With what mechanism? The law?

So, uh, I guess we should, uh, limit government access to tracking data because uh government is the only organization that can send people to jail and fine people.

Everyone on HN knows if the public is going to evaluate the ethics and metrics of tracking data we should investigate it at the source first with private telecom companies. They can somewhat freely sell all of that data to people who operate outside the law.

Does anyone here know if PR would be an ideal location for space launches? It is closer to the equator and surrounded by ocean. Would conditions caused by the mountains play a non trivial role in making spaceflight and launches cheaper?

Probably going to cash in and out with twitter once POTUS is no longer a frequent user.

Most state sponsored terrorism is profit-oriented

I would definitely love to try bread from a 4,500 year old yeast culture.

Wireless reading and intrusion of brainwaves

or worse make people drones

Brain mapping [1] + opsin gene delivery to brain using virus that crosses blood brain barrier [2] + advanced network tracking using phone ect to determine location of head [3] + ??sensitive networks to constantly scan a users head?? + ???networked lasers, em waves to alter thought or behavior in public??? = Telepathy and brain bullying

Imagine using media such as popular netflix shows, meme's, and other attention grabbing media to map someones brain passively and retain that data. Dope individuals with food, water, air that have virus. bam mind reading/bullying

Again the science (brain science, sensors, and em netowrks) probably need to be done to do this

We 10000000% need more monitoring of vectors like this. Viruses et all need to be constantly monitored for public safety. Sure we probably do it in wastewater but thats terribly imprecise and a stupid high LOD. Wonder if there are automated jigs that do this in waste water.

Alarm bells should be ringing about this. If they can breach the blood brain barrier with viruses, imagine what they can do with contaminated food, gas, and drink.

I'm surprised we havent tried to sell desktop computers with battery packs yet

Well fucking said but both times the stimulus was enacted we neglected large portions of the economy. If we do so again it wont be fixed and hello deep depression.

Yes and states have run out of funding. They literally cant pay people the services they promised them when taking taxes.

I agree its very difficult and in making decisions like this we will incidentally help pick winners and losers.

I dont think temporary relief will make or break a business model effected by the pandemic. On some of those edge cases we will need to decide whether the government will get their money back or accept losses.

We should be reciving our 3rd and onto our 4th right now.

Im suddenly having a vision of a corporate housing commune. Starting a hydroponics lab in the middle of office space /s

We haven't even seen the extent of the depression yet. Combined with congressional inaction on social spending a lot of people are going to be in very deep finanical issues. This is a systemic problem that we needed fixed 3 months ago.

Also the placebo effect is right on their heels in terms of effectiveness

I think there are two ways to manage these types of issues.

1. Bring it fully legal and have a large impact on how it is done in cooperation with government. It could be beneficial to allow government insight so that it can prepare the general public about what is going on or how society might reflect on it. In general I believe we should be aware of all of the things this data can do. If during full disclosure people want this data regulated so be it.

2. Criminalize it (hard mode). It looks like with GDPR it will be criminalized and it will rely on companies using good faith on acquiring data like this. It will be regularly impossible to defeat all criminal actions but there will be no question who has the athority on such measures.

With regards to both methods i see huge problems in the public understanding who is using and how the information is used. So it seems for now there is a few options left. One of which is to restrict knowledge and keep good people in power with the opportunity to use this data. Even with that we fail daily.

everything is a struggle but perhaps this issue might shape how humans interact with eachother in the future the most.

Again you're not going to catch everyone or even a large fraction of people who do it.

Sure but you could consider the cost to the actual individual in the price of depressed wages, deteriorated personal relationships ect. They wont get a penny of it unless outlined by law.

Make it 8 so you can knock it over and have it be infinity

Yes, good. Change your systems or get rid of it. Make it uninsurable and replace it with something of actual value.

again you're making the mistake that nobody would even try to break these laws as these are very hard to enforce.

they probably have loopholes the size of trucks where they could hire outside sources to do such things but hide their sources.

I think we need to make it at minimum 6 figures per person for adequate protection. Once information is out there is no taking it back. Banks, jobs will use all information against you. Electronic survalence is just another form of "Public HR"

sure someone could intentionally post shit online to fuck with these systems but the creators have no remorse for such "people" as they are "degenrate" to try to destroy such "high minded" systems.

Lets see if this survives the election (it probably should)

ah, I quite like 'YEET Cargo' as a name

Are they calling it 'Yeet Cargo' or do you like capitalizing many words?

Now the red hat buy makes sense

At last we see the end of the funnel. Both sides of an argument push 'progress' for a desired result.

>Well, they're unlikely to emerge within another's sphere, aren't they? Unless they're exceedingly civilised, civilisations behave like cuckoos to their neighbours.

How would you describe christianity in the roman empire? I might considerit a 'new civilization' once it was adpoted.

In the US, religion is in severe decline in any place near or in a city. Rural religious communities are hanging on by threads. I've seen church closings and communities that have adopted agnostic beliefs fairly qucikly in the last 4 years. Immigrants do bring a lot of religious people here but their children usually do not conform to those beliefs.

I wonder if we have a westworld file on us out there with all of our stats. It would be interesting to a degree what type of familial influence has on those stats (environment, socioeconomic circumstances ect).
