Sith happens. But you're right, an interconnected world has done nothing to eliminate poverty. Now, we do have the technology to blow a whistle every time we detect a "microagression" until the subject learns helplessness and remains calm as a Hindu cow. But that's it really. Now we just have a group of people who feel "meh" about it, and another group who feel superior. All the interconnection did was to make said problems more visible. All of them, therefore none of them. You want to help the world? Invent a matter printer and scanner, then leak the plans to the world through several people simultaneously.
Right, why would someone whose job is to be examplary in public, and enforce the law have a problem with that being recorded? I don't think there is a solution here other than people just not being dicks about recording cops and taunting them to break the law, in turn cops could overlook minor incidents knowing it's not being recorded. That also being said, it's very situational because cops do indeed lie in court if it saves their skin or a fellow officer's, so it's only fair. Cops have a disturbing amount of surveillence technology at their disposal in this day and age, and access to records on each citizen they are interacting with (I was personally told "I'm supposed to be smart" according to the information). So yea, get over it and let everyone do their jobs in "the Internet of Things" *sighs*, where technology excuses you from common decency.
I think the point is that if something is made detectable, it will have an effect on that thing. There is a bias to our Universe, such as being made of matter instead of anti-matter, things spin to the right, and not to the left, and those which spin to the left get annihilated. Except in the world of the very small where time has little effect on the energy, and the moment those quantum energies are made detectable, they enter our system of things and change properties to adjust. The observer in this instance matters because it's the observer "who", chooses to conduct this experiment to verify a hypothesis. Without the observer the quantum interactions are in possible states relative to the classical physics observing it. Basically it's "put" into a symmetry so "we" can say it is, otherwise it remains as is and isn't at that scale.
Well, you can have all the RSA you want implemented. Truth is you're only going to get 99% secure, given it only takes a few minutes to undo all traditional security with a quantum processor. (Thanks Peter Shor)
Aside from the lack of available technology to properly secure everyday communications, we have horribly implemented ones like cellphone traffic. It is pretty straightforward to fake a tower, (even plop a fake tower on a drone) and capture phone traffic, send fake sms, so on and so forth.
What can most people do about it all? They can purchase a quantum computer with a few qubits and only communicate with servers secured in the same manner. This doesn't even begin to open the can of worms of compromised hardware from X nation. Every manufacturing nation builds some kind of backdoor (because why not, it's too tempting) in their products they put out to the market, for other people to use and be official bot nodes.
Apathy helps, because all one can do is wait for new tools that are actually secure and enjoy privacy until a 3 letter agency makes child porn and terrorists an excuse to once again intercept all that traffic and implement new backdoors.
Surprising Willingness? No, it's just that there is nothing the average person can do about it.
We're not watching you...
Who? Us? Over here!?! Stop watching us! Hello, who are you and why are you looking at me? Stop it! Stop listening, wait, who are those guys? Will you all just stop it? STOOOOP! http://i.imgur.com/697eU.gif

No seriously though, you should not trust people who are monitoring you without your consent, but you should trust that whoever has been is no longer doing so.
Just be like everyone else, join a team, join a group of people. Then those who monitor you can know that you are clearly part of that team and monitor you as a part of the whole. Never stand out, just stay under the radar, avoid all attention, and do your job. Nope, nooooo! Nooooo! Stop it! Good. Who are we? We don't exist. There's no one watching you, you're being crazy. Shhhhhhh get back to work. Will you just get back to work?
Smile:) There there, see I know you could do it. Who's a good employee? *rasberries* hahaha You're a good employee. puts headset down
*clicks "Next Misbehaving Worker"* Hey there. We're not watching you.

