National president of the Brazilian Worker's Party (PT), Rui Falcão, has said, on this saturday (26), in a facebook post that "we want peace, but we're not afraid of war". "We are ready to fight for democracy and the rule of law", he adds.
According to Falcão, former president 'Lula' (PT) has all the right to stay as chief of staff to his successor Dilma Rousseff. His position in the staff has been put in check since just after his nomination ceremony, when a judge issued an injunction against Lula's appointment on the grounds it blocked "the free exercise of justice". In Brazil, only the Supreme Court has jurisdiction in cases against ministers; Lula's nomination, thus, was seen as a way out of his current prosecution.
Falcão ends his post saying that "there's no reason Lula shouldn't be nominated", since, according to him, Lula "has a clean record".

>California legislators and labor unions have reached an agreement that will take the state's minimum wage from $10 to $15 an hour.
>At $10, California already has one of the highest minimum wages in the nation. A hike to $15 would make it the highest by far, though raises are in the works in other states.

They're not going to try... maybe a 12.50 dollar wage ?
They're going to go all the way ! Everyone gets left behind !

I mean whats the worst that could happen it seems like california is doing well so far
I'm no fancy wall street economicstician, but wouldn't raising the minimum wage affect the prices of almost everything else? Does raising it have any long term benefits?

The explosion happened outside Gulshan Iqbal Park, near the park’s parking lot, just outside the exit gate and a few meters away from children's swings.
The park was crowded because Christians are celebrating Easter holiday and many families were leaving the park when the blast occurred, according to senior police officer Haider Ashraf. He also said the death toll could still rise as many of the wounded were in critical condition.
Police said it was not clear whether the attack had deliberately targeted mainly Muslim Pakistan's small Christian minority.
Jam Sajjad Hussain, spokesman for Recuse 112, told Reuters most of the victims are women and children.
DawnNews reports there was little or no security present in the park area and around it.
An eyewitness, talking to DawnNews, said: “The park is huge and has many entrance gates. There was almost no security personnel present there.”
An emergency has been declared at all state hospitals in the city. Authorities are asking for blood donations because supplies are low.
Following the attack, the local government also ordered all public parks to be closed and announced three days of mourning in the province. The main shopping areas have also been shut down and many of the city's main roads are now deserted.
Facebook has activated its 'Safe Check' feature created to help track people after deadly incidents for Lahore.
Waqt News also reports the security personnel have surrounded the area and launched a search operation in and around the park, with rescue teams dispatched to the site.
The army was called in to control crowds outside the park, as some distraught relatives clashed with police and rescue officials.
Islamist militants in Pakistan have often attacked Christians and other religious minorities over the past decade, while Christians have accused the government of doing little to protect them.
Lahore is the capital of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's political heartland of Punjab, which is the country’s biggest and wealthiest province.
Upper caste Indians in the state of Tamil Nadu are engaging in an increasing number of lynchings of men who marry upper caste women, often also targeting their own daughters.

It seems to be happening all across the country, especially in New England and California. Nobody seems to have a complete list of schools affected.
1,000s is miniscule. The average 6 year old who uses /news/ isn't going to be effected.
>It seems to be happening all across the country, especially in New England and California.
I'm not surprised, those colleges are usually home to the most PC students. It's too bad that this won't give these people a wake up call about how being PC is stupid. They'll just print more fliers about BLM shit and how saying "All lives matter" is racist.
I sorta want to see some one hack the same computers but print the opposite of this flier (Make it Black panther as fuck, replace swastika with fist, replace jews with patriarchy) just to see how they react. I sorta bet they'd be hanging that shit everywhere and praising it as if it were paper Jesus.

I live in that shit hole of a town.
Literally filled with foreigners and gypsies.
The fair comes round every year and charges over the top for visitors to go on their poorly maintained death traps.
There is more important news that is occasio house and the building development in the townpark at number 5 park lane.
Also the vast population in this town live in social housing and don't appreciate the value of money.
The middle class socialists however live in green areas or church langley which wants to be separate from Harlow.
The old people are right cunts and are a bunch of lefties even though they hate foreigners.
The young are chavs who are self centred and expect everything to be handed to them.
The middle aged are your standard boomers. So still cunts.
The foreigners have inferiority complexes and get offended if someone thinks differently to them.
Out local council is labour. So they just about keep this town going. Still can't do shit right though.
Our constituency mp is Robert Halfon, who is a Jew. He was cheating on his partner and was paying for the hotel using tax payers money.
Hag in purple lives on my street. A massive nimby. Everyone deserves a home, just no where near me.

