That said, think about the world we are moving into as described by Bill Joy, then Chief Scientist at Sun Microsystems, in a now-famous essay published in Wired Magazine. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy_pr.html

Joy's point is that in the near-long-term technologies will be available that won't take huge infrastructure or ultra-sophisticated terrorists to use against us in ways that could be so devastating as to pose a threat to mankind in its entirety, including terrorists.

Joy's article wasn't aimed at the terrorist scene; it was more about the coming onslaught of technology in ways that we had hardly yet imagined.

Yet, implied are factors that plainly lead one to think that the only way to ultimately protect human beings in a largely technologically run, networked environment will be to deploy universal surveillance - and even with that we will face large challenges.

My sense is that the only way through this is Democratic societies will be to deploy what I call "metasurveillance" policies that permit anyone, anytime, to go into the network, log on, and see where one was watched, why, for how long, for what purpose, etc. In other words, perfect transparency.

This is the only way, with the major problem that those who pose threats will also have access, if they are members of an open society that values privacy. It's going to be cat and mouse. The most difficult part of this is going to be keeping those who would do harm away from information that would inform them of their being watched. I don't know if this is possible.

All that said, given where we are headed (read the Joy article, it's still spot on), I don't see any other solutions other than universal surveillance. We are going to have to protect rights along the way, or else we'll end up destroying one of the basic tenets of an open society.

I would love to hear other ideas in this realm, because so far what I see is people (me included) arguing that personal privacy should not be taken away, but intuition and the works of others tell me that privacy will disappear for the reasons that I and others have mentioned.

There was a time when privacy was hard to maintain; think of small village life prior to the industrial revolution. It's only with the rise of large urban complexes that anonymity became nearly ubiquitous. We evolved in small tribal cultures where everyone knew mostly what you were doing, anyway. So, one *could* argue that the anonymity provided by large urban complexity is a new environmental variable that we have yet to adapt fully to, in ways that protect out participation in that environment, including the (urban, networked) environment itself.

The network places us in one, large big "city" - how do we protect that and maintain individual rights? That's the conundrum.

The irony about the latest incarnation of DNF is that this time, it really was almost done. 3DR had finally hired someone from outside to manage the project and stop the feature creep and, by all accounts from people who'd seen the latest incarnation, it would've been a kick-ass Duke Nukem game.

Unfortunately the financial armageddon meant that 3DR needed some cash (they were probably funding DNF through various investment schemes) and so they were at the mercy of T2. Take Two decided that the Duke IP was worth more than just helping 3DR and so decided to screw them over. That incident a few years ago where George Broussard told T2 to "shut the fuck up" probably didn't help matters either.

This piece on Wired is probably the best write-up of the whole saga I've seen.

"£400 million ($668 million) will be spend on installing and monitoring CCTV cameras in the homes of private citizens. Why? To make sure the kids are doing their homework, going to bed early and eating their vegetables. The scheme has, astonishingly, already been running in 2,000 family homes. The government’s “children’s secretary” Ed Balls is behind the plan, which is aimed at problem, antisocial families. The idea is that, if a child has a more stable home life, he or she will be less likely to stray into crime and drugs."

Hi. You have a lower UID than I do, so even though very few people will read a comment at this level, you get a response.

80 g of powder at 1.77 g/cm^3 equates to a cube with a side length of 3.6 cm. No matter what shape you put it in, you cannot conceal it externally, from ANY of the three imaging modalities I mentioned in another post. All of them will see "something" that is that relatively large and out of place.

(1) Active narrowband millimeter-wave systems can easily image a piece of paper in your pocket. A pocket-sized packet of powder would show up similarly.
(2) Passive broadband millimeter-wave/terahertz systems measure radiometric temperature, and low-density substances such as foams, powders, etc., are poor thermal conductors, and somewhat different emissivity than skin (Trad ~= Tphys*emissivity), so one would need to control the physical temperature of the powder in a well-understood way.
(3) Active x-ray backscatter systems can see almost everything, so have no fears.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/01/iphone-hack/

overlooked and lurking behind this gadget envy is an important regulatory decision -- one expected in weeks on whether to authorize an iPhone jailbreak.

Apple said sanctioning an iPhone operating system hack would gut its business model. That plan has given way to more than 2 billion app downloads, in addition to an expected and much-rumored iPhone-like tablet.

"This would severely limit our ability to continue what we are doing as well as innovate for the future," Greg Joswiak, an Apple marketing czar, recently told regulators considering the jailbreaking proposal before the U.S. Copyright Office.

At stake for Apple is the very closed business model the Cupertino, California-based electronics concern has enjoyed since 2007, when the iPhone debuted.

The proposal, brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, would pave the way for third-party apps on the iPhone -- hence turning the iPhone into a blank slate to run whatever its owner wishes. That would be a huge financial blow, as Apple earns 30 percent for every App sold from its proprietary iTunes store, Joswiak said.

