    • Intel Faces Stability Issues with Latest Security Firmware Patch

      Latest Firmware "security patch" from Intel used to address the Spectre flaw (or feature?) is causing some stability issues in data centers. The update causes the system to reboot randomly.

      Intel says they have reproduced the issue and are working on another update as soon as they figure out what causes it.

    • Cliven Bundy standoff case tossed out of Court on Monday

      "The government's conduct in this case was indeed outrageous," said U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro. "There has been flagrant misconduct, substantial prejudice and no lesser remedy is sufficient."

    • US Government Evaluating Blockchain Contract Opportunities

      The US government is evaluating using Blockchain to run portions of the economy. They are claiming it would be implemented for purposes including quelling corruption and increasing transparency. This new Blockchain phenomenon has been a sticking thorn in the US government's side for the past year or two, and now Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin is saying he doesn't want Bitcoin to become the next Swiss Banking alternative. Mnuchin also happens to sit on the Davos Blockchain panel this year.

      Davos + Blockchain

      The vehicles will be wrapped around Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) with foreign (perhaps even domestic investments such as done with Bonds) investors to fund certain activities of the US government, without incurring additional National debt. In other words Uncle Sam is about to get into the ICO space by rolling their own ICO's.

      Portions of various intergovernmental departments are evaluating use of Blockchain in the following public sectors:

      • The General Services Administration (GSA)
      • Department of Treasury
      • US State Department
      • Department of Defense (DoD)
      • Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
      • National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

      Conclusion? In my opinion, Uncle Sam wants a piece of the ICO :pie:.

    • Oil is in the Sweet Spot - Operators open their Wallets

      This week we seen the Trump and Putin summit unfold which made waves across all spectrums of dimension.

      Heres my Ball

      One of the things they discussed was how the oil price was favorable. This clearly puts some common interest across all oil producing nations, and sprinkles some insight on what is to come.

      There is speculation that this is a priming of the pump of sorts - to float Aramco on a American exchange. Which valued market cap is north of $1 Trillion (USD). This liquidity event would mop up a lot of capital around the world. The investment bankers make out like bandits.

      Other buzz around the Tech business space tells a more rosy story of oil execs loosening the wallets and spending more lavishly on CapEx. Which means at current levels of roughly $70/barrel ($45/barrel 1 year ago) there is enough profit to reinvest in the business in the form of new hardware and software.

      The speculation is once oil hits around $100 a barrel, approximately 12-18 months, Aramco will get listed. Who knows if this is accurate, those are the feelings on the streets. The Trump and Putin meeting gave insight on what is important. That sweet, sweet crude.

    • Latest Syrian Chemical Attack Tied to Saudi's?

      Questionable conduct.

      This week, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) liberated some Eastern Ghouta farmlands between Shifouniyeh and Douma and discovered a well-equipped chemical laboratory run by Saudi-backed Islamist terrorists. Not a single Western reporter showed up to investigate the facility.

      The word is mum? Good work 'reporters'...

    • Elizabeth Warren's CFPB - Slush Fund For Democrats Crumbles

      A Dodd-Frank upstart, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), spearheaded by Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren is getting some hot attention in the last few months. The bureau is known for issuing enforcement actions in the form of Consent Orders as a type of a penalty vehicle.

      Leandra English, the previous CFPB Director was pushed out by newly appointed Mick Mulvaney, who came in to oversee the opaque bureau and the shady slush fund practices. English threw a fit, and filed a restraining order against Trump, which was tossed out of federal court.

      English, who previously served in the White House as a senior Obama adviser, insisted she was the “rightful” acting director, and filed a temporary restraining order against Trump to block Mulvaney from taking over. A federal judge denied the order Tuesday, but her legal team has vowed to continue fighting, arguing Trump is attempting an “end-run” on the bureau.

      English, Schumer, Warren

      English, Pelosi, Warren, Schumer

      English is now represented by Gupta Wessler in another lawsuit against Trump, but not using her own funds. Instead, some other benefactor is paying the legal fees, but Deepak Gupta wouldn't reveal those money sources.

      While under directorship of English, CFPB acted like a slush fund for Democrats, cutting checks at a ratio of 593 Demcrat to 1 Rebublican. With other checks totaling $14 million to GMMB Inc, which did political ads for Obama and HRC. As well as additional political donations of $46,611 to Clinton, $13,190 to Warren, and $19,988 to Obama.

      An audit in September 2016 showed CFPB spent 61% of all fines on victims compensation, and 5.5% on consumer education. The spending doesn't go directly to victims. The distrobution is handled by contractors who dole out the money, but not after billing CFPB at $80/hr for Analysts who get paid $17/hr. Which simply means only a portion of that 61% ends up in consumers pockets. The following contractors are involved, and maybe more:

      • Rusk Consulting
      • Epiq Systems

      To review payments made to CFPB through their Consent Orders, take a look here. They are sitting on a $54 million unalocated balance as of September 30, 2017.
