Either gets the point across.

I would like to see some data that outlines the potential
number of authors and the potential number of papers
as limited by page count.

It seems to me that this is a rigged game with rules
drawn from childhood agony playing musical chairs only
to the extreme.

With the modern internet page count is no longer the issue
but it is because that is how the game rules are written.

Qualified reviewers are few and far between as science,
literature, history and all of the academic world have carved
thing up into such fine narrow specialized fields that only
one researcher in the universe has any knowledge of the
topic.

Compound that by the rampant insertion of tenured staff names
in the author list of all papers coming out of institutions that
new science is all done by Mr Et Al.

The only process in the US that comes close to this foolishness is the process
in place for US patents where the contents of a whiteboard can be edited never
implemented and turned into a process patent. There is however overlap
where the whiteboard might be a class project or lecture note taken off line
and refactored into something apparently new but stolen outright.

Consider that if you are in a design meeting, and make a suggestion and
are not later credited as an inventor you are the victim of intellectual and
professional theft. Keep a notebook....

Not unheard of here on /. as well.

Multiple accounts on multiple virtual machines at multiple coffee shops
perhaps gatewayed via VPN thanks to co conspirators to present
a global view.

Watch how quickly someone, not I, mods this up and down...

No but a FitBit worn 7x24x356.25 smells a lot like
a lot of overtime to me.

If they want to monitor you 7x24 it seems like they
need to compensate you 7x24.

And more importantly the employee pool profile as
well as the FitBit data reflects on age and sex which
are "parameters" that enable discrimination against
groups based on sex and age.

Someone mentioned Stephen Hawking in jest but
again a FitBit program monitored by the company directly
or indirectly by rate changes is very much in violation
of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

It is one thing to give and encourage... it is another
to monitor, track and make financial decisions that
negatively affect any of these protected groups which is
clearly the intent.

Sad, sad, sad....

False military meta-data is classified secret or higher.
Its classification is a study in why meta data is interesting
and I suspect shows why it is both an invasion of privacy and a powerful tool.

The document that contains the COLLECTED set of meta data that
maps units, individuals, locations and postal delivery information is classified.

Anyone with family in the service knows that they can sent to
PFC Joe Soldier APO/FPO/DPO and it gets delivered.

See: https://www.usps.com/ship/apo-...
Also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
And see: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/direct...

The classified document is classified not because of the the individual line entry
it is "the collection of meta data entries" that gets stamped. Apparently some of
the locations of some of the units are classified a little or a lot. Layers of routing contain layers
of security management for each of the associated documents.

Unlike SMTP mail there are no progress stamps.... for good reasons.

The analysis of the security risks associated with these documents predates
modern large data analysis tools. And may need to be reconsidered in light
of modern statistical analysis. i.e. Local agencies that have the tools to collect
meta data could use that equipment under the guise of training to spy on family
of active duty service and pose a national security risk. This risk IMO is inherent
in both phone and other digital connection data.

To speculate further is foolish for me....

Lucky you... six months just wait till you are 50 or 60...
There absolutely is a bias.

Better to scrawl -- "non compete and other limitations on employment post separation or termination must be compensated."
i.e. If they enjoin you from working at a $500,000.00/year job they must compensate at that level.

Or scrawl "below signature is without the advice of legal counsel".

It is interesting that in a divorce it important to pay for legal advice for both sides.

Consider extensive automation of the loading and contrast with the extensive automation and risks of
automated trucking.

Scheduling driver pickup and routing is the nut none have cracked yet.

Historic building codes in OK are not seismic risk aware.
Only recently have the codes in the hot spot around New Madrid
been partly addressed. In Calif there is a major industry
retrofitting buildings. It is costly and it is being driven by
an industry that profits from it. It is a good thing to reinforce
buildings, it is less good when the invoice arrives.

The cost of seismic retrofit in the Midwest could bankrupt
many states... and for the same reason tornado shelters
are not part of all schools, offices, shopping malls and homes
are not going to happen over night.