The proposed hack is part of the exemption process under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. Every three years, the Librarian of Congress and the U.S. Copyright Office entertain proposals for exemptions to copyright law.

The Zii Egg (dumb, dumb name) doesn't seem to be a real product. And the Archos Internet tablet got badly panned in a recent review.

Not exactly starting off with a great lineup of critters. This is what bothers me about Android: a bunch of manufacturers running off making half baked, poorly thought out products with an occasional bright spot perhaps, but surrounded by numerous mediocre products. Sounds kinda like the Windows Mobile experience. And we all know how well that's turned out.

There's still plenty of "power plays" and other VC games hyped throughout the issues.

If the government censors the Internet, then both nations will become Chinese-style states.

All nations drift toward Chinese style. The difference is only in speed. In the USA, for example, TSA demonstrated a few days ago who is the boss. You are posting on /. only at pleasure of the government, as it appears. You are perfectly safe, though, as long as you don't discuss certain topics of public interest.

We Westerners will not see any political improvements in both Belarus and Russia within our lifetimes.

People in Belarus and Russia will, however, see financial improvements in their life. That's what matters to them. They don't particularly care about random politicians coming out of the woodwork for a few years to rob the treasury, promote their pet projects and then be gone. Voting public usually wants stability, wealth, peace. Whoever provides that gets the vote. If the guy is good he is welcome to stick around and be responsible, in long term, for his policies. In the USA, for example, it seems to be a sport among Presidents to do as much harm as they can within their term and then run away from the wreck.

I thought this was common knowledge.

I've always wondered whether the NSA is buying billions of dollars of Ads from Google, or various other companies :).

They can always get the money. The US military has "black budgets". The US Federal Reserve refuses to disclose where trillions of US dollars has gone to and only a few people are kicking up a fuss about it (there's a persistent senator and even Bloomberg has tried, but they're not getting much traction - the citizens care more about the notorious bonuses which are much smaller in amount).

So it's a matter of whether they can disguise the transfer well enough.

That said, google should be able to make a lot of $$$$ if they ever dealt in stocks and other financial stuff, and used what they know. While it's not quite insider trading, they do have an advantage. And they could do something innocuous and profit from it: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/09/six-year-old-st/

I doubt they do the second thing though. As for the first case, I do wonder who are buying all those ads - I know a fair number are, but fact is google typically finds your organization and products well enough without you needing to advertise.

> but rather the dying spasm of an evolutionary adaptation that's no longer necessary.

Evolution is less about removing "no longer necessary", and more about removing "kills you", and keeping "if it works well enough", or "gives an advantage".

As for "dying spasm" and evolution, I'll ask this:

Does Atheism really give the atheist group more/greater evolutionary advantages and fewer disadvantages than groups belonging to the major religious beliefs?

Atheists have fewer ways to take advantage of the very powerful placebo effect[1] ( they also don't have the convenience of "invisible omnipresent person"- unless they somehow really believe in the FSM ;) ).

And they aren't that much less likely to get killed by some religious nutcase.

So it seems to me that the religious bunch might be around for quite a while yet. Why do you think they would be more likely to die out than the atheists?

[1] Which appears to be getting stronger in some cases! http://www.wired.com/medtech/drugs/magazine/17-09/ff_placebo_effect?currentPage=all

IANAL but you can't send someone a document to force them to shut up.

See Gag order. For example, see Librarians Describe Life Under An FBI Gag Order

"It sounds to me like Google lost alot of good will with such a high unsubsidized price."

They lost me. After many, many stories about free google cell phones supported by ads how can anyone not be disappointed by the $500 price?

I really don't see how Google thinks they'll sell any. $500+ is a huge bite, and $180 puts it in competition with $199 iPhone 3GS, so if you're deciding between the iPhone and Nexus price really isn't a factor. Couple that with 126,000+ iPhone apps vs 20,000 Android apps and the fact many Android apps don't run on lower-end Android phones doesn't inspire someone to purchase a Android phone.

Google seems to be shooting themselves in the foot, it would take a phone with lots of developer support to topple the iPhone. Only way to get developers is to show them the $$$$ like the iPhone does. Google needs to get the developers paid and make them millionaires like the iPhone does

i guess finding a missing writer wasn't that exciting, why not go for finding a missing convict?

i suggest wired take it to even the next level, and just go and challenge us to find osama bin laden

not a bad idea, since the combined might of the world's governments can't seem to do the job of neutralizing that symbol

However where things get interesting is when you introduce amazons reccomendation engine into the picture.

consider http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/tail.html , that was about a book that while conventionally published was relatively obscure being given a huge leg-up by amazons reccomendation system. Since afaict books published through amazons print on demand system automatically get listed by amazon I see no reason why the same couldn't happen for the better ones of them.

