A Wanted Man in China Has Been Caught Because of Facial Recognition Software (fastcompany.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The man was reportedly caught after facial recognition software running on cameras at a concert identified him, reports AbacusNews. That's despite there being over 50,000 people attending the concert, which took place in Nanchang, China. Law enforcement in the country has increasingly been turning to facial recognition software to surveil the public for persons of interest.
Sure... Burn it down.
Anarchy is self defeating.
Anarchy leads to tyranny because in the anarchy you create an opportunity for an absolute ruler. We can see this pretty much any time anarchy has been tried. It leads almost immediately to a tyrant. It doesn't matter which ideology you follow... communist fascist whatever... you create anarchy and you're going to get a tyrant.
If you want a tyrant, create anarchy.
Once you understand that it isn't as easy as saying "its just the system, man"... you understand that the path to liberty requires maintaining these institutions and guarding them from corruption.
Absent the institutions we have tyranny.
Absent moderation of the institutions we have tyranny.
You have to moderate them. Its not easy. Its really hard. And while you are doing it many players will whisper in your ear to pervert them to service one end or another. But those roads all lead to tyranny.
I am increasingly of the opinion that there are a lot of people that deserve to live in oppression and possibly starve enough to eat their own cats.
Why? Because there isn't enough respect for the consequences of fucking up the system.
People want things for free. People want to eat the golden goose. People want the rules to only apply when they apply to someone else. People want democracy that only does what their dear leader says.
These contradictions are death. Literal... death. And I'm tired of arguing with people about it. I think they should get the fruits of their ambitions. A whole lot of people should just be allowed to kill themselves with their own bad ideas.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
Anarchy != Chaos
Definitions and the meaning of them tend to get twisted for personal agendas.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchy
Your use of the word implies an agenda. Which is why it's not the primary meaning of the word.
a : absence of government
b : a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority the city's descent into anarchy
c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government
In face 2 out of the 3 definitions of the word imply personal freedom and sovereignty. You choose to use the one to push the false 'chaos' agenda.
I thought all Asians looked alike
Asians think caucasians all look alike. Your brain adjusts to the variation in the types of faces you see on a daily basis. If all your family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances are white, you will have difficulty discriminating between Asian faces. And vice versa.
I live in San Jose, California, which is about 35% Asian, so when I go to Asia I have no problem recognizing individual faces.
