Online Info Blog: BBB warns about Valentine’s Day scams

Flower Fails


Because of the amount of money that consumers are expected to spend this Valentine’s Day on flowers, consumers can be certain that scammers and unscrupulous businesses will also be looking to benefit. To ensure that a Valentine’s Day bouquet is delivered as planned, follow these scam savvy tips:
- Let the BBB guide purchases. Research trusted florists and gift shops, check out customer reviews, and look for scams at bbb.org.
- Pick up the phone or visit the shop. Even if ordering online, visit or chat with the brick-and-mortar shop prior to making a purchase. Discuss the arrangement you are looking for, inquire about guarantees and ask about delivery times. Don’t make a payment until the order is clearly outlined and always ask for a receipt.
- Watch for unsolicited calls and emails. This time of year, phishing scams spike for those looking to treat loved ones with flowers and gifts. Fake e-cards can carry viruses, and unsolicited emails claiming to require additional funds for gift delivery are common.
Beware of Cupid Cons
The Internet’s ability to connect people through social media and online dating has been a godsend for many single folks. But with that convenience come opportunities for scammers to prey on the love-struck.
This is a common narrative with many Valentine’s Day scams. An interesting stranger builds a fake relationship with an unsuspecting target through phone or video calls, texts and emails. Eventually, the scammer claims to be experiencing a financial hardship — or begs for funds to come visit the love-struck victim. After money is exchanged, the scammer cuts off contact. These types of scams are tricky because scammers know how to make people feel vulnerable and how to get them to do what they want.
How do you avoid a Cupid con? Looking out for the following red flags can help protect both your heart and wallet:
- Your new friend is a constant no-show. Traveling for business, house-sitting for an out-of-state friend, visiting family far away and other last-minute schedule changes are all common excuses scammers use to avoid meeting people face-to-face. An interested girl – or boyfriend would normally want to make time to get to know you better in person. So, if a new love interest is avoiding you, it’s time to get a little suspicious.
- Their social media profiles don’t match, are very new or are nonexistent. Contact information, pictures and background information the person shares with you should match what you see on their social media profiles. A shortage of online friends and contacts, stock photos and spelling/grammatical errors can be clues that you are being wooed by a scammer.
- They ask you for money. Asking for a loan from even the closest of friends can be uncomfortable (not to mention unwise), so why would a new love be boldly asking you for cash? From medical emergencies to claims of being robbed — a romantic scammer isn’t afraid to brazenly beg. Be particularly wary of anyone asking you to send funds via wire transfer or a gift card. And never give money or share banking information with someone that you have not met in person or don’t know very well.

Crown Environmental Capital Management Articles - Households to claim green energy grants

Households to claim green energy grants


South Ayrshire householders could claim up to £1200 to install green energy upgrades to their homes.


The Green Homes Cash back scheme, managed by the EnergySaving Trust, means each South Ayrshire household could be eligible for the funding towards installing a new boiler, insulation or other energy efficiency measures.

Energy Saving Trust figures show 31 per cent of Scots householders have an interest in installing double glazing, 37 per cent are interested in fitting insulation to their home and 22 per cent would consider investing in a new energy efficient boiler.


Mike Thornton, Director, Energy Saving Trust in Scotland, said: “The Green Homes Cash back scheme gives grants to South Ayrshire householders who invest to make their home – and Scotland – a greener place to live. The scheme is also open to people who rent property, as long as they have their landlord’s permission.


“And anyone who submits a claim through the scheme before 31 December 2013 will also receive up to £150 towards the cost of the assessment through which applicable measures are recommended, making this a great time to put in insulation or upgrade your heating system.”


The Scottish Government’s Green Homes  Cash back scheme lets householders claim: up to £500 for insulation measures including loft, cavity or solid wall; up to £400 to replace an old boiler and up to £300 for other measures (such as glazing, LED lighting and heating controls).


Mr. Thornton added: “A great example of how this money could be used is loft insulation – the £500 cash back could pay for the entire cost of fitting the insulation to an average three-bed semi, which can save householders up to £180 a year on their heating bills.


