Sounds like a business opportunity "Buy SocialScore!". You can create a sevice where you pay a fee montly, and they buy diapers in your name (and sell in a shop) and inform you of the current score. And give you advices how to raise it. Sounds like gamification to me.

I read this thread to educate myself. I know very little about china, and I think is important to get some information from that area of the world. The in-fighting in this thread confuse me. But I think is a small price we have to pay to fight propaganda or biased opinions. I am thankful to everyone in this thread for giving these small snippets of vision of what is china and whats goin on in china.

Or you use this to detect people that is hidding weapons. Maybe detect and log people movements around the city, store that path encrypted, and restore if after a crime is committed and a person is suspicious. It will result in innocent people getting free instantaneously. If the system shows that you where in the other side of the city, the police can safely release you.

Rome was destroyed by a belief lossely inspired by the life of jesus (christianism), so I think empires sometimes are pit against a idea and war against a idea, more than a army. USA was loving scared of communism because it was able to turn a destroyed third world country into a superpower, it made it look like communism was very powerful a idea, infectious. So USA worked hard to kill anyone remotelly leftist in the world. And then Russia collapsed because it failed economycally (Marx idea of value was wrong, or naive). So usa was unopposed superpower in this planet and can destroy other people cities when it snezze, that is the world where we live.

I hope these students realized that communism has a idea, failed. Communism can't really return, without a upgrade, a patch, a fix, ... something. China probably have the right idea to sway somewhat to capitalism and not stay in pure communism land. But I am european, so I believe a mix of socialist and capitalist ideas are better, so I am very biased to think this way.

About the interpol thing. I don't know, I know literal nothing. It seems nations can issue Interpol red alerts to arrest a person, directly.. without passing through Interpol. Some nation-states are abusing the system to capture whistlebloggers and witness. So these can be murdered. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/9ms347/interpol_officer_found_dead_in_russia_apartment/ Interpol should change how it works, and have these request pass by their offices first to stop abuse. But until them theres something going on, none of us know about. Interpol seems to be a good agency working to make our life better and protect the world from the bad guys. But this design allow, maybe, a Saudi governement to issue a arrest for a dude making a porn website, because they don't like porn (they love porn, but only in secret).

The stomach need food, but the brain need braincandy. Millenials whinning about braincandy means that their other needs are served well enough. Is good news.

Bloodnose posted:It's more that you chose the word actively to describe the monitoring, which is not how that works. Almost all the NSA's collection is passive. It only becomes active in certain areas of interest Is don't know if is different in english, but in spanish is different "look at something" and "see something". The NSA or somebody could be filtering trafic for keywords and sending stats back to some server that collect stats from many filters and generate a report that is printed, then nobody look at it. That is completely different than a human being looking at what we actually say and do, trying to find a reason to ruin our life. The difference may be smaller in the future, when AI algorithms will make the filter take decisions by itself (like triggering a alarm). CCTV cameras everywhere is not really a privacy risk if nobody is looking at the video. CCTV cameras + a AI vision algorithm that detect faces, and generate a timestamped log of where is everyone + a system that automatically report a 1 second violation of a Restraining order = nightmare dystopia. I doubt at this point the NSA is doing much with the capture data. Some pretty graphics in excel for some middle managers in the offices.

Ideology is a façade. Is not about capitalism, comunism, the oposite or all of it. Is about how much the citizens can tolerate from power hungry politicians. You cant govern a nation if the people dont agree with your ideas “You can build a throne of bayonets, but you can't sit on it for long.” Boris Yeltsin Tei fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Apr 26, 2019 |

RocknRollaAyatollah posted:I could see Xi's leadership going that route since he's making a big cult of personality but no leader before him could have really done that, had that happen, because they were bland on purpose to prevent another scenario like this. As the paramount leader moves more to being an embodiment of the state, as opposed to the steward of the state, we'll probably see more weirdos climbing the ranks because they gave good reviews of Xi's latest opus. Let me, the most oblivious naive person in this forum, be the one to say it loud: if that happens, it would be really bad for the future of China. Not bad in "the house will burn" but bad in the "the trash will not be collected in time, making the whole house stink, and anything that breaks, will continue broken and not get fixed" sense.

