Just because we don't have to doesn't mean we cannot if the need arises.
Yeah, just cut the power for say a month, and let's see who and how many will actually survive.....
If an attach took out the US power grid, we'd be in a world of shit over there....eveyone is so dependent upon it, and no one knows how to do basic things for survival off the earth anymore.
Even after the fighting, gangs, etc (I picture something very akin to Walking Dead type world, just without the zombies)....the few people left would be working to regain a lot of lost knowledge our ancestors had, and it would be a very few that really made it, IMHO.
Not a pretty picutre...but on the other hand...obesity levels would drop considerably!!!
If you are good at something - job should accommodate you, not the other way.
Hmm...I take it we grew up getting a trophy for showing up, and raised to think the world revolves around you didn't we?
I've got some bad news for you sunshine....unless you wanna live your live in a box under the freeway, you'd better learn quick that YOU had to adjust to how the rest of the world works and deal with it.
Unless you are independently wealthy already, that's just a fact of life.
Perhaps. Or perhaps - like me - one may only accept jobs without onerous requirements on hours worked. You want me to be in at 9am for a quarterly review meeting? Sure. You need me in by 9am every morning. Nope.
Ok, I can see this maybe if working an odd job, maybe a restaurant job (I did these while in school and growing up)...but you certainly can't be serious about this for a real job?
You must be young, perhaps a millennial in order to thing that 9am is "onerous".....but that's they way the real world works my friend.
If you want to make a healthy living, you need to face up to that quick.
The days of sleeping till noon are for teens still living at home, as an adult, you need to go to bed earlier and get up for real world hours.
And yet...we STILL allow CA to dictate so much about what happens and what is allowed across the US.
They have waaaaay too much power over what the rest of us have to deal with in our lives...from gas mileage, to restrictions on what you can/can't buy or manufacture, etc.
Hell we give Californial Special Waivers all the time it seems from Federal laws.
If you wanna live in the land of flakes and nuts, ok, but we shouldn't allow it all to spread across the nation of states that have very different populations, geographic needs and environments.
...which I only use to log on sites that require an FB account to log in.
Hmm....I've never run into a site that required FB to log in???
I mean, of course I assume to log into FB you need a FB account, but never ran into a 3rd party site that required you to have a FB account to log into it......???
I don't know about Microsoft but around here when one area gets an Indian manager suddenly all the people reporting to him are Indian and all the former non-Indian people are shuffled off to other departments. Just something I've observed time and time again where I work.
Yep, that's the reason I commented....this is not uncommon to see happen.
I've looked into it some and you need a lot of IR power to do it. Basically you want something that really messes with he metering on the camera which takes a lot of light. For something like a vehicle and ALPRs (automated license plate readers) it seems doable but for a single person you many need to lug around a fairly sizable battery that is capable of 10s of watts of continuous output. For cars 100s of watts of continuous output is nothing
I have no reasonable expectation of privacy for what I do in that space.
But you do (or at least did) have the reasonable expectation that your movements, actions, time in/out and all would not be recorded, tracked and analyzed...and stored for a long time to be used against you in a number of different methods and manners and who knows when the date could be?
It's one thing to be seen by people...its quite another to have it recorded and kept by authorities.
This is a new thing and time to fight it is NOW!!!
What one generation accepts....the next generation embraces.
People have figured out how to provide security for their families since time immemorial without have a police camera jammed up their ass.
The trouble is, there are a lot of people, many of which are quite young and have little real life experience, that are actively fighting to remove the ability to protect yourself and your family.
I've not see such a large movement to, voluntarily in the US, remove and lose rights.
Freedom and liberty, however, are worth more; they cost quite a large number of human lives.
Yep, and once rights are LOST you never really stand a chance of getting them back.
And worse, once you allow things like this...well, the old saying is:
"What one generation accepts....the next generation embraces...."
And as far as the police go....do keep in mind, it has been established by many a court verdict, that the police are NOT, in fact, responsible or culpable for your protection against crime.
They are only there to try to solve crimes that have happened, and charge people with those crimes, but they are under no legal obligation to come to you aid or prevent or interact in a crime that you have in progress on your person or property.
Remember that....when you are anxious to give up any of your rights, or your privacy which allow you freedom, and the ability to defend you and your families' lives.
Hell...institute a FINE of even say, $100/$1000 per false alarm after the first 3x bad 911 calls.
Most cities/states I know of, do this for people what alarm systems at their homes that keep sending out false signals or have the people setting them off themselves with wrong codes, etc.
Put a $$ bite on Apple and I"m guessing they'll figure how to curtail this pronto.
In other news, I bought a fork, and attempted to stab minorities in the eye with it. Nothing the fork manufacturer did prevented me from stabbing minorities in the eye with the fork they made. Therefore, the fork manufacturer needs to give me millions of dollars.
No, it just means we need to pass bi-partisan "Sensible Fork Laws"....
So, is it now that NOT targeting everyone with advertising is now discrimination???
I mean, what if we bring this into the analog world a bit....if I have a house for rent, and I print up flyers, and I only put them in in the neighborhood close to the property, or perhaps I choose to only nail them to poles in affluential neighborhoods....rather than also post them in "the hood"....I am now guilty of discrimination?
I now have to advertise to everyone?
I know it is illegal WITHIN an ad to say "you needn't apply if you are ", but that applies to content of the ad, not where it is placed.
Geez....what used to be common sense is right out the fucking window today with the SJW crowd.....
Continuing to discuss this topic just plays into the hands of people who want to take your rights away. By keeping the discussion going for years they start to normalize the idea that there is something to discuss - i.e. that both sides have merit.
Kinda like the anti-gunners, the ones that want to eventually get rid of the 2A.
I've just never before thought that so many of the US citizenry would be united in forcefully fighting to reduce their own rights on so many different fronts.
It's cheaper just to rip them from YouTube. It's not like digital is less popular. You can't count this sort of thing just by sales, lol.
Geez...does NO one care about fidelity at all anymore?!?!?
Or, is that most modern music is so badly composed, performed and so compressed, that it isn't worth it to buy a good copy and play it on a really nice stereo system?
It's likely their advertisers (their real customers) didn't want to have their products shown next to gun videos. Advertisers are weirdly picky that way
They long ago de-monitized most all of the gun related channels, so, they're NOT any ads playing over these videos and haven't been for at least a year or so.
The thing is....WHY is YouTube banning videos that are showing PERFECTLY LEGAL activities with perfectly legal to own tools? (yes, a gun is nothing more than a tool).
That's what gets me....
I can understand them not wanting to allow illegal content, but this stuff is 101% legal to do.
It is perfectly legal for you to manufacture your own gun.
It is perfectly legal to modify your weapon in most ways (exception, can't legally modify to full auto)....
It is legal and actually a good idea to break down, clean and reassemble your weapon.
So, this is clearly NOTHING more than politically motivated.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, since Slashdot is a US centric site, it is safe to assume all arguments are US based, unless specifically noted.

