Solid document; thanks for sharing. I'm curious which state's laws apply? That is, how is jurisdiction determined for a computer network event that might start from a laptop in one state, be routed via the Internet through another

Exactly. And let's not forget that the "training" is actually new scholarship, not just learning an existing skill, so even if the PhD doesn't do anything after earning their degree, human knowledge has expanded ever so

To confirm that your software works, you test it on a computer for $1. If you're wrong, you've wasted a few minutes of dev time and electricity. A programmer can often point out problems before you run the code. To see if you&#x27

If you don't have anything to hide, would you publish your email/text/social media activity, browser history, bank statements, health records, and location history? Wanting privacy is not criminal, but spying on people often

It's not mind-boggling; we've just forgotten what it's like to buy and carry physical maps (or give/remember directions, or a stand-alone GPS device), have a physical address/contact book, use a tape recorder, etc.

The relative motion drops to zero though, at the moment of capture. So it's more like two cars on the highway that pull alongside each other just as they match speed. Might still be too precise for a human, but automated systems should

You have it backwards: the entire population is punishing the org for failing to protect them. And yes, that hurts the population a little bit, just as imprisoning individuals hurts civic society and the economy. To mangle a great line: we

He should, and has offered to do so, but so far the US government has refused him a fair trial. I have faith that the US can behave ethically AND stand strong against foreign powers. Moral authority can be a valuable form of soft power.

The org must be accountable for its actions (or inactions). It's the org's responsibility to make sure its agents don't mess up when acting under its authority. Hire employees who are trustworthy and competent, fire those who

I'm not saying to punish a group of individuals individually, but to disband the group itself for a time. If individuals also broke the law, then of course they should be punished accordingly.

Our society hasn't figured out how to punish organizations, whether businesses, NGOs, religious groups, or government agencies. Past a certain level, fines don't cut it—you need existential threats. We need "prison" more

He knowingly and clearly broke laws by stealing and disclosing classified information. I think he was ethically correct to do so, and his act qualified as civil disobedience, but that's why the US government is after him.

Let's algorithmically predict which police officers are most likely to commit misconduct, and then follow them to catch them in the act if and when they do. Seems only fair…

So you would be okay with police driving behind you for years, waiting for you to make a mistake? Uneven application of even a just law is still unjust, and also undermines trust in the justice system.

It is possible. A census counts people. It might need to know who's a citizen or who's eligible to vote, or maybe even generation or sex. It doesn't need to know name, address, eye color, medical history, fingerprint, etc. Th
