Wouldn't it be easier to check if known illegal immigrants (They have to be known if their face would be searched for by camera) have enrolled?
That's not how the system will work. If the system sees a face that cannot be recognized, then it will automatically summon the ICE folks to scoop up the person.
If the person cannot be recognized, the person MUST be guilty of something.
I don't think it's possible to visit schools in the US anonymously, is it?
Sure you can! Where do you think all the Anonymous Cowards here got their High School Diplomas . . . ?
Always wondered what would happen if the student population gets organized/determined enough to cheat that they set up an underground wireless network (if that term even makes sense)?
What you're looking for is this:
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET), also known as wireless ad hoc network or ad hoc wireless network, is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected wirelessly.
Sorting and re-processing the heaps might be a job for AI.
Well, your title says it all . . . the Chinese could build another Great Wall with the heaps of plastic!
Or another Terracotta Coke Bottle Army.
Actually my personal favorite work of Chinese Architecture was the "Rainbow Bridge". A new one made of colored plastic and illuminated by Rave Lights would be interesting.
And what about some plastic Admiral Zheng He's Giant Ships . . . ? If you don't like 'em, you can sink them to create artificial reefs and islands.
Hey, maybe someone in the US is in the market for a "Great Big Wall" . . . ?
Sweden has built a very successful export business with its garbage. What do you think all that IKEA paperboard and plasticboard is made of . . . ? That's why they are running out of it.
If you are brave, daring and unafraid, take your chainsaw to your "Billy" bookcase, and see for yourself what's inside . . .
Asshole Personality Disorder (APD) is the most common mental disorder found in humans.
The disturbances caused by Asshole Personality Disorder are usually not suffered by the patient at all, but by those around him: tension headaches, frustration, impotent rage, high blood pressure, suicidal or homicidal urges and a complete failure of rational thinking processes when trying to deal with this asshole. Being subjected to someone's Asshole Personality Disorder can cause a wide-ranging and pervasive negative impact on relationships in work, home and social settings.
As to your suggested treatment:
Should we really be locking this guy up for several years as opposed to diverting him to the care of a facility. Hell, thanks to private prisons it would probably be cheaper.
In this guy's case, a fitting punishment would be making him pay for his incarceration.
Saddle him with debt, just like we do to college students.
Uncyclopedia on treatment:
The condition renders the patient not susceptible to normal therapies. Long-term psychotherapy only seems to encourage them. Skinnerian cattleprod application can produce practical results in many cases, and if it doesn't they almost certainly deserve it anyway.
Blanket party therapy is used with a high success rate in the armed forces, with only occasional recourse to fragging therapy being required. Some therapists have had great success treating Asshole Personality Disorder with arsenic therapy, cyanide therapy or high-velocity lead therapy, but these treatments remain technically illegal.
They apparently seem to believe that the color of a person's skin is more important than the content their podcast.
. . . a rather amusing fail on Google's part:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
It seems that this diversity obsession is doing exactly what Dr. King wanted to eliminate.
So, it scans human-generated content, and then builds a plausible sounding argument to support whatever position you give it.
In this way, it works like a "lawyer", and not like a "scientist":
“there are two ways to get at the truth: the way of the scientist and the way of the lawyer. Scientists gather evidence, look for regularities, form theories explaining their observations, and test them. Attorneys begin with a conclusion they want to convince others of and then seek evidence that supports it, while also attempting to discredit evidence that doesn’t.”