Can you give examples?
Yep, that's the reason I commented....this is not uncommon to see happen.
Sounds like a move to make all MS leadership Indian as much as anything else....?
Well, could start with the car.
Do you by chance have any links you could share?
Thanks in advance!!

Is something like that, a wearable that blinds the cameras but not the human eye available or a viable option these days?
Is there a way to build an analagous "faraday cage" optically around you so that cameras can't really capture your image very well?
It sounds like a snack....new Nabisco TITS!!
Cheese Tits
Onion Tits......
Ah...man, I really miss George.
Most cities/states I know of, do this for people what alarm systems at their homes that keep sending out false signals or have the people setting them off themselves with wrong codes, etc.

No, it just means we need to pass bi-partisan "Sensible Fork Laws"....

Yup...would be smart to block the sale.

WTF would anyone create/incorporate as a for profit company.....and not have their primary goal of "making a profit"?
They long ago de-monitized most all of the gun related channels, so, they're NOT any ads playing over these videos and haven't been for at least a year or so.
Err....you do not seem to understand the sole purpose of forming a company here for some reason.
That is their job...their ONLY job, to "create a profit" for the owners and stock holders (if public).
Did you never take even a rudimentary business class during your educational years?
That's what gets me....
I can understand them not wanting to allow illegal content, but this stuff is 101% legal to do.
It is perfectly legal for you to manufacture your own gun.
