This is a classical Look-over-here strategy .

To much reporting about what the Dodge brothers are doing to the government and to people's private data, Tesla dealers burning, Tesla stock dropping, but...
... "look over here, Mars, cool? Right? Cool!"

Except that now the reaction is, "So the idiot will go to Mars next year???

While the image boost part of his strategy might not work, at least we're talking about Mars now, so that part still worked.

Yes.

It is especially funny, when the same company produces a variation with all natural colors for the EU market and a slightly more colorful artificial one for the US.

But the tendency to pour color into everything, I wouldn't blame it all on the FDA

Maybe if people had some cooking classes in school, they'd learn that sugar coating isn't bright white unless you add titanium dioxide, mint ice cream normally doesn't turn green, and cooked vegetables don't have the same bright color as fresh ones.

Latest thing I found: Green food color in pickles.

Tl; DR

Not a backdoor, but bad design, common to most BT chip manufacturers.
Not a problem for cheap IOT design, but on systems with multiple trust levels.

In WW2 Germans secretly listened to the BBC to get the real News on how the war was going. And the best propaganda the BBC could broadcast was the truth. I'll leave the comparison to present day media politics as exercise to the reader.

You bet!
It goes like this:

They of course need healthy children for their adrenochrome program.

• They outlaw pollutants, because they harm children the most.
• They want to get mercury and lead out of the environment, because it hurts kids the most (And they would lose the organic label.)
• Of course they are interested in fewer kids getting shot.
• They try to fund programs that make sure all kids have enough food. (Easy to see through this one.)

In short, they try to do everything to make sure kids' future is safer and better. And you are the only one who can stop them!

You people should work for the government.

Entering the US you had to check a form that you are not planning to kill the president.

Or: As long as the sabotage can be tracked and the social consequences are severe enough, a cooperative model will help to remove these people from power and eventually our world will be made od milk and honey

Seriously yes.

They got the IRB exempt, because their project was just sending (later anonymized) emails to the Linux community.

Bascially research on the behaviour of a public message board, without identifying individuals. No problem there.

And the fact, that these fake patches in the emails would make their way into the kernel? Well, that part was omitted.

From their abstract:

Basically, once there is an outbreak the speed of the outbreak can best be explained by a human-human parasite transfer. Human to rat to human would be too slow for the disease to have spread that quickly.

- But that's only half the story and the rats still play an important role:
They are the slow transfer and form the reservoir for the disease. Without a second, much slower transfer method, the plaque wouldn't have been able to cross oceans and jump from continent to continent.

People don't sleep with rats in the same bed, they don't cuddle them, share their icecream cone with them or kiss them, like I've seen them doing with dogs. Rats are therefor the perfect low infection risk reservoir. But once the number of humans increases, the total risk increases and an infection will occur and spread quickly through the faster method. Once the majority of the population is wiped out, the disease can travel with rats to a new place or stay in the rat reservoir till the population has rebound.

The USA seems to be surrounded by these failing island nations like Puerto Rico and Hawaii. They just can't get their act together. Very sad.

Reading the FDA document, they only plan to ban soaps with :

Of course they fight for privacy.
Except that they call it "mining rights".

Rrright....
And after buying it, they would complain about it:
http://www.geek.com/news/dell-...

That's about the only useful sentence in the entire article. They complain about the non-standard width, the parts, the custom controllers, the space-age light weight design, all mixed together. Most of it is however just old, obsolete technology and lack of funding. And it is not true that the light weight design was a wrong move. Europe is trying to go towards lighter subway cars. The track width? Paris had at some point three different subway systems coexisting. Other cities have wide and narrow gauge with a dual-track system for the parts of the city where the lines intersect. The voltage isn't a problem, several European manufacturers build engines that can run on different voltage systems.

If there was appropriate funding, BART could update their control system and order new light weight cars with modern electronics either by (a) getting new cars from (probably) a European company offering to make their existing design a foot wider, or (b) switch some lines to standard gauge, with some lines being dual gauge.
