  2. The AI will be a "I" when it stops doing what its told and tells the humans what it will be doing.
    Until then its just all just really fast super computers keeping the AI winter away.

  3. AC Past federal rules did not allow for much freedom for community broadband and new innovative ISP services.
    More new political NN laws to replace past NN rules could result in the same monopoly networks getting more protection from any new competition under new federal laws.

  4. Anyone could put up an early alarm network in the USA AC.
    A city was filled with different networks going from a central location to new users of an alarm system.
    Early community networking driven by competition, price and skill.

    Now federal rules protect one networks wireline and keeps out all community and ISP innovation.
    Will new federal laws now further protect one existing large network?
    The power of federal laws to say who is NN enough to be a new network and how much has to be done to stay a NN law approved network?

  5. A law that demands NN?

    A monopoly telco will just say only its in place paper insulated wireline is federally approved to be that NN network.
    No new networks are needed as NN is gov regulated.
    No community broadband can pay for a full new gov inspection to see if it meets gov NN laws.
    No innovative ISP in some areas as all locations need to get an equal share of any new NN network.
    More NN laws can be great for keeping out all new competition.

    Wonder how much a radar specialist would have seen and got access to during ww2 and just after ww2?
    1984 had telescreens.
    A lot was well understood at that time as far as national networks, TV and needed image quality.
    WW2 Germany had an early cable communication network.
    With an early "video" phone that connected a post office to a post office.
    A huge camera was used but the ability and network was in place.

  9. The Soviet Union gave a lot of early nuclear tech to China and then understood Communism in China and stopped sharing.
    The West never learned what Communism in China was all about and kept on giving very advanced tech to China.
    A lower cost turn key design from France?
    A rector project made in China?

  12. Russia has a few ideas as to computer security and the need for consumer networks.
    If its really important to the Russian gov/mil its never done on any network. Networks are the play thing of the NSA and GCHQ.
    The Soviet Union and now Russia understand that after decades of NSA and GCHQ total collection on every Soviet and Russia network.
    Russian consumer and small businesses need "computers" and global supply networks.
    Hotels and banks needs globally networks.
    ISP accounts need global networks so Russians can publish and play fun games and read educational material.

    Russia keeps its mil/gov secrets well away from any "internet".
    But the internet that is allowed in Russia is fully tracked and logged like the UK internet under what was the GCHQ Tempora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    A person in Russia can use the internet for software, study, games, business, CCTV, smart phone, but the Russian gov has the keys to all such connected and online activity from the ISP.
    Russian law enforcement has the real time keys to all consumer internet use like in any other advanced nation.
    A bit like discovering the Russian version of a police and city like Domain Awareness System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... but for networks and internet.
    Why are " credentials" the same in Russia?
    So every part of Rusian law enforcement have the same quality and instant real time access to Russian consumer networks.
    Helps track people talking to CIA, MI6 embassy workers with smart phone left on without needing to fax in paperwork for court to approve smart phone mic is turned on.
    To turn all smart phone networks off in a very rapid way in any Russia city when police need such precautions.
    To log and play back all smart phone movements over days, weeks, months, years in any part of Russia.
    To see such network talked about in the West is strange.
    If it was a spying coup in use by NSA/GCHQ to watch over all aspects of Russian police network use, why talk about it?

    Is Russia setting up a nation honeytrap to see what the West looks for and how it looks into open Russian networks?
    A bit like the FBI leaving different US gov and mil networks wide open and in plain text just to see what project names are of interest to people entering such "secure" networks?
    The bait has to be real but the study is in the methods used, search teems in such a network, know methods and project, and code litter left.
    The interest is in how another nations searches and knows to search a network for. Why they look for something and what they don't know to look for.
    Only look for a list of project names? Have the confidence to download everything knowing they would collect it all?
    A direct "guided" path into a network expected to be "secret"? Spend time having to understand the network in parts as the network was unknown?
    What is then published that year.
    What stays a secret for 70 years and is never given to any approved historian many decades later.

    AC if the Dutch method worked as told to the waiting media and press no clearance form the NSA, GCHQ would hav been given to talk about it ever.
    In 70 years some approved historian would have been allowed to publish that NATO cyber effort worked well in Russian around 2017.
    Reading about any working and in use NSA, GCHQ. NATO project in real time would need full declassification.
    No nation would allow such efforts to be talked about.
    The NSA, NATO, GCHQ, CIA, MI6 would want any such network left wide open and Russia using it with full confidence for years.

