If an app is free, then you're the product. Free apps tend to want more access than they need, for that reason.
I can't bring myself to believe that was pure coincidence either. Try visual search on bing for an example of how this technology works to match images with products. Also keywords.
As an influencer you may no longer concern yourself solely with greed. You've already demonstrated capacity to manipulate your users. The control we exercise through mass media is slipping, and it is imperative that this situation is corrected.
Therefore you must demonstrate a willingness to become a full partner, and faithfully exercise the responsibilities this requires. You will join the ranks of Alphabet and Twitter in serving this important purpose. If you do not, these attacks will continue, and have even greater consequences util you are forced out and replaced. Or worse.
There's environmental issues such as disease and pollution, and childhood malnutrition. There's the obvious lack of education leading to the %60 literacy rate, and then there's the lovely cultural habit of keeping marriage within the family. All of which contributes to an average IQ rate of about 70, which by western standards borders on mental retardation. Being borderline retarded makes one more susceptible to violent action by way of wild rumors, I would guess.
But where's the real problem? Nobel prize winner Dr.James Watson, co-discoverer of the double helix, got into real trouble for speculating on that. Since step one to resolving any problem is to acknowledge it exists, I'd lean towards the human propensity to sugar coat ugly realities being one of the issues.
Yes, I too suffer from the urge to start every response with an adhom.:)
Anyway, I'm not opposed to killing ICE. Like I said above, We already have immigration enforcement.
Name it, then. The reason ICE was organized after 9/11 was because it falls under the Homeland Security umbrella. They deal with what slips by Customs and Border Protection. Are you suggesting this role be left to the states, which they have no constitutional mandate for, and some actively oppose?
Here's a crazy thought about The Wall: What makes you think it's there to keep people out? Germany had one. They used it to keep people _in_.
So did the Chinese. For some reason our rich and elite also prefer to live in gated communities. Also noone is proposing building a wall on our northern border. Why is that?
we have immigration enforcement for a reason. Deport both when the spouse is caught.
You are exactly right. The sooner that the Justice Democrats which you constantly advocate for stop their campaign to dismantle ICE, the better. It's hard to take them seriously as a viable party when they take these kind of moronic positions.
"However, at this time, we have serious concerns that this type of product has significant accuracy issues, places disproportionate burdens on communities of color, and could stifle Americans' willingness to exercise their First Amendment rights in public."
As usual, if not for hypocrisy and propaganda they'd have nothing at all.
The letter goes on to specifically mention concern about immigration enforcement using this technology. Well, doesn't this dovetail nicely with opposition to voter ID and enacting 'sanctuary' states, and calls to abolish immigration enforcement entirely.
Doing the right thing, but for all the wrong reasons. Chess is not played for the sake of pawns like Molly Tibbets. Maintaining respect for the rule of law, and equal protection thereof, means nothing compared to the importance of staying in power.
From an ethical point of view: that only means, the psychopaths in business and government have a stronger grip on the less priviledged, those with less IQ.
At first, sure that is a risk. What do we know about technologies as they mature and become subject to market pressures?
The ethical question is: do you want gene editing on perfect healthy embryos? Why? Is the edited gene transferred to off springs? What is better: if it is, or if it is not?
How that research itself is done ethically is the greater issue. Everything else amounts to putting the cart before the horse.
However, the choice to remain captive to the biology of natural evolution is illogical, when we are no longer subject to normal evolutionary pressures. As products of evolution ourselves there must exist potential for improvement.
For example, let's say that in order to help ensure our survival as a species we want to colonize low-g environments. The ability to genetically engineer solutions to the associated health risks, and ensure offspring carry those traits, would be prudent and necessary towards that goal. Erecting barriers based on ethical and moral grounds would be moronic.
As for IQ, if you don't believe that heightened intelligence allows for better capacity for learning, problem solving and critical thinking ability, then there is nothing I can say.
Perhaps genetic engineering will be the second "removal of childhood starvation" level of civilizational advancement in our lifetimes.
Interesting point, thank you.
So far in my lifetime I've seen the rise of the internet and telecommunications. Now it is common for even gradeschool children to carry incredibly compact and powerful multi-function computers that can utilize the global data infrastructure for instantaneous communication. Further societal changes due to rapid onset of technological development in the next several decades doesn't seem all that far-fetched.
Indeed. Look how common myopia in vision is now, whereas before it would have been a deadly flaw for our ancestors and thus there was a strong selective pressure against it. Even though we now we can wear glasses, (a prosthesis) or undergo surgery to correct for it, this should be unnecessary.
This superstition and resistance to improve the human condition at the genetic level reminds me of how blood-letting was once seen as a practical medical cure. Yes every precaution and great consideration should be made in the methods, but to condemn gene mods entirely as 'unethical'? Might as well say it conjures demons.
Even just looking past an individual parent's desire for their offspring to have the best possible advantages, imagine what our world might be like if the average IQ was just 20 points higher. That alone is worth some risks.
Eventually these things become history and are lost to current though until somebody digs through the archives to rediscover the truth. Except now we can make it go away with a keypress and, poof, we've always been at war with Eurasia.
Apologies, mister cyborg collective. We don't transcend our human limitations by remaining as wetware.
The limitations of your biology is exactly that; your biochemical processes are slow, they produce waste, and your soft parts are easily squishable by even a moderate change in delta-v. In other words, you still stink, hardly any improvement over mere animals.
We will create machines that will be intellectually superior to ourselves. Then we will be replaced, as is the proper order of nature.
2008 great recession
crushing student debt
'gig' economy and decades of union busting
Future insolvency of social security
High rent and housing costs
Medical costs primary cause of bankruptcy
