Statement by Jill Bähring regarding Jacob Appelbaum
On June 7, 2016, Gizmodo published a story in which “eyewitnesses” - Emerson Tan, Meredith Paterson, and Andrea Shepard - supposedly “recount” Jacob Applebaum’s “unwanted sexual advances”. The article was quickly picked up and developed further, for example by the dailydot. I am the girl in that story. I recall that night clearly, and my story is entirely different. This is how it happened. I have been romantically involved with Jacob Appelbaum, but I also consider him a close friend. That night in Hamburg, it was the 26th of December, we had dinner with several friends in the Raddison Blu Restaurant. After visiting the 32C3 venue, we, together with a large group of people, went to the Raddison Blu Hotel Bar. We sat down at the bar and had drinks. I was sitting on Jacob’s lap, next to him was a close friend and his partner, and on our other side another friend. Jake and I were flirting with each other all night.

Jill Bahring: I Was Not Assaulted by Jacob Appelbaum The woman involved in an eyewitness account of sexual misconduct by ex-Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum given to Gizmodo says her experience of the night in question is “entirely different.” In late May, Appelbaum stepped down from his position at the Tor project. Following the announcement of his departure, numerous anonymous accusations surfaced accusing Appelbaum of rape and sexual assault. Since then, more women have stepped forward accusing Appelbaum of sexual misconduct.
Violet Blue Jake hated and threatened me because I wouldn't fuck him.........
Jill Baeh I confirm that I am the woman of the gizmodo/dailydot...........

Did Google Manipulate Search for Hillary?
Google is manipulating Autocomplete search results to help improve Hillary Clinton’s online reputation. SourceFed told the Internet about it, so it must be true. They had screenshots, big words, and talked with their hands. They sounded like an important thought leader you should trust.
Well, I have screenshots and I’ve been getting paid to manipulate Google’s search results for years versus getting paid to make sensational videos on YouTube to sell ads based on view count.

12 Red Flags in Clinton’s Email Setup
Long-time followers know that I have a somewhat obsessive interest in public corruption cases, and have written extensively about corruption in Jefferson County, Harrisburg, Chicago, Detroit, and Puerto Rico. Thus, when I started reading reports that the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information (or, what some observers dismissively refer to as “the email controversy”) had morphed into a public corruption investigation, I started doing a lot of research. If you take the time to dig into primary sources and court proceedings, you learn many things about Clinton, her inner circle, and how the State Department operates that would make most Americans seethe.

Jacob Appelbaum no longer monochrom ambassador
Jacob Appelbaum no longer seems to be ambassador for the artist group monochrom. Appelbaum was still listed on the monochrom website in April, before allegations of harassment and violating boundaries became public.

Moroccans banned from sharing newspapers
I t is a familiar sight in any pub, cafe or train carriage - newspapers being left on seats for others to read, passed from friend to friend, or even handed over to curious strangers. But in Morocco, the practice has been banned after publishers complained they were losing millions in revenue because people kept sharing them. Members of the Moroccan Federation of Newspaper Publishers (FMEJ) said the habit of "leaving newspapers behind in public places" was costing their industry $150m each year in lost revenue.

Google moves closer to a universal quantum computer
Combining the best of analog and digital approaches could yield a full-scale multipurpose quantum computer. For 30 years, researchers have pursued the universal quantum computer, a device that could solve any computational problem, with varying degrees of success. Now, a team in California and Spain has made an experimental prototype of such a device that can solve a wide range of problems in fields such as chemistry and physics, and has the potential to be scaled up to larger systems. Both IBM and a Canadian company called D-Wave have created functioning quantum computers using different approaches. But their devices are not easily scalable to the many quantum bits (qubits) needed for solving problems that classical computers cannot.

DEA Wants Inside Your Medical Records to Fight the War on Drugs
The feds are fighting to look at millions of private files without a warrant, including those of two transgender men who are taking testosterone. Marlon Jones was arrested for taking legal painkillers, prescribed to him by a doctor, after a double knee replacement. Jones, an assistant fire chief of Utah’s Unified Fire Authority, was snared in a dragnet pulled through the state’s program to monitor prescription drugs after someone stole morphine from ambulance in 2012. To find the missing morphine, cops used their unrestricted access to the state's Prescription Drug Monitor Program database to look at the private medical records of nearly 500 emergency services personnel—without a warrant.

The Amazing iPhone-sniffing Prison Dogs
Two years ago, a Belgian Malinois named Drako earned a flurry of press attention when his proud owners at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced he had found his thousandth contraband cell phone in the state’s prisons. He’d once found thirty stashed in a microwave, and one hidden in a jar of peanut butter. But Drako was only the most famous of a growing number of dogs around the country trained to find cell phones. Usually they are a specially-trained subset of canine units employed to find drugs. They have been used by prisons in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida. Texas and California have 13 cell phone dogs each.

New router chips could save open source firmware from FCC rules
A company that designs MIPS processors for networking hardware says it is developing technology that would allow installation of open source firmware on wireless routers while still complying with the US Federal Communications Commission's latest anti-interference rules. The FCC now requires router makers to prevent third-party firmware from changing radio frequency parameters in ways that could cause interference with other devices, such as FAA Doppler weather radar systems.

The FBI 'is manufacturing terrorism cases' on a greater scale than ever before
The FBI has ramped up its use of sting operations in terrorism cases, dispatching undercover agents to pose as jihadists and ensnare Americans suspected of backing the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. Today, roughly 67% of prosecutions involving suspected ISIS supporters include evidence from undercover operations, according to the In many cases, agents will seek out people who have somehow demonstrated radical views, then coax them into plotting an act of terrorism — often providing weapons and money. Before the suspects can carry out their plans, they’re arrested.

Tracking Earth's Secret Spy Satellites
With the right gear and know-how, anyone can keep tabs on the clandestine ”moons” that surround our planet. Behind the night sky is another sky, one obscured by legal darkness and criss-crossed by satellites we’re not meant to know exist. This is the “other night sky,” as geographer-turned-artist Trevor Paglen calls it, a world of clandestine moons and unacknowledged orbiters. Kept out of official reach by defense and intelligence services, this hidden sky nonetheless can be uncovered—if you have the gear to track and observe it.