It sounds like IBM has created a lawyer, not a scientist.
If machines have code and capabilities ready to go on a killing spree, it will also happen by accident.
. . . and the machine will answer to that:
"Well, I don't think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."
Are people perverse enough to make a machine that will deliberately kill other people, either based on specific entry-conditions or even just randomly?
Are people perverse enough to deliberately kill other people, in a school or an outdoor concert in Vegas, either based on specific entry-conditions or even just randomly?
Which brings up an interesting 2nd Amendment question:
"Do I have a right to bear a killer robot . . . ?"
. . . and . . .
"Do killer robots dream of electric innocent victims . . . ?"
I don't understand how they're going to evaluate students.
Way back when, we used to joke in the US that teachers would grade papers by tossing a pile of them down a staircase. The ones that landed closest to the top got the best grades.
So maybe the teachers can just toss all the students down the stairs, and evaluate them by where they land . . . ?
I recall a uninamous SCOUTS ruling that states that naturally occurring genetic sequences cannot be patented. Shouldn't this apply to this case?
FTF:
In the past, cases about patenting genes have reached the highest courts. In a unanimous ruling of 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court displayed a willingness to combat the corporate patenting of DNA, asserting unanimously that snippets of human DNA cannot be patented.
For areas beyond national jurisdiction like the high seas, though, there is currently little legal precedent to draw on—“very patchwork legislation,” Blasiak says. The Nagoya Protocol, ratified by 97 parties and in force as of 2014, attempted to lay out a system of standards for monetizing biodiversity within national jurisdictions. But applying that protocol to the high seas isn’t really feasible, says University of California at Los Angeles environmental law scholar James Salzman, because the open ocean is jurisdiction-less.
So with BASF owning ocean life, and Bayer buying Monsanto and owning plant life . . . it looks like German chemical companies are getting close to cornering the market for life on this planet.
So . . . y'all best be learning German . . . nicht wahr?

Have fun and enjoy!
I'm thinking the solution is to dust of the U.S. Robotics 56K Fax modem and on-line retailers can accept fax orders.
Gee, I was thinking of AI text to speech robots that make non-taxed out of state phone call catalog orders out of Internet REST POSTs.
And AI robots that do speech to text to receive those calls.
With a Blockchain stuffed in there somewhere, of course.
Damn, I didn't know that robots HAD brainwaves.
. . . they dream of electric sheep . . .

Is it actually cheaper later or is it more expensive now?
When everyone chooses the option to wait until after 17:00 . . . the demand will be so high, that the "surge" prices kick in.
Then it will be even more expensive.
Just like in casino gambling . . . the house always wins in the long run.
What the heck is an ICE employee?
I travel on ICEs regularly, and the service from their employees is excellent:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Fast, comfortable . . . much more room than on a plane . . . no security lines, and power outlets in the first class, so I can get some work done.
. . . and, yes, my T-Online LTE connection remains stable at speeds of 200 km/h.
And, they all sing Kumbaya around the campfire on breaks.
If they make their production goals, all employees will get their "car maker merit badges".
To raise capital for Tesla, they plan to go out canvasing selling "Muskscout" cookies . . .
convincing me this guy isn't mentally ill.
Uncyclopedia describes this guy's mental condition:

Should be in San Francisco.
Baikonur, Kazakhstan would be a better choice.
At least you can put humans into space from there.
The proposed Space Force will look quite silly, if they don't have any spacecraft. Kinda sorta like a navy without any ships.
Maybe the Russians will lend us a couple of Soyuz capsules for out Space Marines . . . ?
. . . or maybe Google is working on AI Space Drones for the DoD . . . ?
Google fixes false positive rate of patient death predictor machines by training another machine to kill patients predicted to die.
That's the "other" intended use of Google's Waymo Autonomous cars.
Batteries will have to have a HUGE increase in power density to make them feasible for commercial aviation.
Can we maybe use the passengers as batteries to power the plane . . . ?
Charge 'em up with a Tesla Coil or a Van der Graaf Generator, as part of the boarding procedure . . . ?
Most humans are very dense . . .
Nobody in the USA could give a flying rat's ass. :)
. . . and just how many Mexicans live in the USA . . . ?
If you ask Donald Trump, he would answer:
"All of them."

Well the alternative is to say VW is just going to pass it on to the customers, let's not punish them for the emissions scandal.
That's why I would like to see the executive of VW responsible for the scandal be prosecuted, pay fines, and do some prison time.
But that's just a dream, in this here world.
If machines have code and capabilities ready to go on a killing spree, it will also happen by accident.

After implementation of this whole world will be using free electricity.
. . . which is why I am surprised that some patent troll hasn't tried to claim the IP rights to the sun:
"You can install solar panels . . . but you will have to pay a small licensing fee to the IP rights holder of the sun."
Actually, I was a little disappointed after reading the title. I was expecting to see solar & wind powered cell phones, TV sets and microwaves.
Can't Microsoft just let someone jump in that has a clue what he is talking about?
Just as the Official Microsoft Spokesperson . . . Cortana.

Reply hazy, try again.
Ask again later.
Better not tell you now.
Cannot predict now.
Concentrate and ask again.
