Fuck you. This has nothing to do with race, it has EVERYTHING to do with China's human rights record and news stories EVERYONE (except you apparently) have been reading for YEARS about how workers are treated in China. So how about you shut the fuck up, asshole?
To all appearances, Chinese businessmen (as well as their government, of course) treat their own people like automatons to start with, not like human beings, so of course it seems like a no-brainer to dispense with as many troublesome, cost-ineffective, high-maintenance hoo-mans as possible. After all, it's completely unfair that these 'hoo-mans' demand pay, rest, bathroom breaks, etc! What do you mean, they aren't capable of working 24/7/365? Obviously they must be lazy and entitled and should be eliminated by nice, clean, quiet machines.
What the fuck, China? You have over a BILLION people, and you want to put as many of them out of work as possible? What the fuck do you plan to do, grind up half of them to feed the rest with?
This man committed TREASON against the United States of America. Why is he not being summarily executed, with extreme prejudice, for this crime? Ten years isn't SHIT for treason. The only possible reason I can think of, is they want to keep him around to use for prisoner exchange, or to sift his brain for more information. Otherwise he should be pushing up daisies.
Anyone want to take bets on how long it'll take for CBS/Paramount to sue him for not only building it, infringing on their 'IP', but for posting it on YouTube? Will this be the first time in history that a 'DMCA Takedown' involved 'taking something down' with a wrecking ball and backhoe? Think they'll just destroy his basement, or demolish the entire house?
Oh and all you assholes out there who are going to give me shit for liking 'classic' Star Trek and NOT liking the crap they're producing now? Especially after the Axanar incident? Shove it up your asses, fuck you sideways with a rusty chainsaw, drink Drano and die horribly, I do not give a flying fuck what you think or say or do, you are wrong, I am right, WE are right (classic Trek fans), YOU have no taste, fuck you sideways with a rusty chainsaw, eat shit, drink Drano, and die horribly. I eagerly await my negative-one 'Troll' or 'Flamebait' rating for this post. Jerks.
Here's the most RECENT news story about Microsoft invading people's privacy, and how France is calling them out on it: https://yro.slashdot.org/story...
Note that's just THE MOST RECENT story relating to Microsofts' violations of people's privacy and their sovereign right to control computers bought and paid for with THEIR OWN MONEY. There are plenty more over the last several months.
But of course some cock-sucking Microsoft fanboi like you doesn't care about anything so trivial and meaningless like FACTS, all you care about is making your masters up in Redmond happy with you.
Oh and how much do they pay you, Microsoft SHILL? Do they pay you by the word (which would explain why you used so many words to say essentially NOTHING) or by the posting? Do they review it for quality purposes? Do they pay you more, or less, for posting as an AC?
Do they at least use a condom when they shove their corporate cock up your ass? Or do you prefer it bareback? Get a nice reach-around? A nice kiss afterwards (assuming you've posted enough shill comments for them)?
You're probably a Trump supporter, too, and think he'll 'Make America Great Again (tm)'. Just like Microsoft, all he -- and they -- will do is bring us to grief and RUIN.
Now fuck off and die. Microsoft shill. You make me SICK.
So it's a physically larger, much more expensive piece of shit that invades your privacy and collects personal data on you, so what? How is this news? Why should we even care?
Anyone got links for me on DIY surface-to-air missiles? It's bad enough that the Internet is polluted with Facebook, I'll be damned if my airspace is going to be polluted with it too.
If you people would wean yourselves off your compulsive over-use of your phones instead of being glued to them 24/7/365, you probably wouldn't even need any of their overpriced dataplans to start with, and none of you would be faced with this problem in the first place.
When we live in a world where little girls are attacked, have acid thrown in their faces, or killed outright, just because they wanted to go to school to learn about things beyond being wives and baby-making machines, and where there are violent assholes running around, blowing up historical landmarks, archaeological sites, killing people just because they don't believe in some Invisible Sky God the same exact way they do, and cutting off people's heads on gods-be-damned YouTube, and some are denying their kids much-needed vaccinations or not taking them to the doctor when they're very, very sick because their 'god' says they shouldn't believe in such things, then so far as I'm concerned all the 'charity work' you could ever do does not balance the scales against all that.
I desperately want the human brain to finally evolve past the need for all this superstitious, mystical, irrational gods/religion/spirituality bullshit, and embrace rational thinking, reason, real knowledge, and a hunt for real truth.
