Just
find another law that does apply.
Jason
C. Gavejian and Maya Atrakchi of JacksonLewis write:
A district court in Tennessee recently concluded in Wachter Inc. v. Cabling Innovations LLC that two former employees who allegedly shared confidential company information found on the company’s computer system with a competitor did not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). The CFAA expressly prohibits “intentionally accessing a computer without authorization or exceeding authorized access, and thereby obtaining… information from any protected computer”.

How
stupid is repeating stupid (and thoroughly debunked) ideas?
Remember, If I can’t encrypt I can still encode.
Germany
Talking about Banning End-to-End Encryption
Der
Spiegel is
reporting
that
the German Ministry for Internal Affairs is planning to require all
Internet message services to provide plaintext messages on demand,
basically outlawing strong end-to-end encryption. Anyone not
complying will be blocked, although the article doesn't say how.
(Cory Doctorow has previously
explained why
this would be impossible.)

Amazon
files patent to record before you say 'Alexa'
The
patent
filing,
first spotted by BuzzFeed
News,
would capture and process incoming audio, detect long pauses, and
send the data to a remote server while Alexa waits for the wake word.
I’m
teaching my Architecture students to determine the right time to

What Boards
Need to Know About AI
… normally,
boards don’t have to get involved with individual operational
projects, especially technical ones. In fact, a majority of boards
have very few members who are comfortable with advanced technology,
and this generally has little impact on the company.
This
is about to change, thanks to machine learning and artificial
intelligence.
More
than half of technology executives in the 2019 Gartner CIO Survey say
they intend to employ AI before the end of 2020, up from 14% today.
If you’re moving too
slowly,
a competitor could use AI to put you out of business. But if you
move too
quickly,
you risk taking an approach the company doesn’t truly know how to
manage. In a recent
report by
NewVantage Partners, 75% of companies cited fear of disruption from
data-driven digital competitors as the top reason they’re
investing.
Someone
thinks this is possible.
The
rise of privacy preserving AI
… Privacy-preserving
AI techniques like federated learning are powering new systems that
can benefit from multiple companies' data — without even having to
know what the data is.
… Perhaps
the most obvious application for federated learning is in health
care, where strict rules prevent sharing patient data — but the
benefit of gathering lots is potentially very high.
- Owkin, a French startup, has connected more than 30 hospitals and research centers to a system that learns from all of them, in the process rewarding the hospitals that contribute the best data.
- Each institution's data stays on its own computers, rather than being sent elsewhere for processing.
I had not heard of these, but they make sense.
KCPD adds
'internet exchange' signs at stations for online sales
The Kansas City, Missouri Police Department now
has official “internet exchange” areas at each of its six
stations in the city.
Those who set up transactions online, such as
through Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, can meet at KCPD parking
lots to complete the sale.
… Police warned that any buyer or seller not
willing to meet at police stations “may have ulterior motives and
could be unsafe.”