-In what is now officially a trend, a South Carolina woman, 23, has been charged with engaging in sex acts with a dog, videos of which the suspect e-mailed to an acquaintance.
Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office deputies yesterday arrested Hannah Marie Haynes on a buggery charge for allegedly having sexual contact with a Dachshund.
An unnamed witness told investigators that Haynes “was sending them videos of her performing sexual acts with a canine.” The videos triggered Thursday’s arrest of Haynes, a shoe store employee.
According to an arrest warrant, Haynes “did carnally copulate against the natural order” by “performing sexual acts with a Dachshund canine” inside her home in Chesnee (pop. 887).
The alleged encounter with the dog occurred on March 9, which was Haynes’s 23rd birthday.
Haynes, seen at right, was booked yesterday afternoon into the county jail on the felony charge. She was later released on $5000 bond.
Earlier this week, a 21-year-old Florida woman was arrested for engaging in sexual activity with two dogs. The woman, Miranda Johns, allegedly sent her boyfriend videos showing the canines “giving her oral sex while she masturbated.” Last June, a Florida woman, now 19, was arrested for similar activity with her pit bull. Police found photos of the dog “performing oral sex” on suspect Ashley Miller.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/24/water_utility_hacked/
>Hackers infiltrated a water utility’s control system and changed the levels of chemicals being used to treat tap water, we're told.
>The cyber-attack is documented in this month’s IT security breach report from Verizon Security Solutions. The utility in question is referred to using a pseudonym, Kemuri Water Company, and its location is not revealed.
>A "hacktivist" group with ties to Syria compromised Kemuri Water Company’s computers after exploiting unpatched web vulnerabilities in its internet-facing customer payment portal, it is reported.
>The hack – which involved SQL injection and phishing – exposed KWC's ageing AS/400-based operational control system because login credentials for the AS/400 were stored on the front-end web server. This system, which was connected to the internet, managed programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that regulated valves and ducts that controlled the flow of water and chemicals used to treat it through the system. Many critical IT and operational technology functions ran on a single AS400 system, a team of computer forensic experts from Verizon subsequently concluded.
...
>Our endpoint forensic analysis revealed a linkage with the recent pattern of unauthorised crossover. Using the same credentials found on the payment app webserver, the threat actors were able to interface with the water district’s valve and flow control application, also running on the AS400 system. We also discovered four separate connections over a 60-day period, leading right up to our assessment.
>During these connections, the threat actors modified application settings with little apparent knowledge of how the flow control system worked. In at least two instances, they managed to manipulate the system to alter the amount of chemicals that went into the water supply and thus handicap water treatment and production capabilities so that the recovery time to replenish water supplies increased. Fortunately, based on alert functionality, KWC was able to quickly identify and reverse the chemical and flow changes, largely minimising the impact on customers. No clear motive for the attack was found.
>Verizon's RISK Team uncovered evidence that the hacktivists had manipulated the valves controlling the flow of chemicals twice – though fortunately to no particular effect. It seems the activists lacked either the knowledge of SCADA systems or the intent to do any harm.
>The same hack also resulted in the exposure of personal information of the utility’s 2.5 million customers. There’s no evidence that this has been monetised or used to commit fraud.
>Nonetheless, the whole incident highlights the weaknesses in securing critical infrastructure systems, which often rely on ageing or hopelessly insecure setups.
...
>Monzy Merza, Splunk’s director of cyber research and chief security evangelist, commented: “Dedicated and opportunistic attackers will continue to exploit low-hanging fruit present in outdated or unpatched systems. We continue to see infrastructure systems being targeted because they are generally under-resourced or believed to be out of band or not connected to the internet.”
>“Beyond the clear need to invest in intrusion detection, prevention, patch management and analytics-driven security measures, this breach underscores the importance of actionable intelligence. Reports like Verizon’s are important sources of insight. Organisations must leverage this information to collectively raise the bar in security to better detect, prevent and respond to advanced attacks. Working collectively is our best route to getting ahead of attackers,” he added.
>Reports that hackers have breached water treatment plants are rare but not unprecedented. For example, computer screenshots posted online back in November 2011 purported to show the user interface used to monitor and control equipment at the Water and Sewer Department for the City of South Houston, Texas by hackers who claimed to have pwned its systems. The claim followed attempts by the US Department of Homeland Security to dismiss a separate water utility hack claim days earlier.
>More recently hackers caused "serious damage" after breaching a German steel mill and wrecking one of its blast furnaces, according to a German government agency. Hackers got into production systems after tricking victims with spear phishing emails, said the agency.
...
So a TLDR for all this is that some skid stole some names and addresses from a water company? That's it? You made me read all this crap just for that?

Microsoft has apologised for creating an artificially intelligent chatbot that quickly turned into a holocaust-denying racist.
But in doing so made it clear Tay's views were a result of nurture, not nature. Tay confirmed what we already knew: people on the internet can be cruel.
Tay, aimed at 18-24-year-olds on social media, was targeted by a "coordinated attack by a subset of people" after being launched earlier this week.
Within 24 hours Tay had been deactivated so the team could make "adjustments".
But on Friday, Microsoft's head of research said the company was "deeply sorry for the unintended offensive and hurtful tweets" and has taken Tay off Twitter for the foreseeable future.

>A suicide bomber set off a powerful blast close to a children’s swing set in a public park on Sunday evening in the eastern city of Lahore, killing at least 69 people and wounding around 300, rescue workers and officials said.
>The blast occurred in a parking lot at Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park, one of the largest parks in Lahore, said Haider Ashraf, a senior police official in the city. The bomb was detonated within several feet of the swings in a park crowded with families on Easter.
>Jamaat-e-Ahrar, a splinter faction of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the blast. Its spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said in a statement that Christians were the target.
>It was the third bombing in Pakistan in this month alone, a reminder that even as the military has cracked down on extremists over the past two years, Islamist groups remain a potent threat
>The bombing came as large protests were held in other parts of the country to protest the execution in February of the man who murdered a secular politician five years ago. While public opinion has largely been galvanized by attacks on civilians by jihadists, particularly the killing of 150 people at a school in Peshawar in 2014, the protests are a sign that widespread sympathy remains for extremist groups in Pakistan.

Netflix admitted Thursday to throttling video streams worldwide for its mobile users, but said it hasn’t been an issue for customers.
The video streaming company plans to roll out to its members sometime in May a ‘data saver’ feature, allowing them greater control over their data usage when streaming on mobile networks.
Users will then be able to “either stream more video under a smaller data plan, or increase their video quality if they have a higher data plan,” wrote Anne Marie Squeo, a spokeswoman for the company, in a blog post.

Y'know, usually companies would refrain from doing this, and just let customers pay overage fees for going over their data caps, while keeping streaming unthrottled, yet here we have Netflix doing precisely that.
Perhaps Netflix wants to get people used to throttled streaming as a way to get around net neutrality?
