The growing world of cyber security. Federal budget 2016: Liberals to spend $11.9 billion on infrastructure over two years. The Liberal government claims its new two-phase infrastructure spending program will boost Canada’s GDP by 0.2 per cent this year and 0.4 per cent next year.
Phase one consists of $11.9 billion for a mix of “green,” social and transit projects over the next two years. Phase two will focus on the construction of projects over the next eight years that will go “hand in hand with the transition to a low-carbon economy,” the government said. It expects phase-one spending to have an immediate impact on Canada’s gross domestic product. Nearly $4 billion in infrastructure spending this fiscal year will combine with other measures announced Tuesday — such as investments in housing and programs to support low-income households — to boost the GDP by 0.5 per cent this year, according to economic impact estimates contained in the budget document.
The government will then roll out more than $7 billion in infrastructure spending in the next fiscal year. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld Financial Post. DP Principles 4. Anti-Choice Groups Use Smartphone Surveillance to Target 'Abortion-Minded Women' During Clinic Visits - Rewire. Last year, an enterprising advertising executive based in Boston, Massachusetts, had an idea: Instead of using his sophisticated mobile surveillance techniques to figure out which consumers might be interested in buying shoes, cars, or any of the other products typically advertised online, what if he used the same technology to figure out which women were potentially contemplating abortion, and send them ads on behalf of anti-choice organizations?
The executive—John Flynn, CEO of Copley Advertising—set to work. He put together PowerPoint presentations touting his capabilities, and sent them to groups he thought would be interested in reaching “abortion-minded women,” to use anti-choice parlance.

Panicked Instagram users protested, afraid their posts would get lost in the revised stream, and began posting pictures with the hashtag #turnmeon, pleading with followers to turn on notifications for their accounts. In response to the uproar, Instagram posted a tweet that amounted to, “Hey, calm down. Discrimination in Online Ad Delivery. How Companies Learn Your Secrets.

You’ve probably heard something similar before, and for no profession is it likely more true than for law. Law is about information. From databases storing clients’ details, to records of file notes, title searches, online banking, accounting, trust account transactions, internal memos, emails, evidence – almost everything lawyers do rests on the knowledge that essential information exists, is available, and is secure from being accessed by those without authority.

We have been conditioned to accept privacy abuses as the price of using the Internet. These abuses generally involve having our search engine send us “better” ads, which most of us believe cannot be too dangerous. Digitalisierung und Überwachung: Wenn Roboter Sheriff spielen.

Story of cities #future: what will our growing megacities really look like?
Amid the much-mythologised graffiti that appeared around Sorbonne University during the French civil unrest in May 1968, one line still stands out as intriguing and ambiguous: “The future will only contain what we put into it now.”
What appears at first utopian has more than a hint of the ominous. While augmented reality creates a city individualised for every occupant, and developments in modular architecture and nanotechnology might result in rooms that change form and function at a whim, the problem lies in the unforeseen. The smart city will also be the surveillance city. Story of cities #48: Cybercity, Mauritius – a vision of Africa's 'smart' future? As the fruit bat flies, it’s only 300 metres from Cyber Tower 1 to the massive food court and commercial centre that was built to service Ebène Cybercity – the hi-tech office community on the outskirts of Mauritius’s capital, Port Louis.
But walking from the ostentatious lobby of Cyber Tower 1 to the shops and restaurants can take 20 minutes – if you don’t get lost along the way. The fastest route by foot bisects car parks, traverses overgrown vacant lots, and stumbles over temporary walkways past some of the biggest businesses on the island. CONNECTOGRAPHY: Mapping the Future of Global Civilization — Parag Khanna.
We’re accelerating into a future shaped less by countries than by connectivity. Mankind has a new maxim – Connectivity is destiny – and the most connected powers, and people, will win. In this book Parag Khanna guides us through the emerging global network civilization in which mega-cities compete over connectivity more than borders.
His journeys take us from Ukraine to Iran, Mongolia to North Korea, Panama City to Dubai, and the Arctic Circle to the South China Sea—all to show how 21st century conflict is a tug-of-war over pipelines and Internet cables, advanced technologies and market access. Yet Connectography is a hopeful vision of the future. Ransomware and DDoS combine to form a dangerous new two-pronged cyber attack. Related topicsMalware Security Related articles Share article.

Sadly, NHTSA estimates 94 percent of highway crashes are a result of human error. Today's electronics, sensors, and computing power enable the deployment of safety technologies, such as forward-collision warning, automatic-emergency braking, and vehicle-to-vehicle technologies, which can keep drivers from crashing in the first place. Given the potential of these innovations, NHTSA is looking at all of our tools, as well as exploring new ones, that can be used to deploy these technologies in safe and effective ways, taking steps to address the new challenges they pose — particularly with respect to cybersecurity.
