There are so many other organizations worthy of donations - UNICEF, Oxfam, Partners in Health, and tons of local NGOs. Maybe it's time for Red Cross donors to look elsewhere, until they clean up their act.
The hardest parts are getting those customers and keeping them. When you are high functioning like me you can do almost anything in IT, but lack people and social skills. People and social skills are needed to market and use public relations to get those customers and you have to emotionally connect to them. You have to keep them satisfied or else they leave and go somewhere else. You have to let them know what needs your products and services meet, you have to find ways your product and services save them money and time. This is why 9 out of 10 startups fail, can't connect to people enough to get them as customers.
I'm one the road in Albuquerque and hearing commercials on the radio trying to convert older smokers to vaping. specifically it is the juul brand. the pitch is that smoking is no longer acceptable so why not vape instead? at the very end of the ad they warn that juul products contain nicotine...... hard to understand how people profiting from this go to sleep at night.
BTW truly random numbers can not be used for live communications encryption as they can not be reproduced by the recipient UNLESS they have a EXACT replica of the random numbers or its audio image in a recording (See: American SIGSALY machine during WW2). However pseudo-random numbers can be reproduced live by the recipient via prearrangement but not easily by an outsider (See: German ENIGMA machine also WW2 vintage).
POTUS Thomas Jefferson invented a really amazing encryption machine in 18th century using a quasi-pseudo-random arrangement which utilized the ancient encryption art of Steganography. (See: Jefferson Wheel Cypher). It helped us beat the Brits here in USA and abroad. :P
Thank you sir for digging into this. In fact, Chinese government monitors everything they want, such as qq, wechat, weibo and emails. They know your eaxact locations and behaviors and they ignore human rights. They just want to put you into jail if you say bad of the government.
Linux "sucks". True. For last two weeks I was trying to install a distro, that will work wirh my Broadcom internet adapter, but no success. Also BT did not work well. Of course I could get Wifi to work after a heavy and bloody battle, and only at 2.4 Ghz, but then BT stopped working. The point is, that all those are working fine under Windows 10. No hassle. My question is, why there is no Linux distro, that can work just fine out of the box?
I am not a system programmer specialist like 95% of PC users. Millions of people would like to install Linux, but just cant do it, due to lack of knowledge. Average person, just want to download, install and run a system, without thinking of finding lost drvers, kernels, waste time to search internet, to find a solution. I went trough dozens of distros, and could not find one, that would work with my ACEPC T11 mini PC. Windows 10 just do.
Gee, is almost like the political grubs had absolutely no idea about encryption and how it works and how it will be virtually impossible to implement these stupid laws. Who would have thought that's the case? So very disappointed in all politicians at the moment, in my opinion, they're all scum bags
"...in this case for my wife’s photo blog". Stunning bird photographs, really exceptional. And nice work on that responsive static album generator. Now time to continue reading about CPython byte code...
