Just to be clear:

Software can do more than one thing, believe it or not - and Windows 10 can both log keystrokes and take memory dumps, especially if a person chooses “full” diagnostics - https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-10-feedback-diagnostics-and-privacy

Just a reminder that the diagnostic data is a key logger that takes memory dumps of running applications.

First, their current privacy policies disallow it in most cases.

“In a party-line vote of 27–12 on Monday, senators approved SB54...” 

Here’s the thing: we have tons of historical data on normalized minimum wage levels, economic growth, and other factors for labor market softness, employment demand, etc. It’s all out there. There’s never been a significant retraction (there have been adjustments, sure) due to a raised minimum wage - because, for…

“Changed oil, discovered 7cm hole in block”.

That’s why it goes over your backpack.

In fact, beyond simply creating a false profile, you could have the bot work to counter all impressions directly - have it visit Fox as much as you visit CNN, have it browse sites with opposed and complementary viewpoints, activities and such, have it search for products that imply different viewpoints.

I had an ‘87 300SDL (turbo) that was a “get it running and it’s yours” from an uncle of mine - one six hour glowplug job, some new vacuum lines, and it was happy. Gave it away still all working at around 360k miles

Just going to say - you put your poncho over your backpack - no one will see the pattern on it.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

And I apologize if my tone was combative or dismissive, I’ll try for just “informative” next time.

You said you didn’t see any arguments against it - I simply posted what the arguments are. One can also argue that this is a waste of RF spectrum for what would be a negligible safety gain, if any. The privacy concern is also essentially inarguable.

Basically, a reverse GPS signal. It’s really not a bad plan.

“I don’t see much of an argument against developing this technology”

Also, this is data for ‘81-now, and the 80s MBs are built better than many tanks.

That is exactly what that means

“Especially if we started with state houses and worked upwards. A typical state senator could probably be bought for a mere 100k.”

They’re only cheap because there’s no counter-bidding going on. $700k is just the retainer fee - if there was a bidding war, there’d be no hope of winning.
