Comment Bad for the rich - this will end soon (Score 1) 142

Rich people often personally move large quantities of cash around - for reasons that are often illegal and almost always unethical, but that's not the point here. The point is that the first time a rich dude has his DIY cash shipment intercepted, this idiocy will end quickly. But what are the odds of an expensive and classy car with a classy, usually white person behind the wheel getting pulled over?

Hmm, if drug dealers moved their cash in Maybachs they'd go untouched!

Comment Double-edged sword (Score 1) 170

When these cameras are used to feed a policeman's AR glasses and are running full-time face recognition, gait analysis and LPR along with a comms interface, you're going to have hivemind supercops, not necessarily a good thing with a so very imperfect set of laws.

It's also worth considering that if you play online, you'll get called a faggot, a nigger, and receive rape & death threats even if you're a straight white guy. If you give these pissed-off manchildren access to solid information on your race/gender/sexuality, all that does is give a specific target to the insults so they don't have to take the shotgun approach.

If we were only thinking in terms of human lifespans, most science would be irrelevant. Geology and climatology? That stuff hardly changes in a human lifetime! Astronomy? Why bother with anything beyond Pluto?

Thinking within a human lifespan is very short sighted for anything but what you want to achieve before you die. You could even argue that the grouping is practically permanent for the lifespan of our species, but that grouping would still be technically wrong compared to our best knowledge.