I read this and I'm just shaking my head at how incredibly ludicrous every word in that statement was.
The "..sinful aspects of Pokemon"
Yeah no kidding buddy.
Would someone care to explain to me, in rational, logical terms, how, in 2016, religion does anything whatsoever positive, in the long term, for the Human race in general? I don't think anyone can. All I see is ancient works of fiction (Bible, Quran, etc), regardless of how beautifully written they may have been, being leveraged by power-seeking people to exploit the masses and convince them to live ass-backwards lives, and also using these books as an excuse to commit crimes against humanity. It's literally holding back Human evolution, and the evolution of civilization. Please, Human race, can we get over this nonsense sooner rather than later, before we kill ourselves off over it?
But at the same time, as Intercept points out, they become especially potent tracking devices that can put users in mortal danger by leaking their location.
Which is close to the top of the list of reasons why I really don't want one at all.
Now, if I could get an OS and drivers for the GSM hardware that were all open-source, and I could examine and compile it all myself, and load it onto the phone, then maybe, but as is? They've got more security holes than your average kitchen colander.
The best my buddy could come up with who bought an Android one was some mumbling about how its more socially acceptable to glance at texts on your wrist, than to take your phone out.
If somoene want to be more 'socially acceptable' then how about not reading texts at all in social situations, how about people, I dunno, pay attention to the people they're with, rather than retreating into their smartphones like some 12-year old who is bored with the adults' after-dinner conversation?
Of course they'll be outfitted with cameras and microphones and people would get used to having them around, how convenient for the NSA/CIA/FBI, and the soon-to-be formed Thought Police.
Why? So the NSA and Facebook can directly spy on your thoughts, and your ISP can directly beam targeted ads into your brain while you sleep, to make you want to buy, buy, buy MORE things you don't need? So Chinese, Russian, and North Korean hackers can upload wetware trojans and make your brain part of their botnets?
Knowing Microsoft's history, I wouldn't at all be surprised if it detects a 3rd-party browser being used, and intentionally disables power management to force battery drain, to trick you into using their browser instead.
Hey, nice battery you've got there, end user, it would be a shame if something.. HAPPENED to it.. Maybe you'd better use our Edge browser, you know, for your own protection
If they actually OWN the tractor, then they should be able to repair it as required, themselves if they're capable, and no one should be allowed to tell them 'no'. If they got tricked into a 'lease' or 'rental' by unclear paperwork, hidden agreements, or any other type of obfuscation of true intent on the part of John Deere, then there should be legal remedy up to and including invalidating any 'agreements' farmers have been tricked into signing, court order(s) mandating the cease and desist of the deceptive practices, and perhaps even compensation to the farmers for lost income.
On the other hand if the farmers KNEW that they were basically renting/leasing the tractors, then I have no sympathy for them -- except that in that case they should get their lawyers to pound on John Deere for not being instantly responsive to breakdowns of the rented/leased equipment, since it's all mission-critical to the time-sensitive nature of the farmers' business.
See, here's the problem with 'black boxes' in cars to start with: Some insurance companies are already trying to push something similar in exchange for a discount. However it shouldn't be any of their business where you're driving your car. At present you can say 'no' to these tracking devices. If 'black boxes' became mandated, then insurance companies would push for, and get, access to their contents, and with it a complete record of your whereabouts. We're already tracked online, there's already cameras and license plate scanners all over the place, and through various mechanisms your purchasing habits are already being tracked, too. Having your insurance company tsk-tsk you for where and when you drive your car is just going way too far.
As an aside to this, did you know that many trucking companies record video and audio inside the cabs of their trucks, to monitor and review their drivers' expressions and what they might say, as well as the usual GPS tracking of where they go, how fast, etc? You can get fired for uttering something that they consider a sign of 'road rage', or even having an expression on your face that they don't like.
If 'black boxes' became mandated in all vehicles, it's not that much further to putting audio and video recording inside all vehicles, too, 'for safety purposes', of course. I've already shown you the precedent for it in the commercial sector. These things always seem to come on in small increments, so nobody really notices until it's too late. Would you really want to live in a world where you can't even drive your own car without someone watching you and listening to you do it, and knowing where and when you're doing it? No thanks, and anyone that thinks that's OK is either not appreciative of how invasive and creepy it would be, or they're just not right in the head to start with.
