If you build the kind of facial recognition network that can detect people like this woman then you are giving up your civil rights whether you like it or not. There are just some things that are mutually exclusive whether you like it or not.

I could care less about a dying old woman. I have elementary critical thinking skills. Would you evidently lack. Every time you see a story like this this is the authorities telling you that it's okay to give up your civil rights because look at this scary scary terrorist. The fact that this is the best they could come up with to encourage you to give up your privacy and civil rights shows how utterly fucking worthless it is for anything except screwing you over.

Maybe it's the American in me talking but those who would give up essential Liberty for temporary security deserve neither. Which I could give a fucking rat's ass about you or anyone else who isn't in my immediate family or friend group at this point you all can go fuck yourselves except you're dragging me down with you.

I really wish you would stop but you're not capable of it. This is why I think the human race is finished. I don't think we're going to make it another 50 years.

A terrifying terrorist?! Quickly eliminate all civil rights! Because that kind of crackdown and surveillance certainly isn't exactly the kind of thing terrorism is designed to cause because terrorists are hoping to create social pressure leading to further crackdowns that they are hoping will turn into some sort of magic revolution instead of a even worse fascist State because nobody understands anything...

Again you're trading a 67 year old woman who hasn't committed any crimes in decades for literally all of your civil rights. You already know that's not a good deal but you're taking it anyway. Are you really that desperate to hurt people?

I sincerely hope you are a bot because if you're not I am genuinely embarrassed that you wrote that.

Unless it's just high satire in which case bravo sir, bravo.

The Poe's law is strong with this one.

I'm not sure if that's true, but it would make sense if it was. Alpha males (ignoring there is no such thing) are the most restricted by laws, because they are the most likely to get their way if there was no enforcement of laws (through the natural law of might makes right). So it shouldn't be surprising that they'd be the least likely to let something slide without getting the police involved to get the same outcome they could have done themselves if the laws allowed them to use their own physical force. "Less alpha" individuals may be more used to not getting their way regardless of the laws, are therefore feel less entitled to get the police involved as quickly.

You can't know the eclipse's gender unless you know which bodies are involved...

The appeal of Mars is that it could theoretically be made Earthlike, with a bit of handwaving perhaps, but not wholly outside the realm of plausibility.

As the appeal is in sending humans someday, there's going to be little support for building a toxic atmosphere, especially one which is particularly unpleasant to die in.

So you want to trade all of your privacy and all of your freedom for a 67 year old woman living in hiding. I mean you do you but that seems like a bum deal to me.

Also funny that the alpha males always go straight to the police and government when they feel harmed or at risk. And they fall over themselves to give government and police limitless power at the slightest provocation. Curious!

Where else am I supposed to play Knuckles Chaotix and Spider-Man web of fire!

Well, the use case is clearly to produce binaries with smaller memory footprint. But *I* didn't even notice that Debian had disabled it.

There is no such thing as a safe nuclear reactor. Only reactors that are less dangerous.

If you walk away from a solar farm because the money is not there anymore no harm no foul. There are some ecological impacts for building them out but that's it and honestly the land will reclaim given time.

That is not the case for nuclear power. There's a bunch of stuff you can do to make it so that it's basically impossible to have Fukushima happen but if we could guarantee those things got done Fukushima wouldn't have happened.

Every time I point this out inevitably a bunch of people come out and say that other sources of power kill more people which would be true if wind and solar didn't exist. Never mind the fact that as an American I would rather be dead than without property. Fukushima had to be evacuated for 10 years and everyone involved lost their property. America does not treat people without property well.

Anyone that doesn't have $600 for a new game console might care.

FWIW, if they want to class insecticides as "toxins", I think they're probably right. Also plasticizers. And likely a few other industrial chemicals that aren't properly cleaned up.

Of course it makes sense. Giving it to the power industry means we need to make more, and he can award the contract on a bribery basis.

Any of the risks of using enriched uranium for power production went right out the window it seems.

Nuclear power done cheaply with limited oversight is incredibly dangerous. Yes nuclear power plants can be done very safely and very great expense. So much so that you would never build a nuclear power plant in 2026 unless you had major space constraints and couldn't build a wind or solar farm for some reason. That's basically Japan and nobody else. Maybe a few places in France. But even then that's highly debatable.

This means that if you're firing up a new nuclear power plant in 2026 and you're not doing it for research or military purposes that you are probably looking to do it with the lowest bidder and the least maintenance. You better hope you're not living next to that.

Have you heard the line about markets staying irrational longer than you can stay solvent?
