There are also a host of other huge issues with FirstNet
* They have a limited (meant minimum to meet requirements) number of mobile cell trucks to respond to disasters that take out cell service (ie. if an incident/disaster knocks out all the cell towers in the san francisco, they'll have enough to give basic level service [text, some analog calls, and emails], but if disaster strikes anywhere else in the region, they won't have enough trucks to support the greater San Francisco Bay Area). * Network is nowhere close in terms of coverage than current LTE, 3G UTMS, 2.5G(EDGE), and 2G(GRPS) coverage. * No bandwidth limitations, but they'll have limited equipment so it'll be poor in service where current cell service is poor * Verizon didn't put up a proposal during the RFP process because they knew that it would cost too much and that they wouldn't be able offer a level of service deemed acceptable to the letter of the contract. Verizon is known to not give out an RFP when this is the case for many projects open for bid, whereas AT&T's game is often to provide a service through a 3rd party subsidiary, collect the money, have the subsidiary stand up a garbage product, and then cut the 3rd party loose if there are any charges of wrong doing or contract breach.
FirstNet is garbage. Check out the meeting minutes at firstnet.gov
I sort of see this as a stopgap so that the costs of Medicaid, Section 8, SNAP, and other similar low income assistance programs don't skyrocket over budget causing politicians to potentially de-fund them.
I see UBI as a completely separate solution which doesn't exactly end the need for assistance programs. Because does it make sense to have people pay for medicaid or snap when they are being provided w/ UBI? It should already be pre-paid.
Though if it's the accounting method, I can see that citizen X is being provided with UBI at a value of Y and these are the amounts being deducted for the assistance programs they participate in.

basically you use laser 1 to make the gas "sensitive" to a very specific frequency. then you use a second laser with an optical sensor to identify the minute differences which can be demodulated into audio or digital signals, or whatever is useful.
Yeah, I just can't wrap my head around it. They're just refusing to develop a non internet connected app.
Either that or they don't want to go through the TS-SCI Lifestyle Poly because it'll reveal that they've murdered people, openly supported sex trafficking, CP, and net neutrality.
Good to see Kira working well at Morgenroete, Inc working on the Natural OS. Eventually, we'll be able to take out that ZAFT scum and claim space for the Earth Alliance!
Agreed, it would make landscape photography from 35,000 feet much much more expensive.
Also, In emergencies, people rarely act calmly and logically, but they do act fast. The system could fail and people wouldn't be able to determine which direction they should be exiting the plane. For example, in the situation the plane might land near an environmental hazard in an emergency and there's a long drop from the exit that the slide can't account for, people might push and people might die.
It might help with regard to exploding engines nacelles, but it might not help as much in other cases.
dood, they're a software company. their product is like microsoft excel.
people who buy the software actually need to input data into it.
if you're saying palantir sells data to the government, then basically any application that employs a database to store and distribute data is selling information to the government, including microsoft or any operating system or application for that matter.
Agreed, HP, IBM, Oracle has had identity management suites that do this for a while now. Analyst's Notebook was picked up by IBM and does nearly the same thing. The Army's bigger System DCGS also does this but on a greater scale aka TIA (Total Information Awareness) Was based on Analyst's Notebook and Lockheed's Information Sharing Environment solution. If you look at LE (Law Enforcement) use cases, they're totally dominated by Microsoft's Power BI (Business Intelligence) or Data Integration platforms similar to SoftwareAG. The only reason you don't hear anything about these guys is because they create a platform so large and pervasive that Journalists can't wrap their heads around how big data works.
Palantir is today's buzz word, and they're getting tons of free advertising from these muckrack[tm] journalists. It makes you wonder if the Journalists are being paid by sponsors to hype up these companies to make them into not just a big name in Data Analysis, but a household name. Next thing you know, Slack, Mattersmost, Discord, and Twitch are going to be dragged through the muck.
Either these journalists are under someone's dime, or they're really really misinformed.
Look at Discord, they just made $50 mill today:
* https://discordapp.com/privacy ** Developers: Developers using our SDK or API will have access to their end users’ information, including message content, message metadata, and voice metadata. Developers must use such information only to provide the SDK/API functionality within their applications and/or services.
I don't know. Can't really say whether a person should or should not have been aware. Some people are just really book smart but not very street smart. There're all kinds of people out there. If anything, their SJW friends should have told them and been more convincing prior to Cambridge Analytica ever being mentioned.