If (and that is a big if) conventional bookstores die out then afaict much of the advantage of using a conventional publisher will die with them.

Wired has slightly better coverage.

This is at best a moped, a far cry even from 2-stroke 125cc motorcycles. The ET-120 has some 70 ccs of displacement, producing (that's according to TFA) enough power to reach a top speed of 40 mph, no actual numbers on power or torque given. A modern 125cc 2-stroke motorcycle will produce some 33 bhp of power, 20 Nm of torque and reach top speeds in excess of 100 mph. At 280 mpg, its fuel consumption is quite nice, though, especially when compared to some 45 mpg one would get out of a standard 125cc motorcycle.

I don't know about anyone else but every person I know who uses drugs on a regular basis is a complete moron and doesn't have anything better to do than getting doped up and hanging out and talking with their friends for hours about nothing.

Most people you know who you say "do drugs" are probably doing pot, which yeah, is not very conducive to doing much productive in most fields anyway. Caffine is the most widely used stimulant, so I'd argue that most of the people you know are people who do mild stimulants.

It's worth pointing out that according to one poll 20% of our scientists already take "brain enhancing drugs," like ritalin. From personal experience I can tell you at least 20% of graduate students in the sciences and many more senior scientists do recreational drugs too, That portion that uses recreational drugs doesn't completely overlap with the portion that use brain enhancing drugs, and neither are the least productive portions of scientists.

So that's probably why we're stuck in the stone age, our scientists are too busy being morons and getting high. Or maybe you just don't really know what you're talking about.

And Twitter, like web forums, chat rooms or any other form of information transport on the Internet, is no different. It can be used for disseminating important information (like info about a terrorist attack in Mumbai), information that might be important to a select few (like updates to family and friends) or information that is really of no use to anyone (the stereotypical "I just used the toilet" tweets). Unfortunately, people who don't know anything about Twitter tend to focus on the latter group and claim that all of Twitter is useless. You might as well look at a few pages on the Web and claim that it is only a mechanism for viewing porn. (And, yes, I know.)

ahem. Roughly 1.5 million units in Q3 2009 is not untested and suffering from weak adoption for a new product.

You want to talk about weak adoption? Windows Mobile lost 28% in Q3 over a year before. In order to lose 28% share year-over-year in a market where your customers are typically locked into a two or three year contract you have to sell essentially none .

And that's just smartphones. Android also powers the hottest eBook reader this holiday season. They're sold out. If you order now you might get one in February.

Rhetoric was not just part of Obama's campaign. Rhetoric was his entire campaign...

Really? All rhetoric? No policy? Not, say, on Net Neutrality?

Not to say that some of the rhetoric wasn't impressive on its own. The speech on race that he gave in response to the Reverend Wright controversy showed some pretty strong insights.

It's not because people knew or particularly cared about his policy plans

Maybe you didn't. Personally, I got on board precisely because I thought some policy positions like the one above demonstrated some insights I didn't see elsewhere, or at least that he spent some time talking to the right people.

I'm perfectly willing to believe that a lot if not most people vote on rhetoric and symbolism -- what a candidate means to them, how it fits into whatever political narrative they've internalized. That's almost certainly true no matter which election or candidates we're talking about. But that's a really different statement from yours, which appears to be that there was no policy substance to the Obama campaign, and I don't think that statement is particularly defensible.

Yes, there is plenty of evidence it will matter to us. Sea level rise will cause displacement of coastal regions. Sea life will be screwed. More of Australia will be made uninhabitable. Here is a video of what will happen to the Ocean in a 2*C warmer world: http://www.wired.com/video/latest-videos/latest/1815816633/oceans-in-a-2c-warmer-world/57194711001

One thing that you rarely hear mentioned in the climate debate is that all those things are happening anyway. At best we can only slow the process down somewhat. No matter what we do, coastal areas will be flooded and fall into the sea, droughts will displace others, crop and grazing land will be destroyed. These are all processes that happen without global warming. We are going to have to adapt to them no matter what.

The unknown in the global climate system is how much CO2 is affecting things. We have estimates, but the true, hard cold fact is we don't know. There are no good peer reviewed papers that claim to know how much of the current warming is caused by CO2. Also, it is unknown what the precise effect of global warming would be. It is true that some climate models predict less rain in areas of the southwest US and other areas, but even the IPCC report asserts they are not reliable on a less than continental scale. There is some evidence that global warming could turn the Sahara green. In addition, there is strong experimental evidence that a doubling of CO2 would improve crop productivity, helping even the subsistence farmers.

This has already happened. Lack of growers, a major warehouse fire and generally increasing consumption caused a shortage on the spice that which gives beer its flavoring.