Why? So everyone can be tracked everywhere they go and have no choice in the matter? You do realize that they'll have GPS tracks recorded, too, don't you? Are you eager to have the government up your ass even more than they already are?
Let me tell you something you don't seem to see, buddy: I'm an adult white male living in the United States. So-called 'UBI' or no, they'd find a way to screw me out of it, make me have a job anyway, and tax the living fuck out of me so some other fuckers can sit on their ass all day, drink, and otherwise screw around, while I'll be denied the money or time to do ANYTHING I want to do with my life. Argue with me about this all you want, I've been around enough decades to have seen how things work, and that THIS is what would await me in you people's dumb-ass 'UBI' world. Oh and by the way we're already partway there, I'm already FORCED to buy an overpriced, underperforming 'health plan', or pay an annual fine to the government, and all it's 'doing' for me is making me spend money on something that never pays for anything I NEED it to pay for, giving me less money to spend on the things that actually keep me healthy. So I have no expectations whatsoever that your 'UBI' nonsense would be anything other than yet another way to make ME work to pay for someone else to sit on their ass all day every day and complain about how they're not getting enough free money from the government.
It's very simple, really. The way I see it, we have three choices: 1. More automation, and, eventually, a World War to end all World Wars, perhaps and extinction-level event for Humans, because you can't just discard billions of people and tell them "We have machines to do anything you can do, tough shit, go find some other way to live, LOL, we don't give a fuck!" and not expect there to be consequences. 2. Prohibit, limit, or make 'unfashionable' mass automation, and give humans gainful employment, to preserve the peace. 3. Global mandate to either ensure that displaced workers are re-educated/re-trained for upgraded jobs, or create jobs for displaced workers, so everyone has gainful employment and can support themselves. If you just ignore the problem, eventually we'll have war. If you treat human being, en-masse, as garbage to be discarded, we'll have war. If you try to create a giga-welfare state with unworkable nonsense like the so-called UBI, you'll destroy the economy of entire nations, and eventually you'll probably have war. You think things are bad in the world right now? Remember that much of what's happening in the world is due to the financial collapse here in the U.S. 8 years ago. Also look at how much the UK deciding to exit the EU has sent shockwaves through the world economy. Do you really think that hundreds of millions of people being put out of work and replaced with automation is going to have zero effect on the world as a whole? Even if you came up with 24th century Star Trek style matter replicators, powered by clean efficient and endless power from antimatter and fusion reactor power plants, there'd still be all sorts of fallout; go read Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age if you want some idea of what the world would be like, even if something like that came to pass. You have to at least keep people busy with something or bad shit will happen! "Idle hands are the Devils' playthings" is not just some religious nonsense, it's a valid and accurate commentary on human beings and what happens when we get bored for too long.
So innocent black people should get gunned down by the police on your street because you are weary of world violence?
Ah, I see what your point is now: Your point is to be a piece of shit troll and stir things up. Fuck the fuck off and stop attaching other shit to what I had to say. Asshole. Don't bother responding I have nothing more to say to you.
I'm not sure I understand what point you're trying to make. Mine is fairly obvious: While 'black lives matter', so do everyone else's, too. Getting shot by cops because you're black is very, very bad, but so is getting your head cut off by some violent assholes, or getting shot up while you're out at a club, or run down by some lunatic in a truck while you're watching fireworks. Blacks here in America don't have a corner on the unfairness and suffering market, it's all over the place, and I'm beyond weary of it all.
Targeting the TOR and any other onion-routing network is completely unfair and an attack on human rights; it's used to enable people living in oppressive countries to have a voice, and I'm all for it.
Bitcoin on the other hand is guilty as charged. It's been a natural from Day One for being an instrument for money laundering and illegal activity.
I'll believe it. Also, know what happens if you're very sure you've been discriminated against in the hiring process? Nothing. You go to a lawyer, talk about a lawsuit? You'll get told it's a waste of time and to just go looking for a job somewhere else instead. Therefore how are there any real statistics about discrimination in hiring? Employers, if questioned, will just say that the applicant in question didn't meet the qualifications, or 'wasn't the best fit', or any number of totally subjective, non-objectionable things that nobody can say aren't true. Nobody is going to say "Well, we're really looking for a WHITE MAN, so we can't hire you" unless they're complete fools.
