- Agents sent to the field might be swayed by emotional or logical appeals.
- Remote surveillance means a permanent record and centralized control of both the data and the people using it.
- Social unrest is a threat to a police state and the status quo so "they" are doing everything to quell those things before they become popular enough to affect change.
- To paraphrase Alan Watts, all big institutions exist for themselves and their own continued existence and not the people they purport to serve. Remote everything plays to the military industrial complex's strengths. The machine intends to stay in power.
and am very much against this. Not everyone thinks alike despite generalizations for convenience/blame.
I already got modded down for saying what someone else got modded up for saying - this is another move towards corporate control under "globalization"; a stateless evil entity is much harder to contain and bring to heel than one based in an actual country with (physical) assets to be seized.
across multiple machines. But I also have 2.5 TB of media, and counting, and have multiple 4 TB drives for that. I don't see that changing for a while given that a 2 TB SSD is ~$650, and I could buy an array of 4+ TB drives for that.
3 letters, TPP. More is coming. This is part of corporate globalization. Once they divest themselves of their countries of origin they have to answer to no one, right?
Slippery slope. Very slippery. Oh look the ??AA just lobbied to get torrents listed as malware traffic legally and now ISPs are required to go around policing which is what the shit lord copyright trolls have always wanted.
They will also try to get you to sign up for some promotional shit that's cheaper in the short term than just the bandwidth but includes the tv (until the 6 months or whatever runs out then it triples - Yea I have Comcast, that's why it's called Triple Pay right?:))
they're trying to mitigate the damage cord cutters are doing (haven't had cable tv for more than 10 years; still have comcast for internet no good alternatives) and keep their earnings projections from tanking and taking their stock with it.
... and likely a member of a teacher's union with a vested interest in the current lack of accountability.
I work in IT. No unions. Vested interest? Yea. I'd be out of a job (again - it's not like it doesn't happen anyway). I made that pretty clear I didn't pretend to be completely objective.
I also work in schools that are already partially charters where the charter can fail under the public school name. I've also seen several failed charter schools roll back in to public and be even worse than they were before they went charter in the first place because of state DoE intervention.
Charter schools in most states are required to select their students using a public random lottery. There is no "cherry picking".
Not in my state. Someone else also mentions what has to happen to get rid of disruptive students. I can tell you in the public schools I work at it's bad because the charters have stolen away kids and resources, so to keep the money - which is based on head count - it pretty much takes a felony to get a kid kicked out and sometimes not even then.
Free advice: By referring to students as "inmates", you don't sound like you have much objective credibility. You would be more persuasive if you avoided that sort of language. Focus on swaying the audience, not insulting your opponents.
I suggest you stroll through some of your public schools in poor areas. They are prisons, be they fully public or pseudo-public charters.
They exist to turn a profit. Education should not be for profit. They are literally filter feeders and the kids get what's left over.
I work in K-12. I've seen both sides first hand including hybrids. Public schools could be better but Charters are a step back.
They're essentially the same as the privatized prisons only they can cherry pick their inmates to look better than they are while cutting as many corners as possible.
and he got fucked over by his own party since they were already in Hillary's pocket before he started. Unfortunately he decided not to go back to being an independent once he has people's attention.
until they billed me for a year without my consent by changing my shit to auto-renewal without notice or asking (I was already getting tired of the small circle of songs on most of my stations anyway).
I canceled and never looked back. I don't stream shit now - fuck that - I'd rather have the files and the quality and control that go with them.
Can you still open their.xml and see the next umpteen songs you're gonna get whether you like or not? =)
where they will use every metric you can imagine and quite a few you probably can't to track this girl the rest of her natural life.
Also, don't they claim ownership of everything posted? Maybe she should be telling Facebook to take them down and if they don't comply sue them instead.
Facebook has dark profiles on people who don't have accounts. They do facial recognition and other shit to harvest as much data as absolutely possible. Embarrassing or not her parents have murdered her privacy for life. Damage is probably already done.
The intended purpose of a corporation is and has always been to make money above all else. Some people might have ethics, (largely) companies do not. Many other countries (mostly in Europe) do capitalism in a way that is far more beneficial to the worker than America does.
Other places like China/India are trying to out-evil us in the race to the bottom. India has a massive worker strike going on, probably the largest in history, I saw that on imgur, not covered in major media.
It should be obvious that the only reason a company would use an algorithm to manage people would be because it's cost effective - regardless of how exploitative that is likely to be as a result. I'm not sure a computer could care less about people than almost any given fortune 500 board of directors already doesn't. Sociopathy seems to be a requirement and seen as a boon for investors (who are mostly YOU and your retirement fund managers that you've never met).
I've never had any special love for Apple and especially not bluetooth anything. I read a bunch of posts there which I think this article from lifehacker mostly addresses.
tl;dr - audio compression, dead batteries, overlapping frequency ranges from other shit make bluetooth suck (although supposedly less so than in the past). I don't claim to be an expert just a reader.
I'm guessing the difference is people won't notice a flash drive where as they would notice a sheared off lamp cord as "do not want". IE easier to get away with it.
Why bring a product to market that you can't sell because it's illegal? First you have to buy the laws you need. Worry about the product later. I doubt it's coincidence this is in Michigan.
this will just be used to collect biometric data of anyone who touches the phone and then be coupled later with other data to mine for ad scum and other equally vile and nefarious purposes?
I think it's interesting that Tim Cook comes out as some big privacy advocate but iDevices have unique advertiser ids and they're doing shit like this. It's more like who-can-be-most-evil-first race to the bottom of totalitarian turn key nightmare waiting to happen.
story. I very much want to know this too. I don't have a Facebook account but all family and whatnot do. I try to get my g/f to not post pictures and things of me but she does it anyway. I would love to see the profile they have of me (and what recourse there is for its removal). I have no doubt that there is one.
Slashdot Mirror
can't have people killed by drones like Hillary tried to do to him?
How is it that every time this shit gets posted that part is left out?
Even when that information is provided by links and voted +5 Insightful it still ends up at the bottom of the page.
PS - I think both candidates are a joke. But Assange has a perfectly good reason to hate Hillary.

the Microsoft of Linux - although Microsoft is trying to be that now. What they've done is no surprise.
obviously.
It doesn't even matter since they will share/steal from each other anyway.
Great it's about time ADs got this kind of treatment.

plays in to this. Very curious indeed.
"Moscowâ(TM)s government has already switched Cisco Systems Inc. technology for city surveillance cameras to local software"
Leaks also cover the CIA intercept of Cisco gear en route to places by NSA for spyware installation.
This seems to be about national security more than the money despite their claim.

Step 1.) Embrace - "Now you can run bash in windows!!"
Step 2.) Extend - "But why would you want to with powershell!!"
Step 3 is left as an exercise in learning history to any read under, say, 25 years old.

tly, looking for a good solution for my personal use case at work. I've found to be a gold mine of information.
