Probably a lot but how does burning a car solve that problem? Let’s solve problems with solutions that actually work for everyone. The police problem? Get rid of or prosecute bad policemen. Burning car problem? Put people in jail and make them pay restitution for burning cars.

Pretty shitty values if you ask me. 

You would if that was your Ford Taurus. And, by the way, it is your Taurus, or rather the people’s Taurus. The people of Philadelphia bought and paid for that car. Why should they have to shell out more money to buy a new one? If she wanted to torch a car she could have started with her own, assuming she owns a car. 

That’s a good question and one similar to what I have. How can this tech be “racially” biased? First, if you look at the people working on this tech I would bet it’s a fairly racially diverse group of people. In other words I suspect it’s not just a bunch of white guys. Therefore I assume the bias isn’t coded on…

Typically those embargoes against selling products to certain countries outside the US are based on things like helping to develop nuclear weapons or things that might be used against us in a time of war. I don’t know that facial recognition would fall into either of those categories.

Like I said, why deny the value…

First, a law in the US is only good for the US. Doesn’t do much for the rest of the world. Second, why make something illegal instead of fixing it? Are you suggesting that facial recognition cannot be made to be racially neutral? This technology seems like it has some uses so why ban it?

That’s a non-starter for a lot of people. 

I think that applied both ways doesn’t it? 

For those states only Florida has any meaningful downward trend before moving upwards again. Texas, NC, Cali and AZ have all been mostly upwards for some time. Texas has had some declines before returning right back to an increasing rate but they were generally short lived.

You can look up the graphs if you want. There are many states that are trending downward as well. The overall trend is down, and sure, NY has a lot to do with that. Then again look at Alaska, a state mentioned here. First their case numbers have been flat for a week, stuck at 13/day on average. 13, seriously? And they…

Yes, Florida has had an upward trend for the past 2 weeks which is not good. Yet Georgia has not see any upward movement nor has Colorado. The trend is down, we’ve gone from ~1600/day to 800/day in the last 30 days. I’d say that’s pretty significant especially since we’re down by nearly 2/3rds the peak of just over…

The trend as of 6/11 is down 20% below 1,000/day average, that’s a bit more than slightly. Looking at individual day numbers is a fools game. Delays in reporting, revised reports and inconsistent reporting from the many sources make a single day’s reports useless.

Trends are what matters and we are trending down. We…

Under “normal” circumstances you have a lot of people covered by their workplace insurance. No, it’s not perfect, but with massive unemployment and business failures comes even more people who cannot afford health care. That’s my point.

There are lots of reasons why people have underlying conditions but smoking,…

I suppose some people are being cavalier about the deaths. I don’t think of people as disposable but at the same time we have to balance those illnesses and deaths against the reality that you can’t lock people in their homes forever. That can and will have some long term ill effects both economically as well as…

While I do not support what they are doing, I really do hope no one gets killed. Protest is one thing and they have a list of demands which, frankly, they should be supporting candidates at the polls who will support these demands instead of causing harm to people and businesses in the city.

The government of Seattle…

You really should educate yourself. An abandoned building? How about a police precinct? Populace of the city, really? If they live here why don’t they go home to their houses or apartments?

You do realize this is going to end in bloodshed, right?

I’ll remind you of the time you and your widdle friends were triggered when a group of people took over a wildlife refuge in Oregon a few years ago. I don’t think you have any high moral ground to stand on here.

It’s true that some people have long term health issues though I think we’re still learning what those are and how many people are impacted.

Not to dive down a rat-hole but other diseases also cause long term health problems. Indefinitely locking down the country is not a solution and even that comes with it’s own set…

I agree, the data is not a clean as we would like. My point about deaths versus infections is that I hope people care more about people dying than just getting sick. People get sick, as I’m sure you know better than me, but if they don’t die or have long term problems it’s less of a problem. Since we don’t have a…