“They say you don’t get something for nothing, but the cash back scheme really is money in the bank for those installing energy efficiency measures.”

Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: “It is our belief that everyone in Scotland should live in a warm and safe home that doesn’t cost the earth to heat. Rising energy bills are a huge concern for this government, and fuel poverty is an absolute scandal in an energy rich country like Scotland. I would urge anyone who would like to reduce their energy bills to contact Home Energy Scotland hotline from the Scottish Government on 0808 808 2282 or visit homeenergyscotland.org as soon as possible to find out more.

Crown Capital Eco Management Reviews - Electric cars are clean today and will only get cleaner tomorrow | Grist

Electric cars are clean today and will only get cleaner tomorrow


By Max Baumhefner and Cecilia Springer


Source : http://grist.org/business-technology/electric-cars-are-clean-today-and-will-only-get-cleaner-tomorrow


/

Uncovering a fraud is uniquely satisfying, which is perhaps why news outlets continue to provide electric car deniers with a platform to proclaim they aren’t as green as they appear. But close examination reveals the latest round of skeptics to be lacking in substance.

Numerous peer-reviewed articles have reached the same conclusion: From cradle to grave, electric cars are the cleanest vehicles on the road today. And unlike cars that rely on oil, the production of which is only getting dirtier over time, the environmental benefits of electric cars will continue to improve as old coal plants are replaced with cleaner sources and manufacturing becomes more efficient as it scales up to meet growing consumer demand.

“Did your account for the pollution from the electricity it takes to power the vehicles?”

This question has been asked and answered. Using today’s average American electricity mix of natural gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, wind, geothermal, and solar, an electric car emits half the amount of harmful carbon pollution per mile as the average new vehicle. In states with cleaner mixes, such as California, it’s only a quarter as much. To find out how clean your electric car would be today, plug your zip code into the EPA’s “Beyond Tailpipe Emissions Calculator.” Those benefits will only improve as the electric grid becomes cleaner over time.

Before the Natural Resources Defense Council began advocating for vehicle electrification, we did our own homework, publishing a two-volume report in partnership with the Electric Power Research Institute. The work took almost two years and concluded that a long-term shift to the use of electricity as a transportation fuel provides substantial reductions in carbon pollution and air quality benefits.


It’s essential to take a long view when examining vehicle electrification, because the electric grid doesn’t stand still. Since the time we published that report, the EPA has adopted power plant standards for mercury and other air toxics, ozone-forming emissions, fine particulate pollution, soot, and coal ash; proposed standards for greenhouse gases from new power plants; and has been directed by the president to adopt greenhouse gas standards for existing plants. Meanwhile, 29 states have adopted renewable energy targets to reduce emissions. Driving on renewable electricity is virtually emissions-free.

“Did your account for the resources it takes to build the cars?”

Producing an electric car today requires more resources than producing a conventional vehicle, generally due to the large batteries. However, comparing the efficiency of relatively nascent and small-scale electric vehicle manufacturing to the efficiency of conventional automobile production, which has benefited from more than a century of learning-by-doing, is misleading. Automakers are racing to save money and materials through recycling and more efficient production. Those who win the race will win the market.


Even with today’s technology, on a lifecycle basis, the electric car is still the cleanest option available. Higher emissions from manufacturing are more than offset by the substantial benefits of driving on electricity. We examined six peer-reviewed academic studies and found that in every case, electric vehicles win by a substantial margin, with estimates ranging from 28 to 53 percent lower cradle-to-grave emissions than conventional vehicles today.


Opponents often rely upon the original version of a Norwegian study, which has much higher estimates of emissions associated with the production of electric cars. Those skeptics generally cherry-pick from the original version of that article, and ignore the fact it was correctedpost-publication, resulting in its estimate of the comparative emissions benefit rising from 22 percent to 28 percent. In other words, even the source relied upon by skeptics shows a substantial lifecycle advantage for electric cars. The Norwegian study finds the lowest benefit relative to the other articles examined partially because it includes an estimate of emissions associated with the disposal of advanced battery materials that is higher than other studies, which brings us to the next question:


 “What about mining and disposing of the materials needed to make the batteries?”


