I have an African-American daughter, so whenever I move into a new suburb, I do my best to take her around and introduce her to all the new neighbors... so that they don't shoot her.
In Cali, you can get a restraining order against people solely on the basis of saying you're afraid of them... even if you have a history of hospitalization for paranoia. Take a while to let that sink in.
Do stand your ground laws give you the right to shoot the off duty cop behind you who pulls a gun on you because he thinks you're stealing Mentos? (Asking for a friend,)
My coworker had epilepsy so he DIDN'T DRIVE (despite the fact that he actually owned a car). He took the bus, or when he missed the bus, asked me for a ride. Point is, HE was responsible enough to not endanger other people's lives (or his own).
Actually, no, We had a woman here in Beaverton who passed out, went to the hospital, the doctor told her not to drive, she decided to drive herself home anyway... and passed out again on the way home, ran up over the sidewalk and over a 17 year old kid, killing him. Legally, she was criminally responsible, because any responsible person wouldn't have taken that risk and put other people's lives in danger So what's the difference between that case and the case of a badly programming self-driving car?
Not quite. Being a police officer is a CHOICE; and it's a choice more likely to be made by people with controlling personalities. That being said, my experience is that the majority of people going into police work start out with an active desire to actually help people, and many of them manage to remain good people despite constantly having to deal with people at their worst.
92% false positives is not a problem IF they require all matches to be checked by a human being for taking any action against the person matched. And don't have the AI matches confirmed by somebody with face blindness (prosopagnosia) like me, either!
It's not a clinical trial unless all the "patients" give informed consent. This is testing on people that have not be forewarned and have given zero consent. That is a very different animal.
I keep getting robocalls from spoofed phone numbers where the first 6 digits are the same as my own phone number. Isn't that illegal? My cell phone is on the Do Not Call list, but obviously registering an FTC Do Not Call complaint is pointless when I don't know the actual legal name or number of the entity that is harassing me. Any suggestions on how to hold these scammers accountable? Play along until I can find out their actual identity? I suspect they are offshore to begin with, so criminal charges likely wouldn't go far.
What ever happened to, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog"? Diversity is irrelevant when you only know people by their email addresses! Just because I'm using the name of an old white philosopher doesn't mean I'm not a young black instagram model!
PornHub should add a dating function that matches people up with others that are into the same kinks... er, not like I would need that sort of service, no sir... I mean, all I do is straight missionary, no kinks at all!
I don't think it's 50:1, but most dating sites are filled with pictures of "ringers" (both male and female) that may even be stolen from other sites. Needless to say, these are essentially bot accounts that won't supply. Worse are the ones that send you a message within minutes of you creating an account -- that's obviously either a bot, somebody on the company payroll, or a catfisher. And yes, about half of the women that messaged me were catfishers, as evidenced by the fact that they knew nothing about the town they claimed to be from -- and some even admitted to being someplace other than what they claimed in their profile. Then of course there are the "accidentally set my age much higher" so that they would match with men in their 50's despite using a picture of a 20 year old... yeah, catfishers. Again, I assume women have the same issues I saw.

You forgot to mention they were BLACK women checking out of an unlicensed AirBNB, so obviously highly suspicious.
So whenever there is a crime, we should shoot someone at random to solve the problem? Brilliant!

In soviet Russia, feature turns you off!
Any chance we could add this to the phone Spanky uses to send his tweets?
Visual Cobol? (Sadly, that product actually already exists.)
I just can't wait for the Masturbating Monkey release!

In deep space, how do they dissipate the heat generated by the reactor?
Is getting far more hits than expected distinguishable from a DoS attack?

Moobs?
No, you're thinking of Assbook...

I tried that. Her response? "I have a girlfriend..."
...and she just turned 24!
