  1. Re:Perhaps not on UK Men Arrested For Anti-Semitic Tweets After Football Game · · Score: 1

    There is an American citizen who recently claimed asylum in Russia, he doesnt appear to have freedom of expression. I think that chap will have to blow off his steam in Russia.

    How did that free speech work out for Snowdon?

    We have a similar problem at the moment. That is a not a problem with robots.

    A "tool which completely replaces a human" would mean we wouldn't *need* jobs. Structural unemployment of 100%! You sound quite negative, but I think it sounds like a utopia.

    You could say a normal camera can take pictures in the dark with a flash. This one uses a laser.

    You seem to have decided on all the details of how this would be implemented and then disagreed with it. Well done.

    You could reduce congestion by taxing busy roads more than lightly used ones.

    E.g. with a metal detector and patting them down.

    Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, but is used as an indicator. Have lots of accidents and you pay more for insurance.

    It appears that you have got your assessment criteria from Beverly Hills Cop.

    When you lock your house front door do you also add a little duct tape in case the lock is picked?

    Nonsense. A closer analogy would be, locking the door and questioning people carrying lock picking equipment.

    One could only actively avoid the risk profiling if profiling criteria are known. I would imagine profiling criteria would not be in the public domain. I can see how risk profiling could improve detection rates.
