  1. If they want to sell service legally then yes they will have follow the law's of said country.

  2. ""but they do have the right to know." = Not really. Tenants have an expectation of privacy within reasonable limits. Keeping the identities of all visitors indefinitely creates a privacy hazard that does not actually improve safety." How doesn't it improve safety when people know that if they enter that building their identity is register with a video, so if something happens they have facial data of everyone in the building at the time. That would mean anyone looking to cause harm will likely GO somewhere else that doesn't have facial recognition at entry. What you are saying is a Bank would be less likely to be robbed if they had NO camera's in it. As for Privacy, the tenants only really have that reasonable limit within THE apartment they have rented, entry to said building and hall wall up to the front door of said apartment is lack of a better term Public Area which you have no reasonable expectation of privacy from the person that owns the building.

    That is next step argument after gun ban is to ban cars off the road since they are used in more crimes and death then a gun is. Just like a gun people that aren't supposed to be behind the wheel can get one and drive.

  4. yea maybe cause they don't want landlord to know how many people are living in said apartment or who is coming and going to said apartment. With a keycard/keyfob you they don't know who has it or used it just that it was used. They could instead of using facial software just put a camera at the entrance that imposes who the card/fob is linked to apartment wise. Which would be the same thing as facial software.

  5. real comedy in all this on Democrats Introduce 'Save the Internet Act' To Restore Net Neutrality (cnet.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is as much as Democrat's claim NN stops ISPs from controlling activities it gave exemption's to companies like google and Facebook which did exactly what they are claiming their rules are preventing. The vast majority of censorship we seen on the internet happened while NN was in place from said companies. On top of all that they let Obama pretty much turn control most essential part of the internet over to the UN who lets be real that countries that have most strict control over internet information is in control of.

    Other problem is sometimes that system is abused and most people that have videos removed don't get this kinda PR that ends up helping them. A lot of videos that get removed lose a lot of views and never recover from it.

  8. Just the fact Cuomo waited UNTIL after the election to announce the deal told me enough about it. It was a bad deal if you wait til after danger of being voted out passed before revealing a deal like this.

    Its much easier server load wise to just tell clients who is within xxx range of player. Let the clients computer hand rest. Sadly it allows for this to happen as they can see everyone within that range. Its one thing to have server do work load in games with say 12-16 players its another thing when tracking 90+ at start of matches.

    If they didn't change the mandate, but last i heard a house needed a net 0 energy cost over a year.

  23. How many people are buying that leaf? I personally don't want to die in a car that is not much bigger then a beer can. I think They should be elminated for cars that are higher end, like most Tesla model's that cost near 6 figures. Those tax breaks were made specificcly for rich people early on since they were only ones that could afford EV's. So I think Should be an income threshold on who can get those Subsidies.