In the United States alone, there were an estimated 515 hop growers in 1950; 75 in 2000 and just 45 today[2008], Ward says. In 2006, about 2 million pounds of hops were destroyed in an S.S. Steiner warehouse in Yakima, equaling about 4 percent of the U.S. hop crop.
All the while, beer sales are increasing worldwide by about 1 to 2 percent annually. The craft brewing industry is growing yearly by 12 percent. That economic reality is pushing hop growers back into the fields.

it had to be forced to do it

True.

despite bogus claims it would destroy the economy

The cost of living, including electricity, is, despite gov't claims of low inflation, much higher than it was 30 years ago. One of the causes is huge number of gov't regulations in the past 40 years. It and unionism are why so much manufacturing have moved away from the US, leaving millions under-employed.

and leave millions freezing to death.

In the US, most in the Snow Belt heat their homes with oil or gas, not electricity.

this is why we see so much anti-science propoganda surrounding the issue.

I'd say that we see anti-science propaganda because of quotes like these:

"because geologists often don't have enough data to say definitively what went on millions of years ago, creativity is needed to fill in the gaps."

and

"there to spin a story from"

That was my first thought..No accelerated anything, crappy performance on anything more than rendering a basic webpage, totally lame. I also wonder if they could have picked WORSE timing with the FTC investigating and EU already fining them.

I mean first the have to cut a 1.25 billion dollar check to AMD for rigging the game with OEMs through bribes and threats, they shut out Nvidia from the newer chipsets leaving them to rot on LGA775 and making themselves the only game in town for the new sockets, and now integrating their shitty GPU, which of course will make it even easier to cut Nvidia's ION out of that market as well. WTF Intel? Do you really want a MSFT antitrust bust added to your company?

This seems to me to be the absolute WORST timing they could have come up with for this release. They should have waited until AMD came out with Bulldozer (which doesn't compete in the same market as Atom) and then popped out the new chips, so they could say "see? We are just doing what the other guys are doing!" but instead this looks more like trying to drive another nail into the independent chipset market, at least to me, and I wouldn't doubt the FTC and EU takes a close look as well. Stupid move Intel, stupid move.

There seems little doubt, based on this interview with the biographer, that he is indeed firmly entrenched somewhere on the higher end of the autistic Spectrum.

I feel a stronger connection with people like Perelman than the vast majority of my alleged peers, though still not an emotional one. People like Perelman have a more instinctive grasp of ethics than any neurotypical types. Another rather well-known person who I would consider very similar (if just a bit more social) is Craig Newmark, of Craigslist.org fame. Wired Magazine had what I thought was a very telling article about Newmark and his Aspie "eccentricities".

Eccentricities or not, if the rest of the world were to (voluntarily) take lessons from the ethics of those two men, the Earth would be a dramatically different place, indeed.

I'm not disagreeing with you here.

It was last year. It turned out better than we could have hoped for.

Not only did Google win the ability to attach any equipment to the network (itself as huge a win as the Carterphone decision), but the biggest deal - a nationwide block of 700MHz spectrum was not won by any bidder and still remains available.

So if the incumbent providers won't deal with Google fairly, Google can buy a single block of spectrum and give us what we want - truly open communications capability. Google has the cash to buy it, and the history to back up that if a provider won't give them what they need to meet our desires they'll go around them.

/btw, it's "jive," not "jibe". Jibe is a sailing term that means "To shift a fore-and-aft sail from one side of a vessel to the other while sailing before the wind so as to sail on the opposite tack." cite. In the colloquial Jibe! is a command to shift the sails so as to change direction promptly. It is in no way synonymous with "jive" which in this sense would mean "agree".

Oh come on... We've done a lot better than that lately.

Exactly what I was going to post! This is crazy. Also, I'd really like to know how someone drew the conclusion that she was a Closet Lesbian from her movie rentals AND that someone randomly picked her out of the huge database AND then took the time to find out who she was and then took the time to notify all her friends... All this for the interest of being malicious towards a stranger they will probably never see...

Seems a little far-fetched.

Also, the summary is poorly written because it makes it seem like the Zipcodes and Birthdays have been released when they haven't. http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2009/12/doe-v-netflix.pdf

http://it.slashdot.org/story/07/11/27/1334244/Anonymity-of-Netflix-Prize-Dataset-Broken Shows that it's possible, but it's not like anyone could draw a conclusion on Sexuality with any certainty by those means.

Also, after reading the article it seems like they HAVEN'T released Birthdays and Zip Codes but that this is only planned for the second iteration. They only had unique ids for users and ratings... The privacy was breached by people datamining other resources. From what I gathered... the people got the identities of people by matching ratings with IMDB ratings... Which in that case I don't think Netflix really provides any more information about someone than they have already made public via IMDB.

In order to protect herself from being potentially exposed, she decided to join a high-profile national lawsuit ... How many days do you think it'll be before her picture is all over the web

From TFA:

That's why the lesbian mom joined the lawsuit as a Jane Doe, according to the complaint
