Wait, you believe that government builds sewer pipes, gas systems, plumbing, roads? All of these things were and are built by private companies and should be built by private companies, not governments. Nothing should be done or built by governments, there shouldn't be any government employees, all government employees should be fired, all government regulation need to be abolished. People will rebuild everything, there shouldn't be even such things as government enforced zoning laws.

Nobody should be working for any government, givernment jobs should be stigmatized, people working for government should be stigmatized, gobernments shouldn't have employees. People working for governments should be scared that other normal people will find out.

ChatGPT says all of this is completely possible.

How likely is it that Flock is not already using its network this way?

imagine how flock personnel uses flock network every day...AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information that can provide information far beyond just someone's location. It is probably possible even to figure out market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to undersrand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

They're called commercial displays, and the only major problem with them is they cost substantially more than smart tvs because consumer smart tvs are sold much much cheaper on the assumption by the manufacturer that they will make it up on telemetry sales and ads. Right now it still makes more sense to buy the smart tv and never give it internet access and use a box like an appletv. if they start forcing online and more ads etc into smart tvs though it'll start making more sense to buy the commercial display. If you really want one btw I reccomend you go buy a used one on ebay, a lot cheaper

40 years ago we had 100 million less Americansâ¦.

Statistical contortions might provide copium, but don't prove anything. I gave you a straightforward parameter median household income. Something economists have been using for generations. You had to cherry-pick — and your cherry is rotten, because you complained about the period of COVID lock-downs, much of it presided over by your champion.

And you provided no citations. No wonder, your moderation is so high :)

I mean, I'm not the OP, but these cameras and services are purchased by governments, paid for by taxpayer money, and justified in reducing public liberty by claiming increased public security.... kinda seems to fit, no?

My guy, /.ers have been complaining about how /. handles text longer than the iPhone has even existed

Fuck him and the horse he rode on. Fuck his business. Fuck his technology. Fuck his company. Fuck his employees. Fuck his investors. Fuck his government ties. Fuck him defending this shit. Fuck everyone who wants this. Fuck the government for buying into it. Fuck the laws that allow this if they do.

Also Trump is wrecking the economy and nobody wants to acknowledge that

Because it just is not true. Median household incomes in the US are just steadily rising (inflation-adjusted) since he took office in 2024.

that presented themselves as "male" were paid more per task and perceived as more "human-like" than their "female" counterparts

Those complaining loudest are the ones, who can't define the term "woman".

Arstechnica, both its main news and its forums, is my top answer for that. Fark a bit too, it is really the last aggregator+discussion thread standing of the /. and similar era that still functions as it did (I dont count /. As functioning as it did both because new users cant easily register and because the regular reader audience has cratered over the years) Reddit obviously depending on your interests there are subreddits for everything Iâ(TM)ve heard some good things about soylent news but I feel like its so limited in audience to former /.ers that its not really a good alternative if and when /. dies

Oh, you are 100% right There needs to be more mental health for police. The moment a person decides he or she wants to apply for a police job they need to be placed into a mental institution, they are a danger to people around them.

I am fully expecting him to propose renaming America into Trump Land at some point, so he did miss a trick. It should be T & A.
