I understand what you're saying, it just doesn't apply. Look, people put signs in their yards. They facebook the SHIT out of their political feelings. They go to political rallies waving flags of their party. They put bumper stickers on their vehicles...
Don't you think that if people were going to go around breaking knees (this is the most famous, Hollywood-induced, stereotyped fear when it comes to anti-secret voting) they'd be able to do it based on all of that?
Another scenario: The bad guys go to campaign rallies taking pictures and jotting down names. They find out where people work and live. Then afterwards, they can go house to house tying up their victims before voting day so that they can't vote. Muwahaha...!!!
But they don't do that. Because these people that are shooting daughters in the knees don't exist. And if they do, secret voting isn't stopping them.
It's completely everyone's business, as it affects the outcome of elections. Currently there's no way at all to confirm results of any elections. Currently, the issues that you bring up aren't solved with secret voting.
I don't have to deal with that, but I never put signs out in my front yard, or join a campaign. Maybe you should ask those folks how they deal with it.
The only way we can achieve secure voting is to get rid of this stupid notion that voting has to be done in secrecy. Once we do away with that, we could all literally watch our vote get counted. But as it stands, the very nature of secrecy leads to insecurity.
You're probably correct. I guess I was thinking that anyone that can afford to spend $450K on their kid's social scene, would have already been a member of that social scene.
For people with kids for example, would you rather them watch TV to get some quiet time, or have conversations with a personable all-knowing nanny?
Either I don't understand that question, or you and I have a very different understanding of 'quiet time'.
I'm married myself, but I realize something like that is not possible for everyone, and I for one will not judge those who find relationships elsewhere. Everyone seeks comfort and you can see a future where for some it might be personal assistants deliver some measure of that.
If people have issues with things like developing relationships and feelings for people, why would they be better at it with robots? I feel like if someone that has issues connecting with people, tries to subvert that process into a relationship with AI, they'll find themselves deeper down that rabbit-hole. The key there being "Artificial" in the term, "Artificial Intelligence". It's important to remember that AI is programmed by programmers (people that aren't very good at connecting with people).
Thanks for the info, I didn't RTFM, because "rich people spending their money in illegal or immoral ways" isn't news to me. However, I do find it odd that these people would pay $450K to get their kid into a school. Give me $450K and I'll start my own business.
Yep, the internet is becoming quite a commercial. Maybe you haven't tried out Firefox's adblockers. They work very well. Loading pages can be slow as hell, but they render without any ads, which is really nice.
If you are unconscious, your phone can be pointed at your face, or your finger can be used, and the phone is unlocked.
No, I swear by the password when it comes to security. I can't think a way that a password can be stolen, provided I never tell anyone, and no key loggers are installed on the device.
LASIK currently takes about 10 minutes per eye. If a doctor did this 24/7, it'd take 13 years to log 15K procedures. This also means that this doctor would do 72 procedures per day.
But most doctors only work 12 hours a day. That means it'd take 26 years to log that many procedures. This would only be a mere 36 procedures per day.
The reason that legal documents are so long is due to the fact that they have to hold up in court. Turns out, defining ideas by wrapping them into words doesn't mean that everyone will understand the wording in a way that correctly produces the same idea in the reader, as the writer. When it comes to writing laws, they have to be written in a way that is completely and unmistakably understandable. The problem isn't the looong wording in legal documents, it's that there's a shortage of people that are willing to read, and absorb the true meaning.
Which was the point that the insurance company was trying to make.
There's a saying that goes something like, "Beauty is a curse for women, in the same way that money is a curse for men." The lesson there is to love yourself for what you really are, and not for some temporary quality.
When we're young, we don't consider so many things, and in not doing so, we enjoy the freedom that comes with not caring. As we get older, we generally feel the weight of the world, and it generally causes people to feel depressed, just waiting to die. But when this isn't the case, it's because the person usually spent their early years considering more things than average people do, and when they get older, they've worked out methods to stay in touch with the part of them that doesn't change. Being in touch with the part of yourself that doesn't change produces wisdom.
Ahh, internationally speaking, that makes much more sense (and I feel silly for not thinking about that before). Cheers for keeping your folks as close as you can!

If there are people that would do this, why don't those people simply go to campaign rallies and threaten daughters there?

How is this a meaningful thing to bring to the conversation? I mean, people could do that same thing now. How does voting in secrecy fix that?

Yeah man Walmart and Costco, too. Only shop at Dollar General and gas stations.

I was thinking like you, but he didn't say that he uninstalled it. He said that he de-installed it. I assume he chose that word carefully.
I think that there are no browsers out there that one can pay for, and have it not spy on you. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
When they get to the point they can emulate a relationship and we can develop feelings for them... then you might have something.
I thought that's what people are for.
Awesome, I'm definitely going to check that out. Thanks!

It's so weird that we all successfully exchanged useful technical information on slashdot, and in 2019! Cheers!
Maybe now one of you guys can assist me with finding anyone that sells Microsoft Storage Server 2019 licenses.
That's very useful, thanks! Another good thing to know:

You're exactly correct. And in a world where everything "technology" is moving to an "online only" model, we're fuct.
This social media thing certainly didn't turn out to be a shit-show or anything.

No you misunderstood. You could allow them to all merge, so long as you remove their ability to create the licensing situation that currently exists.
Remove MS licensing totally, and maybe, MAYBE, I won't be so dumb. But we all have a loong way to go there.
