We need something like a new bill of rights for the electronic age

- Ensure Fourth Amendment protections apply to all digital communications

- Restrict electronic public surveillance and retention of data by the government obtained by electronic means in public.

- Restrict government access to public electronic surveillance data created by private entities based on Fourth Amendment limits: by warrant only

If the Founders could have anticipated the way we communicate today they would certainly have included electronic data in "papers and effects."

And they also could not have anticipated the ease with which government can now collect data electronically and through public surveillance on millions and millions of people, cost-effectively. While there can be no expectation of privacy in a public space, there is something fundamentally different about your activities in public being recorded, and stored for an indefinite period, without any suspicion of wrongdoing. That should be addressed in law.

Ooo they passed a law making it "illegal", that will stop the international scammers. Just like the war on drugs. Pai knows this stops nothing. Fuck that piece of shit, even when it looks like he's doing good he's actually doing nothing.

Well said and if you are wondering the top three Japanese automobile brands have plants in the United States Indiana and Kentucky Toyota automobiles Columbus Ohio area Honda and Smyrna Tennessee Nissan. Also Indiana is home to a Subaru plant which makes the Subaru Impreza for sales here in the United States and exports them to Western Europe via a rail shipment from Indiana to Port Newark Port Elizabeth, NJ. Kei Cars if Euro NCAP tested 4 stars just look at Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

Isn't most of the work done already with LLVM intermediate representation? Stick to POSIX (and Qt if necessary) in the code, distribute the IR with a compiler which compiles and installs it, and job done.

What does this article have to do with racism and not the failing of the recognition system? It is supposed to be a facial recognition system, it doesn’t work on specific people at a large percentage.. It’s brought to the attention of the manufacturers and should be worked on being fixed.

how about feeding a white noise signal into a microcontroller and have it sample the random voltages and convert it into a string of numbers.

In companies people must share support emails to improve their product, that's real.
