Who knows, maybe it had a rehabilitation of humanity planned, something similar to "Mother". Anyway, holy shit did that guy miss the whole point.

Honestly, when I first read "1984", it was right after I returned home from a summer trip over the pond (in Europe), about 2 weeks after 9/11 happened. As I read it, inevitably I would read something that wouldn't fly in the past, but would now, and I'd say in my head, "Yep, I can see that happening here". I've read it and reread it over and over through the years, and those "Yeps" are definitely getting more frequent.

It's not hard for me to imagine how creepy this would be for any lady, as I had something like this happen to me. I was at a convention, meet a couple of people who were running an anime booth. Before I had even walked 10 feet away from chatting with them briefly, one of them found and tried to friend me on Google Plus. Like who even used Google Plus, much less actually be able to find someone on there!

I feel like if facial recognition is made more common it could also be used by employers to identify and further discriminate against those with criminal records.

The "funny" thing about facial recognition and collecting data is this: Quite a lot of terrorists who commited terrorist attacks in Germany between 2014 - 2017 were known by the police, they were already in their system but it did not help to prevent the attacks. So it's just mind-boggling to me, that there are people who think giving more data to the state will make our lives safer. To me it seems the police can't even handle the data they already have. It's not about collecting more data but to better analyse the data that is collected..

i'm not entirely plugged in.. on how such 'basic' A.I. ..that too.. often 'flawed' A.I. can ever have a fair shot at 'preventing' mishaps or sinster things. i think.. for that we had better got 'ears to the ground' ... informer networks and better intercept tech. maybe even hack encryption based messenger services.. (whats ufffap) i know from experience or seeing how Bombay police changed. prior to the 1990s communal/religious riots and all the police literally had ample imformer networks and solving high-voltage cases was .. to a great extent.. dependent on human intel. things dwindles after the trust was broken.. or Muslims often saw the state as being partial.. if not the oppressor. informers too receeded to the background. (many from the lower strata of society or living on tge fringes.. or even being part of crime syndicates/ gangs). and obviouslt.. now crime is often decentralised. like.. in xase of terror attacks here.. often it takes a "sleeper cell" of juat 4-5 localised people who might otherwise have regular day jobs. skilled, highly educated people too can and do get systematicallylured or brain washed in the name of allegedly/real atrocities agsinst their sect/ group/ religion. it would be A FAAAAAR CALL to expect our current toddlee A.I. to do zilch in catching a whiff **before** a crime occured. i mean.. really. what if i am acting almost alone or in a limited way getting instructions over a securef communication and collecting arson or weapons or explisives wirhin closed premises. aka no public meetings or significant appearance out of the ordinary.. in front of surveilance cameras. i could be wrong but just my two paise

John Oliver has a completely different format from the other shows. It's a one-topic retrospective of things that happened a while back. Which allows for more research and a more complete look on the situation. This sets LWT apart from the daily shows - studio or not. And don't get me wrong, I really like the John Oliver show for this bit of more distance to the actual events. But for experiencing the actual situation the other shows, be it Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel and funny enough Bill Maher recently are also quite good.

This brings up the age-old “I have nothing to hide” argument. People always use that as an argument to say they’re ok with this type of surveillance. I’m willing to bet, though, that if I randomly walked up to any of those people on the street - let’s say we’re both in line at the same deli - and asked them for their license plate number and home address, they’d be inclined to say no. Both of those things are “public information” but it’s still an invasion of privacy. People rely on security by obscurity and facial recognition technology completely destroys any type of privacy we have left.

An even better experiment would be to stay exactly 15-20 feet away from them and film them while they move around a public space. Not an invasion of privacy, but everyone recognizes there's something abusive about it. Trying to proactively identify _everyone_ walking around in public, with no reasonable suspicion that any specific one of those people has committed a specific crime, is problematic. "Privacy" isn't quite the right word, and we still lack much of the vocabulary we need to talk about it effectively. I think it's closer to, how our understanding of "presumption of innocence" needs to be adjusted to account for the information age.

He was a data systems analyst and I was a Network systems analyst, regardless of my title in a UNIX call center They both came back
