Maybe these days, but way back when, many of those freshman classes were to weed people out. I took one easy English class. The others were calc, physics, chem, CS. Many had high drop/flunk rates. I would agree it was a year of challenges for me. And it should be. I knew several who did not see 2nd semester.

As long as we keep fighting over each individual opportunity for surveillance instead of public surveillance itself,

Germany, similar to a lot of countries, seems to have general privacy laws that deal with photographing and publishing identifiable people.

In fact, that's in the first sentence of the summary.

Yep, the IRS upgrades and ATC ones allocated money always seems to get redirected. I just saw trump redirected almost a bil for WH renovations. Congress didn't fund it so the king opted to move other monies for some gold plating. https://www.yahoo.com/news/pol... Its almost like he thinks he is staying.

I think the ugly reality is the AV's fitted with a myriad of cameras is the real worry. Those AV's are roving surveillance equipment. I don't think anyone could believe if Flock or some other org offered to pay even a buck a day for access to those camera feeds, the AV suppliers wouldn't nod yes immediately. There is no going back from the current availability of cheap cameras, cheap storage and cheap compute. The framers couldn't have envisioned this. Even I as a older techie still find the magnitude of the storage capabilities available today as a bit surreal. RAM sizes that dwarf persistent storage of just 2 decades ago.

I think this is the way. Give the CEO 24 hour "police security" which records every legal infraction he commits from spitting on the sidewalk to making any and I mean any traffic violation. Did he "California roll" a stop sign? is he impeding traffic in the left lane?, ... After awhile I expect the flock leader will get the idea that 24x7 surveillance is not a good thing after a few thousand citations in a week.
