Well, you pretty much said it, most people can't be decent people anymore.
That's the thing right; and it's a big fucking problem. No longer can you tell the asshole to stop being an asshole in fear that you may offend them and have a mob of people washing over you calling you intolerant.
How're you going to receive/pass the J if you're holding a fucking phone in your hand anyways?! Everyone's special. Yeah right! Fuck off. Gahh I need coffee...
Who says that's ALL they really collect? Sounds like it'll shut a few people up but overall nothing changes.
Nobody's forcing anyone to use products that collect information on you. Why is everyone so uptight about having their dick pics scanned by "Company X" anyways? If you want to get something somewhere in a safe and secure manner, there are ways to do it; or just don't put extremely sensitive stuff on your daily device of choice.
Sure this post can be read as flame bait but let's be honest here, unless they start using said data to put people in jail over some very questionable Google searches, who fucking cares what they know about you? If *they* REALLY want to know who you are, they'll find out. Otherwise it's just a way for them to cater to their audiences/market their products better. A *competent* criminal in today's world wouldn't dump everything about them in digital format anyways.
I'll worry when they feed it all to an A.I. that spits out something along the lines of "I've concluded person X is a danger to society and should be incarcerated." and we actually treat that as absolute truth by going ahead and doing it. THEN people should flip their shit.
No, this is a case by case thing. Also I'm not 100% sure here but you cannot legally pay someone under minimum wage just because they have the potential to receive tips; as in your example of the restaurant employee.
At least in Canada; and I'll use Tim Horton's as an example; tips provide an incentive to work there versus any other minimum wage job because there's a potential to earn more at the end of the day through tips. There are cases however where the minimum wage was raised high enough where any tips are given directly to the company or outright refused on the spot, instead of being divided equally among employees. (I believe Alberta is like this)
Tips sure as hell are an incentive. What you're describing sounds illegal, but I'm no lawyer. Americans, or any decent human being for that matter, definitely value hard work and great service; I'm not sure where you get the idea that they don't. A few loud-mouthed assholes don't account for the general populous. Your example is also broken, since the guy digging ditches could be making millions if he approaches the problem with a solid business solution. Or were you talking about hand digging a ditch with a shovel? What part of the world do you live in again?
Most fast food joints have people working there who hate their jobs, and it clearly shows in the service you're getting. The only exception to this, at least that I've noticed, is places where tips are generally the norm, so these employees have an incentive to be nice to you, in hopes that you'll leave a better tip.
We're not even talking about restaurants here. Fast food joints != restaurant experiences. You go there 'cause you want food, and you want it now.
They're either too dim to consider using an image of the person as a test against the functionality, or literally had someone with decision making powers shrug off the fact that you could do this.
Both cases equally make me scratch my head in wonder.
So long as I won't be able to fine people who run red lights and drive 30 over the speed limit, I'll let the cops do their own job themselves. If they have something that can tell ME they're in trouble, surely there will be enough of THEM on the way to help that they won't even need ME.
Because we're in some weird hype-mode for Bitcoins where 2-line summaries with no articles indicating Bitcoin's status is the bulk of what we're getting these days. To be fair, they tripled their efforts with the summary on this one...
Can't wait for it to vanish so we can go back to arguing about Trump and climate change./s
You're missing the point. And your analogy is terrible.
You don't ignore toddlers throwing tantrums, you give them love. Leaving kids alone is bad, look it up. I'm fine with comparing Kim to a toddler, but you need to understand millions of lives are in the balance. That's usually not the case when kids go ape shit.
and our meme sets (which we can collectively label "culture") have exactly the same sorts of imperatives, and probably do even more to regulate our behavior and choices than our genes.
So in other words are we going to wait until it flies INTO Japan to do anything or is this all just for show and anyone that matters is in on it? I know this is a complicated political mess but does Japan really need to put up with these Twitter flame wars when they're literally having hostile ICBMs flying over them?
I'm not calling for military action, this just seems overly strange/irresponsible from both sides.
Surely there's something I'm missing out of all this? Surely?!
Slashdot Mirror
Because something just has to go seriously wrong, otherwise how will they make a movie about it?
Chances are it's some shitty pop concert then.
People go to concerts because they like the band.
Music festivals on the other hand... this can go both ways.
Well, you pretty much said it, most people can't be decent people anymore.

Fuck dude, how many hands can you have?
Short for *Popular*
Hence selling as many as possible, otherwise it's not *pop* music, no matter how hard it tries to be.
If the selection doesn't make you happy, there's a plethora of genres out there that you can look into.
Imagine being a part of THIS 1%.
Women. Everywhere.
I'm starting to like this climate change thing.

No, you're delusional.

Really? We can't be a little more intelligent than that?
That people are being nice, regardless of how they greet me.
Worse, how does something like this get past QA?

What's the point of this? Really?
Hanlon's Razor -probably- apples, but I'm not 100% sure of that. Nothing Facebook or Google does surprises me any more.
Certainly apples.
Twits. Because that's the first word that comes into my mind when someone tells me they use Twitter.
My 2 eurocents.
Those are worth like what? $5CND?
Looks like they really shit the bed huh
What you did there, I saw it.
Unrelated, but that's the best sig I've ever read.

We are extremely dissapointed in your behavior.
Please stop it.
