If I saw one that had an lcd screen and a computer system I wouldn't plug it in, if it was just a power transformer plugged into a socket with different connectors, that's a different story. _________________  Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:53 pm   Message   Kovacs Disposable Assassin Joined: 19 Sep 2006 Posts: 1458 Location: Ottawa, Canada So PreCrime's almost a thing now: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/16/us/16police.html?_r=4 Quote: the Chicago Police Department, for example, created a predictive analytics unit last year. But Santa Cruz’s method is more sophisticated than most. Based on models for predicting aftershocks from earthquakes, it generates projections about which areas and windows of time are at highest risk for future crimes by analyzing and detecting patterns in years of past crime data. the projections are recalibrated daily, as new crimes occur and updated data is fed into the program.  Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 6:19 pm   Message   750 Net-Daemon Joined: 13 Dec 2010 Posts: 686 As i commented elsewhere on this, i wonder how the system will be gamed by police and criminals alike.  Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 6:39 pm   Message   Kovacs Disposable Assassin Joined: 19 Sep 2006 Posts: 1458 Location: Ottawa, Canada Seems like it'd be useless against flash mobs.  Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 7:26 pm   Message   750 Net-Daemon Joined: 13 Dec 2010 Posts: 686 Heh, setting off flashmobs using some kind of pseudorandom location and time of day could result in a whole lot of noise in the system Maybe this is the trace element of cyberpunk, the envisioning of negative and/or criminal uses of technology?  Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 2:58 am   Message   Wiggett More Machine Than Man Joined: 06 May 2007 Posts: 2100 actually yeah random flashmob smashing windows is a kind of civil disobedience I could almost get behind in protest to that prediction system. _________________        Cyberpunk Review Forum Index » Akihabara Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3 ... 203, 204, 205     Jump to: Select a forum Meatspace----------------Virtual MeatspaceAkihabaraReviewer Forum  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group Xbox Xtreme by Scott Stubblefield
