Which way are things trending where you are today? The cost to surveil is going down at a tremendous rate so it is just a matter of time before someone decides to pay to surveil you and then sell their insights or take advantage of them. I don't think it's possible for politicians to keep up with the rate of tech advancement. Did you ever watch a congressional hearing in the US on any technology realated subject? It's a comedic bit.

Why are people so keen on evening out geographical representation, why not age, or gender, or sexual orientation, able bodiedness or some other arbitrary measure like left handedness?

I think if any measure should be focused on getting equal representation its class. But guess which class is both by far the largest, but still has the least representation. Perhaps it is the purpose of arbitrary drawing of districts to keep it that way.
Facial recognition helps catch criminals.

Young people can be criminals too. And if the police catch them while still juvenile, they might have more of a chance to turn their life around.

Young people can also go missing, and facial recognition of security cams could help find them.

I honestly can't see any reason why children shouldn't be included like everyone else.

It goes without saying that a conviction should never depend on computer matching, and that safeguards need to be in place to prevent abuse and limit to legitimate law-enforcement purposes.

But trying to locate suspects or victims in the first place? Children are no less important here than adults.

What of the much greater potential harm of allowing non-compliant CA's? A CA's 'customers' are not just the people it sold certs to but also everybody on the internet who uses a browser. One way to read this incident is as a story of this inherent divided loyalty.
Except DNA and Fingerprints are far less accurate than you’re led to believe [1]. Having worked with DNA, contamination is likely insanely probable and I doubt the validity of all cases it is used as the only piece of hard evidence (it’s alright circumstantial evidence).

The greater question has to do with what our rights are. The reality is, our system has been setup such that everyone commits crimes. By applying highly effective methods, you’re essentially enslaving the population. That’s why we had laws protecting freedom of speech and unreasonable search and seizure. The U.S. was setup to be particularly sensitive to those issues. The reason they are in the constitution is it was believed government would eventually try to chip away at the freedom and it did.

That’s why people are concerned. Their duty is to keep the peace. That does not necessarily mean or need to mean spying 24/7.

I mean if you live in one of the biggest city of your country, want a kid and a big flat next to metro station yeah you're going to have a hard time. But that's true for any era and any city. You can't cut a pie in 8 slices and share it with 10 000 people.

Why not scale down, move a bit out of the city, have some nature for your kid, get a small EV, and save money ?

You might also want to vote for people who don't allow their own city to be bought by foreign investors. The same thing is happening in paris and london, real estate isn't for people to live in anymore, it's pure financial assets for the rich. https://realestate.boston.com/buying/2019/07/29/foreigner-bu...
I'm not exactly happy about mass LPR, either.
Also interesting is there was a fairly recent study by the University of Melbourne. They found since 1973 we have tracked the predicted measures of "business as usual" quite remarkably.

Presumably the documented higher risk of false positives outweighs the "advantages" of catching a couple of kids doing what kids usually do.
Multitasking doesn't exist but distractions certainly do. This is one of the reasons I've stopped using multi-monitor setups.

My preferred set up is a large 4k monitor. If I can work with one application set to full screen, I'm happy. Normally though I end up with my editor taking up the left half to two thirds of the screen and the right section contains a browser or terminal.

I use virtual desktops and on my second screen I have my music player and all the messaging apps and email that I need. I flip to that desktop probably three times a day.
It’s anonymous data. I don’t see how getting data on which applications are getting hits and around what times they occur is violating anyone’s privacy.

If 160 BC is the Roman era, then sure we agree. But it straddles the Bronze Age and in fact it's almost definite that the mechanism discovered was merely one in a long line of such mechanisms and that first invention dated to Archimedes (c.272-205 BC). In any event, it's not Roman and thus the post should have read "Roman era." To call it a Roman device is simply inaccurate in any context.
This does lend credence to my perception that Terminal is faster. I know everybody else love love loves iTerm2, but I could never get past the feeling of "ugh I am typing in molasses what is going on here." Later versions have been better, but later versions of Terminal have also had more functionality. It's possible I still don't know what I'm missing, but so far the must have features I've tried apparently just weren't ones I must have. (Yes, I know about split panes, but I can run tmux. Yes, I know about iTerm2's tmux integration and I tried it and it was kind of [shrug emoji] for me, I dunno. Terminal has a find-on-page feature and I so far haven't been saddened it doesn't support regex. My shell has autocomplete and iTerm hasn't sold me on its implementation being better. Alfred has a clipboard history and iTerm hasn't sold me on its implementation being better. And so on.)

> there exists local and deterministic evaluation rule that will compute consecutive states of the universe

If this is the correct meaning of superdeterminism, then it doesn't make sense. Saying that there are some unknown rules that explain something is not a scientific theory.

You can solve the quantum gravity problem saying that there are some unknown rules that explain that. You can solve the renormalization problem saying that there are some unknown rules that explain that. You can solve everything saying that there are some unknown rules that explain that.

Compile workload seems to benefit from HT in general.

In our software build process (extremely parallel g++ of around 9000 files, often cached by ccache), we have benchmarked with all threads, and with just 1 thread per core (via "taskset", not via BIOS disabling of HT), and if we don't use the second thread on each core offered by HT, we lose 20% performance.

These results are from some old CPUs (i7-4930K) and some new CPUs (TR 1950x); the 20% figure is based on the i7, and I don't have the figure handy for the TR, but I believe it showed more benefit.

I can help you with small to medium web projects! I have a network of freelancers that can help me on larger projects, including very talented and experienced designers and project managers. Hourly or project-based is fine. Not looking for relocation or employment (unless you have my dream remote job).

Full-stack, leaning towards back-end. Product focus from years of experience working with/for startups. Clear communication (in English or Swedish, my French is not great yet).

