California Penal Code 399: If an owner knows their animal is dangerous or mischievous, fails to keep it under control, and it kills a person, the owner commits a felony. If only serious injury occurs, it is a wobbler (depends on extent of injury as to whether misdemeanor or felony charges get pressed.)

No state completely lacks a legal mechanism to penalize or hold owners civilly or criminally negligent in this case, and most states explicitly have criminal statues covering this.

Are you just being willfully obtuse or what?

Using a GPU versus a CPU (as was done here) increases how quickly you can churn through those remaining possible permutations (I read the actual paper.)

What was done on an academic CPU cluster could probably be just as easily performed on a well-tuned bitcoin rig at far far faster speed.

You're too late, one is in orbit and I'm making an even bigger one right now.

Go figure, someone with heavy thermal regulation experience in semiconductor technology is what's needed to properly cool high-tech in space and make what everyone says is impossible into reality.

And I do it with only a GED.

Sit down.

This seems like a very obvious and straightforward requirement, force the officer to select an active case to tie the inquiry to.

And at the same time display a warning that selecting an unrelated case "will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination".

Make them just as accountable as any other security system in the pirvate sector.

Yeah that was a stupid thing to do. I don't care which side of the fence you're on regarding Flock cameras, police, or government surveillance, following someone is the wrong response. They're merely an employee doing their job, and you've just escalated it into something very personal.

If that'd have been me, I'd have driven to the cop shop and flagged down an officer, pointed out the car following me, and asked them to go have a word with my tail and ask them to leave me alone.

Taking pictures and filming me out doing my job in public? Sure, fine, go ahead. But if I get tired of it I might leave. Don't follow me, don't harass me. How'd you like it if my buddy with the flock camera mounted on his roof starts following you around? Oh that's different is it? is it really?