First off, there is no shortage of the materials needed to make advanced vehicle batteries. A recent article in the Journal of Industrial Ecology concludes, “even with a rapid and widespread adoption of electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries, lithium resources are sufficient to support demand until at least the end of this century.” Another analysis of the trade constraints associated with the global lithium market came to a similar conclusion, and noted that even a “five-fold increase of lithium price would not impact the price of battery packs.” Furthermore, companies like Simbol Materials are already finding innovative ways to acquire lithium by harvesting materials from the brine of geothermal power plants — no mining required.


Secondly, advanced vehicle batteries are unlikely to be simply thrown away; they’re too valuable. Even once they’re no longer suitable for automotive use, they retain about 80 percent of their capacity and can be re-purposed to provide grid energy storage to facilitate the integration of variable renewable resources, such as wind and solar. Automotive batteries can also be repurposed to support the electrical grid at the neighborhood level, preventing the need to invest in costly distribution system equipment. Pacific Gas & Electric plans to use money saved through the strategic deployment of used battery packs in neighborhoods throughout Northern and Central California to provide electric car drivers with rebates to reduce the purchase price of new electric cars.

Finally, those batteries that aren’t repurposed will likely be recycled. Conventional vehicle manufacturing is one of the most efficient industries in the world — around 95 percent of vehicle parts are recycled, reducing the energy needed to make more parts. It is worth noting that conventional lead-acid car batteries are consistently the most recycled product for which the EPA provides data [PDF], with a recycling rate of 96 percent. Advanced battery recycling could cut associated emissions in half, according to a 2012 study from researchers at Argonne National Laboratory. Companies are already investing in such technologies.

In summary, a sustained and serious examination of the cradle-to-grave impacts of electric cars reveals they are the cleanest option available today, and that the environmental benefits of vehicle electrification will only increase over time. That’s not only good news for the eco-conscious, but for any consumer interested in driving on a cleaner fuel at a price equivalent to buck-a-gallon gasoline.

The Next Big Thing voor Tech: The Internet of Everything

Seon Murphy 11 ár síðan í Plugin announcements 0
In een column schreef ik hier al eerder CES , schetste ik acht trends stelde ik voor zou uit de show komen. Ik weggelaten een belangrijke trend die bekend staat als het internet van Everything (OIE), zoals het hele werd impliciet het grootste deel van de trends I vermeld. Maar nu ik de gebeurtenissen van de show hebben verteerd, ik heb het uit genoemd als een trend in zijn eigen recht, want het werd uiteindelijk de ware thema van dit jaar CES.

Dit werd mij heel duidelijk tijdens een vergadering die ik had met de CEO van Cisco, John Chambers, waar hij schetste denken Cisco's op OIE. De financiële cijfers voorspelt hij voor de gevolgen van de OIE in de overheidssector alleen: 4600000000000 $. Hij gelooft dat het zal een enorme impact hebben op alles van stadsplanning, first responders, militair, gezondheid en tientallen andere omgevingen. Als ik hoor getallen deze grote, word ik sceptisch. We praten over biljoenen dollars hier, niet miljarden. Echter, als je kijkt naar het ultieme idee van wat OIE is, kunnen deze nummers worden op het merk.

Het internet van alles is uitgegroeid tot een catch-all phrase te beschrijven voegen connectiviteit en intelligentie om zowat elk apparaat om hen speciale functies te geven. Op de show, bijvoorbeeld, was er een met internet verbonden crock pot. Je zou kunnen beheersen als het gaat over en de instellingen van de andere kant van de wereld aan te passen. Er waren ook diverse auto verkopers die de volgende generatie van de aangesloten auto's geïntroduceerd. Ieder van hen verwezen naar hun auto's als onderdeel van OIE.

