The thing to bear in mind here is that Cambridge Analytica managed to obtain only a relatively small percentage of information about Facebook Users. The information it managed to obtain was either information voluntarily provided by users in response to a survey, or publicly-visible information carried by "friends" of the relatively small number of users who took their survey.
and Friends of Friends... and? The numbers I heard were 53 people took the survey in Australia, and exposed the data of more than 300,000 individuals.
If I don't want Google to read my email I'll encrypt it, meanwhile I mostly want them to read it so they can do my calendaring for me... If they can get some deep AI insight from the rest of the spam and shipping receipts in there, good luck to them.
The entire point of "per 100,000 drivers" is to normalize the data so you're not comparing the raw numbers but the rate of fatal accidents in each population....
Yeah, as I said later (but before this post) the state seizing property and it going into general funds is a LOT different to Johnny Law seizing whatever he likes for no reason and it going DIRECTLY into his local funding.
You need to find a better counter-example than "growing a commercial quantity of cannabis for personal use". While I think it should be legal, that doesn't mean this is anything like the extensively documented abuse of power that is happening for personal enrichment in the US.
If the money went into "general revenue" with no earmarking, it/might/ be reasonable for cases where people can't explain how they got the money. But neither of those clauses are required currently.
It's hysterical though to watch Americans talk about freedom while having civil forfeiture laws that lets cops steal money and put it literally in their own pockets as wages.
Suitcase? $40k is a 2 inch stack, you'd keep that in your front jeans pocket where it's hard to steal, why would you carry it around in something a bag snatcher might go for?
Bank cheques are $10, and don't require a call to the bank to confirm, and hell they probably wouldn't. (source worked in one for 8 years; never got that call, never would have guaranteed anything over the phone since they have to be presented to be honoured.)
Last car I bought from a dealer for that kinda money I just made a direct bank transfer anyway, cost nothing and was faster.
They certainly can, Virtual PAs have been a thing for a long time now. The guy that wrote "The 4-Hour Work Week" made a small fortune convincing a lot of idiots that you could delegate most of a real job to them.
Just "this is Alexa" might be confusing, humans can be called Alexa. All these calls should start with *KLAXON* WARNING, the following voice is simulated, please listen after the beep *BEEP*
Additionally, we should have those guys walking in front of cars waving red flags/lanterns again, horseless carriages are just too creepy. Oh and the electric ones should have to play a tape of horse hooves loudly.
3. More excuses to avoid interactions with other human beings.
4. Less opportunities for people to develop their interpersonal skills/be properly socialized.
Maybe it's just introversion, but avoiding interactions with random other human beings is a massive benefit to this tech.
And the reason is the "other human beings" lack interpersonal skills (like empathy and courtesy) and particularly the children in starter jobs that tend to answer the phones, no amount of forcing me to interact with assholes is going to make me dread it less.
EQ was not stale, EQ was difficult and rewarded perseverance and the ability to interact with other humans in a respectful manner (unless you were Furor, then it rewarded being an asshole)
WoW rewarded turning up and being an asshole, exclusively.
Given there are more asshole children than adults* in the world, WoW was wildly popular.

Stopping child-labour and introducing the 40-hour week was the death knell of western society and impoverished the rich.
Apparently.
Failure to spell homophones correctly will get your resume binned. Or are you pretending people use Siri to write resumes too?

That's some good leverage.
If you have a kink your wife doesn't know about, you're doing it wrong. Also, she's an admin on my calendar...

Maybe I should explain how money is fungible and having this money to pay for "other expenses" allows them to hire more police?
Nah, waste of time.

Sure dickhead, but more English prisoners were sent to the USA than Australia.Besides, I'm a wog, we came from Italy of our own volition.

Fair point, the electric cars should all have flashing lights and a recording of "WARNING! This is a silent car, not a horse!" played at about 90dB

Thankfully past dating, but it's certainly a much different Risk vs Reward situation than "booking a table at short notice".

I was at Green Island 15 years ago, and 2 months ago, the place is a desolate wasteland now compared to the first time.
Hilariously, a good example of why Unicode would be beneficial on Slashdot ("smart" quotes being a bad example) and no one has mentioned it:
The example of the new way of writing Qazaqstan Respyblikasy in the summary is incorrect.
If the trend continues...in a few hundred years
If the trend of hunting the larger animals for meat continues for 300+ years..
OK.
