Problems with face recognition programs and Facebook

Privacy is the very complicated thing, and some people don't want that their pictures would deliver to the Internet. Other people claim that the things like image recognition would make users juridical position better.  Now there is the new problem with people, who want to hide their identity in social media. That is the image recognition mode in Facebook, and that would cause very embarrassing situations in social media because that technology denies using other person pictures in that solution. Another thing that is very exciting is that face recognition software can be used in special locking systems in the highly secured computer world.


That kind of systems can allow locking important files in the computer, and they can be used by WEB-camera, what would work in laptop and mobile telephone. The new kind of computer protection allows to open the computer, but the files that are confidential turns to the "stealth-mode", what means that if the superiority, who has no access to all data uses computers with the henchman's password can he use that computer, but the superiority doesn't see the highly secure files, what is not meant to that boss. But when we are going back to the problems with face recognition there is one very big problem with the law. If somebody takes the picture in courtroom or military area, would that person allowed to mark other persons, and then compile their faces with other social media accounts, and that would allow uncovering the real identities of the policemen, who are working under faked identity.


There is one big problem: what if somebody uses this system as a "stealth mode", what means that the user of mobile telephone doesn't even know that the face recognition programs are installed in the mobile telephone by remote control. This means that some third party can remotely identify any person, who stands ahead of the infected mobile telephone. And the camera can be used by remote controlled. The image recognition is maybe illegal, but what the law enforcement can do with that? If somebody would take Facebook to the court, they might say, that also use other person's identity for harmful purposes is also illegal.


The juridical point of the image recognition is that everybody has right to send any data about him or her self what the person wants. Also, the defenders would take the point, that everybody has right to know, that the pictures if this person is not manipulated and their faces would not stamp to porn pictures. But this might cause the situation, that some criminals misuse that service. And if the court would not clearly say that face recognition hurts somebody persons legal right to privacy, will the Facebook continue the use of that system. Terrorists and drug smugglers are not persons, who're privacy would stop the use image recognition on the Internet.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
