Facebook Filed a Patent To Calculate Your Future Location (buzzfeednews.com)

Facebook has filed several patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for technology that uses your location data to predict where you're going and when you're going to be offline. BuzzFeed News reports: A May 30, 2017, Facebook application titled "Offline Trajectories" describes a method to predict where you'll go next based on your location data. The technology described in the patent would calculate a "transition probability based at least in part on previously logged location data associated with a plurality of users who were at the current location." In other words, the technology could also use the data of other people you know, as well as that of strangers, to make predictions. If the company could predict when you are about to be in an offline area, Facebook content "may be prefetched so that the user may have access to content during the period where there is a lack of connectivity."

Another Facebook patent application titled "Location Prediction Using Wireless Signals on Online Social Networks" describes how tracking the strength of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and near-field communication (NFC) signals could be used to estimate your current location, in order to anticipate where you will go next. This "background signal" information is used as an alternative to GPS because, as the patent describes, it may provide "the advantage of more accurately or precisely determining a geographic location of a user." The technology could learn the category of your current location (e.g., bar or gym), the time of your visit to the location, the hours that entity is open, and the popular hours of the entity.

Yet another Facebook patent application, "Predicting Locations and Movements of Users Based on Historical Locations for Users of an Online System," further details how location data from multiple people would be used to glean location and movement trends and to model location chains. According to the patent application, these could be used for a "variety of applications," including "advertising to users based on locations and for providing insights into the movements of users." The technology could even differentiate movement trends among people who live in a city and who are just visiting a city.
A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement: "We often seek patents for technology we never implement, and patent applications -- such as this one -- should not be taken as an indication of future plans."

    Die Glorreichen Rede von Reischsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler in Poznan (Posen), (Polen / Poland)

    Montag , Oktober 4, 1943 (04.10.1943)

    ...Das was wir in unseren Rustungsbetrieben leisten ... wird, wenn wir es auch erst am Schluss des Krieges ... aufrechnen konnen, dartun konnen, eine sehenswerte und beachtliche Leistung sein.

    Ich will auch ein ganz schweres Kapitel ... will ich hier vor Ihnen in aller Offenheit nennen. Es soll zwischen uns ausgesprochen sein, und trotzdem werden wir nicht in der Offentlichkeit nie daruber reden. Genau so wenig, wie wir am 30. Juni gezogert haben, die befohlene Plicht zu tun und Kameraden, die sich verfehlt hatten, an die Wand zu stellen und zu erschiessen, wie wir daruber niemals gesprochen haben und sprechen werden. Das war so eine Gottseidank in uns wohnende Takt, Selbstverstandlichkeit des Taktes, dass wir uns untereinander nie daruber unterhalten haben, nie daruber sprachen, es hat jeden ... geschauert und jeder war sich klar, dass er es das nachste Mal wieder tun wurde, wenn es befohlen wird und wenn es notwendig ist.

    Ich meine die Judenevakuierung, die Ausrottung des judischen Volkes. Es gehort zu den Dingen, die man leicht ausspricht. "Das judische Volk wird ausgerottet", sagt Ihnen jeder Parteigenosse, "ganz klar, steht in unserem Programm drin, Aus...schaltung der Juden, Ausrottung, machen wir, pfah!, Kleinigkeit". Und dann kommen sie alle, alle die braven 80 Millionen Deutschen, und jeder hat seinen anstandigen Juden. Sagt: alle anderen sind Schweine, und hier ist ein prima Jude. Und ... zugesehen, es durchgestanden hat keiner. Von Euch werden die meisten wissen, was es heisst, wenn 100 Leichen beisammen liegen, wenn 500 daliegen oder wenn 1000 daliegen. Und ... dies ... durchgehalten zu haben, und dabei - abgesehen von menschlichen Ausnahmeschwachen - anstandig geblieben zu sein, hat uns hart gemacht und ist ein niemals genanntes und niemals zu nennendes Ruhmesblatt, denn wir wissen, wie schwer wir uns taten, wenn wir heute noch in jeder Stadt bei den Bombenangriffen, bei den Lasten des Krieges

    I used to troll quite a bit, so I have some knowledge others might not have. I see how destructive trolling is, especially with the general decrease in civility over time. That's why I stopped and strongly advocate for curtailing the abuse.

    Occasionally, Slashdot deletes posts. I know, I've had a few of my posts get deleted. I've also seen other trolls have their posts get deleted. It's very infrequent, though, and there is absolutely no consistency to when posts get deleted. I'm pretty sure Slashdot occasionally bans IP addresses from posting. This seems to be different from banning open proxies. Again, I speak from experience, and from what I can tell, this is as inconsistent and infrequent as the deletion of troll posts.

    The infrequent response is more troubling than if the editors did nothing at all. It shows they're aware that there's a problem, otherwise they wouldn't be deleting any posts. Many people have opposed deleting posts because they view it as a free speech issue. If the editors were concerned with free speech, they wouldn't delete any posts. In the past, posts weren't deleted but editors would use unlimited mod points to mod the posts to -1, hoping ordinary users would focus on modding up good comments. At least there was some level of consistency in how the editors addressed the problem. Now we just get a half-assed effort from the editors, with no apparent thought or effort put toward solving the problem. They're not even standing on the principle of free speech.

    Everything about Slashdot in 2018 feels half-assed. I suppose I still read the site out of habit and the misplaced hope that the site will eventually return to the lively and interesting place it once was. Unfortunately, I just don't think the editors care about improving Slashdot.

    By the way, when I initially tried to submit this comment, I received an error saying "you are not allowed to use this resource." Slashdot is willing to censor users, so this is not a principled support of free speech. It's because the management seems disinterested in improving the site.
