Appropriate responses may be a verbal warning over the loudspeaker, calling the police or welcoming a resident home for the evening. Our approach of using both artificial and human intelligence allows for a safe and comfortable solution and all of this is done utilizing the cameras you already have installed. its a good thing proprietary machine learning systems arent known for any kind of systematic bias problems right guys guys

Trainee PornStar posted:I agree.. I genuinely think being able to read a book & comprehend the story is a vital part of developing your brain. In the 19th century people called reading novels a frivolous, brain-wasting exercise that distracted young men and women with flights of fancy, afflicted them with daydreams, and generally corrupted them away from a proper life. https://crimereads.com/when-the-novel-was-dangerous/ quote:Novels took the noble pleasure of reading and made it something quick and dirty. They told exciting stories in simple prose, not poetry. Their heroes were not kings or demigods, but maidservants and mariners, who instead of going on magical quests faced the inward challenges that readers knew from their own lives. Accordingly, the English novel of the 18th century is virtually all sex and social climbing, set in haunted castles later on. The reputation of the books was low, but circulating libraries kept their addict audience supplied. So I think the two ways you can interpret this are either a) we're just on an endless downward spiral into sinfulness and ereaders and twitter are just the latest steps into vice in a long chain or b) this is just the latest idiotic moral panic about the degeneracy of the youth's idle activities from people who remember When Things Were Done Better.

SchnorkIes posted:Everything else aside I think being able to actively engage with long form written media is a crucial skill bc the most deeply abstract or technical stuff can basically only be transmitted that way and you'll always need to hit the books/html walls o text to fill in gaps or deep dive, tho other stuff is great for introductory or supplemental I mean throughout history the primary means of transmitting abstract and technical skills and concepts has been orally from teacher to students, master to apprentice or mentor to mentee, but sure, uphold our rotting system that spends more time simultaneously vomiting and making GBS threads garbage to the tune of billions of useless words describing thousands of poorly designed studies and laughably empty position papers hashed and rehashed in an endless clout-chasing circlejerk as the only way to reproduce knowledge. It's the end of history after all. Plus you'll never get a job as a computer toucher unless you can read a word doc, produce broken software in between watching episodes of My Hero Academia on your other monitor, and then strategically blame the document for your failures, and that's the difference between life and death in our society.

Tempora Mutantur posted:I think this is beyond company towns and we're approaching Real Shadowrun Corporate Extraterritoriality Under this structure they could create a bunch of crimes in the zone like jaywalking, unpaid parking tickets, etc. and then arrest you with corporate cops, hold you in corporate jail, find you guilty in corporate court, and then make you a prison slave who accrues a running bill for the cost of all of this and can never get out until you pay it off on your penny a day wage. Like this arrangement legalizes corporate slavery if they want. E: reading this in more detail this is literally a bill to legalize extraterritorial plantations.

So for the normies who are not huge local government debate-havers and unfamiliar with Dillon's Rule and the Cooley Doctrine, there are actually two different and diametrically opposed basic legal philosophies regarding the relationship between state government and local government in the US. The short version is that Cooley Doctrine states have either constitutional provisions or jurisprudence that local government is a freestanding authority and the state is limited in what it can tell them to do (including rulemaking processes and structure of local governments) whereas Dillon's Rule states (inc. Nevada) have the opposite approach that local governments are arms of the state gov and the state is only as constrained when telling them how to work as they make themselves. Allowing a corporate-appointed version of a county government in a Dillon's Rule state is super problematic because it gives corporations a way to bypass the usual prescriptive "state says counties do x" structuring of the local government's form and rules of procedure where it's inconvenient and get a more favorable governance structure. It's not just putting a company in control of the local government, it's allowing them to dictate the form and procedure of the local government in a way that a "regular" local government would be legally prohibited from doing.

JesusIsTehCool posted:As far as solutions, idk. Like the issue is we have demonized the poor for so long in our country average people are convinced unhoused people are all violent mentally ill drug adict rapist. There are like a hundred solutions to getting people off the streets, but there is no political will because most people think homeless people deserve what they get and the would be happy if the government took them out to camps in the desert and killed them quietly. Waking up to way, way too many of the people in my social circles being OK with the brutalization of the homeless this year was a real bucket of cold water for me. The people getting turned into the street right now are out of work service workers and gig economy uber drivers and poo poo who were perfectly able to hold down work and keep an apartment a year ago that just got one too many hits of bad luck this year, and I figured homelessness creeping up the economic ladder would wake people up that this poo poo is not a moral failing. Except that's not what happened and a few of the people I know have actually gotten more accepting of random and cop violence against the homeless as the number of people living outside has exploded here. And all I can do is  at them and go, "What the gently caress do you think is the endgame here when you're not able to give any more of your blood for a billionaire's profit margin?"Just totally lacking in basic human empathy or even the ability to project forward into the future and see the situation of the homeless as something that could happen to a lot of loving people including them if the economy gets bad enough and/or if they just get a run of bad luck personally. Unable to connect their own need for government help like healthcare or schools to the needs that other people have to be supported by the community while they unfuck their lives. Dunno man, the anti-poor people propaganda in this country is so loving strong that I feel like mass deprivation is going to be a prerequisite for most people putting 2 and 2 together on this.

Another thing I've found endlessly frustrating is the way that people have been coached that in-kind donations means "get rid of your garbage" by the "regular" donation charities. Like you think that a newly homeless person wants to deal with your ratty five year old clothes and broken camping gear? Or that a mutual aid group wants to sort through trash bags of random poo poo you wanted to get rid of? The idea that people might need brand new purpose-bought poo poo to survive rather than whatever loving trash you have in your basement - and that you might have to buy it retail - is taken as offensive. Meanwhile the same people can't go camping without a thousand dollars in goretex to protect their tender fleshy bits and a thousand dollar tent.
