Privacy is fucked.
why don't we have these on rovers and probes?
The mars reconnaissance orbiter has a telescopic camera, but its still not as good
[quote]Red color images are 20,264 pixels across (6 km wide), and B-G and NIR are 4,048 pixels across (1.2 km wide). HiRISE's onboard computer reads these lines in time with the orbiter's ground speed, and images are potentially unlimited in length. Practically however, their length is limited by the computer's 28 Gigabit (Gb) memory capacity, and the nominal maximum size is 20,000 × 40,000 pixels (800 megapixels) and 4,000 × 40,000 pixels (160 megapixels) for B-G and NIR images. Each 16.4 Gb image is compressed to 5 Gb before transmission and release to the general public on the HiRISE website in JPEG 2000 format.[30][31] To facilitate the mapping of potential landing sites, HiRISE can produce stereo pairs of images from which topography can be calculated to an accuracy of 0.25 m.[32] HiRISE was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.[/quote]

Cause the mars rover has equipment that's roughly 15 years old.

Also 1m TB of video is ludicrous. I wonder where they store all that, it has to be a gigantic data center.
1 million terabytes of video?
Holy shit.
i didnt know "gigapixel" was a thing yet
I hate this world.

One day I'll be taking a shit and somewhere, some robot has already measured and weighed it before the scent reaches my fucking nose.

If you have a glass roof, yeah.
imagine taking a picture of someones face.
you could zoom in THROUGH THEIR SKIN.
maybe.
One million terabytes a DAY?
I cant even read a book off my shitty fucking webcam.
Welp, time to buy some tarps! Tarps.. Tarps everywhere!

yes, let's ignore how amazing this technology is just because i am skeptical of big brother trying to infringe upon my america rights

To be honest, it really is terrifying how good governments around the world are getting at spying on their own people, not just America.
Reminds me of the system Fox used in Dark Knight.

Doesn't matter how good the technology is, depends on how it's being applied.
Right now there's no concrete information on how ARGUS is going to be used, but we'll have to see.
1,000 Petabytes a day. Holy fucking [b]SHIT[/b]
Now, let's use it for porn.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;39412343]Now, let's use it for porn.[/QUOTE]
no
let's not
this shit is legitimately amazing
The things we create as a species is truly astounding. But of course the governments use it against us.
They should open-source the design.
It's not unimaginable that we'll have drones patrolling the domestic skies somewhere in the coming decade, to assist law enforcement.
