So what? Why should he be better than the rest of us because he's famous? How many of us could work the number of hours Elon Musk works without getting a bit smart when openly insulted?
Fuck everything, we're doing five pluses. If two pluses is good, and three pluses better, obviously five pluses would make it the best fucking language that ever existed. Comprende?
Agreed, these new "intelligent" software-based systems aren't perfect, yet they are still very powerful tools. I'm not concerned that innocent people might be flagged & scrutinized. That's what the human operator is for: to screen "possibles" produced by the computer, & separate the true criminals from the innocent people talking about metal bands & fantasy games. In short, there's nothing wrong with the authorities using facial recognition, so long as our agencies continue to prosecute the guilty. Have I ever been stopped & questioned by police when I was completely innocent? Yes, I have. They asked their questions, established I was the wrong person, & I went on about my business. Freaking out & getting combative in such a situation can take it from completely harmless to an actual crime in no time.
I'm sure you're both kind & intelligent, AmiMojo, yet the contradiction in your thinking is plain to see. You claim that the flaws others have highlighted in your ideology is a strawman, when, in truth, they are simply stating the flaws in your reasoning.
Once a female co-worker asked me (a software developer) to be an erotic dancer at her friend's bachelorette party. Had I suggested this to a woman developer, I'd have been fired, castrated, and slow-roasted on a spit.
Bullshit. Bikes typically go faster than 10mph. I typically go ~20mph. And cars aren't usually going 45mph in city areas where cyclists ride. They're usually going ~25-35. Just be cautious with cyclists. They're people too. Sure, some dumb cyclists piss us off, but let's be honest: there's way more dumb motorists out there.
Meant to rate this insightful, but misclicked. Damn coffee isn't working. Anyway, I grew up in the hood too. I had the same schooling as countless criminals. What was different was my desire to be a good person.
You may not think so, but they do. Hell, even the ultra-PC "liberated" modern-feminist women here in the SF Bay Area do. They love to complain about it, but when it stops, they realize how much they miss it. Case in point:
Our group (men and women) went to Burning Man to form a feminist camp primarily for women. It even had a tent for women only, (especially women on their period,) no men allowed. Moreover, men were directed to never come on to the women, never give compliments about physical appearance, and to strongly avoid even looking at women's bodies.
The men, wanting to prove themselves honorable and respectful, agreed. They followed all the directives the women had put before them. They maintained eye contact with the ladies, or looked up at the sky. Everyone shared in the work, with the men pitching in to help with cooking and cleaning, (though the men still handled most of the construction and mechanical work as well.) It truly was a "safe space" for women.
There was only one problem: The women hated it. Within four days, the women revolted against themselves, demanding that the men resume looking at them, noticing them, admiring them, complimenting them, and chatting them up. Actually, in the end, it made for a lot of sexual tension being released in the final weekend.
How about the earlier story referenced in this one, where Susan Fowler received and awkward come-on by her manager, and was not satisfied with merely a "stern warning". What does she expect? That he be fired merely for asking if she's interested in a sexual relationship?

What makes you think the wealthy would see any need, once full automation is achieved, to destroy to working class? Let's dig a bit deeper.

OTOH, if Rhodium's estimates continue along their current pace of revision, the US will easily fulfill it's Paris climate obligations by 2025.

I rode a maglev train in Yokohama way back in 1989 at the Minato Mirai Expo. Old technology.

-just as governments have a right to fight back against terrorism, wouldn't you say? Followers of a violent religion should be monitored.
Do shut up. Christ, virtue-signalling over where one chooses to shop? Seriously? Go fuck yourself.
they should start talking about its cause... Hint: it has just the tiniest bit to do with the West's foreign policy.
The whiny, teenage guilt is strong with this one.

Good to know! Since I'm always right, I demand that anybody who opposes me is denied the rights that I enjoy. Done!
Funny, I crashed into a bus with my bicycle once..
world.population.forEach(function(being) { // Kill all humans.
if ( typeof being === human ) kill(being);
});
...was stabbing a pretty, young school teacher five times in the heart! What progress!

Oftentimes, the customer is unable to articulate what they want, and they're pissed when they don't get it.
That makes me feel better, having talked about this for years, typically receiving snickers and rolled eyes in response.
Mine too. She believes Siri hates her. :P