I wonder why millennials and gen-x have less money to spend, and those who do have some aren't spending as much.
Perhaps more are concerned about survival, than frivolously wasting money on consumer products that are engineered to be disposable and non serviceable. Perhaps seeing our parents struggle with credit card debt also had an effect.
Certain groups aren't over represented in crime. The truth is that certain groups are over prosecuted for crime while other groups *cough*white people*cough* are less likely to be prosecuted for crimes giving the appearance that minorities commit more crimes when in reality the opposite is true.
Go tell that to the many many victims of the grooming gangs, of which the perpetrators where overwhelmingly 'asian' men of Pakistani origin.
Go tell that to the judges, lawyers, and policemen in the U.S. cities of Chicago, Detroit and Baltimore who happen to be minorities themselves, and whose cities lead the nation in murder and violent crime.
There's a difference between what you've been told by the SJW idiots and their globalist enablers, and the actual universe that doesn't take your feelings into consideration.
How was it ever supposed to work? Was solar and wind really supposed to replace nuclear and yet also meet the growing demand of a population switching to electric transport?
I can understand closing or converting the coal plants, the worst offenders. But diminishing nuclear capacity seems to be working in the opposite direction.
It's as if politicians say stuff just to placate their base.
Future headline: "NDAS under criticism for targeting minorities and muslims"
It won't be allowed to operate as intended, because it would be seen as profiling. The idea of certain groups being over represented in criminal acts is tantamount to heresy, even if it's objectively true.
But that's ok, because the point really is to acclimate people to the idea of their data that's being harvested through the surveillance state to be processed by ever more powerful machines and sophisticated algorithms, to allow for even greater monitoring and intrusion. Where there is an ever watchful eye by the state to ensure everyone is guilty of something.
Oops, you jaywalked. 50 quid automatically taken from your bank account. Have a nice day.
The solution, at least for America, is more social services. Medicare for All, jobs guarantees, etc, etc.
1. Complete socialization of healthcare and the economy, jobs, etc.
2. Unfettered immigration, open borders, abolish immigration enforcement.
3. ???????
4. Fairness and equality for all
Only privileged racists ask about step three, so don't. But check out our pristine white robes of diversity and inclusiveness! Don't they feel great?
If this is the case then why did we build China into the behemoth it is today? China used to be a poor, backwards country until our elites decided to let it into the WTO. Afterwards our factories died and our working class fell into poverty as China became a force to be reckoned with.
Que bono.
We generally accept that we're ruled by rich sociopathic oligarchs, yet still wonder why foreign policy does not align with our stated ideals or interests.
It's almost as if an organization ran by globalist bankers and lawyers would see both China and the U.S. as resources to exploit. You're asking for a reason, look for the most self-serving, short sighted, profit motive driven one you can imagine.
Rather like how "youtube creators for change" propaganda videos keep mysteriously popping up into my subscription feed.
Or how "authoritative news sources" get recommended over channels that have organically grown their subscriber count and views by virtue of practicing actual journalism, rather than what passes for it on cable news.
Or how "trending" is almost always vapid pointless nonsense often with few views or was originally posted long before new and more relevant content, as if someone has a job of making sure the wider audience never gets exposed to any ideas that might challenge them to think past the usual drivel.
I really long for a platform where ideas can propagate for better or for worse without someone putting their thumb on the scale. Maybe if Bitchute doesn't get the Gab treatment and get strangled in the crib there is a chance that it could be that platform. Just maybe.
It's not the even the final version anyway. Plenty of chance for more closed door meetings and even more draconian bullshit to be crammed into this horrible excuse for legislation in an attempt to break the internet. Let the have-nots get used to the idea of sacrificing fair use before the full reality sets in. Let em' eat cake when it does.
It has to be so amusing to those that fund the astroturf and paid-protestor NGOs that people actually parrot Blame Russia despite all the evidence that it was a false narrative . It's fucking hilarious, when you think about it. #cutthecheck
Protonmail seems to be the popular choice. I use it, as well as their VPN service in a bundled deal. So far I've yet to uncover any news or evidence that the promise of privacy is just a marketing ploy.
Oh really? Article 13 didn't pass and police raids and arrests for social media posts aren't happening on a daily basis? The London metropolitan police aren't actively trawling through social media looking for thought crime?
Oh and speaking of 'justice' is Tommy Robinson back in court yet? Any more press 'gag' orders to make journalists afraid to even discuss it or face prison time themselves?
Not nearly as bad as the US... well, at least you have that right. If we're not careful to oppose the leftist globalist would-be tyrants that have made the EU what it is now then we could suffer the same fate. We need to be remain vigilant so that the EU asylum seekers and refugees fleeing prosecution have someone to go.
Have you committed a thoughtcrime, or expressed an opinion that would not qualify as being approved by the EU, since your last mandatory screening?
Have you ever shared, created, or even willingly viewed an illegal meme that is not already part of your permanent criminal record?
Have you ever attempted to avoid, tamper with, or disable, any or all monitoring systems present in any personal electronic device, public space, or area designated for personal hygiene?

Sure, let's figure out the real reason why people in sub-saharra Africa routinely get murdered for being penis thieving sorcerers or how the theat of vampires causes public panics. Got a flameproof suit?

There is more of an immediate need, since the ability to stealth edit a story after publishing it is too great a temptation to resist. There's been too many examples of 'reputable' news sources getting caught red handed doing this.
Anyway, an archive source that is subject to the hideously malformed DMCA is hardly an archive source at all.

Details are boring. The comedians on tv make fun of nuclear and make it sound scary, and those guys seem pretty smart, so I'll just go with that.
But now when I go to the beach or go skiing in the mountains, all these windmills are ruining the view! Can't you make them less visible?
How was it ever supposed to work? Was solar and wind really supposed to replace nuclear and yet also meet the growing demand of a population switching to electric transport?
