Miami U.S. Attorney’s Office, FBI accused of spying on defense in Medicare fraud case.
Defense goes to FBI warehouse to look at documents for discovery. Is told that if they want to copy any of those documents, they have to use approved copy shop. Approved copy shop provides FBI with CD ROM of the documents that the defense wanted copied. So it's not quite intercepting privileged conversation, but there's a lot you could glean about defense strategy by looking at which documents they wanted copied, and this sure feels like dirty pool.

The reader can record data from any magstripe card – even down to hotel keys – and works with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, as well as Best Buy, Costco, Macy's and Walmart gift cards. Any funds found can be frozen or transferred directly to a law enforcement bank account "to protect the integrity of the evidence and ensure the funds are available for trial or forfeiture," ERAD's advertising states.
The state police are paying ERAD $5,000 and 7.7 per cent of all funds seized. Highway Patrol Lt John Vincent told KWTV that the main purpose of the readers is to catch identity thieves and money launderers.
Yeah, so if you piss off a cop in Oklahoma, they can drain your bank account and leave you without the resources to mount a defense. Civil asset forfeiture needs to stop. Hard.

Here's a great read on how a department's policy was undermining company security, and something you may want to read carefully in light of what we know about how casually various high level officials, from John Deutch to Colin Powell to... uh... others... have treated policy around technology and secrecy safeguards. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysad...ps_a_paper_list_of/?compact=true

Air pollution linked to increased mental illness in children:
The EU and WHO limit for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is 40mcg/m3 (micrograms per cubic metre), but levels can reach many times that in polluted cities like London. The researchers found that a 10mcg/m3 increase in NO2 corresponded to a 9% increase in mental illness in the children. For the same increase in tiny particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), the increase was 4%.
This is the price of free parking and expanded roads.

In 2002, I was handed a "fortune cookie" like slip of paper (at Burning Man of course) that said: "Do not confuse stability with stagnation". I've been staring at that for months, and am starting to do things about looking around for "whats next". As I do it, I see I don't fit into normal "job" application or large companies pigeonholes which has me considering re-inventing the world and starting a business again. Maybe a technology related business, maybe not so "tech". What profitable niches could/should be filled?