  19. AC the trick is not to use a smartphone in any interesting way.
    To LOL at the big brands to offer "security and "crypto" after the PRISM news.
    Nation are getting the crypto keys as that is the telco law in each nation.

  20. Re "So if other governments ask for it, it's OK?"

    Projects like PRISM, BULLRUN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... gave the US gov everything it needed on different networks.
    The NSA and GCHQ would have never allowed any consumer phone/smart phone to be approved that did not give them tracking, voice prints, real time decryption.
    The GCHQ would have never allowed any advanced secure consumer tech for use in Ireland.

    So every consumer product in the free West is wide open.
    Russia just wants the same keys for a consumer product to be network connectable.
    Want to sell a smart phone in Russia? Its the same standard of network law.

    Sell in other nations?
    Security services want the same tracking, decryption, voice prints, GPS, GUI movement maps, power on, live mic.
    Like Canada, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland.

  21. Want to enter another nation with a smart phone brand?
    Its another nations laws and telco network that will have to be connected to.
    Don't hand over the keys and they can say its not going to be possible to approve that brand of smart phone.
    Once the security services are happy they have plain text, files, voice prints, real time tracking, mic on/off, soft power GUI on, then the smart phone is legal.
    Great for tracking anyone who was near all the MI6/CIA "embassy" workers.

    Re "Now what authority does the US or any country have to interogte those accounts?"... "US govt doesn't have a lot of leverage"
    Look at the way the USA deals with Swiss and North Korean attempts at providing quality banking services globally.
    In the end they all conform to what the USA gov wants.
    The US gov gets the full list of all US citizens who use/used any and all banking services/products in Switzerland.

  22. In the Eastern US states they still get to put together a traditional robot.
    In CA its all about the GUI robot software when learning to code.

  23. Canada did not have all the 5 eye VPN keys? on Canada's Telco Bell Tried To Have VPNs Banned During NAFTA Negotiations (techdirt.com) · · Score: 1

    Wont someone think of the security services and the fun they had in Canada with the BULLRUN /Edgehill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... like US/UK support.
    Why would the gov of Canada approve a VPN ban when they get the VPN keys under full 5 eye https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... sharing?

    A ban on VPN use in Canada would make VPN decryption difficult in Canada as few interesting people would not want to risk detection using a banned VPN service.

    Keep VPN services and Canada can collect on everyone as a VPN is just another trusted and secure service.
    The security services in a 5 eye nation love a VPN.
    The user feels safe and their real need for a VPN quickly shows.
    A consumer VPN service a 5 eye nation that can be fully decrypted in real time is better than a Canadian person of interest sending "messages" via their faith/cult/criminal network in person.

    Keep all VPN services and keep VPN plain text decryption flowing back in real time to the Canadian security services.

  24. Your monopoly keeps your network on New Net Neutrality Bill Headed To Congress (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Your telco monopoly likes your spending. Your monopoly telco can keep your network.

    The federal rules get changed back so every federally NN approved telco monopoly can keep their consumers.

    Welcome back to paper insulated wireline and its a permanently regulated NN network.
    No community broadband will be connected as they are not a federal NN approved telco.
    Want to build an network as an ISP? Thats the part when rules that are now permanently in place allow a monopoly telco to request a review of NN rules.
    Can a competitive and innovative new IPS wait years and pay to prove legally to the federal gov its fully NN ready?
    Cant prove an ISP, community broadband project is fully NN ready? No federal approval for that network to be part of the "internet".
    That slows any community broadband and ISP network approval down thanks to NN federal rules that will be in place permanently.
    NN is the way a monopoly telco gets full federal gov protection from any new internet projects.
    Permanently securing a federal NN veto over all new telco projects.

  25. Re AC and "in this regard?"
    A domestic version of PRISM for any government that asked.
    It is a legal request by a nation gov to get approval to be a connected part of the nations telco network.
    Every nations sets up their own version of a "Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" with FISA for all its citizens just like the USA did.
    ie telco laws authorized by a gov. Any gov can do the statutorily authorized collection on anything it wants.
    Lawful and conducted under authorities granted.
    The obligation is keeping citizens in a "nation" safe. (add any nations name as needed and the big brand hands over the all the crpyo keys ;)
    Any nation can create its own legally binding order or subpoena.
    Its only under applicable laws, and to provide information when required by law in that nation.
    The gov got a court order to see the customer data.
