Judge Says Public Has a Right To Know About FBI's Facial Recognition Database
schwit1 writes U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the bureau's Next Generation Identification program represents a "significant public interest" due to concerns regarding its potential impact on privacy rights and should be subject to rigorous transparency oversight. "There can be little dispute that the general public has a genuine, tangible interest in a system designed to store and manipulate significant quantities of its own biometric data, particularly given the great numbers of people from whom such data will be gathered," Chutkan wrote in an opinion.
That's why Linux is so dangerous and is never used for mission-critical systems.
lucm, indeed.
...the NSA made a memo to show Judge Tanya Chutkan some of what it knows about her.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
You're thinkin' Small. Exactly right. Safety is far more important than freedom, especially in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
then it may signal a major policy shift. Suddenly individuals have rights.
Will we first see the judgment overturned or the judge turned? Those low-level judges sometimes have lost all touch with judicial reality and think it can be reconstructed from looking at the Constitution. That's like driving a car with closed eyes and afterwards claiming that a tree was not on the map.
There are actually lot of mission critical systems that use linux, some modified some unmodified.
But in light of your comment, yes, a lot of places don't use linux for mission critical systems. In fact, they don't use a standard operating system, as they're not designed to be configured by users. They're designed to perform specific tasks, being built up from the ground directly to do those specific tasks and do them well.

It is amazing to witness how various forms of recognition is attained from an inmate. Everything from phone privileges requiring voice recognition mapping to recurrent DNA swabs become part of the norm. Otherwise, the penalty for disobeying these "rules" is a multi-week stay in the "hole."
It's unfortunate that someone with my education and my level of life experience had to experience federal incarceration, but the rebuilding of one's life also requires a public spread of what is and what is not the reality of the system. See my story: http://tminr.com/bio

Fuck you. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists! Or even worse, perhaps you're dirty stinky communist!
Whoosh!
I presume every time someone goes through the Automated Passport Control system they send the captured image, stamped with a passport ID, off to the FBI.
At least we know which group you're with, ya bootlicker.
Your "bio" reads like an ego trip written in the third person, with the exception of the list of felonies which you blame on being "young". As with most people claiming to be geniuses, you seem to be anything but. I know many people who have been repeatedly tested for a higher IQ than you, I may even be one of them. Not a single one places their IQ number in their "bio" or brags about their IQ. They have these things called accomplishments which attest to their intelligence without the vague emptiness of a number someone gave them when we were five years old.
I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but it seems overdue. Rewrite your bio and people may believe you have some remorse, instead of being a narcissist.
Who moderated this offtopic? Poe's law anyone? (not lucm here)
Every time you leave an electronic imprint, such as the image of your face, tagged with your ID, it goes to the DATABASE.
People live with the understanding of intelligence gathering of the middle of last century. There has to be a building, it has to belong to some agency, the information is accumulated to the the files.
Everything is now gathered in DATABASES, accessible to all the thousands of agencies and is being analyzed and will be analyzed in the future to figure out relationships between elements of the database records.
I can comprehend why a poor, desperate or drug addicted person might rob or steal- but a rich (marginally) intelligent person such as yourself has no excuse. You are truly the lowest of the low. Its a travesty that so many basically innocent people languish behind bars, but a worthless sociopath like you gets to walk free...
Right to privacy?
Do we really have a right to privacy? I tried to find some privacy in this modern age, but there was none.
I was not doing anything wrong, so I apparently have nothing to fear, but I still cannot shake that disturbing creepy feeling every time I use a digital device.
Privacy is dead.
Nice irony, cause apparently missed by some.
On a related note, Wikipedia or some other organization should do a comparison of epithets placed on Linux vs. Windows throughout the years.
And then, someone else should calculate an " Epithet Density " for the both.
Your first post is "poor me", your bio is "look how smart I am", and this post is best summarized as "everyone else is the problem". If you didn't claim to be a genius I'd say "maybe the guy just can't communicate" but that does not appear to be the problem. Claiming your victims are "alleged victims" is not a good sign that you are seriously remorseful, it appears to be more resentful. Look at the whole picture and figure it out. Looks like narcissism to me.
For society's sake, I hope that you are on medication to prevent an episode that results in someone getting seriously harmed. Alternatively you may just need to reconsider how you are portraying yourself, stop lying, and learn to communicate. Until you drop the "I'm smarter than everyone" belief the latter won't happen.
for those who don't get the sarcasm, northrop grumman is an exclusively redhat shop.
Most stuff made by them involving a computer runs RH. From the Blueforce tracker, to drones, to Fire Control Systems.
Not really a bad choice either. I've never seen linux powered weapon systems fail from software fault. Good choice of distro, RHEL, probably going to get the best support, with longest service life possible, on any operating system, peroid, hands down, no excuses.
Security through obsecurity is a bad thing. You can't just trust the government to simply act in the public's defense, in the public's best intrest without oversight. It just doesn't work like that.
>Think, people, THINK.
why don't you think about it how its going to work for its logical conclusion, and who you are really protecting. How it works is going to get leaked somehow regardless. If not to large criminal organizations and foreign spies by FBI employees for pay, which is generally how most leaks end up, or disgruntled FBI employees leaking it to something like wiki-leaks, where terrorists can benefit from it anyway, but remaining off the public radar, and not open for debate.
This has serious 4th amendment implications, and since we live in a democracy, its a matter of public policy and open for debate.
The policy is "how is the FBI going to use this", with the slightest bit of secrecy, the potential to spy on, and with that, harrass the general public into political submission becomes a reality. You can dismiss this as a conspiracy, but that is exactly what the 1975 Church Comittee(US Senate) uncovered was going on for the longest time.
Our problem, is that people dismiss evidence against the government as conspiracy theories on face value of being daming of the government, even if there is smoking gun proof.
Actually, the average american deems that 2.6 years should be the length of any prison sentence regardless of crime if you via statistics from the United States Sentencing Guideline Commission surveys.
You happen to have murder, rape, and quite a few other crimes in this generalization which makes it an outright lie. I'm not shocked, you seem to be full of lies, and worse you seem to actually believe your own lies.
Wouldn't it make sense for me to get back to work to pay these people back then to rot away in prison?
Well now, that is a very good question. You getting caught may have ruined your life, but how many lives did you ruin on your way to getting caught? At least as important, how many wrongs are you trying to correct? I'm guessing that it's only the ones you got caught ruining, and not all of them.
You claim that your victims are only "alleged victims", shucking responsibility and belittling the people _you_ screwed over in the same statement. You also seem to be pretty resentful for all that community service you have been doing as part of your early release. With what I have read so far even if you made a claim I would be a skeptic since, you appear to be a narcissistic sociopath. Not a mild case, enough to be criminal already.
Sometimes the logical ineptitude of the average person is quite shocking to deal with, and if I would've been punished for this same crime in various other countries such as the UK/Sweden/France/Australia, etc., I would have received much much less time.
Statements like this are exactly what I'm referring to. "poor me" and "everyone else is the problem" seems to be the trend. If you were half as intelligent as you thought you were, you would not make such obvious blunders.
Well... except for the Next Gen ID program that TFA article is talking about which just so happens to run entirely on Linux.
Oh sorry... did I break your chain of thought?
Fouad, is that you?

lucm, indeed.
Anyone building a database of law enforcement officers from legally obtained images? Use the same standards as the Government for "Well, we got it at a public location (stadium event, streets, etc.)" for accusation?
I deleted all my facebook data over 3 years ago. I saw this coming. I encourage all of you to delete your social media accounts now.
Social media is just one of the feeds to this beast.
