Sweden's Transport Agency moved all of its data to "the cloud", apparently unaware that there is no cloud, only somebody else's computer. In doing so, it exposed and leaked every conceivable top secret database: fighter pilots, SEAL team operators, police suspects, people under witness relocation. Names, photos, and home addresses: the list is just getting started. The responsible director has been found guilty in criminal court of the whole affair, and sentenced to the harshest sentence ever seen in Swedish government: she was docked half a month's paycheck.

    Not supporting what he said, but Judaism isn't a normal religion in terms of joining it. Firstly it is genetic. If your mother was a Jew, you are considered a Jew even if you call yourself an atheist. In fact an atheist female Jew who has a child will also be a Jew, and so on. [Converting to Judaism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_to_Judaism) is a huge deal that involves complete immersion in the "Jewish life" overseen by a rabbi and a panel that judges a person a true Jew. And once that happens you're a permanent Jew. So you could denounce Judaism, become a Buddhist, and still be considered a Jew so long as the initial conversion was performed and passed properly. And once you pass the 'conversion test', you literally get a certificate verifying yourself a Jew. Your shtar giyur. That certificate would be necessary to do things like marry a Jew.

    In many ways it is more like a hyper ethnocentric race than a religion. Anyhow, just something interesting. I think most people don't really know anything about Judaism and just picture as being like Christianity (or really any other religion) but with different beliefs. It's its own unique beast.

    Jews today are of Khazar origin, it ought to be mentioned.

    The religious teaching of the Jews is principally a collection of instructions for maintaining the Jewish blood pure and for regulating intercourse between Jews and the rest of the world: that is to say, their relation with non−Jews. But the Jewish religious teaching is not concerned with moral problems. It is rather concerned with economic problems, and very petty ones at that.
    [...]
    On this first and fundamental lie, the purpose of which is to make people believe that Jewry is not a nation but a religion, other lies are subsequently based.