Nobody asked, but let me give my opinion of social credit: Social credit is a bad thing. Go watch the TV serie "The Wire". Wen humans are forced to satisfy a statistic, they game it, the statistic start to look better, but is often at the sacrifice to the real thing. Game score is a thing that will not make people better citizens, will get in the way, and sometimes will be between people and a healthy life. https://medium.com/@roshanrevankar/juking-the-stats-5926eaf5464

Here in Spain healthcare is free. I don't remember ever paying anything. Being free mean the quality is not that high, but is modern medicine to the standards a modern country. Theres the option of private healthcare systems, that since compete with a free one they are usually cheap too (I believe). My country already figured this out, and is one of the most advanced in a few medicine areas. I hope other countries like USA copy our SOCIALIST system ( :

I am wrong here? is a good model, good for china. The take over of the politics and legal of china seems rushed and poorly implemented. Somebody in the china government want HK to merge with the normal china sooner or ignoring acords. This chinese clumsiness is strange. Theres something I don't know, .... theres a lot I don't know.

If there were Chinese ones I don't think he would send them to me so I only get the see the English speaking side of this. I think many people day-dream of a apocalypse because we are not happy with how our societies work and we suspect theres a better way to do things. Is called "apocalypse porn" and some people are more into it than others. Usually people want this: - A society more connected to nature. I think they want trees and ponds and being able to walk to work. - No taxes or put taxes out of view. - A free agenda, so you can do a thing today and a completely different yesterday. We all just waiting for germany philosophers to invent a new political system that would support the above, since capitalism and communism failed.

Franks Happy Place posted:So what kind of Marxism is this, then? Here is my uneducated opinion: It could be justificable if it where really to build a better society for everyone. But is really corporations running on a society with few checks and a culture that support this type of exploitation. China could do a better work here, and probably they will... working more hours maybe work on factory work, but I don't think is that great an idea in service industries. I heard China workplace culture is slighly better than the Japanese one, so we can't blame the political system... just next to china theres a democratic country where workplace culture is even worse. We can, we can blame China for this abuse of human beings. But maybe is more constructive to see why they are like that, why they allow this to happen.

punk rebel ecks posted:I wonder why countries such as Japan, Korea, and China struggle so much with immigration? Why would people much rather go to United States, U.K., Singapore, or even South Africa compared to say Japan, Korea, or China? Imo: Japan is very strict with immigration. They are fierce defendants of their culture and like uniformity (everyone dressing the same way, hair and hair color). Where immigration kinds of brings the oposite values. Cosmopolitanism is about everyone having their own way to do things, and respecting that, getting joy from that even. China language is very hard, and the written form even more.

no hay camino posted:If China wanted to be properly socialist they would remove housing from being considered private property altogether. If that led to more investment in foreign real estate by Chinese citizens well that'd be the capitalist countries' problem to deal with; housing being used as an investment vehicle is one of the most harmful and stupid things about capitalism. I fully agree. Like food or water, everyone need to live in a house. But need to be caped by the governement, because houses need utilities like water and energy, and soon people have babies and need schools. So the govenement need to invest in urban areas. The govenement need to control the land that is freed for urban use. Since the supply is controlled, theres not "infinite" supply to force the prices low. Building a house is never something cheap. You have a limited supply and a high (already) price. People "investing" in houses what they are doing is removing houses from a limited pool at price X, then adding them again at price X+1000. Poor poeple that had a huge problem paying X, now can't have a house. If they can't have a house, they don't form a family. If they don't form a family, is future citizens that are stolen from society and economic activity. Money "invested" this way hurt the society and make life hard for poor people. People buying a second or third house with the idea to sell and make a profit are scalpers. A communist govenement need to provide for the citizen needs. Any govenement really, but a communist one more than others. If your system of govenement result on people homeless and less economic activity, a lot of old people and no childrens. Your govenement is a failure.

Is not a good system to have all the power concentrated in one person hands. That and fights for power, I guess.
