  1. Re:Unintended consequences on China Unveils World's First Facial Recognition ATM · · Score: 4, Informative

    Letting someone who you trust use your ATM card and PIN is not unusual but (almost always) it is against the agreed rules between you and the card issuer.

    so much of what passes for art these days is degenerate shit.

    I agree - and i think this is happening because we are "forced to respect" every degenerate shit, without the propper criticism (which must be done with respect, but must be real criticism) that seperates shit from art.

  4. Re:Private Profiles on Orange County Public Schools To Monitor Students On Social Media · · Score: 0

    Anyone with a clue makes their profile private such that only friends may see their posts.

    This is a good advise (even better: don't post sensitive/private info... or just don't post!)

    Most children are told explicitly to do this by parents because of creepy stalkers.

    Well, "been told to do" and "actually doing what been told to do" are different things, especially in parents-children cases, but, anyway...

    These clowns are actually receiving/spending tax payer's money to stalk. Illegal on so many levels.

    I think that Orange County Public Schools will just monitor the "social media" for cases where the Orange County Public Schools are mentioned publicly (e.g. posts like: "i am going to kill every student of Orange County Public Schools", "some teacher of Orange County Public Schools are perverts") - i don't find it bad (or illegal) to monitor publicly made posts that concern them (as "Orange County Public Schools", and/or "Orange County Public Schools' students/stuff")

    It would also suck if the internet connection dropped right after a cut but before the bleeding could be stopped. Although I'm sure they have physical staff present in case of emergency.

    They have, and they are not just for "emergency" - they prepare the patient, start the operation (including inserting -and hopefully removing- the laparoscop and the other surgical "tools"), and finish the job. Plus: usually they are those doing the actual operation, with the more expert doctor just observing, making suggestions, and performing *some* "cuts" that the less experienced doctors are not so confident doing.

  25. Re:Sounds like good grounds for an appeal, on Murder Accusations Hang Over Silk Road Boss Ulbricht's Sentencing · · Score: 1

    There are federal sentencing guidelines. There are criteria for things like past offenses, cooperation with the investigation, among other things.

    I take it as a confirmation of what i wrote - i also add the (subjective) convict's personality/character criterias.

    The judge is not bound to strictly follow them, but if the judge just hands out maximum sentences with little explanation, that could be grounds for an appellate court to reduce the sentence.

    That is why a judge does the sentencing, so a human subjective filter exist - keep in mind that (at least in Greece/Europe) a prosecutor can also ask for an appeal if the sentence is too low/minimum without good explanation/reasons.

    Also, I am not a lawyer either.
