The Twisted Story Of The Asylum That Inspired Stranger Things: Pennhurst State School

Pennhurst State School held nearly 3,000 people in facilities designed for 500. In 1913, Pennsylvania declared disabled people "unfit for citizenship" and "a menace to the peace." They built Pennhurst to hide them. For sixty years, no camera ever got inside. Children were tied to beds. Adults lived in cribs. Residents who could speak when they arrived lost that ability after years inside. Then in 1968, a journalist named Bill Baldini walked through the gates with a film crew—and what he recorded changed American law forever.

Then there's "Facial Recognition Software." It was first used in 2007. Now a number of police departments in American cities have purchased this same software searching the sidewalks and streets.

It is also being used on a number of red light cameras to positively identify who was driving the car when they issue traffic violation tickets..

Keep in mind if the good guys can get their hands on this kind of software, so can the bad guys.

I can tell you from experience that YouTube has been using this for the last 4 years or so. Every time I upload a video, YouTube gleans it for copywrite infringement. The same is also true for audio tracks as well. A few years ago I loaded about 5 of my completely original sound canvas midi synthesizer generated musical sequences and 3 of them got tagged for infringement. While this did not result in me losing my channel.. I was warned. I then removed them.

What does all this imply?* That the government's black ops are constantly scouring YouTube video files for potential terrorists/trouble makers.

*Others (at all levels) in law enforcement are seeking out various perpetrators.

* That the entertainment industry is clamping down, and sometimes suing individuals for copywrite infringement violations.

* That large corporations can monitor who's saying what about them and whether elect to take legal actions.

* That the "bad guys" can get a hold of this same technology.

* There's no such thing as true anonymity on the 'net'... including mine.

I Think The Stock Market Is Rigged

Dow soars for 2nd straight day — climbs more than 800 points "Stocks rose sharply in morning trading on Wall Street Tuesday and clawed back more of the ground they lost in a miserable several weeks."

Sucker's game
We were told previously share values went down because of rising interest rates. Then yesterday went up because of "rising interest rates". Here's what I think. The stock market is for suckers. The big boys can do algorithm based flash computer trades. The average sucker doesn't stand a chance. By the time the average schmuck tries to sell off shares the big boys already unloaded them. Thus the big boys always get to sell off high while the little guy, waiting in line, is forced to sell lower then they intended.

At least in blackjack everyone knows how the rules are stacked against them. In the stock market don't expect brokers to educate the average Joe Blow. Plus brokers make money win, lose or draw on each trade.

Here's how the house always wins.. 

Still think you can match wits with the rich boys computer programs?
