Secret Cameras Record Baltimore’s Every Move From Above
Live, constantly recorded footage of an entire city core means that after a known crime occurs, the recordings can be checked to see who was there and wound back to see where they came from, where they went after, etc. Massive privacy implications, but feels sort of inevitable. This is what I always imagined Google Maps would turn into.

“The expected thing, then, is that love will pop out at us, like a dolphin breaching in a polluted urban estuary. While its not terribly sympathetic to wait for happiness to come to you in your roomy pants, there is the appealing idea that it’s something that simply hasn’t happened yet, like the onset of a genetic disease.”

Hack of Democrats’ Accounts Was Wider Than Believed, Officials Say
Wikileaks Is Now In The Biz Of Pushing Hillary Clinton Conspiracy Theories
This is quite strange. Assange is trying to tie the July death of a DNC staffer in an apparent armed robbery to HRC’s campaign, offering a $20k reward for further info. The piece quotes Assange:
“Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. A 27-year-old, who works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington,” Assange told an interviewer. He went on to say “there’s no finding” that Rich was killed in a robbery.
He stops just short of saying the robber was the DNC leaker, but implies it by leaving two possibly unrelated sentences hanging out suspiciously closely. “Whistleblowers take risks. A DNC staffer was shot.”
I certainly find it more believable that damaged narcissist and avowed Clinton opponent Julian Assange would do something almost criminally misleading like this, more than I buy Clinton would have a DNC staffer killed, especially the July before an election. C’mon Hillary, can’t you hold off killing people for just a few months?!
