    Yesterday and today I worked on adding the 'mix' shader to my render plugin.
    So here I mix a metal material, with a 'matte' with diffuse texture, using a checkermap texture as 'mix'..

    How Israel Caught Russian Hackers Scouring the World for U.S. Secrets

    source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/technology/kaspersky-lab-israel-russia-hacking.html

    The Israeli officials who had hacked into Kaspersky’s own network alerted the United States to the broad Russian intrusion, which has not been previously reported, leading to a decision just last month to order #Kaspersky #software removed from #government computers.

    ...

    But experts on #Russia say that under President Vladimir V. #Putin, a former #KGB. officer, businesses asked for assistance by Russian #spy agencies may feel they have no choice but to give it.

    WTF?! - I know that #Trump's U.S. has a #NSA, who does the same and all is called national #security! -> U.S. Agencies Said to Swap Data With Thousands of Firms - source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms

    And I have more #insider #knowledge!

    It wasn't the #Mossad, who made this public. The Mossad hacked Kaspersky, who was hacked by the Russian spies, but the Mossad was watched by the German BND, who was watched by the Danish #intelligence. The Danish spies were hacked by the Russian spies. So when the Russians looked on their screen they saw the Danish's, who saw the Germans, who saw the Mossad, who saw Kaspersky, who was hacked by the Russians. So the Russians saw themselves hacking Kaspersky - live! This ring screen sharing triggers an #Google alert. The NSA, who monitors Google got the screenshots and saw their own #malware. It's a mad world!

      U.S. Agencies Said to Swap Data With Thousands of Firms
      from Bloomberg.com
      Thousands of technology, finance and manufacturing companies are working closely with U.S. national security agencies, providing sensitive information and in return receiving benefits that include access to classified intelligence, four people familiar with the process said.

      Zuckerberg apologizes for his tone-deaf VR cartoon tour of Puerto Rico devastation
      By <a href="/author/lucas-matney/" title="Posts by Lucas Matney" onclick="s_objectID='river_author';" rel="author">Lucas Matney</a> from TechCrunch

      Mark Zuckerberg is apologizing today after his Facebook Live video discussing his company’s efforts to aid Puerto Rico’s recovery raised some serious eyebrows.

      Yesterday, Zuckerberg used the company’s VR app Spaces to tour through an NPR-produced 360 video of Puerto Rico. Zuck’s cartoon avatar directed attention towards various features of Puerto Rico’s destruction while another Facebook executive remarked “it’s crazy to feel like you’re in the middle of it.”

      The video induced quite a few cringes as the tech billionaire visited Puerto Rico’s destruction inside virtual reality as a cartoon.

      “Do you want to teleport somewhere else?” Zuckerberg’s VR avatar asked as he wrapped up his conversation about Puerto Rico. “Yeah maybe back to California?” another executive answered.

      Zuckerberg reacted to some of the backlash in a reply to a Facebook comment on the video.

      One of the most powerful features of VR is empathy. My goal here was to show how VR can raise awareness and help us see what’s happening in different parts of the world. I also wanted to share the news of our partnership with the Red Cross to help with the recovery. Reading some of the comments, I realize this wasn’t clear, and I’m sorry to anyone this offended.

      To be fair, it really is difficult to represent experiences in VR to third parties and all Zuckerberg was seeing was the harrowing video from NPR, not necessarily what it looked like as his cartoonish avatar grabbed the camera to peruse the damage. That being said, the tone-deafness of the video was pretty pronounced and even though the content of his video pointed to all of the positive work Facebook was doing in Puerto Rico, seeing a couple of cartoons chatting about it in VR have made the executives appear pretty out of touch.

      “When you’re in VR yourself, the surroundings feel quite real. But that sense of empathy doesn’t extend well to people watching you as a virtual character on a 2D screen. That’s something we’ll need to work on over time,” Zuckerberg said in another comment he left.

      Facebook is generally pretty careful to isolate its CEO from opportunities for bad press, Zuckerberg has an extensive team helping him maintain his manicured public image on the social media site. With tools like Facebook Live that demand less scripted moments, this level of media-training can stutter, especially when you don’t have the advantage of seeing an outside view of what exactly you look like while it’s all going down.

      Regardless, someone should’ve known better.

      Facebook specifically chose a fun, vibrant cartoon-like mood for their VR Spaces app so that users wouldn’t feel intimidated by the control scheme. That works fine for watching a movie preview or drawing something in VR but Facebook should probably save conversations of it being easier to “move bits than atoms” for segments that don’t feel an awful lot like disaster tourism.

    @demoakracia Ah, vale, ubicación en tiempo real. Bueno, que les aproveche. Tampoco entiendo los furores por Telegram por parte de un sector del mundillo "open source". Son puro frentismo... Por mucho que el cliente sea abierto, el servidor no lo es (y de por sí depender de servidores ajenos ya es un punto flaco) y el cifrado está (o al menos hace poco estaba) desactivado por defecto para grupos. Desconcertante.
