I'm assuming it would take periodic or random pictures or frame sets, and sift for those showing the "most" via either cheap 3rd world labor or AI. If the hacker(s) doesn't do that now, it will probably evolve that way within this crime group or a new group inspired by this one.
To reduce (suspicious) bandwidth, an on-phone algorithm may use simpler AI or criteria to find candidate pics or sequences, and forward only those that look promising back to base to be further scrutinized. That way the phone is not sending every picture. Let's say a million phones are infected. Out of those, they may get only a few thousand home runs, and target those victims, which is good enough for them.
Why would I care if they had my picture, what exactly does that prove or how does it harm me?
Maybe you are younger or in better shape. I'm sure my coworkers and relatives would have a hardy laugh at my expense if my cam caught me at the wrong time. Let's just say some things are too big and other things are too small.
...as a sysadmin...[I] find this crap installed...I keep a folder of mugshots as a trophy for removing this garbage app.
Isn't that risky? A mistake or hackers might uncover the pile. It's probably safer to delete them ASAP. And I assume by "mugshot" you mean more than just a face.
Perhaps it's time to have hardware covers on phone cams and perhaps a red "open" light and notice beep. Whether they are manual or auto-open is an issue to consider.
What about a kind of genetic algorithm to evolve candidate 3D models, and the model that best matches observations and context "wins". However, that is computationally intensive. But, it is highly parallelizable.
It could be if somebody standardized things, but there is no incentive for car co's to do that. They use the Intel model instead of the ARM model. Plus, standardization often has a hard time keeping up with fads. Humans love fads.
In my opinion, what makes Trek great is the characters and how they interact to make difficult decisions. Trek politics on a bigger scale is waffly and inconsistent such that it should be viewed as supporting a story rather than being the story. The fact that Picard likes hippies more than Kirk is fine by me. They are different people.
It is true there is very little political benefit to existing politicians to save it away. They are graded on the here and now. I would agree to something like the balanced-budget-amendment if it were stricter during the good times and looser during bad times, rather than always even.
They should've put most of it in a state rainy day fund for the next big recession. Shit happens.
If Bush had done that with the "surplus refund" of the early 2000's, the Great Recession may have merely been yet another ordinary recession.
That's actually how John M. Keynes envisioned it, not so much deficit spending. It's basically saving up during the good times so you have spending money in the bad times.
It's a shortcut for "designated as classified". And there are plenty of grey areas. Categorization of human activity and objects via language almost always is an inexact science. English is not math. It's why we have judges and juries.
Further, the issue of who is responsible if something is misclassified (put into the wrong category) is also at play, which itself may be messy or based on interpretation.
Okay, there are some clear-cut areas, but there are also nebulous areas. There's no evidence so far that H received or forwarded marked messages. So the issue of what happens if she received unmarked classified messages or portions may be at play.
1. Link? 2. It would have reduced total number either way. That's splitting hairs 3. Alarms are a different issue. The SS has neither confirmed nor denied monitoring. They probably can't talk about it. 4. Link? Note that a subpoena for work-related emails and a subpoena for the server are two different things. 5. Has yet to be proven. Much of it was classified AFTER the fact. 6. The info Blumenthal sent was already public. It was not secret. 7. Link?
She didn't think classified stuff would be flowing through that server? Uh huh.
Review #2. It's NOT a home versus office server issue. If she had put classified info on the "regular" office server, it would STILL be the INcorrect action.
But when her email was subpoenaed it would have been turned over in a timely manner
I'm not sure what your point is here. (Actually, the office server died. It would have been gone.)
This is how we know that when she cherry picked her messages to turn over, she left quite a few out.
I have seen NO evidence she left out work-related messages in the stuff she handed over. If you have some, please show it.
The only reason I would ever vote for Hillary is if Jeb were her opponent.
Here are some key facts that many people get wrong. If you have evidence they are incorrect, feel free to provide alternative evidence.
1. She claimed she did not knowingly send or receive classified info through her server. It's quite possible somebody ELSE sent her classified info when they should not have, and didn't label it properly. Whose "fault" that is, well, we will wait and see.
2. The "office" server she should have been using was NOT designed for classified material either. (There was a separate system(s) for that.) Thus, her home server being more of a secrecy risk than the regular office server is a questionable claim.
3. Messages that were deemed to have classified info were either mostly or entirely re-classified after the fact. The scope of this is still under investigation.
4. Using a home server was NOT illegal at the time, as long as a copy of each work message came from/to a gov't server, which would typically be the case. (So far they have not found a non-copied work message that I know of.)
5. She has admitted twice that her "home server" decision was a poor decision.
6. Jeb also has "email problems" such that if the two face off in the final election, the email issue is mostly a wash.

Get off my plasma!
A formula based on changes in GDP and employment rates could probably make an agreeable "valve" for stimulus spending.
It could be if somebody standardized things, but there is no incentive for car co's to do that. They use the Intel model instead of the ARM model. Plus, standardization often has a hard time keeping up with fads. Humans love fads.
They meant "pears". The devs need exercise.

The break fiasco showed their cars already have a mind of their own.

I hear being gored by a bull cures hiccups.

From what I've read, experts say the rules are nebulous and nuanced. This probably means the person with the best lawyers probably "wins".

It's tweedle-dee versus tweedle-dum.
At least it's ONE button, and not two.

We should thank them for saving our bandwidth costs by including them up front. Some of that malware is large, and you know you'd get infected anyhow.
