I avoid YouTube and this is the first time I've seen the video. It gave me goosebumps. Downloaded, backed up and tucked away 'for the children', 'because copyright'.
Thank you, too, to Commander Hadfield and everyone else involved.
"The point is that far too often the instantaneous reaction to tragedies is misguided and myopic, focusing on the least sympathetic protagonists and ignoring anything else that doesn't fit the narrative that's easiest to accept. The larger problem is that law enforcement and legislators are especially prone to act on this limited (or willfully ignored) information, and that results in all sorts of questionable actions and terrible laws -- things that negatively affect the general public.

In other words they follow the lead of their national government.
No, saying that "posting your kids is just doubly wrong" is incorrect. The fault lies not with the poster (after all, the picture in question is completely harmless) but with the administrator twisting the law to publicly seek revenge.
Whilst I agree with you that any public figure has to either be utterly meticulous about anything they post on a social media site or downright crazy to do so, in this case it is not the poster that is at fault.
..."In fact, the analysis shows a tremendous number of popular music hits from the US from 1930 to 1960 are available in what's likely an authorized (i.e., monetized) fashion, ..."
Would those be music hits from before 1972? Oh! So they are. Now I wonder why they're not being challenged...
Kinda, but as has been said many times before, Google can't imprison, torture or execute me. I could put up with customised ads if it was a straight fight between the two. I think it'd be a toss-up who won as well.
It may well be a comparatively good hit rate compared to other facial recognition systems, that's not the problem. The problem is that a system with an error rate of 20% is/will be viewed as as good as a fingerprint match because computers. Combine that with stuff like Gorgon Stare -

and you end up with Guantanamo Bay full of US citizens detained without trial for undisclosed reasons.
The USAF seems to have pulled funds from the program for FY-13, but given the metadata requirement for Gorgon Stare I'm sure you can think of another agency that would be willing to take it up. It's cheap, too.
I read a similar article elsewhere yesterday, and as someone that's been playing all kinds of games for almost 40 years (and who *hated* the 'violent games make kids violent' BS), I have to say it's intuitively correct -
Badly designed games piss me off. Well designed games are at least cathartic and at best make me happy. Even if I'm blowing away everything in sight.

Thanks for the link and heads-up, Mike

TY. I'm not given to trigger words or over-reacting, but that's plain old filth. Gurry is a sham of a homo sapiens.
@Timothy Geigner
You owe me a new keyboard for the pic and caption. Bravo, sir, bravo.
Re: Gangs
Which would then justify further unconstitutional actions against terrorists and anti-US organizations 'to protect our citizens'.
See how that works?

Sorry.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

I think it would be a major public benefit if anyone running for a public office had to take an IQ test and score at least 100.
