Swarm Management: Anybody who has led guilds or raids in World of Warcraft can learn how to lead a swarm. Or, for that matter, most entrepreneurs who have led small-scale teams dependent on trust. In essence, it’s the same social and psychological mechanisms.
I confess that when I read this story, I realized I had missed an important trend. This is a big deal, as it says, and it tells us that the days of industrial chemical based monoculture, depending on massive infusions of rock phosphates is doomed. The solution working with nature, not trying to dominate her.
Here is a report on the direction we need to go, abandoning the chemical dominate nature approach to agriculture, and embracing working with nature's system. Note the comment about how even a well-meaning billionaire like Bill Gates using his money can make a mistake that skews the entire world in the wrong direction. This, in itself, is an emerging trend. With 8 per cent of the population controlling 50 per cent of the world's wealth, the errors made by people like Gates can impose deeply flawed solutions on the world that the other 92 per cent have to live with.
Protests swept Turkey on Friday and deep into Saturday morning as thousands of protesters called on prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to resign.
What began as a demonstration against a shopping mall project turned into one of the biggest challenges in recent years to Mr Erdogan’s rule, as whole districts of Istanbul resounded to the banging of pots and pans into the early hours of the morning. Drivers hit car horns in support of the demonstrators.

However, the size of the protests, and the speed with which they grew, appeared to be a reaction not just to the police crackdown on the initial demonstration in Gezi Park but to Mr Erdogan’s general approach to government.
“Gezi park is the new Tahrir of the region,” said Koray Caliskan, a Turkish columnist, in reference to the epicentre of Egypt’s 2011 revolution.
Yes, it's the camo-colored-hat skript k1dd13 tool. And is it going to check whether it has the required warrants or legal authorization before launching an attack on a target, or just fire away? I've got some guesses..
Leave it to the government to turn the internet into the next battlefield and to weaponize technology. Any new frontier we explore, the first priority is to figure out how the hell we are going to fight wars in it, because wars are what life is all about.
I work in infosec and I'm not saying passivity is an option, but this is the same idiotic mentality that causes so many problems in the “real world” today. Half the problems they talk about with the vulnerability of our infrastructure are totally avoidable if companies and agencies were willing to take basic security precautions, but that would be too easy and too cheap…how would the defense contractors make their money? Why make it about simple actions which can protect networks and computers and keep issues from spreading, when you can keep doing all the stupid ignorant stuff you were doing all along and find a way to escalate the conflict?
It's wonderful that they're trying to dumb down the technology so that people with no understanding of how this stuff actually works can command it too. We know from documentaries like “This is what winning looks like” and the book The Outpost just how well military bureaucracy functions. I can totally understand why we need to simplify the technology to a point where the brilliant minds that brought us Afghanistan and Iraq can work their magic in cyberspace too. If there's one thing we need on the internet it's the input of bloated, corrupt, out of date government agencies.
Someday humankind will figure it out…if we don't destroy ourselves first, that is. We're allowing the worst and most corrupt elements of our society to lead the way, and then we wonder why everything is so screwed up. I get that the rest of the world has equally corrupt and evil people running it, but is the best answer to that problem really to appoint our own legion of corrupt sheisty assholes to combat them?

Now that I have told you why lawyers are some of the finestanalysts in the world, let me get closer to the core value of good lawyering and the rule of law. I’d like to call this part: “Intelligence Under the Law – The Value of No.”
It can be very, very hard to be a conscientious attorney workingin the intelligence community, particularly for those whose worktouches on counter-terrorism and war-fighting. It is not because wedon’t work with great people. We do. We work with people whohave dedicated their lives to protecting this great country and all itstands for.It can be hard, instead, because the stakes couldn’t be higher.Hard because we are likely to hear the words: “If we don’t do this,people will die.” You can all supply your own this: “If we don’t col-lect this type of information,” or “If we don’t use this technique,” or“If we don’t extend this authority.” It is extraordinarily difficult to be the attorney standing in front of the freight train that is the needfor “this.” Because we don’t want people to die. In fact, we havechosen to devote our lives to institutions whose sworn duty it is toprevent that, whose sworn duty it is to protect our country, ourfellow Americans.
But it’s not that simple, although during crises, at times of greatthreat, it can surely seem that simple, certainly to the policy maker and operator, and even to the lawyer. We lawyers know – orshould know – better than anyone, that it is not that simple.At the outset, we know that we are a nation of laws, not men.We have chosen a profession that internalizes that truth. We knowthat the rule of law sets this nation apart and is its foundation. Wealso know that we took an oath to support the constitution of theUnited States. We know that there may be agonizing collisions be-tween our duty to protect and our duty to that constitution and therule of law.
