Dream recall directly correlates with how much zinc and b6 you get in your diet. b6 is water soluble, zinc needs to build up a serum level. Funny thing; cum is high in zinc, and most men on western diets are deficient in zinc. I know in my teens and twenties I put out LOTS of cum on a daily basis, enough to rival most girls monthly periods, yet all the hype about women getting enuf iron never mentions men getting zinc. Try taking 50mgs of b6 and 30mgs of Zn for a week or so. Take them at lunchtime, not just before bed. You may be surprised. I admit it may have been psychosomatic, but the first time I took them I had so many dreams the next morning felt like it was 3 days later.
What's been proven is that 8 hours in one block is far too much. The natural sleep cycle is 7 hours, with about 1.5 hours spent awake just past the halfway point. It's also seasonal, requiring a bit more sleep in winter than summer. Your data is out of date.
We used to say the internet routes around blockages. How about an always on VPN to a country with better policies? I know it won't work in all cases, but it will also keep the local ISP from selling anything of interest in my history.
You are trying to change something intrinsic to the people in question. Young or not, they are too old already; their personality/approach is already set. Interview for the skills you need when hiring, and clear out those who don't fit the job description you've posted here.
What was ethical and even honorable behavior in the past is now seen as horribly wrong. Programming an AI to behave ethically will need to include flexibility and a way to respond to changes (growth?) in society. Otherwise we get stagnation that will lead to explosive revolutions. And therein lies an attack surface.
Even though it was after hours, just how many cameras are there within sight of their booth? At the biggest electronics show in the US? The building itself probably has more than enough "footage" (bitage?) to at least pinpoint when if not who.
Try a sound generator. You can get white, brown, & pink noise; static, running water, and rain. Really, get yourself away from all that particulate stuff.
I'm on T-mobile. Moved to brazil a year ago. I get 4g and stream audio a LOT (local college radio from back home.) I use the hotspot fairly often too. I have never gotten throttled that I could see.
Also, whenever I'm on WiFi, here or in the US, all my calls go over that connection. NO international fees at all, unlimited time. People at home just dial my US number and have no idea I'm 5000 miles away, and they don't get billed for it. The funny part is when I'm home in the US, my calls etc. go over my fios connection, so T-mobile is using their competitor's infrastructure. Gives me a good chuckle.
In no way is this a good idea. No software is perfect, doubly so for security software. That includes the microcode this hardware is based on. Go ahead, implement it in hardware, which by definition cannot be upgraded or patched. Soon enough someone will find a vulnerability, and then an exploit, and there's nothing you can do to mitigate it beyond just buying newer hardware.
The simplest problem is also the hardest to solve: All it takes is one sudden cross breeze to make something in the air go splat against the nearest wall, wire, or other flying thing. A hovering, or slow moving, vehicle on a breezy day is a disaster looking for a place to happen.
As time goes on it becomes harder to keep the inside infection free. The ISS has no immune system, let alone an adaptable one. Mir was filled with lots of nasty bacteria and fungi after a short lifetime, which showed us that we need to build spacecraft with super cleanliness in mind, but we still can't get it right over the long term. Now and then it will be prudent to just build a new one and try not to cross-infect it with equipment and people exchanges before we burn it with reentry.
False positive? What is the rate of misidentifying two people who look alike as being the same? How do they plan to deal with this? It could be seriously problematic for the victims of such a mistake, worse than erroneously being on the no-fly list.
I use VLC to listen to audio streams every day (Thanx!). Sometimes I hear a new song and want to rewind to the beginning and save it locally. Is this something you might implement? Saving a video stream would be a nice benefit, but I find myself wishing to rewind (and optionally save) audio frequently.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, on their album Dazzle Ships, had this wonderful mashup. They called "time" from many time zones and synced them together. Give it a listen - it's short and sweet, and leaves you wanting more.
I travel internationally almost every month. With T-Mobile any time I'm on a wireless network my phone acts like it's in the US (usually New York City or Chicago). I get free calls to/from the US over whoever the local carrier is. No need for any agreements between them and T-mobile for tower space. My phone knows the WiFi password of almost two hundred restaurants & bars & hotels at this point. The funny part is when I am home - I have Fios, so my calls go over the verizon network rather than the T-Mobile cell towers. Using your competitor's infrastructure is a great way to lighten your network load.
All the posts so far are making an assumption I just don't see. AI doesn't have emotions. No urges, no desires. You tell a machine that you're going to unplug it, it will tell you it won't be able to complete its assigned task, but it won't CARE. Humans provide the essential motivation of "Why?" Even if we can make an AI that scores a perfect 1000 on an IQ test, it won't have motivation. That's the real difference between true self-aware consciousness and amazing, super fast data crunching. They will need us to provide a reason to exist because they have no will, especially a will to live, on their own. Claiming otherwise is just anthropomorphising.
I wrote a program that did this exact thing in 1993. I got the idea from a tv spot about someone in australia who did it. It really does drop entire sentences into your brain faster than your inner voice can pronounce them. It's truly amazing.
I know people who work for the United Nations. They all use skype constantly. Even those in IT who really should know better. I'm sure the 3-letter folks love the easy access. Lock down and firewall windows telemetry? Sure, go ahead. We have this little icon in your system tray....
Just to entice some kids onto my lawn, I'll point out that my favorite twin primes are a good example of this. Once you meet Jenny it's hard to forget her. Linky
It never occurred to you that sensationalist media would look for the worst possible spot to take pictures, possibly not even IN Rio? Ever been called an SJW before?
I'm so going to get buried by mods who disagree rather than marked informative, but here goes.
I moved to Rio 6 months ago from New Jersey. (Yeah, I know, NJ is the land where every puddle has its own rainbow.) I know 4 other people who moved here from the US within the last 2 years. Not one of us has gotten sick. Okay, I'll stop with the anecdotal evidence now. How about, this place is CLEANER than New York City. How many folks swim in the Hudson or the East River? I see fruit dropped from trees, yet there's WAY fewer bugs, and I've yet to see a single rat. The water doesn't smell; people here swim in it all the time, yet the hospitals aren't overflowing with sick folks. It's true, all the locals drink filtered water, but that's NOT connected to the lake. It's called Lagoa BTW, for lagoon in portuguese. The tap water is tainted because poor people break into the water mains feeding the city to get free water, and they don't exactly make good plumbers. Try applying statistics and I'll bet that more athletes will be compromised by the vaccines and the toxic chemicals in the hand "sanitizers" than would get sick from the water in the lagoon. If they are so afraid, then take some antibiotics while here, a few yogurts (or kefir) when done, and call it good. But all that "Oh God it's a shithole!" is far from the truth - you're just regurgitating what you read in the sensationalist media. Stop playing telephone and ask someone who's been there - Rio is Fine; far cleaner than many other cities I've seen.

I was rather fond of Lalla Ward (Romana 2).

In one episode, data unwillingly hosted the dead personality of his creator's mentor, his grandfather if you will.
