That grand jury should have refused to indict.

I don’t think this is a safe assumption. The victim may not have free access to hardware. The police/etc may not believe them. They may be afraid of being murdered if they try to record something. Just off the top of my head.
You can read “why does he do that?” by Lundy Bancroft for fascinating and depressing information about abuse. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/224552.Why_Does_He_Do_That_Inside_the_Minds_of_Angry_and_Controlling_Men
Using AI seems extremely excessive compared to a regular interface or human.
This is what I always say. Put the tickets in order and we’ll do them.
Management always pushes back.
I mean I assume they had like metal detectors and stuff. You probably can’t pay $500 to go to a fancy dinner and just shoot a supreme Court justice. Right? Someone would’ve already done that.
Normally I’d say something like “nothing will change until conservatives suffer personally”, but lots of kids have been shot and that didn’t do it. So I don’t know man.
In groups to protect, outgroups to bind. That seems to be all conservatism is.
DeSantis is a dangerous idiot that should be removed from power.
What word would you prefer? I considered “Republicans” but that doesn’t catch people outside the US. “Contemporary Republicans or people who would vote for them” isn’t very catchy
Conservatives have bad ideas about nearly everything. They should under no circumstances be allowed to have any power. I’d even say they’re an existential threat to the US and the rest of humanity.
It’s far past time to stop treating them as just folks with a different opinion. This is not “oh well they wanted to paint the bedroom walls green and I wanted blue.”
Someone announcing themselves a conservative should be taken as a declaration of a threat. Removing them from power is self defense.
Yes. However, it’s an assumption they honor those requests and don’t try to track you anyway.
Plus Google isn’t the only company trying to do individualized targeted advertising.
First, individually targeted advertisement should be illegal. Instead of trying to figure out who I am and serving me ads based on that, they should only be able to look at server side facts. What is the video? This is how television and radio ads have worked for ages. You have a video about SomePopBand, you advertise concert tickets. You have a video about bikes, you advertise bike stuff. You don’t know who I am. Suddenly, the motivation for most of the privacy invading, stalking, nonsense is gutted.
Some people would still block those static ads. If they showed some restraint, I think more people would accept them. But that’s a sad joke- no profit driven org is going to show restraint.
Secondly, if they can’t ethically run the business at a profit, the business probably doesn’t deserve to exist. That or it’s a loss leader to get people into the ecosystem.
I already barely watch YouTube. It’s mostly for music videos. Google can fuck itself to death.
Trump appears to be fundraising off of his hush-money pre-sentencing interview on Monday
Republicans are stupid. Unfortunately, they’re not quite too stupid to live. They might drag us all down with them, though.
Targeted, individualized, advertising should be illegal. This will gut a lot of the motivations for the privacy invasions and data harvesting. This is how advertising worked for thousands of years. I think it could continue to be just fine.
The amount of resources humanity is spending on targeted advertising is extremely depressing when you consider the opportunity cost. There are thousands of engineers and product managers that spend all day on this stuff instead of anything useful.
I am going to get a lot of use out of that URL.
I’ve been telling people they need to put a dollar in the jar when they do that, but I haven’t actually been enforcing it.
Wow those people are scum bags. They call it “so called climate change”
I understood that reference
I’m out of the loop. What?
Seems reasonable, but Republicans would have spent decades capturing that system and we’d end up in a similarly bad position. The problem is conservatives have shit ideas and want them to be law. Unless we fix that, any system will be corrupted.