I'm 33 years old, have 12 years+ professional dev. experience (coding for 20+ years). MSc. Computer Science/Engineering. I've been freelancing remote for over two years. Love web projects, but I also really like the "weird" projects - examples from my history: hack the storage backend for Riak to repair a broken cluster (Erlang); automate parts of web-based workflow for an agency (Chrome extension).

I'm certainly no Jon Skeet, but my profile is in the top 3% globally on Stack Overflow.

They are young and learning and deserve a chance to better themselves without being hassled by computers. Also, what chance has facial recognition to match a 11 year old kid three years later? It quickly becomes useless data, don't you agree?
Evidence from someone who has experience with particular medical condition, who has been living with it for years, is not 'ancedotal', it is local knowledge. It might not be accurate, but it's often a good place to begin actual scientific investigation. This isn't a wild statement; it's something I've personally suspected for years, and I'd like to see research around.

But just pointing this out cost me -2 karma, which is -- again, anecdotally -- an example of how Hacker News is a toxic environment for marginalized folks.

I'd love to see some studies on that too.
The American Justice system is dehumanizing.

If you never have been involved as a 'criminal' in the USA court system it's a really huge culture shock and extremely dismaying to be treated as human refuse for the first time.

Most of the time we spend our time surrounded by people who care about us in one way or another. Your friends, your family, your partners, etc etc.

Even out in public the people you meet tend to have a reason to care about you. They are serving you or you are serving them for money.. so you have some reason to care. Even if you don't know them personally and they are a complete stranger there is almost always some reason, typically money, to be polite and take them into consideration. Even if it's phony it's still caring to a certain extent.. otherwise why put the effort into even being phony?

But when you are in jail or involved as a criminal... They have no such reason to give a crap about you. It's their day job. They get paid the same whether you are there or not.

In the court system you are treated with the same regard by court officials as a janitor would treat a full trash can. You are something that needs to be dealt with before lunch.

Sure if you are young or cute or innocent looking and it's your first time.. then maybe a Judge would be bemused with you and give you a break... But by and large you are just a impediment between now and when they need to visit the restroom or eat a sandwich.

You could be innocent, you could be guilty. It doesn't matter. Whether or not you are treated fair or not it's not relevant to them. You are just part of a process that needs to be processed. A button that needs to be pushed, some paper work that needs to be filled out. Some statistic that needs to be entered.

........

You going to court for some crime may be the most important day in your life. It could mean the difference between spending the next few years of your life in comfort with friends and family... or being stripped of all your rights, dignity, money, career, car, property, house.. and thrown in jail for 6 months or a year and then leaving with no prospects to basically be homeless after dealing with a divorce.

But for the other people in court? Chances are they won't even be able to recognize your face or remember you name in a day or two. You don't even be a memory. You are less relevant then the guy that sold them chicken nuggets for lunch.

If you are wealthy you could afford a lawyer who does have a reason to care and will give them reasons to care because he knows the court process and knows how to make it a big PITA to just brush you off... But that is not really relevant for most Americans.

And on the Federal level they typically try to freeze your accounts so you can't afford a proper defense anyways. Makes their jobs easier.
> People don't have time to research every single choice in their lives. At some point you just go with brand trust. Advertising establishes brand trust.

This is a non-sequitur. Brands existed long before advertising, and regardless they aren't the only way to solve the problem of choosing what to buy.

If you really care about making things easier for purchasers, you'd be eager to eliminate advertising, which a) adds a great deal of confusion and distraction, and b) reduces the value of earned brands in favor of whomever can spend the most money.

Wrong. Turkey has vast oil resources[0] but they are unexploited due to current oil&gas pipeline treaties. As can you see in [0], European part and South of Turkey is full of oil reserves. More reserves are available in the shores.

We'll find something else for them to do. Something that isn't just systemic waste.

A good example for me comes from SF's MUNI system. For decades, they had people whose job it was to track bus arrival times so that schedulers had good data to work from. Eventually, the buses all got computer+GPS devices so they could be tracked continuously. Should we have refused to enable those because of the job losses?

I say no. There's no point in having people doing something wasteful just to protect jobs. Where we find systemic waste, we should eliminate it and shift the people to doing something actually valuable. To say otherwise is a variant on the Broken Window Fallacy.
Can you test Kitty as well?
That is because what you are referring to as "one particular subset of the population who aren't generally allowed specific representation" does not need any help in making sure they have representation. One, they are not (currently) a minority and two, they have the vast majority of the power in this country already.

So no, it isn't interesting.
> The real question is how many of those random people could conclusively clear themselves with an alibi

No, that's not the real question. The real question is how frequently such people would even exist in the first place, which is what I was asking. We're not trying to find solutions to non-problems here.

Sometimes when you get all the equipment, it can encourage usage, just like military gear to police, or large databases gained from surveillance that make detective work way too easy.

I feel like law enforcement has relied on data from surveillance for so long that everyone has forgotten real detective work and there is just lots of data noise and toys they are using to up budgets, in the end it might be the end of us.

The point is that the risks are much lower if there's not a database storing this information to be leaked in the first place.

The whole "if you don't want to go to jail, don't commit crimes" line of thinking really falls apart when you realize that the legal system is well beyond the ability for a layman to navigate on a day to day basis and gets even worse when you have a perfect surveillance state capable of seeing and storing massive amounts of data.
First of all, there is a strict process in proving that someone is a homosexual in Saudi Arabia. It’s not as simple as “here’s some pictures of this guy leaving a gay club, execute him”. If it were that easy the system would be rife for abuse obviously, especially in an age where any image can be faked or taken out of context. Second, you can simply deny the images were even real, or that it was not you, and further increase the burden of proof required.
