I can't decide whether this is a clever satire, a serious proposal, or a pitch for an episode of Black Mirror.

  This proposal is a really good example of why people have so much disdain for valley culture..

  It is Minority Report minus the precogs, so I vote for options one and three.

    > Minority Report minus the precogs Unfortunately, there is a huge push right now to create exactly this kind of "pre-crime" nonsense. Don't ignore the "serious proposal" possibility, because other people are treating it seriously. A lot of it is snake oil and wishful thinking, but that never stopped a bad idea from being adopted. https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7457-predicting_crime_in_a_big_data_world https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7457-predicting_crime_in_a_big_d...
