And their numbers have always been abstracted. The numbers "big data" has come from somewhere, studies, manual input, algorithms written by humans to turn analog input into digital output, all are prone to error, as they have been in the past. When all these numbers are compiled and they are presented in a particular context by an interested party, a human decision / consultation will probably ensue, also not infallible.
NYC doesn't need to test facial recognition cameras, the companies that make the cameras should be responsible for testing them, and then certify them for NYC. Why is NYC doing QA for another company?
Why would NYC need facial recognition cameras ever?
Will data be retained or only statistics?
In TFA they offer no answers and aren't willing to share any plans with the public, which is very damning after publicly announcing they will be spending a ton of taxpayer money installing these at bridges and tunnels. Only at the bottom are we offered the clue that Gov. Cuomo is basically chasing the bogeyman with the taxpayer's money: “In this age of terrorist activity and lone wolves, if you look at points of vulnerability you’ll go to our tunnels and to our bridges. So really they have to be reimagined for a new reality,”

Thanks, that's very informative... Makes me wonder why all the hubris over forking Debian then if you can just install some other init... I guess because some packages are starting to depend on it? Anyway, I'll try this, thanks for the idea.
What's a fad is all these expensive devices with crap battery life. The Mi band does all the fitness (and sleep) tracking for $20. Now that's something you can just get for fun, and if you don't find it useful, pass it on to someone else. Personally I like mine. Making people buy $200+ devices with yearly upgrades? Of course that won't last.
Hmm. LMDE is not frequently updated, and as it is based on Debian and not Devuan would probably eventually migrate to systemd automatically by default, I'd probably be better sticking with Mint 17.3 LTS until 2019...
That's cool, I'm glad it works for you. I don't have a Windows license or use any Windows specific apps, but I'm not even sure if some of the apps I use are available in that environment, such as Rosegarden.
Also I'm not too familiar with Windows past 2000, I probably wouldn't know where to begin on what to enable/disable to have a usable desktop without nags, and I'm not a fan of updating each driver/app separately (or even installing drivers, which I don't have to do in Linux). I mentioned that I love apt because I like being able to update everything all at once, knowing that no update will conflict with another and knowing everything has been tested in that configuration together.
I also really don't like how certain updates reset certain settings to default, I don't want my settings to be randomy changed.
I don't think Windows is an option for me, it would be hard for me to abandon the conveniences of my current desktop.
Devuan is still in beta, Slackware is here now but lacks the Debian package pool (I enjoy nice recent versions of packages that are widely tested with no dependency issues, I love apt), as well as a bunch of other fringe distros...
Personally I've settled on Mint for my desktop, as it has all the software I need, as well as Cinnamon, which is important to me as it remains committed to delivering a consistent desktop UI that won't change for the sake of change, as did Gnome and KDE. If I could get my Cinnamon fix on a non-systemd distro, along with other packages I use, I would move in a heartbeat.
Rosegarden, K3B, Handbrake, Kodi, Inkscape, Gimp, LibreOffice, Cinnamon... That's all I need.
Ever since that day I have understood exactly how systemd eschews the "do one thing do it well" practice, and that even though it seems like individual components of systemd are being developed that way, they still come together as one giant integrated service where one flaw can affect/leverage its other components in attack. In other scenarios you could compromise an individual tool, but maybe SELinux granular permissions could help you, or maybe issues with that individual tool could be addressed, but if something in systemd is affected you're basically fucked top to bottom until a solution or shim is found, it is an ugly situation.
Anyone else in this position? What are you trying?
I am outraged that the US is embarrassing itself with the dirtiest race for the presidency ever, with the dirtiest candidates, and the dirtiest discussions surrounding it. The entire US has devolved into forum trolls, including the candidates. Yes, I am outraged. And embarrassed for my country. All of this was here before, but thankfully it has now come into the light and is completely undeniable. I hope others will share in my outrage and embarrassment and demand better for our country, and deny the presidency to both of the parties that have dragged our country down instead of building it up for far too long now.
We can do much better than this, an ugly race unfit for even the worst tabloids. There is no more diplomacy, no more facts, just rhetoric hyperbole and coverups. It's pathetic.
Problem is that once they accomplished that goal, they didn't know what to do next.
How about maintain the balance? Maintain the small simple extensible browser. Make it efficient at what it does. Follow W3C standards. Maintain the Gecko engine. That is all.
They say it's not a virtual machine, just an environment that only allows a subset of APIs and capabilities required for the browser to work... Sounds like what SELinux policies do
True but I've seen similar stories re: MS - "Microsoft is betting big that HDR displays will be much more popular in the near future compared to 4K screens or those that offer a wider color gamut." - https://www.neowin.net/news/mi...
And they did release the Xbox One S to address HDR. It just looks like they didn't count on Sony adding additional power as well as HDR.
They simply must be compared at some point, not everyone is going to buy all the systems.
If they have incremental hardware steps some people will stay behind until forced to upgrade, we'll actually truly reach the point where mom can say "Why do you need a Super Nintendo? You already have a Nintendo!"
When MS put out a lower performing console for a higher price, with a very expensive microphone/camera that had a handful of games, with an aimless overall strategy, of course they were snubbed. It's more nuanced than penis length, you're buying into a strategy and ecosystem.
Yes but that is because everyone already has an HDTV so sales slowed for that. Just because 4k is outpacing 1080p doesn't mean they're necessarily finding their way into many homes, or even gamers' bedrooms. We'll see what happens, this is just my opinion.

Sorry I misread, but the gist is basically employees could not succeed without dishonest practices and managers were aware

Me? No, I focus on what I'm doing, not what others are trying to do, unless they specifically ask for my help/input

I thought since Debian included systemd, so would LMDE? Thanks for the ideas, will definitely check it out!

Didn't know since I just game on console. With all the problems PC ports have anyway I find it too frustrating to play on that platform.
And not to mention consoles. I have a Linux PC but not a very powerful GPU so I play games on consoles. Works fine.
But Street Fighter V is available on Linux
True, I agree, I'm sure many will skip versions just like they do for phones etc
If you have an Xbox One you might get a PS4 Pro to get access to the other system's library and vice versa
