  1. That's apparently considered extortion? on Alleged Owners of Mugshots.com Have Been Arrested For Extortion (lawandcrime.com) · · Score: 1

    What is with the editorializing "That's apparently considered extortion." in the summary?

    Yeah, that actually is extortion.

  2. Ok, I suppose its better than 9/10 stories about bitcoin.

    Its toe the line, not tow. The police are not in a disabled boat that needs to be towed back to shore.

    Though this might solve a few problems if they were.

    What's wrong with being disrespectful?

    You should have said "What's wrong with being disrespectful, you warthog faced buffoon?"

    I'll bite. Marx's plan was that humans can cooperate for the benefit of everyone. A very game theory idea, and on the surface it seems great as long as assholes don't mess it up. Golden rule is the best rule. And, hey, capitalism is kind of crap when you look at it, lots of wealth imbalance.

    However, "benefit of everyone" is somewhat subjective when it comes down to the details. The only way to get everyone on board is to have a totalitarian state forcing everyone to do exactly what they say. The people in power get to say "see, everyone is working for the benefit of all", the people at the bottom may have different ideas. Not "benefit of everyone" as much as "benefit of everyone we don't kill in our revolution."

    When you look at it that way, well regulated capitalism seems pretty reasonable.

    Except now the people giving the orders will not be so careful who the order to be bombs. "Google will tell us if it's not a valid target, so send it everywhere."

    Better yet, now when a bunch of civillians get killed, it's Google's fault, not the military's.

    Whereas snowflakes like you are having a hissy fit over people not wanting to work for the government.

    And now you understand the joke that is communism. It is amusing that communists and marxists in the west forget about the "expected to work themselves to death for he glorious party" bit of communism.

    If safety is NASA's top priority, then they will never launch another person again. As that is, of course, the safest option.

  19. Re:Those systems have a 99% accuracy on Ticketmaster Hopes To Speed Up Event Access By Scanning Your Face (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Correct, this is more about eliminating ticket scanning employees than saving event-goers time.

    Except now when the system fucks up there will be one beleaguered ticket checker stuck with an impossibly long line, instead of plenty of other people there to check tickets for you.

  20. How can anyone be surprised that a company with full access to someone's email misuses the information they receive.

    Why is anyone still using the service after they got caught lying?
