>> "If warrantless surveillance becomes technologically impossible, then we are going to have to pay a lot more salaries to have all our laws enforced."

Completely agree, cost would rapidly get out of control without warrantless surveillance and criminal activities would surge. In fact, why even use tech like this when everyone by law should just wear a device to broadcast their location, all their communications, etc. All the data collected should be admissible in court too.

Needs (1998) added to the end of the title.

No, artist will commonly price a collection this way to show there's a market and get buyers to act sooner that later. It's assumed that not all of the logos will sell, and some if not all may have been versions of another logo.

Google AdWords seems to work the same way too.

>> "hacking is a social problem"

There a lot of social problems in the world, but hacking in the true sense is more like a social cure than problem.

Unlikely answer, but have you thought about asking Google to up the free requests for your account to 120k?

If they did grant you it, highly suggest opening a waiting list or new users, rate limiting current users, and switching to OSM.

Maybe it's me, but I'd assume the many-to-many is more complex that one-to-many, especially when laid on top of systems designed for one-to-many.

Issue isn't tech, it's that the average person doesn't see any value in what P2P offers.

Anyone that doesn't believe luck played a huge role in Buffet's success is a fool, even Buffet says so.

If only the NSA was that clever.

No reason not to contact them, but yes, they actively recruit too.

Putting aside most journalists are not spy material, investigative journalist are basically spies - they're actively watched and recruited too.

During WW2, 22 journalists in America were spying for the Soviets; by profession, this was second only to engineers.

Today, given the heavy surveillance of investigative journalist, they basically have to use the same trade craft that a spy would use to maintain operational security.

Having run across seducers of secrets in really life, they were always up front about what they were after, and find it hard to believe those who fell into Betty's trap didn't know what they were doing.

As such, a deep respect for her, since there's only so many times you play with fire before you get burned.

Key lesson is that if you're the Russians, train squirrels to attack the power grid, deploy them, and then deny, deny, deny.

Yes, that's correct, though it doesn't mean NY and NYC don't outsource/insource service at rates that're unreasonably by any measure either due to cost or failure to provide reasonable service.

For examples, funding for pensions assumes that the state will maintain a set population of prisoners - which to me seems at odds of what longer objectives should be.

Security reasons. If you boot in a hostile environment you don't have to worry about anything attacking you, hiding in free space, etc.

Of course, this assumes the firmware is secured too; aka Bad USB.

An OS read from a CD player that's read-only won't have this issue; that said, even if the CD is burned and all the free space too, it's likely you could introduce an exploit onto the CD by editing the encoding already on the CD by putting it in a CD player that's able to read & write to it and override the read-only flag on the CD.

Citing authoritative sources is easily the easiest way to be seen as an expert. Next is having them cite you as an expert source, which is not as hard as it might seem.

One reason is that it's surprisingly hard to find a cheap flash drives that use hardware enforced read-only access.

(My point is that just like for cars, there should be sensors for walkers, not buttons.)

Pretty obvious that prisons exploit prisoners in unjustified ways to the benefit of private enterprises, fail to protect prisoners they are responsible for watching, etc.

Yes, "in the loop" does date back further, but as used to reference human/systems integration earliest reference I was able to find was the 80s which was the same time that Boydian like systems started popping up.

Or, strange concept, the employees benefit from their efforts to improve the company, and idea of working during lunch on a trival task makes sense if they don't have anything else worth doing.

Right of way is a deadly concept unless the driver knows of the concept, enforcement is actually done, and breaking this rule, at the very least, results in the driver losing their right to drive.

Vechicals don't need to push a button to cross an intersection, why do walkers need to push a button to cross an intersection?

Why Python? Why not just focus on finding the best open source data annotation framework?

(Love Python, but normally don't bias my selection of a solution by the language it's written in.)

"In the loop" is a reference to the OODA loop, which is the decision cycle of observe, orient, decide, and act, developed by military strategist and United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd. "In the loop" has a specific tactical meaning, which is that you're able to do a full OODA loop cycle faster than a comparable AI/man system which gives a strategic advantage and maybe used against oppositional forces in a variety of ways; most interesting is applying it to PsychOps.

"Man in the loop" reference can be found in use by the US AirForce going back to the 80s for weapon systems design; specifically between fighter jet systems and pilots. I've heard that US AirForce used brain implants as early as the 90s in fighter pilots.

Here's an example of the US Army reads soldier's brain waves to speed up image analysis:

Happy to address the question, but it's not clear to me exactly what the question is.

In the example I provided the lower court and court above it shared jurisdiction over the case by law. Generally, upper courts for case load reasons will not hear a case that's not an appeal. In this case, the higher court considered hearing the case based on the arguments of the other party, but I won based on my arguments that as a result of the contract between the parties the lower court was explicitly the only court that had jurisdiction over the matter.

For what it's worth, I'm not an attorney, just skilled at legal matters and litigation; as an example, once had a judge issue an order by phone for me and have their clerk draft the order too - ask any attorney if they've ever done that... :-)

It'll be interesting to see once "true" voice emulators become main stream how it's exploited for good and evil.

Reminds me of "virtual" kidnapping scams where an attacker knows the victims phone will be unreachable and the attacker calls a relative demanding they wire funds or the victim will be killed. Attacker plays back a voice sample they've captured from the victim that makes it sound like they're in trouble an need help; basically the attacker calls the victim and say something like "May I help you?" repeatively until the victim responds with something like "No, I don't need your help!" an panicked voice - which is then edited to say "Help! I need your help! Help!"
