#reminder option for #diaspora*

Hey people,
i was just brainstorming on #tv, #TonyBuzan's (MindMapping) repetition sequence to learn and remember and the internet (socialweb #diaspora).

Buzan's studies in a nutshell indicate that if their isn't a proper repetition in a timely sequence, the mind discards information as a means of filtering what is relevant and what not. TV, and also our endless streams of info not really managed by our selfs don't respect these facts, in the means of proper repetition of the too us important stuff.

The sequence itself is a quite simple time line:
* 5 minutes after a "study unit"
* 1 day after a "study unit"
* 1 week after a "study unit"
* 1 month after "study unit"

So what about a reminder/study option (like the bell we have for notifications on a topic) to check on issues we'd like to dig into and grave into our minds?

Now You Can Find Out if the NSA and GCHQ Spied on You

[]

Thanks to a legal victory #Privacy_International obtained earlier this year, the #UK’s #Investigatory_Powers_Tribunal is now required to search through data the #GCHQ obtained from the #NSA for #information collected on #anyone in the world if that person so requests it. If #you #request the #info and the #Tribunal finds something, it must let #you #know. The catch is #you have to make the request before December 5, 2015. #Privacy_International has made this easy with its “Did GCHQ Illegally Spy on You?” online tool.

Earlier this year the #Investigatory_Powers_Tribunal in the #UK ruled that British intelligence services acted unlawfully when they accessed the #private #communications of millions of #people that had been collected by the #NSA under its #mass-surveillance programs known as #PRISM and #Upstream and shared with the #British #spy agency. The #PRISM program, which began in 2007, allowed the #NSA to collect #data in bulk from #US #companies like #Yahoo and #Google. The #Upstream program involved the collection of #data from #taps placed on hundreds of undersea cables outside the #US.

The #Tribunal will only search for #records #shared between the #NSA and #GCHQ prior to December 2014. And, unfortunately, it won’t #reveal if the #GCHQ obtained #data about #you on its own and/or #shared it with the #NSA, or if the #NSA spied on you and didn’t #share that #data with #GCHQ. The amount of data the #Tribunal will search may also be limited.
