In the secret meeting between Julian Assange and Google CEO Eric Schmidt - On the 23 of June, 2011 a secret five hour meeting took place between WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who was under house arrest in rural UK at the time and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
They have been talking about unique hashes, bitcoins.. But prism? Schmidt is aware of and Assange is not it?

Just a quick fact check for all people who say that we had unreasonable expectation when we expected more than 10% of Season 2 to follow the story beats from the books.
Do you think what we got in Season 2 of the Netflix show lines up with the expectations she helped create herself?
If you like the show for what it is, I'm happy for you.
However, please understand why the fans of the franchise who actually are invested in the lore of the books (and to a lesser extent, the games) are not wrong for expecting a SIGNIFICANTLY more accurate adaptation than what we got.
I heard from an acquaintance that this company’s CEO told one of its drivers to hand out all the bread in the truck to the vehicles stranded on I-95.
I thought we should reward them back by buying their product…
I was really excited when I saw that a Singaporean company was making affordable monitors. Man they're trash though. First they buy thousands of instagram followers, then they start giving crazy fake impulse deals (showing 2000+ price crossed out when the monitor is always only like 500$ and then literally one time it was MORE EXPENSIVE on the sale, but with a much larger sum crossed out. that's straight up illegal marketing). Also I've tried some of their monitors and man, the colour is trash, the panel uniformity and true response time is not great, ordered 3 monitors, all of them had at least 2 dead pixels or more (one had 7). I tried asking them about the deals then my monitors, and while they did let me refund them they straight up blacklisted me. The monitor prices are great on paper, and honestly with some work they could be really good. They've payed literally almost every reviewer to review their monitors, I couldn't really find any ok-understandable reviews without them being sponsored by prism+. The monitors need some work, but most of all, they're doing stuff that's just straight up illegal. Oh and also they falsely advertise their monitors with A+ samsung panels, but in fact they're only B+ which might be why there are so many problems. I've gone with the Huawei gt mate view ultra wide and it's so much better, the refresh rate (144 vs 165), the price (better specs for the same price), the build quality (the prism+ isn't terrible but the integrated stand kind of is), the colours (10 bit), the response time, and also they didn't falsely advertise deals. It's not perfect (some overdrive errors and hdmi 2.0 rather than 2.1), but it's much better imo.
Sorry for the rant, I just got a bit pissed since I was genuinely excited for this brand.
Edit: Thank you so much for all the awards and upvotes! If you're looking for a good monitor and need help, please feel free to dm me, I'm a pc enthusiasts and I'd love to help. Nope I'm not going to ask for any donations/money/karma/awards don't worry, i'm just bored rn
Edit: Thank you again for all the awards and upvotes, so many of you guys are reaching out, I'm trying my best to help, just make sure you tell me your budget, use case, preferred screen size and aspect ratio. btw dont get tn PLEASE
In one episode, Schmidt said he majored in marketing, but in another, it said he majored in communications? What did he major in?
Am I crazy for thinking raids, which are end-game content, should you know...drop the end-game upgrade materials? Why am I basically forced to chain run GM Nightfalls as the main source of Ascendant Shards? It's such a huge time/material sink just to TRY a new build out. I don't even know if it's gonna be good or effective so it's a gamble of my already limited materials. I don't think it's too much to ask to get 1 Ascendant Shard for a raid clear. Or maybe let us exchange raid spoils for them or something.
It's especially bad for new players just like the majority of this game is. So many of the systems in place in this game are the opposite of new player friendly. The current way to acquire mods is a joke. I love this game, it's one of my most played games since Destiny 1 but good lord does it need A LOT of quality of life updates. I really hope Witch Queen addresses some of this stuff but I have a feeling it won't. Rant over.
EDIT: I didn't expect this to blow up like it did. I just wanted to thank Gbrew555(top comment) for the info about Master VoG and Master GoA being alternatives to acquiring end game upgrade materials. I was a bit salty yesterday when I posted this so I apologize if I came across in a negative manner. Happy New Year to everyone.

Every blue that drops (for me, I'm at max light, not sure if that's why) has 5 energy already.
If you upgrade it 3 times, spending 3 cores and 1 prism, to energy 8, and then dismantle it, it will give you 6 cores, for a net profit of 3!
Basically, you can convert 1 Prism into 3 cores.
Also works with purples of course, they just often drop lower than 5. Very handy
EDIT: And, as d3l3t3rious kindly pointed out, you can even just grab blue armor from the Leveling tab of your Collections, and they come with 5 energy as well. No need to farm public events!
I am new to this subreddit and not sure if this has been mentioned here. I'm seeing New Girl for the first time and I noticed that they have cleverly hidden Schmidt's first name on 2 occasions during the episode since they have not revealed it until now.

Schmidt's jewishness is not a plot point or special episode, he is consistently Jewish and often VERY Jewish. There are jokes and references that only Jews or people educated on Judaism would get. The schmata on my back? The mourners kaddish? The shema? And so many more.
I've never seen representation like this where it was just an underlying but consistent trait and not an episode plot point (ie Friends Hanukkah Armadillo episode, where the Gellers pretty Jewish in any other episodes? No) or overall story arc. The Nanny comes close but Fran being Jewish is truly essential to her character and the plot.
Jews have very scattered and often problematic representation, to have a real Jew playing a proud Jewish character who is so much more than just being Jewish is truly amazing. I'm so grateful, I really can't thank the writers enough for letting him be this Jewish and doing it in a funny and entertaining way where we are not the butt of the joke. They walked a very delicate line and did a great job (my favorite instance, when Cece says her mom hates Jews and Schmidt's response that she's in the majority, which could have bombed very easily but was hilarious and well done).
Max Greenfield is a treasure for so many reasons but he is so absolutely beloved in our community and I hope he knows that. I would like to keep this post a celebratory post about Max and Schmidt only 💕
*Please, I don't want to compare to other tv shows or get recommendations on other Jewish things. I've seen them, I promise. Please keep the post about New Girl, it becomes a debate about proper Jewish representation or criticisms of it instead of what the post is about otherwise.
He is my favorite character and has sooo many good lines, but for some reason the one that sticks out in my head is, “twenty nine… twenty nine..” I can hear it perfectly every time 😂
