| Twitter Prohibited Intelligence Agencies to Spy upon Its Users Posted: 11 May 2016 12:53 AM PDT Twitter Prohibited Intelligence Agencies to Spy upon Its Users Added: Tuesday, May 10th, 2016 The microblogging service has blocked US national security agencies from purchasing bulk data on its users from a data analytics firm. Previously, American spies like the FBI and CIA were able to query Twitter data from Dataminr, the analytics company in which Twitter owns a 5% stake. Agents could view more tweets by keywords, over a longer period, than what a standard Twitter search would offer. Now Twitter has blocked any future sales, maintaining the power to veto Dataminr's contracts with its customers.  Twitter and Washington have had a tense relationship as of late, in part because of surveillance of westerners. When it comes to combating extremism, the US tech firms have voluntarily assisted, and Twitter was not an exception. It is not clear why Twitter deems selling data to American spies that it sells to private companies wrong. The microblogging service claimed that it had never authorized Dataminr or any third party to sell data to a government or intelligence agency for surveillance purposes, but a number of current and former US officials confirmed that American intelligence agencies had used Dataminr tools. It is also known that the analytics company is backed by In-Q-Tel, the non-commercial organization serving as the venture capital arm of American intelligence agencies. In the meantime, Dataminr advertised a public sector product on its website that instantly analyzed all publicly available Tweets for information related to terrorist threats, social and political unrest. It is also known that the analytics company maintains a contract with DHS. As for Twitter, the company admitted that government contracts were acceptable if they do not involve spying upon Twitter users. Posted by: sam |

| Posted: 10 May 2016 01:13 PM PDT Published on 22-12-2009 by James Newman Yesterday I lost a friend. A lot of people did. His name was Darren but you probably knew him as Downfallen. He was the urban explorer extraordinaire and modern day superhero complete with a secret identity, who would surreptitiously gain access to building sites, scale the top of towers, and take some of the most stunning photography of London you've ever seen. For me, his standout picture would be, although I'm sure many will disagree with me, the shot of the O2 shrouded in London fog taken from the top of Pan Peninsula in Docklands. Wherever there was a tower under construction in London he had been. This wasn't so much a comment on poor security as he went everywhere no matter what the boundaries, with an endless enthusiasm to go places people don't normally get to far above us. In doing so whilst being such a talented photographer, he elevated the urban exploration hobby to art. He took his love of heights further than that with a love of BASE jumping that saw him jump off the Burj Dubai setting a world record in the process and getting arrested immediately after, and of course, from Swiss mountains. It was here doing the latter that he died, not at the top of a tall building having broken health and safety rules, but simply by prematurely slipping and being unable to properly deploy the parachute he had on. I last saw him two weeks ago. We talked about our skyscraper visits, comparing the official PR-led ones I experience to his unofficial sneaky trips that sometimes end with him jumping off a tall building like Batman. I got increasingly drunk and as I had to leave I went to bid him farewell. Being out-of-it I was more honest than usual about both his talent and some of the dangers he put himself through saying he took chances and wouldn't be around forever. With his large body of stunning work I urged him to get a book published, although in a typically modest reply he said that just wasn't his style as he didn't want the fame. Slurringly, to try and bolster my argument I found myself quoting Bladerunner. "All these moments will be lost like tears in the rain. You capture those moments, so please... do it," and then I headed off into the cold London night. With Darren's loss we'll get rather less of those beautiful moments. There isn't much more I can add, particularly when the man himself summed it all up so much better only last month. "I choose to live my life to a different tune of music, one which is not censored or wrapped up so much with a blanket of over regulation, Health and Safety gone mad (because these days it has), fear and blind compliance to anything you are told to do.. a blanket so thick, that you no longer can hear the music. If I'm injured, you'll hear me blaming only one person.. myself. It's acceptance of personal responsibility for my actions... a quality that's very much lacking in society these days." |
| New 325m tall BASE jump tower proposed in Dubai Posted: 10 May 2016 01:09 PM PDT New 325m tall BASE jump tower proposed in Dubai 14 March 2016 A new 325-metre BASE jump tower has been proposed in Dubai, which would serve as the new focal point for extreme athletes. The extreme sports tower includes plans for climbing, high diving, and free-fall facilities. A report published by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat states that the proposed tower by lead design architect 10 Design features an 'external hexagram skin', which flares out at the base and top of the tower, to provide not only structural stability, but, also houses a series of extreme sport activities. Conceptually, the tower's functions emulate the ascent to Mount Everest, with multiple 'base camps'.  The base and lower levels of the tower contain simulator, training and visitor experiences like climbing walls, free-fall facilities, and wire-assisted high diving. The tower's three peaks are designed as platforms for wire assisted free-fall and BASE jump points. The council did not reveal the name of the developer, but, said that the lower levels of the tower cater to tourists and families. The mid-levels of the tower features semi-external climbing and selling facilities, while the upper level would replicate a series of 'ice cubes' for experienced climbers and adventurous sports lovers. The expected completion time of the tower is not known. |
