There's also the landlord problem. Namely they won't let you put in air conditioning due to fears about the wiring. It's a big problem in my part of Canada.

If you can deliver the power. I'm on the west coast of Canada, somewhere that previously never needed air conditioning but does now. Many an apartment buildings wiring can't handle AC. These are 30+ year old buildings with really crappy air flow too. Europe has much older buildings. We're also dependent on hydro for power, which is working like crap with the droughts, Europe has nuclear that also works like crap due to drought though at least they have solar.

Why the fuck are you counting things like flu deaths as deaths from the cold. Compare those who freeze to death with those who die of heat stroke and similar. Way more people die directly from heat then die directly from cold.
Fucking statistics, you can twist anything around to what you want but it's still BS.

The Bible actually says that life (well maybe human life) starts with the 1st breath, when God breathes a soul into the new born.

I don't know I thought it was pretty funny when we found out that 90% of right-wing influencers are either Pakistani or Indian and they're just grifting stupid right wing Americans.

So yeah it would be funny to actually see the algorithm with all its warts and all.

But that said the algorithm without the data isn't a complete picture. Especially because we know that the owner of Twitter routinely has the data altered artificially in order to fit with whatever silly little agenda he has this week.

I mean I guess yeah technically since Elon Musk and Jeff bezos are lizard people but I think they're native lizard people rather than the usual batch of aliens we get.

Literally there's about 3 or 400 people who are going to destroy the entire planet except for a small section of it that they will be allowed to live on protected by automatic killbots and periodic Mass cullings.

And your Boomer uncle is all in favor of it as long as he doesn't have to look at trans people or let them drink his beer.

STFU will win

...on 5th Ave. and not lose any investors.

anything that includes me without my direct permission at a dinner party... last time I ever speak to them.

I'd turn their spectacles into suppositories, giving them a free colonoscopy that they'll watch over and over clockwork-orange-style.

More data centers. Data centers all the way down.

Bingo, America's corporate culture is just pretty bad, particularly since the 80's when the mentality shifted from being responsible stewards to the glorified profit machine and corporate raider culture. A prime example is looking at the changes in GE once Jack Welch was put in charge and he was responsible for a lot of this cultural rot combined with the general de-regulation and cultural shift the Reagan era brought about from to the oil crisis 70's.

So they've got nothing but time on their hands. They own things for a living instead of doing things for a living.

Now get back to RTO and don't complain about your 90-minute commute.

Some of them, personally would have for sure but the vast majority of them would look at the process that we took to get here more than the outcome. If the public through their representatives wanted to have a large surveillance system and it was done within the bounds of the laws we all created as well then they probably wouldn't have a legal problem with it even if some of them would have a moral one, particularly here where Flock is a predominately state and local issue. They would agree that they left us a way to fix it, if we really wanted.

The blackpill here though is that as much as the crowd on this website see this one way we are a very, very, narrow slice and your fellow neighbors are probably more ambivalent and in support of Flock type systems.

The public's relationship with law enforcement is completely and utterly annihilated after the drug war 80's, 90's crime wave and 9/11. As cringe as "defund the police" is there is a truth underneath there that something fundamental has to change with how we deal with LE, it's become so bloated and full of absolutely terrible perverse incentives, like we see here with Flock which is just the result of and itself creates a fuck-ton of perverse incentives.

While the institutions who employed him bare most of the blame, the media circus wasn't justified either. He wasn't the first and won't be the last one to get caught out fabricating stuff like this or stealing other people's work, but for some reason there was an excessive amount of coverage of this case.

Well, not "some reason", we know why. Black man hired to help with a lack of diversity and opportunity at Cambridge. Culture war bullshit.
