OTOH, I assure you the people enforcing the laws already have many, many electronic surveillance tools already at their disposal.

Do those with access to sensitive information routinely abuse that privilege? I would say the evidence is pointing in that direction.

I'll bet you don't get carded much these days either.

Mack and John were eating lunch at the truck stop when a man John didn't know strolled by the table and said to Mack, "Hey Cocksucker."

"What's that about, bud?" John asked his friend.

"I've been a truck driver for thirty years and no one ever referred to me as Mack the trucker. But you suck ONE dick!"

well,

it's time to take a good look at ourselves.

just saying.

Facial recognition programs on 300 and umpteen million folks(Your Metrics May Vary), to rightfully monitor 10,000 with legitimate probable cause? I'd rather be free than that safe.

Loosely translated:

Government jobs in Korea are similar to the ones in the West... they're no place for the gifted.

Much of it is likely subconsciously derived from thousands of prior interactions with our fellow organic computers.

I think the complexity of social interaction is imitatible by AI in theory, but we're talking a few tech advances away from Wolf! Right here and now!

Articles such as this will henceforth only be of interest to me if they include examples where my data is not collected.

Whirrr...click. Adjustment Bureau confirms your new filter parameters.

It's irresistibly obligatory.

In Anarctica, earthquakes fracture you.

The researchers further posit that since the injected substance is metal, it is an ideal conductor for use as a method of delivery for electrical current to heat up and destroy the unwanted tissue.

Are these plausibly benefits not afforded by existing techniques? I know we get a cancer cure story every fortnight or so, but I, for one, welcome the continued research even if it rarely pans out.

There is no present, perfect way to deliver the electricity those of us on the grid have come to appreciate. When you're talking about the mainstays of the grid's backbone (coal, crude, gas, hydroelectric, nuclear), none are generated without environmental consequence.

Continue to develop the renewables, but for fuck's sake, don't take nuclear off the table based on the performance of aging plants.

Though since this is Slashdot, there's virtually zero chance this is the first (or the last) instance of a disgruntled nerd with some coding skill.

Can't you just picture the editors, worked up into a frenzy this Monday morning, feverishly pursuing a solution?

That word.

You keep using it.

I don't think it means what you think it does.

It goes to scale.

The one that measures influence.
