We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in.
Yea if only we had such a device just about everybody carried around in their pockets with a GPS, camera, microphone, gyroscope, radio etc. Now it would be ideal if only there were handful of giant service providers, so we could work with them to get it done. Naah, who am I kidding? This is America, we have rights, you could never get something like that done.
Professional knowledge in a subject is slightly more complicated than a buzzword can describe. But we seem to be evolving a culture of cite-reference-and-we're-done (it's good to cite references, but you're not done). Albeit we do have the cheap storage and vast information retention capabilities to the masses, but even major comedy productions go the route of, "Hey remember this other funny thing?" and that's a joke now (this describes the entire reddit culture as well, person A ("x was on y") => person B ("haha" || "booo" || "cool" || "kill yourself")). So yea, we need to realize learning everything about one thing isn't easy, it sucks, but if you want to, you need to climb the hill, oh and here are some bite size pieces of cool information to get you motivated. Unless we build genetic knowledge like insects, then yea it would be totally easy.
I have to agree here. There is a reason why scientists tend to keep names pretty simple, like Big Bang, Black Hole, x Dwarf, x Giant etc. Title should communicate a short overview, but one should keep in mind the range of people who would be interested in reading it. In the end what matters is if you communicated the entirety of the information correctly.
The feature could be available, but the user should be able to remove it should they choose to. Now if your car has the auto-stop feature, that might make things easier with the officer, then again a crook could simply turn it on just before they approach a cop, sort of like buckling up when you see a cop. In no way should it however become a required feature, we might "live in the future" but we still have slavery in today's day and age, lets not forget we evolve very slowly.
Perhaps the whole Internet Addiction is a real concept after all. I personally know a handful of my friends are trained to check their phones when they hear the "ding" the facebook app makes when you get a notification. Most social applications are designed to be addictive, and given they are custom tailored to the user's data that's not too difficult to code nowadays. Perhaps we should prepare infomercials for public schools and T.V. showing the dangers of not having an attention span (focusing potential) for more than 5 minutes like a squirrel on chocolate coffee due to constant distractions. This is certainly something the parents will have to teach their children, but I suppose that generation doesn't really have families of their own yet, nor do they see anything negative about it. Who needs attention span? *ding* Ohh! My friend posted his lunch on Instagram!
But no special rules occur, no loss of information - and no singularity.
That's such a one dimensional point of view:) We don't quite know do we? It's funny how event horizon seems to be flat. If you subscribe to Mr. Mandelbrot however, nothing is truly flat in this Universe, it seems likely that black holes aren't either. The whole idea of, "information is lost" when it's clearly radiating information out in the world of the very small and apparently random, "feels" impossible (hence the paradox). I certainly hope Mr. Hawking can prove what feels right:)
From a programmer's perspective. A moving object with detectable skeletal structure (can still detect legs, arms, torso) that's missing a face can mean a few things in a surveillence system. Zombie, headless horseman, or a doll animated by dark magic. Any of those things would be more of a point of interest than "another human with a face".
A moment of silence for our fallen innocence of citizen's trust. Da da daaaa... da da daaaaaaa.... *puts hat back on* So yea, you can do encryption with a pencil and paper, do we need to think about backdoors when we're doing that?
Seriously though, fine the phone is encrypted, locked, finito, can't get to the data in the phone. What about having a warrant for call records? You want the texts and call records, you don't need the phone. From there you got your list of people to continue the investigation. Are you seriously telling me looking at a person's Tetris score on their phone is critical somehow? Can we get some real law enforcement officers on the case?
Here's the million dollar question, whats stopping the killer from writing down a confession on paper, just working out the math by hand? It's pretty much sounding like, "Sorry citizen, you can't math."
I don't think it would have been a problem if this man simply took down the drone with a giant fly swatter. Point being, folks have no way of knowing if it's an ISIS drone, or an alien coming from down from space to probe your family. Got a drone? Fly it over your own property, or some public space.
Boss man walks in, in some unknown military institution:
Boss: -So uh, looks like the drones you wrote the "balance code" for have been dropping out of the sky. Programmer: -How? Boss: -Someone is shaking the crap out of the gyroscope. Programmer: -Well, uh... maybe we can insulate the gyroscope? Or write some grace period for manoeuvring from the input having a threshold? Boss: -Why didn't you think about this before? Programmer: -I didn't think it would be subject to a German opera singer sir. Boss: -Get to work!
So Kurds to Turks from a US understanding is like Iraqis (but think Iraqis who live in the US), from a UK understanding (or most of the West really) like Afghanis. Kurds are who Turkey's been bombing since the dawn of UN (P.K.K the Kurdish Party is officially recognized as a terrorist organization by UN) and everybody's been cool with this. Except now Kurds are back on the mainstream media because there is a new Kurdish party who has been gaining a bit of support (they accept LGBT citizens and have a more far-left liberal outlook) so it's bugging Erdogan a bit it would seem, given they cost him the majority of seats in the last election.
Now coming back to the issue at hand here, we really don't have the mental structure to freely exchange information as a society it would seem, and I see this from the perspective of any country today. Here's a tool (and I say this dearly for Facebook) to connect the world, and we secretly or outright declare, "You can insult anyone except Steve! Because Steve is cool!", which tells you something about how privately owned these communication tools really are, masquerading as proponents of freedom of speech and social media, or at least in the minds of most, it's like a phone. In reality however it's much like telling Bob to tell Alice to tell Joe to let Steve know his picture was liked. Well Joe isn't talking to Steve right now, so no, it will be taken down.
Such is the state of the planet. Star Trek tools, medieval operators. Albeit we as in the planet haven't been successfully able to implement a free tool for everyone since the dawn of time, I think Tesla tried that, free energy for everyone, and died broke in a hotel room somewhere.
Of course not. They're the good guys saving the citizens from bad propoganda. Besides the system is there to combat terrorism. You know, hide scary stuff from your precious eyes. Sigh..
I dunno, I was practising this new game I'm inventing in the privacy of my back yard where I violently swing a giant stick with a hand, and out of nowhere this robot just pops in front of my swing. How very irresponsible of the drone pilot to just fly into people's yards without consent. I inform my neighbours if I'm going play loud music, this is a nice neighbourhood. I demand that I get a replacement stick and a new Mickey Mouse hand! I want justice!
You gotta play it smart. You cannot fire a projectile weapon within city limits, sure. But what if you had a really long stick with a giant Mickey Mouse hand glued to it and you whacked it out of the air? That would be perfectly within his legal limits.

That's because this is slashdot. The title's a little misleading though, should've said, "AT&T CEOs Now Injecting Heroin"
So the cute little WI-FI hotspot version of big daddy NSA. Awwww
So we're not at the apply this vial of harvested-tears-of-Chuck-Norris-on-the-affected-area stage for cancer yet?
A good chunk of alternate ROMs have proved to be more secure than official ones. Cyanogen Mod comes to mind, if you can flash it on there of course.
So they're making a sun in a lab.
If I had the points, I would have modded you Informative my good sir.

Yes, sounds like Mr. Smoke'm-out over here is definitely the terrorism expert.

Well, I guess the human race does do some interesting things when compared to other mammals.
