Beyond the overreach and privacy intrusion of having the state require systematic logging of citizens' web browsing habits and social media activity, another reason to oppose more expansive state data retention is that it makes the intelligence agencies' job harder — given it increases the noise to signal ration, as Huppert notes.
Here with Landsat data, Google Earth images, and field observations, we show that, in two adjacent biosphere reserves across the border of China and North Korea, over one half of primary forest landscapes have been deteriorated by exploitive uses, including seed harvesting and systematic logging.
The authors also expect encourage systematic logging approaches, repair techniques and analysis techniques.
Despite stating concerns for privacy — and calling for the bill to include "a presumption of people's right to privacy" — Labour is nonetheless apparently quietly accepting of the idea of the systematic state logging of all websites accessed by UK web users for a full year.
We also find that, i) at early stages, the cumulative distribution of cases among countries exhibits linear behavior on log-log scale, being well approximated by a power law decay; ii) for larger times, the cumulative distribution presents a systematic curvature on log-log scale, indicating a gradual change to lognormal behavior.
Observe that the model predicts qualitatively several aspects of the empirical results – the exponential growth after an initial transient, the linear growth in the number of countries with confirmed cases and a cumulative distribution exhibiting a systematic curvature on log-log scale indicating lognormal behavior.
In a forest without any storage of cut logs, systematic roadside surveys underestimated the level of damage.
Because we did not normalize the aGp array data, systematic shifts in log-ratio distributions in proportion to the signal intensities were observed in the scatter plot (Fig. 4C).
Similarly, perhaps the under-predictions for PAHs result from systematic under-predictions of log Koa values for PAHs due to algorithm limitations for these types of chemicals.
In some cases, Yoo's condition of "specific intent" to commit acts of torture is clear from declassified interrogation logs, which reveal systematic and prolonged efforts to induce psychological states of debility, dependence and dread, euphemistically referred to as "ego down", "futility" and "fear up harsh".