Slimme auto's, slimme apparaten, smartwatches en meer alle eindigen met de "slimme" moniker voor hen wanneer ze gebonden aan het internet en interconnect aan ecosystemen van apparaten, software en diensten. Het bedrijf achter de Sleep Number bedden zelfs aangekondigd een slimme bed dat slaappatronen monitoren met 500 sensoren ingebouwd in de matras, het verzenden van de resultaten om een app op uw smartphone of tablet.

Als ik liep de CES beursvloer, die door de manier had 2 miljoen vierkante meter aan tentoonstellingsruimte, het was moeilijk om een product dat niet een of andere vorm van connectivity.This had was vooral het geval in de sectie gezondheidszorg, waar ongeveer 60 vinden stands toonde gezondheidsgerelateerde wearables die gecontroleerd genomen stappen, hartslag, verbrande calorieën en bloeddruk. Er waren zelfs persoonlijke EKG systemen. Ik droeg de Fitbit Force polsband en vond dat ik liep meer dan 20.000 stappen per dag was ik bij de show.

Toen ik uitgecheckt de verschillende auto's op de beursvloer, allen werden pronken hoe slim en ze verbonden waren. Er waren aangesloten tv's, koelkasten, huishoudelijke apparaten, domotica-systemen, noem maar op, en het werd aangesloten op een of andere manier met het internet of een smartphone, tablet of pc.

De OIE focus op gezondheid is heel interessant en ik van groot belang. In de sectie gezondheid op de CES, United Healthcare, dat is een van de grootste zorgverzekeraars in de VS, had een grote stand die verschillende gezondheids-monitoring devices en online educatieve diensten gemarkeerd. Zorgaanbieders en verzekeraars weten dat houdt je gezond en uit het ziekenhuis is veel goedkoper en beter dan het verzorgen van de kosten voor u als u ziek wordt - en vooral als je opgenomen in een ziekenhuis. Dus ze zijn heel erg achter OIE, wat suggereert dat mensen gebruik maken van dingen als de Jawbone Up, Misfit Shine, Nike Fuelband, Fibit Force en tientallen andere gezondheids-apparaten die worden gebruikt om u te motiveren en bewaken van uw oefening. Sommige van deze apparaten, zoals aangesloten bloeddruk kits en aangesloten bloedglucose testen kits kunnen zelfs de gegevens die zij verzamelen om uw zorgverlener te sturen, zodat hij of zij je voortgang kunt controleren.

Als een type-2 diabetes, was ik vooral geïnteresseerd in een product van Dexcom : een continue bloedglucose monitoring systeem dat een subcutane sensor ingebracht in de arm, buik of de dij gebruikt en draadloos communiceert met een handheld digitale controle-apparaat. Deze monitor vervolgens dia's in een internet-aangesloten docking systeem en kan een volledige 24-uurs of zelfs een 10-daagse lezen om uw zorgverlener te sturen zodat hij of zij kan zien hoe je doet met je medicijnen en aanpassingen in real time.

Aangesloten auto's zullen de grote onderscheidende factoren voor de auto-industrie in de nabije toekomst. AT & T kondigde een groot platform dat gebruikt kan worden door autofabrikanten om 4G-connectiviteit en diensten toe te voegen aan hun voertuigen. En vorige herfst, AT & T introduceerde een gieterij die zal dienen als een bron voor autofabrikanten om hun auto's slimmer maken. Op CES, AT & T aangekondigd dat Audi en GM zou met behulp van AT & T's 4G-oplossingen, en in een verrassing beweging zei dat GM haar OnStar diensten zou verhuizen binnenkort van Verizon AT & T.

Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm en de meeste van de halfgeleider-bedrijven op de beurs alle aangekondigde nieuwe processors en diensten gericht op de OIE met Intel bekendmaking van haar Quartz chip voor wearables en een nieuwe SOC (system on a chip) genaamd Edison, dat is de grootte van een SD-kaart geeft complete computersysteem voor gebruik in alle soorten OIE apparaten. Ik zie Qualcomm als een van de echt grote spelers en winnaars in OIE sinds het bedrijf is opkomen OIE voor de afgelopen twee jaar en valt OIE op twee niveaus. Zijn mobiele chips en radio's worden gebruikt in miljoenen smartphones en tablets nu, en het bedrijf is ook iets wat het noemt de Digital Sixth Sense, die betrekking heeft op een ander belangrijk onderdeel van de OIE duwen: sensoren. Qualcomm sensoren worden genoemd Gimbal processors.

