It really doesn't matter what their reasons are, you just can't have cameras in a rental property or hotel room. People walk around nude, have sex, etc...
Damn! On my couch? The sheets and blankets I put on the bed at least preserve the feasibility of sterile rental coitus.
Insurance is to cover unaffordable expenses such as legal liability. Only an idiot would buy insurance for kitchen utensils or a TV from Costco.
Yup. Generally, insurance is something you are required to pay to have at home and, doubly so, in business. Still, sometimes it costs X to have the insurance if you never use it, and X+Y if you ever file a claim.
For small(ish) claims that you can afford to just write a check to cover, don't call and initiate a claim. Save your insurance for catastrophic incidents you can't pay yourself out of.
Facebook can afford the team go implement their Censorship Rules, and Google already has a team to work with China's./. can't afford similar.
Pardon me sir, but you're way out of line. The Slashdot budget for for policing and censorship is several tens of dollars, which the editors have been known to repurpose as delivery food.
Downside is you have to let the "GNAA" & "MooMoo I'm a cow" posters soil the thread. Upside is you get a lot of truthy, insightful observations.
The governors' pattern for passing rights-restricting legislation all too typically begins with seemingly reasonable restrictions on the more agreeably vile infractions.
It's for the children! or Some of them are rapists!
Even: But they're supporting terrorism...Just like the Colonies' sympathizers in America's revolutionary war with the English.
Short of doing away with free speech on the internet, policing posts on Unlilliputian social platforms capable of real-time streaming is a task awaiting true Artificial Intelligence... whose gossamer arrival seems as fleeting as human intelligence, or, the arrival of the Great Pumpkin.
According to Polybius, who has the most fully developed version of the cycle, it rotates through the three basic forms of government, democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy and the three degenerate forms of each of these governments ochlocracy, oligarchy, and tyranny.
Social Media is simply not a part of my existence, unless you broadly include Slashdot... though I suspect that might qualify as antisocial media.
But. Asking the social media sites to duplicate the work the police are already doing on the internet interdicting terrorism, child exploitation, violence, and illegal weapons trafficking is absurd. The internet, and in particular social media, is the greatest thing to happen to law enforcement in a generation... the idiots catch themselves.
even though we have no proof, i think it's becoming clear there is something to all this (where there is smoke, there is fire).
but people in the know, don't want to share what they know.
Even, and perhaps, especially, with the excessive proliferation of information in the present day, the illusory truth effect is worth consideration.
YOU ONLY USE 10 percent of your brain. Eating carrots improves your eyesight. Vitamin C cures the common cold. Crime in the United States is at an all-time high.
None of those things are true.
But the facts don't actually matter: People repeat them so often that you believe them. Welcome to the “illusory truth effect,” a glitch in the human psyche that equates repetition with truth.
Nasa tracks space debris so they can steer clear of it; largest they can currently track is 4cm diameter objects.
Interesting post, but I think you meant smallest they can currently track is 4cm diameter objects. Your results may vary depending on who is estimating the numbers, but there are conservatively tens of thousands of objects larger than 10cm, hundreds of thousands between 1-10cm, and 100 million+ objects
Regarding India, they just want a seat at the table when the power players discuss satellite defense and weaponry. This is a classic tragedy of the commons.
I think the real problem here is we can't even decide which speech should be protected, and which should be banned. I mean, most of us agree some things are so heinous we should not speak about them/promote them.. but even then, the people who want to espouse those ideas a majority might find completely unacceptable will scream free speech if we try to do anything about it.
Three Quick Rules: Err on the side of the speech should be free even if someone finds it hateful. Restrict only as a last resort. Recognize that no Bill of Rights Amendment assured you the right not to be offended.
Of course, he realizes that though the government enjoys reaping the fruits of surveillance that social media provides, they would have reason to support the status quo... where they're not involved in either budgeting it or being blamed when it doesn't go well.
