It's public data, it should be openly available, and yes data mining is commonplace for public data.....but it's PUBLIC DATA.
Ideally I would like to see all raw public court data published in an openly published format on a GIT server. The information would be open to general public for retrieval, and would allow private entities to develop effective ways to search and utilize the data...
^^EXACTLY THIS^^
The data needs to be maintained whether anyone retrieves it or not, so the only charge should be what it costs to retrieve a document, so bandwidth and the middleware that interfaces the court system to the Internet.
In the electronic age, an hourly/daily/monthly fee model makes much more sense than a per-page...For example, once search and retrieve functions have been developed, it does not cost more in development if they are used 5 times or 5 billion times. Storage is the same no matter how many times it is accessed (ok, maybe a small audit entry for every access). Server resources and bandwidth are used based on number of accesses, hence the hourly/daily/monthly fee for access...
In the end it is public data, it should be openly available. Yes it could get mined, but it is public data, that is the nature of open data - people could also find better ways to make the data useful. Ideally I would have raw public court records published in an openly published format on a GIT server that could be easily replicated and private entities could develop search and management tools for them that meets needs for different purposes.
Most healthcare providers around here already have electronic records (EPIC being dominant platform). Why not some open, standardized protocol for exchanging health data between systems? Records could be shared just like sharing a file in Owncloud/Gdrive/Dropbox....It would provide an audit log of every access and could be simpler than faxing
I wish I could mod you up.... there are standards for encrypting email that have been around since the 1990s, but no one cared back then and our current "app" culture rather use a trendy, usually proprietary, app instead following a standard...but then again most healthcare providers around here are already using electronic records (which currently send faxes to external providers), you's think there could be an Owncloud/Dropbox/Gdrive style sharing via https link/api (maybe some inter-provider standard for exchanging heathcare information). That would provide an audit log of who accessed information, etc..
Mankato is one of those weird arrangements. It's considered it's own market, but only has one full power TV station and not much else, mainly relying on signals from Twin Cities or Rochester/Mason City market to fill the gap....If you can find LPTV CPs for your area, you could start a system similar to Selective TV in Alexandria.
Also remember Fargo and Sioux Falls markets cover parts of MN also, in Fargo's case, almost the full NW quarter of MN...
In addition there are MANY translators (low power stations that retransmit distant signals) in rural MN communities..For example a translator coop in Alexandria offers more channels than most get in the Twin Cities. There is a similar setup in Wilmar and Walker. Bemidji has a few independently run translators, Roseau and Baudette have county run translators to bring broadcast TV to the areas.
RF is RF....As long as you have an antenna appropriate for the frequency being used, it doesn't matter what is carried on it. Keep in mind the advertised channel numbers are virtual, you have to look at the RF channel number to determine what antenna is needed. In the 2009 conversion, many VHF broadcasters moved to UHF and some UHF went to VHF (most had to transmit two signals for awhile, so it had to do with what spectrum was available - most stations just kept their digital signal where it was when they turned off the analog transmitter) and some changed sites during the process, so your antenna system from 1955 might no longer be appropriate. We are also in the middle of a TV repack where many stations are moving RF channels again. Everything above channel 36 is being given to the telcos. Check out sites like rabbitears.info and antennaweb.org to see what is appropriate.
You would ditch traditional "free" radio reception to force everyone to pay for IP connectivity from one of the major telcons (yes CON as in con-artist)?
There are no "full power" analog tv stations in the USA. They all ended in 2009. Many tried to extend analog operation, but were told by the FCC to either convert to digital or go off the air. There are quite a few LPTV (low power TV) and translator (picks up a distant signal and re-transmits it with low power) that are still in analog...The deadline for them to move keeps changing, originally it was 2012 IIRC, but now looking like 2020 or beyond. A big push to keep analog LPTV operations are the franken-FMs, analog LPTV stations that run on channel 6, who's FM audio carrier is on 87.7 Mhz at the low end of the FM band that can be tuned in by most receivers.
A Netgear consumer router is being used as a firewall for networks containing military secrets? Not what I would have expected, I usually use more robust firewalls on network I maintain.
A default password was left in place for a router on a secure network....FTP configuration from outside was left enabled on router...Against most acceptable security practices for any network
The USAF didn't do regular nmap scans and pentests of their networks from various points around the world that would have found this opening...They didn't regularly check sites like Shodan to see what shows for their networks... I do these regularly for networks I maintain...
With net neutrality in question, I advise people not to move to "cloud" services (remember, cloud == someone else's computer), as if their ISP doesn't favor the cloud provider, they are screwed!
I know I've been talking about rolling out a group policy to disable USB drives across our enterprise, but I get told I'm being controlling....
They have been our largest infection vector and, like this post shows, an easy way for data to walk out the door without an audit trail.
Incorrect use of DNS...DNS was designed to be very fault tolerant, but when you publish records with 30 second TTLs, so the authoritative server has to be accessed twice a minute, making millions of caching nameservers useless.
When you run TTLs less than 150 (like many of Dyn's customers), your DNS is no longer decentralized and fault tolerant....if you don't change your records often, use a longer TTL. Much of the effect of this attach could have been mitigated by using a 1800 or longer TTL...as long as a few isp and other common caches can get one response for each record every half hour things keep working
Why does everyone use such small DNS TTLs? Checking some of the domains (including twitter) that went down, their TTLs are all less than 200...are their networks so dynamic that 1800, 3600, 7200 wouldn't work? Would really minimize the effect of DNS outages...

This should be a warning about all "cloud" services. Make sure you have copies of your own data under your own control.

How come they didn't analyze Tubi.tv, Crackle.com, Filmrise.com, Pluto.tv...There is more than just Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and HBO

A FEW have given up their licences for payment by the Telcos during the current TV repack ... Definitely not most...
