Swalwell Doubles Down: Maintains Trump Is A “Russian Agent” Despite Mueller Findings…
March 27, 2019
Rep. Eric Swalwell - who sits on the House Intelligence Committee - has doubled down on his claim that President Trump is a Russian agent because nobody has been able to conclusively disprove all of the claims in the Steele Dossier.
He has not seen any evidence that Trump is not a Martian from a parallel universe either. That's not how it works, swallowell. How do you prove a negative? The burden of proof is on the those who make the claim. Not the other way around. This is the same guy who threatened to use nukes against the population if they would not disarm in violation of the 2nd Amendment.
We really need to administer drug tests and IQ tests before allowing someone to run for office. It's a must.

The directive came into effect on March 18. Although it is not stated how detailed the verification process will be, LocalBitcoins will nonetheless be forced to sacrifice some anonymity.

Hershey joins IBM-backed Blockchain Advertising Consortium…
March 27, 2019
Hershey, along with French media group Publicis Media and The Global Audience Based Buying Conference & Consultancy (GABBCON), has reportedly joined AdLedger. AdLedger was founded by IBM, Tegna and blockchain company MadHive in 2018, and is a nonprofit consortium that develops shared ledger technologies for the digital advertising market.
Apart from advertising, Hershey’s deployment of blockchain technology could be expanded to the operation of chocolate factories, facilitating tracing of cacao “from bean to bar,” according to Vinny Rinaldi, head of addressable media and technology for The Hershey Company. “This would be a fundamentally massive shift in the way that we think,” Rinaldi reportedly added.

Jussie Smollett Lawyer: ‘We’re Weighing Our Options’ on Suing Chicago Police
March 27, 2019
“Chicago police allege…when that letter didn’t get enough traction or enough attention, he decided to carry out with this alleged hoax. If the FBI determines that Jussie Smollett did send that letter to himself, he faces a charge of mail fraud, which is pretty substantial. Five to ten years in prison. Chicago police did tell us all along that the FBI is investigating that letter. The FBI just won’t confirm to us.”
This aligns with reporting from ABC7 Chicago, which confirms that Smollett is still being investigated by the FBI.

Trump admin cracks down on abortion ‘backdoor funding schemes,’ international lobbying with foreign aid…
March 27, 2019
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo confirmed to reporters that the administration is closing a loophole that permits “backdoor funding schemes” under which foreign aid recipients that don’t commit or promote abortion themselves can still give money to other organizations that do. "American taxpayer dollars will not be used to underwrite abortions," he declared. "This administration has shown that we can continue to meet our global health goals while refusing to subsidize the killing of unborn babies."
The administration is also ordering full enforcement of the 1981 Siljander amendment, which bars federal funds from being used to lobby for or against abortion. The first group to be impacted by the amendment is the Organization of American States (OAS) for its pro-abortion lobbying across North and South America via two of its organs: the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and Inter-American Commission on Women (IACW).

What Would It Mean for AI to Become Conscious?…
March 27, 2019
As artificial intelligence systems take on more tasks and solve more problems, it’s hard to say which is rising faster: our interest in them or our fear of them. Futurist Ray Kurzweil famously predicted that “By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people.”
We don’t know how accurate this prediction will turn out to be. Even if it takes more than 10 years, though, is it really possible for machines to become conscious? If the machines Kurzweil describes say they’re conscious, does that mean they actually are? Perhaps a more relevant question at this juncture is: what is consciousness, and how do we replicate it if we don’t understand it?
In a panel discussion at South By Southwest titled “How AI Will Design the Human Future,” experts from academia and industry discussed these questions and more.