Perhaps he's less dimwitted than we originally suspected, and he's busy reminding the government the rather gratuitous service he provides.
Maybe he should check from the original Facebook authors he stole the code from maybe they have ideas he cant seem to come up with.
Had they not been holding a justifiable grudge against their Machiavellian business partner, I'm pretty sure The Monozygotic Rowers would've likely recommended converting a few of his 2013 $billions into the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme.
In April 2013, the Winklevoss twins together held $11 million in bitcoin priced at $120 a coin. That holding grew to be worth more than $1 billion in December 2017 as the price of one coin surpassed $11,700.
I thought the idea was that information wants to be free, and we shouldn't restrict content (unless it's clearly illegal, like child porn). Even if it's content you don't agree with...
The problem seems to be that folks have become reluctant to protect that most important free speech; the one you disagree with.
I'm wondering if you meant to type what you typed there. You can always create a hypothetical where the police didn't know not something.
Let's hope that if they ever ring your doorbell they know that you are not holding an atom bomb detonator disguised as a TV remote. Because by your own "logic" if they aren't sure they should shoot you just in case.
Sometimes I have Posting Tourette's, where I can't help but represent an alternative, underrepresented, opinion.
if you consider the LEOs had none of the foregone knowledge thaat they were not at a house where a murder had already been committed, the police reaction is much more understandable
Nope, an unarmed man stood in bright lights on his own porch was murdered. I don't understand why the policeman even fucking shot him, let alone got away with that murder.
As a civilized society, we are somewhat reluctant to recognize the most uncivilized elements of humankind must be dealt with by, hopefully, someone other than ourselves. I neither enjoy nor envy the job of law enforcement... I am merely grateful the task of dealing with the inevitable unpleasantness that is humankind does not fall to me and a few neighbors.
Deity knows, the outcome of this standoff was less than desirable, yet, if you consider the LEOs had none of the foregone knowledge thaat they were not at a house where a murder had already been committed, the police reaction is much more understandable.
Sigh. I find myself in the rather unenviable position of defending the actions of the often overzealous police, but I can empathize with the position they found themselves in.
There are far bigger problems you schmuck. And I bet you drive a gasoline vehicle, use electricity generated by fossil fuels, throw out paper, aluminum and plastic, and probably don't recycle anything else.
Fuck off hypocrite.
Right there, another prime example of the wasteful, western, Republicrat lifestyle: why does hypocrit even need that fucking silent e?
Yep, a relative few folks are downloading your intellectual material via Torrent, who wouldn't otherwise actually purchase your product, and a thousand unregulated Chinese companies are reproducing copies of your life's work as fast as the paying market demands.
...and do so in a manner that is "accessible and understandable to users."
Yes, quite unlike this concise summary, that's used up all my daily attention points reservoir. I typically skip linking to tfa to save time (and face: This Is Slashdot!)
But. FD. I cheat and rtfs once in a while... Cheezus. I'd rather face the embarrassment of fully confirmed ignorance than wade through this.
That is an absolutely moronic idea. Ethics is not something that can be mathematically defined. Friggin' define "equivalent harm" mathematically.
An eye for an eye, 2.25 fingers for a thumb, one leg > one arm... you can plug in values you believe are accurate and just, and then tweak the system after enough use cases occur that imply causation.
Some systemic value for ethical conduct towards humans must be ingrained in the artificial intelligence we cede decision-making to, or two clowns like me and you won't be around to have this discussion, before long.

Try and remember, grammar and the associated troublesome punctuation, are the potential difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.

It could be as simple as "I live in a first world nation!" and my worst day never includes "Find food to feed my family for today" on the to-do list.
It could be as complex as "I have enough food to get two of my three kids through the winter". Imagine having to bright-side that bit of luck.
Homeowners probably read this article or any number of equally disturbing disaster rentals.
Googling "AirBnB renters trash house" gets similar results as typing in "Florida Man" and a random date.

There's a strong case for every government eventually doing so.