Miljarden sensoren zullen elk jaar worden verzonden. Deze sensoren geven apparaten zoals lichten, bakens, apparaten en domotica-systemen een verbinding met andere apparaten en internet ecosystemen. Marktonderzoeker IDC verwacht dat in 2020, zal 220.000.000.000 aangesloten apparaten in gebruik zijn. Qualcomm kunnen deze sensoren leveren gewijd producten zoals bakens en domotica-systemen, maar ze kunnen ook worden toegevoegd aan het bedrijf Snapdragon mobiele processors die macht telefoons en tablets.

Hoewel we hebben het over de aangesloten apparaten sinds het midden van de jaren '90, ik denk dat we terugkijken op CES van dit jaar en beseffen dat als het evenement waar OIE uiteindelijk de mainstream hit. In de komende drie tot vijf jaar zullen alle bedrijven producten en diensten die passen in een wereld van slimmere apparaten, diensten en ecosystemen creëren. Hoewel er zeker zullen een aantal varianten op dit thema, de bottom line is dat het internet van alles is de volgende grote ding voor tech en vrijwel alle sectoren, zoals ze willen allemaal deel van deze revolutie.

Een laatste opmerking over OIE: Wat Ik deel hier is gewoon de trend. Alle bedrijfstakken nog steeds te maken hebben met thema's als veiligheid, privacy, hardware compatibiliteit, software compatibiliteit, synchronisatie, draadgebonden infrastructuur, draadloze infrastructuur, data mining, data-analyse en tientallen andere dingen die ervoor zorgt dat OIE echt werken over de hele wereld. Terwijl OIE is de volgende grote trend, zal de volgende stap zijn om te werken aan deze belangrijke kwesties als OIE is om zijn volledige potentieel te voldoen.

Strong opinions voiced on single - payer health insurance system - Westhill Consulting Insurance

