How long before supposed Federalists are commenting about the overreach of state regulations?
You're confused. This is actually a perfect example of how federalism should operate. Ironically, it took the election of Donald Trump for the left to embrace federalism.
Because sex outside marriage is bad and a horrible sin, unless of course you are a political or religious figure, in which case it is a simple human failing worthy of forgiveness. Heaven forbid (see what I did there?) we realize and embrace the fact that humans are sexual creatures. Oh well, at least we can have all the guns we want! Just work out all that sexual frustration the American way, at your local shooting range.
Do you realize you're simultaneously arguing for and against self determination?
My mind seems to be so scattered that I don't know if I'd be able to use this accurately. I can't even tell how many posts I've written then deleted because something else came to mind.
Where I think this could be really cool though is transcribing dreams. It seems most days I can remember a portion of a dream, but never the entire thing. I think it would be neat to look and see what I was dreaming about.
Raises the question of what these guys think we should do when the killbots show up (which they will; can't stop every place on earth from developing them).
FTFY. Algorithms don't care about anything. They don't care about valid or invalid input. Either they will work or they won't, but they still don't care.
When the cashier asked to "see my ID" (emphasize the "SEE"), I held out my license. She physically snatched it from my fingers and before I could even react she turned it over and scanned the barcode on the back into their POS system. That bar code contains all kinds of personal data including my address and biometric info. I did NOT consent to them collecting that info, and yet I have no way to get them to expunge it from their system. Not only am I being tracked in 17 different ways with their marketing and other systems, but they're likely selling that info of to other "partners", and putting it at risk WHEN they eventually have a systems breach.
They may not be storing your information. At a few different stores I've gone to in Michigan, they are now swiping your ID with every liquor purchase to verify that it's not a fake ID. They're all mom & pop stores, so I doubt those places are storing any information in a database. One of the places I go to, the cashier girl just swipes her own ID for the people she knows. I'm sure she could get busted for it, since I'm sure the state is tracking who purchases alcohol.
I'm not sure there is a 4th amendment issue here if the suspect is dead, as they would no longer have an expectation of privacy, and the item was found after the commission of a crime. I'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong on this, looking forward to hear arguments.
Why didn't Congress consult with the people their bill would most directly affect?
Is that a rhetorical question? Government acts like passing a law automagically fixes everything, but ultimately most laws answer to the law of unintended consequences. As much as I think human trafficking is horrific, you can always expect the government to take exactly the wrong approach to fixing it.
My wife was listening to a playlist on Saturday and there was an ad for YouTube Red in the middle of one of the songs. I don't have a problem with YouTube supporting themselves with ad revenue, but to interrupt a song seems a step too far. It's as bad as the videos you see now on Facebook that are a minute long, but have a 30 second commercial inserted in the middle.
Why is it a scandal when a company is working for a conservative/GOP candidate but not even a story when it isn't.
Because the mainstream media, Obama and Clinton were all fellow travelers. From their perspective, it's only wrong if it's being done by someone you disagree with.
Their "wealth" will still be there. We're just going to spread it around to people who will administer it with more equanimity and don't have such a need to hoard more excess than they need. Institute an inheritance tax of 90%, capital gains tax of 90% and you'll see how quickly things can iron themselves out. The concentration of wealth has occurred because we have the best government and laws that the wealthy can buy for themselves.
You'll see how quickly the rich will move to Belize, the Grand Caymans, and so on. They have a lot more mobility than you or me.
There are people that work for slave labor, meaning university adjuncts. I see pride in workmanship that has little or nothing to do with the wages paid.
I'm an adjunct, and it's probably the best paying part-time job a person can find. I make over $40 an hour, but if you factor in the out-of-class hours I spend on grading, class prep, etc., it's closer to $25.
I wouldn't call it slavery, but I'd never want to try & make a living from it. Too much chaos, the threat of full time faculty bumping you when their sections don't make course load, no real input on how the courses are taught, no benefits. Getting the number of credit hours you need is the biggest impediment. Typically you have to work at multiple higher ed institutions to make it, and that can mean a lot of travel. Thankfully, I have a full time IT job, so I do for extra cash. The fact that it's something I enjoy is a bonus.
And some people wonder why there's no conservative arts being taught in college.
Isn't that what seminaries are for?
Liberal in liberal arts does not mean liberal in a political sense. There are some conservative liberal arts colleges, and many seminaries that are liberal in the current political sense.
Why should the FTC get money if Facebook violated someone's privacy rights? Shouldn't the money go to the victims?
How adorbs! You actually expect a government not to use fines from violations and crimes to not fund itself for its own purposes? Go to your local traffic court and watch sometime - it's not about safely making traffic flow, it's all about turning people upside down, shaking, and collecting all the money that falls out.
It's a normative question, not a positive one. I know how the government operates.
And you had to bite them in order to make them open up before putting them on your line, and then bit them again to close them on the line. At least as a kid that's what I had to do, because I didn't have the finger strength.
I know several Flat Earthers and there is no evidence you can supply them to convince them otherwise.
I don't know any flat-earthers, but I find it hard that anyone sincerely believes it is true. I think they're just trolls trying to annoy people who get annoyed by such things. That's why you just ignore the trolls instead of feeding them.
I don't think it's as much left/right as it is Google/not-Google. If this was some start-up that won a DoD image processing contract I don't think there would be "evil" accusations.
I was referring to the employees at Google who were complaining about it, not/.er's complaining about Google.

Make killbot killer bots?
Infinite options, infinite "boredom."
That probably explains why they're eating Tide Pods and snorting condoms...

An algorithm cares about nothing

Being truly paranoid, is a rare skill in our times.
You're not being paranoid if they really are out to get you.

1) Post a sign in your yard that says "Gun Free Household". 2) There is no step 2.
FTFY.
Once again, Microsoft gets no respect. Maybe they need to make commercials or something, showing Cortana is a woman.

We either plan for it now or start buying pitchforks and torches. And oiling up the guillotines because we _will_ eat the rich.
Eating the rich seems like a pretty good way of ensuring that there won't be anyone to tax to pay for that universal basic income you want...

Break Motherland's rules and she grounds you. Literally.
And there's no info on how long you have to remain in time-out.
