If you think hyper-Constitutional surveillance is alive and well only in the nations that constitute the communist regimes in business during Orwell's lifetime,
you, sir, are definitely too trusting and optimistic in general to post so hatefully here.
Some of these people were being improperly classified as conspiracy theorists.
I am aware there are some who see conspiracy at every turn, as if no event on the radar could simply be happenstance. Shit does just happen, sometimes.
But, there were many who read Orwell and were convinced government would eventually devolve to this. Whatever they used to be called, it can now be said they appear prophetic.
Your point is not without merit. Law enforcement is a sometimes thankless, dirty, ugly job that pays far too little for a vocation in which other folks shoot at you.
OTOH, I assure you the people enforcing the laws already have many, many electronic surveillance tools already at their disposal.
Do those with access to sensitive information routinely abuse that privilege? I would say the evidence is pointing in that direction.
I know of several people who were dismissed as tinfoil hatters prior to the Snowden revelations.
just saying.
Facial recognition programs on 300 and umpteen million folks(Your Metrics May Vary), to rightfully monitor 10,000 with legitimate probable cause? I'd rather be free than that safe.
In 2010, she began a new journey at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business to pursue more down-to-earth endeavors in the private sector.

Government jobs in Korea are similar to the ones in the West... they're no place for the gifted.
I think our meatbrains are finely tuned to circumstance, mood, tone, innuendo, and sometimes expression to formulate responses calculated to produce the desired effect.
Much of it is likely subconsciously derived from thousands of prior interactions with our fellow organic computers.
I think the complexity of social interaction is imitatible by AI in theory, but we're talking a few tech advances away from Wolf! Right here and now!
From now on, if somebody-somewhere-for some reason, keeps records of my comings, goings, and preferences, I will be under the assumption some governmental 3 letter acronym has instant access to this information.
Articles such as this will henceforth only be of interest to me if they include examples where my data is not collected.
Whirrr...click. Adjustment Bureau confirms your new filter parameters.
The article claims the metal does a better job of blocking 100% of the blood flow supplying sustenance to the tumor than other available options, and is less likely to wash away.
The researchers further posit that since the injected substance is metal, it is an ideal conductor for use as a method of delivery for electrical current to heat up and destroy the unwanted tissue.
Are these plausibly benefits not afforded by existing techniques? I know we get a cancer cure story every fortnight or so, but I, for one, welcome the continued research even if it rarely pans out.
Although it seems like they've recognized and are addressing a minor engineering issue before it becomes a problem, it seems like this will be portrayed as another in a continuing series of black eyes for the nuclear alternative to our energy needs.
There is no present, perfect way to deliver the electricity those of us on the grid have come to appreciate. When you're talking about the mainstays of the grid's backbone (coal, crude, gas, hydroelectric, nuclear), none are generated without environmental consequence.
Continue to develop the renewables, but for fuck's sake, don't take nuclear off the table based on the performance of aging plants.
You can not economically filter out things dissolved in water... reverse osmosis comes to mind and I suspect there are other methods involving distillation.
Red Tide, which happens in other coastal areas as well, is a phenomenon that's been occurring for centuries.
Undoubtedly, there are anthropogenic influences on this and every facet of the environment. Rightfully so, restrictions on fertilizer use are already in place, or pending in, affected areas.
Though it is inconvenient and unprofitable in the short term, the collective conscience of the governed requires the governors to care about and remedy shit like this.
Jelly's comments suffer in quality when his Ritalin prescription is used up only half way through the month.
There's a comment threshold feature that effectively eliminates your ability to see low rated comments, which these ravings are rendered to with a quickness thanks to a rather decent moderation scheme.
Caveat: two or three of the smartest things I've ever read on here were, at least at one point, low threshold.

Sales in foreign markets are plummeting as Cisco suffers the political fallout of being an American-based multinational.

I'll bet you don't get carded much these days either.
In fact, most pedophiles who prey upon boys are straight...
Mack and John were eating lunch at the truck stop when a man John didn't know strolled by the table and said to Mack, "Hey Cocksucker."
"What's that about, bud?" John asked his friend.
"I've been a truck driver for thirty years and no one ever referred to me as Mack the trucker. But you suck ONE dick!"
well,
it's time to take a good look at ourselves.

Not exactly. It's recruiting package "B" for the virgin-averse.

Though since this is Slashdot, there's virtually zero chance this is the first (or the last) instance of a disgruntled nerd with some coding skill.
Can't you just picture the editors, worked up into a frenzy this Monday morning, feverishly pursuing a solution?
Dictatorship.
That word.
You keep using it.
I don't think it means what you think it does.
It goes to scale.
The one that measures influence.
I am certain there's a plausible six degrees of separation link that you're overlooking.
