Which of these other countries do you speak of that I would have gotten better treatment or a better outcome?
In any modern developed country other than the US, you would have gotten similar treatment and since we know you responded well to treatment, you'd have the same outcome. Obviously you can't get a better outcome than successful treatment.
For people without insurance, of course, the outcomes are often vastly different because in the US that means they'll likely have to delay treatment.
actually it isn't a camera. It is just a wearable computer. The primary purpose is to display information, not record it. Even in an immersive application that is using the camera, it usually is only processing the visual information and displaying some sort of meta-data, rather than making recordings that can be played back later.
My recommendation is to find a restaurant with full-height booths, where you can sit more privately. Because unless there is a physical barrier, you're already being recorded by people's smart phones, which are also HD camcorders and video phones.
Right, I'm sure communities where it is socially acceptable for a business to have a dress code will also have various rules for wearable computers.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, where dress codes are frowned on, no new rule is needed; if you're upsetting the people around you, you might well be asked to leave an establishment. And if you explain that the device doesn't record all the time, and isn't recording now, they'll probably just relay that to the people who complained and leave you alone.
Just like if somebody has a camcorder sitting out on their table. OMG, it "could be" recording! And in fact, grandma is about to whip it out and record baby eating. And it is pointing in your direction. And if you're a really difficult person, you might even complain. And I'm sure there are business people who would agree to throw people out who record "home" movies there. But usually it is okay. People are already doing video blogs from their smart phones, and there might be dozens of other diners in the background.
People are taking pictures and video all the time with all sorts of other devices. It is socially unrestricted behavior, you just whip out your camera whenever you want and snap pictures.
They'd need access to the NSA's database to do that! How about having the NSA just flag all the packets that have malware, and then everybody can drop those at the routers.
The important thing in many contexts is control of the data, portability of the data. If the data is portable, a commodity cloud owned by whoever might be just fine. Especially where you can just run your own private cloud if you have a use case that requires control.
Apps also are learning to use caches these days, so they still work fine offline.
This. Did we learn nothing from IE6 and the ActiveX legacy?
At a time when developers should be writing stuff that works across any browser (HTML5, CSS, JS), Chrome is trying to divide the web again with things that "only work" in their browser.
We learned it is hard to get right, and it takes a whole bunch of tries to get good client side execution without requiring traditional installation.
It remains to be seen if this will end up being a portable standard or not. It is too early to accuse chrome of trying to divide the web. I agree we should think about it and keep an eye out.
Natural Rights are those rights that are universal, that arise naturally from the human condition, human evolution/creation/existence. It is a "soft law" concept, that can only be assessed imperfectly and on a case-by-case basis. However, it encompass a basic set of moral concepts that are common in nearly all human cultures, and indeed many of them are true for other creatures too. Do not murder (hunting isn't usually counted), do not steal/lie, do not rape, do not commit adultery. This is generally the basic set, and they will exist even in primitive culture with no formal laws.

What if it turns out that 1,2,3,4,5,6 is a very rare combination? Then he is maximizing his chances.
You might want to look up the word "slavery," I doubt it will say anything about "paying taxes you don't like."
I invite the analysis using any well-intentioned metric.

If this is your normal language, you'd get thrown out of the places I go right away.
And the hula-hoop is probably fine.

Just like in The Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson!
As long as the smart phones all also get a visible shutter lock.

It's not always on. And it is rarely recording.
That was true long before you got here, sonny.

Freedom!
You know what they say about homophobes: get out of the closet!
Canada has more health care than Americans do, and they're not slaves.
Are you completely sure that health care is slavery?
What's new or news here?
The implementation and distribution.
Presumably the ad-blocker can just role that feature in. :)

Yep. Play Store has f-droid, and I can get OSS-only apps from there. Google gives me everything I need to get my device set up the way I want.
Other than ad blocking, that is. But that isn't a play store issue.
I thought JS was the scourge before .NET was written, and later we found out JS was good it just had a community of harmful practices built around it.

A modern formalized distribution mechanism and a modern interpretation of security boundaries.