First building codes for new construction need to
be considered. Trailer houses like many single
story wood frame houses have less risk from quakes
than they do from tornadoes.... I hope regulators do
not bankrupt the Midwest....

And the interesting part is that there are quakes and there are QUAKES.

Not just energy but location. The serious risk of quakes involves some darn
deep structures. Deeper than any well and with vastly greater risk to
life and property.

Hydraulic fracturing and pumping waste to include CO2 into deep wells
can be expected to generate measurable seismic events. Some might
be felt without instruments.

Recall the coal fire and collapse in Utah generated a 3.9 on the Richter scale.
http://www.seis.utah.edu/Repor...

This is a far cry from the New Madrid quakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1...
with magnitudes of 7.0 to 8.1.

The seismic risk of the central US is not well understood and is not well considered in
building and construction codes. Also no large quake is well considered in disaster
planning. Worse the impact of a large mid-west quake has much larger geographic
reach than a similar quake in Alaska or California.

Sadly the fracking fools will take this as a reason to stop fracking at any depth.
Most of the New Madrid seismicity is located between 3 and 15 miles (4.8 and 24.1 km) beneath the Earth's surface.
Most fracking in OK is shallow by comparison (1-2 miles).

Some believe that shallow releases of energy is a good thing and minimizes the
size and impact of deeper quakes. I am of the opinion that injecting fluids
does not increase the energy of natural quakes but might alter the
timing and energy dispersal profile. My opinion like most is not supported
by experimental facts and is just that opinion.

Hidden in the report is a disclosure of many seismic sensors and
plans to obtain funding for more. More science is good but the
social media and news outlet ignorance is being manipulated by
a plethora of interests one of which is network ratings where facts
are not an issue.

Taking down a project repository requires taking down
content from many sources with many copyrights.

For Qualcom to take down CyanogenMod and Sony Xperia
tells me that the take down could involve hundreds of OTHER Copyright holders
not Qualcom. I expect to see copyrights from Netscape, Texas Instruments,
Free Software Foundation, University of Illinois, Nokia, Intel, Red Hat, Carnegie Mellon
University, University of California Regents, Imagination Technologies, Samsung,
Apple, Torch Mobile and hundreds of individuals.

It is one thing to specify individual files but to reach out and assert ownership on
the Copyright of hundreds of others is theft on a grand scale. As a minimum it
is denial of service which is covered by modern internet law.

It is possible on an unlocked device to spoof this data by
collecting data from other phones in passing or from a
mesh of friends that pull data from their device and share
it with others.

i.e. should my WiFi device hear such a broadcast.
It could save parts of it, format those and insert the data
randomly into the list of devices my device appears to know about.

After anyone publishes enough to prove the possibility
then the information can no longer be used with impunity against
an individual because data stamps could be changed and
data inserted.... by a third party.

As we know from Snowden papers, TLAs do exploit flaws
and coerce vendors to insert and unlock side doors in devices .
Further all such activity is classified so any jury can
now be presented with reasonable doubt that the evidence
of this type on a phone or laptop has any validity.

Scan recent history for "surveillance equipment is known as a Stingray, an innovative way
for law enforcement to track cellphones used by suspects and gather evidence.
The equipment tricks cellphones into identifying some of their owners’ account information,..."
(theblaze.com)

I am reminded of a plugin to firefox that did much the same thing by randomly
making HTTP connections hither and yon triggered by a chain of "interesting" words.
The intent was to pollute the search history etc.... again to add uncertainty
that the individual was doing anything "of interest" to the prosecution.

On occasion I still fire it up from time to time not because I wish to hide anything I did but because
I wish to protect myself from those that would hide stuff on my system via tricks like
a 1x1 pixel display of a high resolution image download or mouse over abusive
use of JavaScript or modern HTML5 canvases and many many more abusive things.

Consider the actions if a cretan like Rush Limbaugh was to paddle
by...

How would the sensor decide if it was a cretan, a cetaceans or a chondrichthyes?