Strong opinions voiced on single-payer health insurance system
By JENNIFER ROBISON
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
If our email inbox is any indication, Las Vegans feel strongly about starting up a single-payer health insurance system.
After we wrote on Jan. 19 about a Vermont lawmaker’s federal proposal to mandate that states set up one-payer systems that would operate like Medicaid and guarantee coverage for all, the feedback rolled in.
We’ve selected two letters with opposing takes on the issue to keep the discussion going.
Once you’ve finished reading up on the debate, check out how a local consumer got a pleasant surprise when he recently signed up for new coverage.
■Al Popp reached out with a novel idea. He writes: Let’s just expand Medicaid to everyone. How do we pay for this system? We pay for it by taxing all food and beverages at 10 percent. Just add it to the price of the product before the sale, like we do with gasoline excise taxes. If a person spends $200 a week for food and beverages, whether it be in a grocery store, convenience store, restaurant or catering business, one would be paying $20 a week for their health care, which equates to $1,040 a year. That, to me, is affordable health care. The more you spend on food and beverages, the more you will contribute to health care. I’m curious what your thoughts are on this plan.
Well, Al, I’m a reporter, so I’m completely flexible and I have no opinions.
In the interest of public debate, though, your plan is definitely worth sharing.
One common criticism of this kind of funding source is that poor Americans spend an above-average share of their income on groceries, so it becomes a regressive tax that penalizes lower-income earners more than wealthier households. This is why Nevada’s sales tax exempts food bought inside grocery stores.
So although you’re correct that people would pay less if they spent less, a plan to tax food and drink would disproportionately hurt discretionary income among working-class households.
Plus, low-income households already face higher food costs because their neighborhoods might have fewer supermarkets and pricier food as a result.
As you note, Al, your idea does have upsides. No one would be mandated to use Medicaid; they could still buy a private plan for more coverage, the way some affluent households pay both local property taxes and private-school tuition. International tourists who buy pricey meals on vacation also would feed into the system. And undocumented residents would pay as well, anytime they visit the grocery store. So would “panhandlers, the underground market and cash-paid workers,” as you said.
So, readers: Add what you’d like to Al’s suggestion.
■On the other side, Las Vegas insurance broker Patrick Casale chimed in on single-payer with this: There are five reasons single-payer can never work for the United States: immigration; taxation; capping doctors’ and hospitals’ earnings; capping Big Pharma; and medical access.
Part of Patrick’s concern is that our country already is strapped financially, and a plan that opens free health care access to all (Medicaid doesn’t charge copays or premiums) would be unsustainable given current immigration rates. What’s more, he said, countries with one payer “have a tax rate that exceeds 50 percent, and numerous other taxes,” including sales taxes. Accounting firm KPMG backed that up with a 2012 study that pegged top marginal income-tax rates at 56.6 percent in Sweden, 55.4 percent in Denmark and 48 percent in Canada. The marginal U.S. rate is 39.6 percent.
Making a single-payer system work also might require limiting hospital charges and incomes, and that would in turn hurt access as providers perform fewer procedures to control costs, Patrick said. And tangling with the major pharmaceutical companies on what they charge would be a Herculean task in what he called “the most overdrugged nation worldwide.”
Patrick said he also would like to see the federal government eliminate fraud in Medicare and Medicaid before the programs expand to all Americans. Curbing malpractice lawsuits might make a difference in costs, too.
Anything else you can think of, readers?
■Steve Selbrede wrote in with praise for a little-known provision of Obamacare: There have been many recent stories and letters about the absurdly high deductibles of Obamacare insurance plans. When I first began to investigate the Nevada Health Link website to choose my own plan, I was distressed to see very high deductibles. After about 30 hours of studying my options, I found that these deductibles are not always so high.
Steve discovered Cost Sharing Reduction, a little-known discount in the Affordable Care Act that lowers what you owe out of pocket for deductibles, coinsurance and copayments. It’s above and beyond the tax credit that helps cut premiums for lower-income earners.
You do need to meet a few guidelines to benefit. For starters, you have to buy your plan through Nevada Health Link, the state exchange’s website. Plus, the discount is good only on silver plans, the federal law’s benchmark coverage. And you have to make less than 250 percent of the federal poverty level. That’s $59,625 for a family of four, or $29,175 for a single.
Steve qualified, and after he chose Nevada Health CO-OP’s Southern Star Silver Plan, here’s what he found: His calendar-year deductible dropped from $4,250 to $750, while his out-of-pocket maximum fell from $6,350 to $1,500. His office visits went from $15 or $45, depending on network level, to $5 or $30. Specialist copays were reduced from $50 or $150 to $10 or $50.
You do need to complete the sign-up process at nevadahealthlink.com to determine whether you’ll get the break. So Steve offered some tips on how to make it through, if you have issues with the site.
First, forget about browsing for a plan without creating an account, because you won’t get a full reckoning of the cost unless you put in your details. Start an account at the site with a user name and a password, or you won’t be able to get back into your account. Do not provide your e-mail address, or you might not be able to return to your account. Make sure you know exactly what your adjusted gross income is before you get started. And check your insurer’s website for a provider list because the state exchange’s site doesn’t always match, he said.
“Don’t wait for a bill. Send a check in right away,” he added.

Life coaches are becoming very popular nowadays. What parents and teachers used to do exclusively has become the concern and livelihood of people who have the expertise and passion to provide general mentoring in life and all its many aspects, such as health, business, arts and marital counseling. Being a life coach essentially means you teach a person gain skills within a particular field or industry while visualizing how those skills will enhance one’s ability to cope and to compete in life.

Success is the aim of almost every person and enterprise. And without the need to reinvent the wheel, life coaches have collated much of the ancient and modern knowledge in specific fields for those seeking guided education for personal advancement.

Whereas only wealthy individuals and celebrities could afford voice or gym coaches in the past, now, almost anyone can find an online coach or even a personal coach for a reasonable and even at no price at all. Reading through Jennifer Shearin’s website is in itself a practically free but priceless tool for anyone who seriously takes her advices to heart.

