I've pinched another nerve,so be it-

When you say "we" are on track to destroy this world .it seems to me that you are denying the geological record that shows climate change is a given.our weather systems and our planets atmospheric chemistry has never been stable. I'm not going to drop links attempting to argue my point as you seem to have made up your mind. I will say I'm concerned about the planets rapidly changing atmospheric chemistry but, according to the " accepted " geological record it has changed so many times in 4.6 billion years that for me to take the current " Sky is falling because we broke it" talking points is just a non starter. I really appreciate the ppl doing modern science in this area but it, to me is just pointing out obvious things.

Our species has the privelige of harnessing these natural resources provided to us. and yes there are negative effects of using these resources, Along with a lot of positive ones( like being able to discuss this issue with ppl all over the planet in real time) The world will not be destroyed only changed- and change is the only thing that remains constant

It's not how the sausage is made that matters. The sausage is making ppl sick. I have no doubt you in your siloed Dev team know very little about what exactly is happening with your final products. We outside of your bubble are growing tired of your superiors growth at ANY cost company policies. Take heed bro. Time is getting kind of short. The surveillance economy is gonna bust. I'm gonna help break it- Any way I can. I'm not the only one thinking Along these lines

vor 7 Jahrendiscuss

I'm not arguing with you as you seem to have already made up your mind on this issue. Please I ask you- enlighten me on this golden source of info that caused you to be so one sided. Drop some links from reputable sources?

vor 7 Jahrendiscuss

You should come to southern California. Loads of poor ppl living on the beach. Generation after generation. I'm not judging because that's my roots. Even in exclusive neighborhoods the poor, even dirt poor, outnumber the top of the food chain by dozens to one. Living close to the beach without an insurance company backing you is a normal thing here

The problem is showing a direct correlation between disasters and climate change. I'm in the boat with ppl who think this stuff may be caused by human activity but I think that the science is not exactly clear on this. There is so much info and dis- info it's hard to find enough clear data to take a side.

That bugged me at radio shack I would always tell them my name was Herman Munster 1313 mockingbird lane. This town this state 66666 Phone was *867-5309 I even used this name as my warranty id and received warrantee service using that name. Some of us had strange ideas where this lack of privacy was leading way back in the 90s. Back then I just didn't want any more junk mail or cold calling salesmen calling my house. Comparing then from the stuff that's going on now reminds me of that "Boiling the frog" analogy. I think the froggie should try to jump out while there is still time

Please. Don't fall into the trap of underestimating others intelligence. Even that typical Facebook user from another state has valid reasons and thier opinion or values are no better than my( or Yours) I'm not trying to argue one bit okay? But how exactly do you know the Panama papers are legitimate? Do you have an inside source or did you hear about this issue the same way I did? I agree with you that it fits perfectly into my own world view and I caution you and myself to not take stuff like that as a golden source of true info. No matter how much I'd like to think it's all true, in this day and age one must be more careful about accepting sources of info as gods honest truth because there are folks out there who spend thier lives,fortunes and passions just to mislead or misinform allegedly informed ppl like me( and you)

Isn't it up to each viewer to determine the difference. Having some authority telling me what is or isn't real is not a world I'd choose the participate in. Let the user decide for themselves- one person's propaganda == another person's trusted source

Other metals like the ones you named have an oxidation problem over time. Gold does not have that problem and contacts will wear thru thier plating by mechanical usage . Gold does not oxidize in the normal earth atmosphere. That's why you can see ancient gold in for instance : Egyptian relics that still shine - no oxidation.. It's nearly a perfect electrical conductor. There are better ( for the pedantic chemists here) But gold plated connectors are used by industry for reliability

Old electronic equipment is the good stuff. The older it is- the better. The manufacturers have now created methods to use less gold. Equipment from the 60s is coveted. Mainframes and old giant mechanical printers have lots of gold in them. Telcom equipment, Rf equipment same thing- lots of easily accessible Noble metals. Today's scrap electronics have much less recovery value but it's still profitable, even in California. If you follow the correct formulas( developed in the 1800s and not a secret) the waste products from this process are not classified as hazardous. Yes it takes time for your reactions to complete but, it's not like you have to babysit this stuff. All the waste is converted into non hazardous elements easily thru cheap effective chemical reactions. I've said too much already but, if anyone can get ahold of a large quantity of cellphones or better yet older electronics from the past century I'd be glad to help you recover your gold thru environmentally legal methods that aren't a secret but are just not well known. Hit me up in my profile

Simple fact, Mercury does not dissolve gold. It amalgamates with certain metals making them easier to collect in one mass rather than having tiny bits all over the place. Mercury use has very little to do with gold mining or recovery today. Repeat: I said it's used very little- not that it is never used. Its much easier and more economical to just use aqua regia to get the gold away from the base metals. Gold recovery from electronics is done in semi- laboratory conditions and the gold is refined using the same conditions which are a far cry from some guy in the hills digging up dirt and spilling his waste into a mountain stream. Modern refiners shun Hg. It's hard to clean up the waste to acceptable levels. That's a big deal nowadays. No one wants to poison the environment. Acid based extraction techniques are much cleaner,easier and more environmentally friendly. Just like everything else- it comes down to profits and it's just more profitable to use acids instead of Mercury. Hell it's even more profitable to use cyanide to extract the gold. I know a little bit about this stuff- AMA?

Gold is recovered from modern electronic equipment by many people in the USA in a profitable and environmentally clean way. You don't hear much about it due to the people doing it don't want to advertise thier success. Modern electronics have much less gold or other valuable metals in them nowadays but wherever you see an electronics recycling event there are modern day gold miners. The key word here is " Gold refining"

Thank you so much for your posting. This is the exact kind of thing I enjoy reading here

vor 7 Jahrendiscuss

I've felt the same way here many times. Although I'm trying to keep it under control now. I understand the mods motivation a little bit better

Tortoises are mostly vegetarian although I've seen them eat garden snails. Turtles however are cold blooded predators that eat meat all the time
