  1. Re:Threatened on Lawmakers Worry About Rise of Fake Video Technology (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    ...guarded all the more intently by professional journalists

    Kind of like the Wolves guarding the sheep.

    Probably the only thing you can do is to develop and mandate some kind of technology to embed encryption of some kind into video. So maybe laws mandating that all video that is edited be so noted and how it was edited...not unlike the message you see on TV movies that has, "been modified to fit on our screen"

    I have no idea how, but we have already seen the "professional journalist" manipulate videos. Technology needs to be employed and not reliance on, "professional journalist".

  2. It's obvious that a fucking AC isn't worth listening to unless he has the Balls to at least put even a Fake name to his comments so we can recognize an asshole when we see him.

    As far as we know, you are just another Russian. How ironic.

  5. Re:..and Mueller is just getting warmed up, folks on US Charges Russian Social Media Trolls Over Election Tampering (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I honestly can't tell if that's Sarcasm or not. Because it lines up perfectly with what the mentally ill Hillary Butthurts believe.

    If Trolling were a crime 98% of the internet would be in jail.

    How about you name a bit know and proven to be true.

    Or are we at the point where I could just write shit down and demand everyone accept it at face value?

  8. Millions of Single Men... on China Reassigns 60,000 Soldiers To Plant Trees In Bid To Fight Pollution · · Score: 1

    ...with no prospect of marriage or even a girl friend due to their propensity to abort girls resulting in an imbalance of over 33 million more men than women.

    You have to find something to occupy their time.

  9. They'll all really be sucking wind in April 2019 when they can't deduct the outrageous CA property and income taxes

  10. Pardon me...I have my violin here in my shirt pocket.

    But they want that CA lifestyle I guess.

  11. PT Barnum Was Right on LoopX Startup Pulls ICO Exit Scam and Disappears with $4.5 Million (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is a reason the SEC exists...not that companies haven't pulled equally dishonest things under their watchful eye.

  12. What happened to the old Ethics courses?

  16. Re: Racist, or accurate? on Facial Recognition Is Accurate, if You're a White Guy (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Have you ever watched some war move where all the actors are relatively unknown and are sporting a buzz cut?

    Can't tell one white guy from another, especially if they have similar builds.

    And when they later use camo face paint...forget it. All you can rely on is their voices

  17. Re: Facial recognition on Facial Recognition Is Accurate, if You're a White Guy (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Darker colors provide less contrast. Less contrast means features are more difficult to make out.

    Combine that with the typically horrendous lighting video cams face and you have a situation where recognition fails.

  18. I just joined patreon and a pledged support for a hunting channel that was repeatedly flagged by the cocking PETA fuckers and then demonetized.

    Fuck them and fuck the cocksuckers at YouTube.

  19. Vegetables, especially Asparagus, will Kill You!!

  20. If we want to get into the weeds, it's a homicide.

    Homicide can be justified or unjustified. But, "Did you homicide him" just doesn't really roll off the tongue, eh?

  21. That is irrelevant to the question.

    I am arguing that the facts must be established, starting with the central fact...a killing occurred.

    The defense attorney can argue the circumstances and clarify the situation.

    Likewise, these "fact checking" sites should render a yes or no and in a separate section, editorialize on what they think mitigating circumstances are.

  22. Those are all Value judgements. There is no objective measurement that can be made to evaluate their truthfulness.

    And you can shove your Snark up your ass.

  23. Facts are facts. If you are sitting, then you are sitting.

    I actually should have said that EVERYTHING is true or false...and perhaps it applies to specific statements that can be objectively measured to a binary solution.

    If it cannot be, then it is not a factual statement and cannot be claimed to be right or wrong and instead, merely argued as a point of view.

    "(some person) lied about (some thing)" is either true, or false assuming that thing they lied about can be evaluated to a binary condition.

  24. "Subsidies are bad" has no objective determination. It is a value statement, not a factual statement.

  25. It's easy to make a statement that is by itself factual true

    THAT is the purpose of Fact checking.

    Everything after is an editorial.