I can see how critics will claim that people do things fully knowing their implications. But in terms of intellectual honesty, nobody knows every little intricacy of every system, that's usually the job of the Chief Architect or Chief Technology Officer. CEO provides a broad vision, then the CTO provides the technical vision. I mean, look at Apple for example, not everyone knows exactly what they're working on since product development is so secret. Apple employees are given a specific task and expected to complete it.
At Facebook however, they're more of an identity provider, similar to Active Directory for SSO implementations, except they have capture a more holistic view of the user than other providers. So when the development teams are working on their API or adding features to Facebook to provide a more efficient way of connecting with external applications and providing features for their users and advertisers, they end up give away a lot of information that may not necessarily be in the best interests of the user when there are bad actors in play like Cambridge Analytica and Aleksandr Kogan who, despite the word of the policy, intentionally use the platform in an unintended way and against their Acceptable User Policy.
Many countries and local governments around the world implement speed limit policies, but people don't always follow them, and many people get away with it without incurring any negative impacts. I think what needs to happen is that there needs to be appropriate independent watchdogs and independent auditing implemented to safeguard the people that use it. This responsibility would land squarely on the shoulders of the FTC for Consumer protection.
The European Union, for example, has made a step in the right direction with GDPR, and similar legislation in the USA would help as well.
While we can *expect* Facebook to be good, in reality, we ourselves need to be cognizant of the data we put out there as well.
Ironically, the banking industry operates in a different way. They're quite happy to throw money at consultants/contractors to get jobs done as well as invest money in the best of breed technical solutions and controls to save the backend environment. Though likewise ironic, the front end that the consumers see are still easily compromised due to the complexities of enabling MFA and other security solutions. But to their credit, they were the first to employ anti-phishing features like login messages, personalized login images, etc. Unfortunately, that's only half of the equation and only a few banks and financial institutions have implemented MFA.
IT is incredibly complex which requires a world (or high level) view of the situation before solutions can be chosen. From that point, really technical implementers have to deploy solutions and subsequently administrators for day to day work of maintaining the systems and solutions themselves.
The blame falls squarely on management for hiring people who don't have the skill, strategic vision, and political capital wherewithal to carry out that vision.
The other thing too is that they're not getting paid until someone clicks on that amazon link and subsequently buys something. A lot of the times that's not happening. Unless these three researchers from Princeton were somehow able to get accurate sales data from these "affiliates", they're probably painting a pretty poor picture.
It's like searching through a c:\windows directory c:\user directories and finding that there are a million subfolders and 0 Byte files and saying that there is 90% more disk utilization than there really is.
Stupid researchers always missing the nuances of reality. After 20 years of reading Slashdot articles, I've seen the trend of disingenuous and self-serving articles increase at a high rate.
My question is what are these three researchers getting for this study? Are they getting paid by Advertisers so they can have lobbyists enact legislation to wring out more money from people? I really question the motives of a lot of these studies by fools.
I'm going to say there are a lot, but the 90% rating in Princeton's study is probably much higher than reality. I know a bunch of people who are struggling with their own funds from their primary mode of income (myself included) in attempting to seem legitimate. Trying different ways to drum up popularity in our own brand/identity, to seem legitimate, and to some day reap the benefits.
In my opinion, there are more people trying to fake it til they make it, since that's what a lot of leaders in the field have done.
People have been using PII data from Facebook for as long as Facebook has been around. I remember being in discussions with incubators folks trying to glean stock prediction data from whatever they could find on facebook. 13 years ago, people didn't really have a sense of censoring themselves on social media and Facebook's API made a great platform for extracting it.
Now Facebook has rules for blocking it, but I mean recently it was revealed that Trump's Campaign stole data too. So it's not exactly related to Google and FB tracking their employees, but the ultimate truth is, they're tracking everybody.
The only way to really go off the grid is to carry no devices with a bag over your head, paying for everything with cash, travel around in a mode of transportation which doesn't need to be registered, like a bicycle, your feet, or a boosted board and subsequently use snail mail or carrier pigeons to carry your missives.
It's like LAIN, there's no place on the planet that's away enough from "the wired".
Only through wifi or network connection. If you land at a convention hall like blackhat and have to do a presentation, you're basically given an hdmi or vga plug to put into your computer. That's not flexible when you need to show practicals and move around a bit.

They're throttling people who hit their 1tb data cap which they identify as "heavy internet users".
How is this functionally different from throttling people at a consistent basis depending on content they're transferring?
They're basically impeding user services, just in different ways, but still there's tangible impact.
