  1. Re:First amendment ? WTH ? on Amazon Argues That Alexa Is Protected By the First Amendment in a Murder Trial (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    That is the point. Laymen have an idea of what jurisprudence is while courts have their ways to handle jurisprudence and both ways do not match. I have the idea that programmers will have an even different third way to see jurisprudence and that would be the right one, but no guarantee this is true always, nor that courts and the profession will accept it. So overall, you have to let them discuss matters and accept what they agree in court because it generates juris-prudence and it may not be working the way you think. The assertion is simple: if I let ONE, I must let EVERYONE ELSE, FOREVER, TOO. These people are fighting on how to phrase things so that in the future cases either match or not, under that assertion. OK, that is how I think it should work! And the underlying assumption of their discussion. If there was a murder... it is privy over privacy consideration to solve it and the situation is already in itself extraordinary (assumption), but does not override the no self incrimination rule. In any case, claiming silence to avoid self incrimination is a bad point. If only a few policemen and lawyers and court officials will listen to the very likely boring material, how badly can your unique privacy be harmed? And there is already one real case: one murderer convicted of murder because he murdered the woman while her phone was transmitting. It was in the newspapers, it was evidence. Is it juris-prudence? Then amazon has no choice but to disprove it is evidence to solve the case, and any privacy gets broken by that need ipso facto.

    It is how Africans and schizophrenics act and react. If you read it, you know, then they will keep hearing of the same thing because others remember it, and you are remembering it, then they are hearing it off you. To their eyes you are like a criminal for knowing of it and will treat you thus at the slightest hint that you may know of what they no longer want to hear off their voices or in real life. The amendment is precisely fighting such behaviour because otherwise we fall into dogmatic fundamentalisms, even if in practice people DO act that way and Africans and Orientals and schizophrenics do enforce such assumption and mechanic. First line experience about it.

  4. Re:Why is Amazon/Alexa even saving recordings? on Amazon Argues That Alexa Is Protected By the First Amendment in a Murder Trial (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Naw, all these people are HYSTERIC when it comes to use technology to prove such or such is a criminal because it was caught in the act and unambiguously identified by the recordings. I know; cameras are deterrence, but when it comes to USE them to solve a crime, everybody act as if they were non existent and are probably unconnected, besides. It is a belief. People here simply do not want to catch thieves caught by camera, nor have any other kind of irrefutable evidence of the act. The rest is just blah blah blah. And I am not assuming the recording holder wants to extort... they simply have a hidden argument and belief and these discussions will not bring it out but only hide the fact.

  5. Re:Do we need more evidence... on Social Media Are Driving Americans Insane (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    What s with White Supremacists? Not being the color of your own excrement is optimal. That is a technical statement. The term White Supremacist was not coined by White Supremacists but by people who believe Equality in X means Equality in U. Then they go beat white looking people like we are supposed to be around beating Afros the way Afros beat other people, including their own. It is in the news. We are not that specific regarding skin tones, because the best place a distinction can be placed, regarding excrement, is already well decided beforehand and null confusions. That is optimal. I am sure their manifesto, if they have one, was concocted under Afro pressures and so is reflecting them, not people like me who do not even question it out of sheer biological obviousness, and thus can be abused by the discourse and the anti-discourse. Imagine if we had to precisely match skin color to copulate and not just be there clean and ready? It is pathetic, the argument was settled during the past six/three centuries, de facto. WS imply we are losing, so we have to assert our position before a stronger winner non white party! If you see the story of Occident as a race (like in speed), you are only calling Cannibal and the Elephants on Rome again. It is the past Administration that made you feel like you were in Central America or the UN, not in the USA.

    Space travel IS impossible for HU-MANS. But very little prevents the existence of very long lived, slow and sentient beings for whom this discussion is just nuts. Maybe we can date when such a species must have developed in the story of the universe making assumptions as to their information capabilities, operation modes, frequencies, etc., to make space travel like a walk in the countryside. So we jus have to extend our lives and make our brains slower to assimilate any speed we can produce physically to make this worth the while, sic.

    It is an energy endodynamic, once started it does not exhaust but is transmitted from entity to entity in a continuous. Call it the Spark of Life, I do. So to start life we have to set the framework for it then start the energetic process and its transmission. It is by sustaining the process from entity into next entity that Entropy is defeated, and it also accounts for Evolution as a mechanism to defeat Entropy, though by no means the only one. One laboratory that I know of is already on the path, though probably they will have to be more creative (sic) to achieve it...

  17. How come TWO launches 23 billions? Think Columbus. on NASA Is Studying A Manned Trip Around The Moon On A $23 Billion Rocket (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Think Columbus exploring American on equivalently sized costs, Europe would still be wondering if it is a new Continent or India what Columbus reached! Oops! This can be calculated quite well having the time and resources to make a meaningful comparison, but you get the idea it is how it feels. We ARE used to have antigravity drives and wormholes taking us several parsecs away to colonize a new system before the Quacko Empire does, in videogames... Here in Real Life we have to get comfort from the idea we are launching satellites galore and that is all, anything more exciting is decades and billions away! It also looks that at comparative costs going satellital would have us still in academia experiment rather than commercial application levels. Not that it is a novel thing... space is now pretty well assimilated and most basic problems solved. I would expect much better leverage for 23 billions, but maybe NASA still does not get the idea, industrial is the way to go, mass production, in series, etc. Sure you do get the idea we must have much more expertise and know how than artisanal by now...

    Very likely the Arab or Hindu neighbour wanted to corroborate his neighbours were the voices he was *hearing* in his head, by recording them non stop then go and spit it in their faces and tell other people he had found them. Should the situation be the inverse, I would think the Scot neighbours were recording non stop to corroborate their Arab or Hindu neighbour was the presence they were feeling was visiting their place when they were not present and scaring the cat or castrating the chipmunks or taking a peek or copy at their computer files. See, the Arab or Hindu should have had a very good reason to take video of his neighbours and demand even bigger damages than his neighbours had the right to demand. The judge must have seen this very clearly and conceded. The situation is asymmetrical and typical. I would have been harder and jailed the Arab or Hindu for attempted robbery and burglary, and even have asked for his natural religious laws to be applied to him. It does not seem to be much in damages to protect yourself from an obsessive Hindu clamped on hearing what you think. Wool-ley is the Mexican-o slang pronunciation for money, so as narrative characters delivering an allegory their meaning is Monied.