Achieving balance in one’s life through having a health coach is the latest innovation in health management. More specifically, having an integrative health coach to provide an individualized health plan provides one with a focused strategy designed to address personal health issues through experienced health experts.

The main objective of having an integrative health coach is in obtaining a program that will help “sustain the mindset needed to make lifestyle and behavior changes for the long haul”. Developing and maintaining the discipline of a healthy and balanced life requires the help of a whole family or group of people, not just an individual. As they say, it takes a whole village to raise a child. It certainly requires a whole town to keep each individual become a healthy member of the community. Trying to go organic in a town that does not produce any such products would be tough. Let alone live in a town that does not care about proper sanitation and waste disposal.

Finding a health coach then must take into consideration not merely the qualifications of the coach itself but also with the specific health goals that a person has. Having a qualified health coach, nevertheless, is the first step toward attaining a sustainable personal health program.

Gemeinschaft Mesh-Netzwerk: Die DIY-Internet

gertudepark 11 ár síðan í Plugin announcements 0
Da die NSA Spionage Kontroverse brach im letzten Sommer, scheint wahr Online-Datenschutz fast lächerlich.Das Leben im 21. Jahrhundert scheint eine schwierige Wahl zwischen Aufstellen mit Big Brother oder Rückzug in einer Blockhütte auf Such Ihre Manifest (Langschrift, kein Zweifel) sein.Aber was, wenn es einen dritten Wahl-was, wenn Sie die NSA durch den Aufbau Ihrer eigenen Internet umgehen können?Wie sich herausstellt, ist diese Idee gar nicht so weit hergeholt, sagt Clive Thompson inMother Jones(September / Oktober 2013).In der Tat ist es schon an zu passieren.

Die Idee begann als eine Lösung für die "letzte Meile"-Problem die Tatsache, dass Web-Nutzer den Anschluss an den Weiten einem Netzwerk ist für alle Beteiligten lächerlich teuer.Vor zehn Jahren bekam Möchtegern-Nutzer in ländlichen Spanien krank warten, um für Telekom für Web-Zugang zu verbinden und zu überladen und begann zu denken Alternativen.Sie schlugen auf die Gemeinschaft Mesh-Netzwerk, eine Art Koop-Internet, wo DSL, öffentliche Hot-Spots, und Langstrecken-Antennen an die Stelle der herkömmlichen Breitband-und WiFi.Und es hat funktioniert: Heute ist Spaniens Guifi Netzwerk der weltweit größte Masche mit mehr als 21.000 Nutzer-viele von ihnen genießen schnellere Internet zu niedrigeren Kosten als die von uns immer noch unter Berufung auf einen ISP.

Im Gegensatz zu einem traditionellen Hub-and-Spoke-Netzwerk, in dem die Benutzer eine Verbindung unabhängig voneinander an einen zentralen Zugriffspunkt-denken, AT & T ein Community-Mesh-Netzwerk verbindet Benutzer für alle anderen Benutzer in der Nähe.Also anstatt alle raub Daten aus der gleichen Quelle, Mesh-Benutzern teilen alles, was sie mit den in der Nähe empfangen, was Thompson-Bereich fordert der "Eimerketten"-Ansatz zur Verwendung im Internet.Manchmal bedeutet dies, den gemeinsamen Zugang zu herkömmlichen Servern in weit entfernten Orten, in anderen Fällen bedeutet es, eine völlig neue Internet von Grund auf.

Und wie sich herausstellt, all dies macht Big Brother die Aufgabe viel schwieriger.Die NSA kann Tabs auf Millionen von E-Mail-Konten und-Browsing Geschichte zu haben, aber sie haben keine PRISM-Programm für Mesh-Netze haben.Surveilling oder Herunterfahren eines Community-Mesh ist nicht unmöglich, aber es ist wie Hydra-Design macht es viel komplizierter.Und das hat Aktivisten und Befürworter der Netzneutralität angeregt.Networks mag klein sein, aber das Potenzial für eine wirklich freie und offene Internet ist da.
