I have arthritis. I can't apply consistent pressure. Changes day to day. Used to have trouble signing for credit card purchases.
The data gathered would likely spike to higher risk only in incidences when individual behavior is uncorrelated with baseline activity.
In your case, consistent pressure changes in your grip may be used as a lower risk score, and your risk of being misidentified would only increase during the rare(r) days when your grip is constant and firm.
Since Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics didn't even ensure safe artificial intelligence in the original story, unless you believe we need to be protected from ourselves by a benevolent computer overlord (at the expense of our freedom of choice).
If we were somehow able to implement an infallible system of rules, which Asimov showed is not as easy as it sounds, protecting the ingrained instructions within the artificial intelligence from future tampering would represent quite the security hurdle.
Given many in industry have appeared to give less than a damn about security up til now, what is the chance we would be able to trust them with this important consideration?
The sad truth is that folks often give up their right to bow out of the conversation, waiving their right to be silent, if you will... no right stands long if it is voluntarily surrendered.
I am not wondering. These robots look "cool" in YouTube videos, but are ultimately useless.
Maybe so. Likely, they're not uploading the videos that show the 'bots tripping over their feet running through the fields.
Yet, if these early renditions can be this agile for even a few moments, research and development is underway to extend these traits exponentially... as with all new technology.
Bernie would have done the same. Much of the Trump Administration is Bush people. Much of Bernie's would have been Obama and Clinton people. Trump is relatively hostile to tech CEOs wanting to expand immigration. Obama's administration had weekly meetings with their lobbyists.
Interesting. It sounds like you're saying the Presidential election is but a spoof of democracy that rather falsely reassures the electorate that they're actually in charge of who runs the government. If that's true, the people who really hold the power control the bureaucrats, rather than the elected officials... makes sense, since appointment might be easier to control than election.
H-1B visas are good as long as you work for the sponsoring employer;
but, when the worker departs the sponsor, he has to find employment with another company qualified to use imported labor, seek a status change, marry a local princess, or depart the country.
Optional Practical Training applies initially as an extension to students with F-1 Visas, although several extensions have been approved in recent years.
How the hell do you evade taxes anyway? Do you wait until they're catching up to you on the highway and you suddenly veer off the next exit?
Not the next exit... the next-next exit.
Once evasion is suspected, they're looking for you to assume departed status as soon as possible. You have to like the Kansas City Shuffle at a time like this.
Even when a preferred class of stock is not issued, corporate debt repayment is often structured to protect the common stockholders last in any liquidation scenario.
To add insult to injury, they amended their convoluted definition with the vindictive and linguistically paradoxical statement that "a dwarf planet is not a planet."
Very precise.
It outrages me, that in our present revolutionary epoch, in which the right not to be offended has materialized ubiquitously upon social commentary sites, that it's okay to to call a dwarf planet less than a planet.
The interesting thing about calorie counts is that, while they undoubtedly offer more transparency around the foods we choose to eat, there's not a lot of evidence to show they affect people's purchasing decisions.
There are folks you cannot reach despite all the evidence you can muster... nonetheless, please continue to provide that information for the folks you can.
Balderdash. Personally, I abhor shopping in stores that have reduced human employment by use of self-checkout, and I vote with my wallet.
Sure, I use Amazon and other online companies when the price discrepancy is significant, but, I will pay a bit more to keep local brick and mortar shops open... if for no other reason than to promote competition, and the very survival of local stores.
Demanding as close to zero risk as possible in spaceflight missions is good for the few humans aboard, but slows development of the field for the rest of mankind. Accountability for government agencies and a free press actually work against development that costs us human lives.
It's why I've always assumed a nation such as China would lead the space revolution.

There's no choice. It is the only solution.
You cannot depend on governments to guard your privacy. Snowden's disclosures showed the 5 eyes / 11 eyes / whatever group wants to harvest your data just as much as FB and G.
And even you could trust Norway or whatever, what about all the people who don't live in a nice friendly western democracy? What about those living in repressive regimes?
No, we have to protect ourselves, and take back our digital privacy.
And why shouldn't people be expected to understand what they are doing with all of their data? We expect drivers to understand the rules of the road. We expect pilots to understand how to safely operate airplanes. We expect HAM radio operates to abide certain rules to avoid destroying the common medium. Why shouldn't we also expect internet users to act responsibly toward the internet, and stop supporting the worst ideas?
We let anyone flood not the net in the 90's without a shred of comprehension or willingness to learn. We sat by while they made terrible choices, while they made companies like Facebook into international surveillance behemoths, while they spied on we who made better choices by acting as proxies of FB after installing spyware on their own devices.
No... it's long past time to expect better, and for there to be real consequences for those who act poorly, just as we remove driver's licences from people who abuse the public road network and endanger others.
No law can solve this. The solution can only be cultural.
Your post is filled with wise observations and sage advice.
Once rationality is restored to the majority voting populace, it'll be clear to us that the government works for us, and things like our privacy are off limits to the data collection efforts of corporations and governments alike.
We're in, virtually, no danger, unless the slow thinkers somehow out-breed the erudite.
None of this is actually new, of course. The Cambridge Analytica mess may have increased public awareness, but getting people to spy on each other has always been the thing that made the data-hoarding social networks most effective (and most dangerous), and plenty of us have been criticising it for a long time.
The recent change is that we're starting to see privacy laws, such as the GDPR in the EU...
Pretty much spot on... Prior to computerized social media data mining, realms interested in information gathering relied on more intentional (and undoubtedly less accurate) ratting on each other.
The only flaw in legislation that protects privacy laws is the people who have the most to gain from defying information gathering restrictions have the least to lose when caught in violation of them.

The FCC is a shill for ISPs... pretty much as we suspected.
Well, there's always regime change to look forward to.
Two tricks come to mind:
1) Pay your bills.
2) Don't take loans on things you can't afford.
2a) Don't take loans at all, save cash and buy low mileage 3 yr old cars.

Easiest way to get back on your feet? Miss two car payments.

Heh. You don't suppose youtube could serve a not so delicious cookie to your IP address that you didn't request, do you?
But yeah, it's probably that Benedict android phone... perhaps you could fabricate a miniature tinfoil hat for that malevolent little bastard.
Powerful people (and corporations) do not retain elite legal representation solely to interpret the law for them.
They retain the best attorneys to advise them how best to accomplish their goals despite the laws.

Reality is what it is, it is not a democracy and it doesn't give a shit whether you like it or not.
Nothing to add... munches popcorn... just thought it should be repeated.
I understand that Pluto prefers the term "Gravitationally Different" to the term "Dwarf"
Exactly. It's perfeckly acceptable to refer to Pluto as a G.D. Planet.

If your observation is on target, we're doomed, since releasing the blue smoke is typically indicative of the culmination of the afflicted module.
I perused the first two or three paragraphs foregoing the instinctive judgement to label this submission as an advertorial.
Fortuitively, discovering they released a slick video about the venture, my fears were assuaged.

Do I have to limit the amount of semen I deposit into your colon when fucking your ass?
All I can say is Thank Goodness your semen is going into an orifice in which reproduction is an unlikely outcome.