Oh look, somebody just searched for "pitcher of water", display pitcher ads.
Bob you won't believe how amazing these online ads have become. I wrote down "picture of water" and it immediately knew I got no water pitchers in my house.
Meanwhile...
Hey Jeff, check this out. The terrorist muslim woman we've been monitoring has naked pics on her phone. Hahaha, nice tits, "Hey Steve! Check out the tits on the muslim girl!" "Oh wow, I'm gonna get some coffee." *rolls eyes*
Meanwhile...
According to the algorithm people care most about Hillary this election season. Next most popular trend is lupus. We should put that on the ads, "Hillary Clinton will fight lupus!"
It's a technology problem because there needs to be finger print scanners on guns, or at least child proofing (make it really hard to squeeze?) Obviously the safety on the gun wasn't doing it. I think that's what samzenpus was going for. FTFY
Indeed without context it's purely subjective. The fellow in the article should have directed the guy who didn't call his game art should have directed them to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Although he gets publicity either way and I think that was the point.
Okay, if you can take the "Bloody Penguin from Yeti Sports" and simply give it a fresh look and walk away with millions, then "the intellectual value of design" is clearly there. Since it's samzenpus's pick I always automatically assume it's a monetary issue. The word "art" is much like the word "natural", everything and nothing is depending on the context.
An example of the value of art: http://news.nationalgeographic...
Personally, I learned how to code, and how to speak English all because of a game called Meridian 59 http://www.meridian59.com/, and am proud to admit, I still dream of the landscape from time to time. So John can suck it! (Don't tell him I said that.)
This just means Adobe ain't playing ball. They surely could have hired competent programmers who can code by now. I'm all for canvas and HTML5 of course, but Adobe is a visionary old man. I have respect for the ones who brought us sites like http://www.eye4u.com/ in the 90s when the Interwebs was just... plain and we had boxes that blinked. Browsers looked like local car sales commericals, big yellow exclamation marks and flashing text before Adobe came into the scene. Well actually it was Macromedia and Adobe just kind of absorbed them, but that's besides the point.
I'm sorry Adobe, we are the Internet. Your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.
... start looking more at the individual's past actions...
How? Deep, deep surveillance? That's the topic of the day. Where's that Snowden guy?
... wont look at someones race or religion as a threat...
But then how do you categorize people at the top? Who's going to be the next asshole (those guys over there suck! We rule!)? Individuals? Puhleeeease, get back in your herd, you're not special. As a matter of fact, where are your papers? You seem to be approaching me in a threatening manner, I'm scared and it's your fault! Empty out your pockets!
... Our fear is usually the result of our own downfall...
And we usually fear new technology, we're still dealing with this.... Internet, and all these "smurt" phones. God knows what you'll do with your smurt phone, we can't let you own something you paid for, that's too much power for you criminals, erm citizens.
I agree with you. The Constitution pretty much states: "Don't be a dick. The English were, that's why we're here and not there, shit can get pretty complicated and people can legally become slaves to the King. So you're free (ish, slaves aren't really one of us so, don't mind those guys) and we won't document your every fart 24/7-365. Also we're not going to charge you money for bullshit reasons without showing you clearly what we're doing with it. Our whole purpose is to make sure this game doesn't break apart and make sure no single power owns it all. Right now that's the case with England so screw those guys, lets just raise our families here away from all that monarchy in peace. Thanks."
That should be the spirit of every law as it's the core abstraction of our nation. So yea, fuck Putin, that asshole! Who does he think he is? Taking over Ukraine and shit! What is he gonna do? Bomb brown people next? Heeeell naw, you Internet controlling douche bag!
(samzenpus was useful for a change, that's quite refreshing.)
Because that wouldn't be economically feasable? Somebody's got to be the big guy, it's an ugly position, but it's a necessary evil nonetheless. Not to mention inevitable. Pretty sad, but such is the human condition. You can't make the world better today unfortunately, only different. Replicators, space travel, and teleportation should keep us busy until the next millenium.
Misleading title indeed. I think what is worthy of attention here is that wireless "security" cameras aren't very useful unless they actively shift their frequency and amplitude based on the environment, and send out an alert along the lines of, "We are under attack" through cable means. Hey, there's an idea, too bad frequencies to shift inbetween are severly limited by regulation but should thwart a noob with a powerful transmitter.
Are you kidding? That is super cool. Make a phone call, "Hey, can I get a bottle of Pepsi in the middle of the Sahara?" 5 minutes later it's delivered and the messenger goes up in smoke like a genie. I mean next best thing would be teleportation but yea, or a catapult and your Pepsi parachutes down.
Exactly, it's just that now they have to compete with Victoria's secret, Maxim and so on. We flooded the nudity market with boobs, so their value went down. Playboy had a meeting and asked a very vital question, "Whatever happened to that Princess Leia outfit?"
I ran electricity through a moist fart cloud once, similar to the processes found in the human brain.
Besides the point... molecule sized transistor, atoms for hardware, light as processor, we're getting some cool stuffs soon. Only bad part is, none of those parts will be on ebay anytime soon.
So maybe we can hack the program to attack, I don't know, Pearl Harbor? Better be some good code running on their own hardware by people who eat nigiri for breakfast. When it works it would be awesome, but when that update goes wrong it could be hell.

You missing the point. There is nothing to "see" without illumination, which has an effect.
+1 For Star Trek! Today we are all thanking the Dutch for bringing us one step closer to a secure Internet :D
It's probably more like a two ended whirlpool, like a really tiny wormhole. It just doesn't break apart until it's "measured".
