Let's not forget the comprehensive Parler leak. ALL DATA. A gold mine for the FBI.
|
|
|
|
|
And Parler required people to post a photo ID such as a driving license to prove their identity if they wanted greater credibility. And many people did.
Oh, can we ever get back to the 1960s?
They say the Zodiac killer (1960s serial rapist/murderer) in the San Francisco area could have been caught if the SF Police Department had a computer to track his crimes. They didn't because computers cost hundreds of thousands of dollars if not a million.

And yet politicians want to outlaw weaken encryption because they figure they're not getting enough data.
Law enforcement used to be able to solve the same crimes that were being committed before the existence of computers, let alone having practically everyone carry one on them at all times and collecting evidence for law enforcement.
I keep saying, they want to solve crimes by typing queries into a computer. To me, the mass surveillance implications are downright scary.
I can't remember what detective show I was watching, but there was always a sign in the background at a police precinct to remind the officers working there to "Go pound the pavement". It's still an option. They just want to make their own lives easier by encroaching into yours.

I am NOT commenting on their political views.
I am wondering how they thought they could get away with it because they cannot be identified in a mob.
There is absolutely no privacy when the Government has got billions of data points on everybody.

Nah, I've had it and I don't wish it on anyone.

Fair enough...
you are right, innocent people living near or in the same familie as them doesn't deserve it.

Finished converting the U.S. Naval Observatory Astrometry software from c and doubles to c# and decimal.
The only calculations the decimals couldn't handle were the speed of light in meters (overflow) and weak gravity calculation (divide by zero). In those cases, had to use intermediate doubles.
So now you know.

Using published algorithms. Any fiddling on my part would come much later.

How could going from decimal to double avoid a divide by zero?
I would have spent significant resources in discovering how that could be.

The fraction in the decimal get truncated much earlier than a double. The double has less precision but much more range; it's the other way around with decimal; even though its wider byte-wise.

If the divisor in theory, mathematically, "should have been" zero but isn't because of imprecision as floats are not 'real' numbers of unlimited precision, then the underlaying algorithm should indeed be closely inspected and investigated.
If the avoidance of a divide by zero exception is an artifact of limited precision, then I am getting close to call that a faulty implementation of the algorithm.
If, on the other hand, the divisor is from a mathematical point of view - really non-zero, but has been zeroed by some software or hardware algorithmic rules, then these rules should be reconsidered. It should never be tolerated that a small, non-zero divisor causes a divide-by-zero error. That is simply incorrect! If the divisor is "valid", yet so small that it should be equivalent to zero, then it must be handled as a value (like zero), not causing an exception. If it could be handled in float format, it should be handled similarlu in decimal format!
