Well, first, if you think that type of thought had gone away or become completely or even largely eliminated from public discourse, they you have led a sheltered life my friend.
There's an old saying that still holds true to a large part in the US..."When does a black man become a n1gg er? About 30 seconds after he leaves the room.
It is largely true that people freely talk that way still despite you thinking it had disappeared.
But one of your main points was you thought that anything but leftist thoughts on race, religion, sexuality had largely been eradicated, is false.
After the black man leaves the room is not "public discourse" any more than what's said at a klan meeting of any size. I'm under no illusion that such views had disappeared from private discourse. On the other hand, when mainstream politicians publicly spew racism and xenophobia, and people openly cheer them on for it, that's public discourse - that's what I'm talking about.
i agree.

as steam killed the physical pc media, and thus gamestores no longer stock, this will do the same. however, this would be nice if implemented in the manor of steam, and given microsoft uni-model vision this should make for interesting replay value of old games on new consoles.... i digress, PC MASTER RACE! lol
i'm just going to go on a limb here and say we're passed Orwellian society at this point, various things mimick the comedic writing of 1984- while others are far different. Police body cams are something that shouldn't be in question, of course bodycam all the things (EMTs and firefighters as well). Give the heroes wings and burn the witches(, or something therein more logically described).
facial recognition as part of the bodycam is an interesting concept. Provided the recognition works as well as it does in CSI (or other drama-forensics-o-magic show) than this could theoretically reduce the number of mistaken identities that end up leading to the arrest of look-a-like innocents. Though if the recognition software is bad, it good lead to more shootings (say a dangerous known armed perp. is mistaken to be a bystander).
