This is a love tap, fists will be thrown later. One thing can and should be done, we need to start adding aerosols into the atmosphere, the higher the better. Adding Na compounds to jet fuels would introduce just enough aerosols in order to start reflecting a tiny amount more of solar radiation than what makes it to the surface of the planet. 1-2% reflection is all we need to start reducing the temperatures. Of-course we will have to keep doing it until we figure out a more permanent solution.

Google is now adding more rules to make sideloading more difficult while Apple never provided a way to sideload an app in the first place. People need to be able to build and load their own apps without permission from the OS manufacturer, a phone is a computer with specialized hardware, we do have ability to build and run apps on our own hardware.

"Do they screw hundreds of millions of tax payers to keep a couple thousand douchy-investor-types whole?"

Have your taxes gone down since 2008 when the Fed started printing trillions in QE without needing any tax money? If you were invested in the S&P 500 before the GFC would you be enjoying your 350% returns today?

"You're describing preference-matching, but a lot of advertising is preference-shaping. I publicly state I'm vegetarian and still get meat ads -- not because the system thinks I want meat, but because the advertiser wants to change my preference. Collaborative filtering doesn't handle ethical constraints well, so it treats them as noise rather than boundaries."

To Muir, dismissing forest defense as "environmental nonsense" and reducing ancient ecological treasures to fodder for cheap, disposable paper goods exemplifies human vanityâ"treating the natural world as a commercial warehouse rather than a living temple.

"Giant cane is Missouriâ(TM)s native species of bamboo. It is scattered, mostly in our southernmost counties and the Bootheel. In its low, moist habitats, it sometimes forms canebrakes â" dense, nearly pure thickets. It is Missouriâ(TM)s only native grass that is woody by nature and thus can be considered a shrub.

The stalks, literally bamboo canes, are woody, branched above, and rarely more than 16 feet tall. It grows in dense colonies due to vegetative spread by rhizomes (branching rootstocks)."

Flock is not a single police officer standing on a street corner. Flock is a network of continuous data collection from every perspective on every road and intersection. Flock is not a camera, it is an AI system that follows you precisely everywhere, it is a data dump without a court order. There is expectation that a police officer will NOT follow you everywhere without a court order just because he is paid from taxes and has nothing better to do, this is stalking.

Wrong, it's a slight of hand. This is not about individual cameras, this is about the network that uses all cameras together to follow you no matter what you do, no matter where you go, people shouldn't have a government that follows their every step by using AI and networked devices. If this was about individual cameras you would have a point, it is not, it is unreasonable to allow a government to exist that creates a panopticon of this scale, citizens shouldn't feel like they are inside a prison and the warden is watching.
