Kindness is Punk

ahh very good, sorry for the misunderstanding.

oh I know they’re not the first ones to get it but I do believe they’re the first ones to put the legal precedent or at least that’s what the article says.

TLDR: New Orleans is poised to become the first U.S. city to legalize real-time police facial recognition surveillance, despite a 2022 ban. The push follows revelations that NOPD secretly used Project NOLA’s 200+ AI cameras for two years, making 34+ arrests without oversight. Proponents argue it’s vital for crime-fighting, citing Bourbon Street shootings and jailbreaks, while critics warn of dystopian privacy erosion and racial bias, referencing wrongful arrests like Randal Reid’s. With 70% public approval but fierce ACLU opposition, the vote could set a dangerous precedent: privatized mass surveillance with zero accountability.

Sucks it had to be like this, really wanted to visit my friends in Florida. They tried to convince me it’d be fine but damned if I’ll support the US right now. Also I’m not rolling the dice on the gestapo.

For the production of the tank itself or the likelihood of environmental impact?

Here is an article about the tank, it appears to still be in the proof of concept stage. As for my conjecture that it would likely have a high carbon impact during production that was based mostly on similar studies ₂ done on the production of cars.

true but we figured out things before like this when computer tech was rapidly changing so I do think it’s possible while definitely having its challenges.

we need an alternative to needing a manufacturer specific part that costs nearly $15,000 and weighing in a ton and requiring a crane to replace.

I guess both? I know climate wise the manufacture of those things cannot be climate friendly.

I think EV battery cells should be standardized and modular to reduce difficulty of replacement and make replacements cheaper and more available so that it could extend the useful lifespan of the car. If you could replace your battery with an off the shelf equivalent used EVs would hold a lot more value.

And Hyundai is making hydrogen powered tanks, what a world. I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

We love GOG here. It makes me sad the amount of devs that don’t release on GOG because I’d buy them in a snap.

This is why I like games where I can combine weaker potions into the more potent equivalent.

Hey, not to be this guy but please don’t forget Rule 1.

Edit: Ahh wait I thought it was a .ml community, in which case rule 1 is be nice.

That’s definitely the most sinister thing about propaganda, that everyone things they’re unaffected by it.

I mean, no company’s your friend but Nvidia have basically been giving consumers testicular torsion for about a decade now.

The unsettling part here is that Russia is the aggressor. If Russia stopped the war tomorrow there would be peace, if Ukraine stopped there wouldn’t be a Ukraine.

So propaganda that glorifies Russia’s role in war is unsettling.

*disclaimer this is on no way an endorsement of any war time propaganda, simply a philosophical observation.

Saying that something is bad is not an endorsement of something else.

I’m not sure I follow.

TL;DR:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to bar government-funded scientists from publishing in several government funded medical journals accusing them of being “corrupt” and controlled by Big Pharma. Instead, he proposed creating HHS-run “in-house” journals, claiming they would become the new gold standard for medical research.

This move risks turning U.S. medical research into a political tool, eroding trust, accelerating the decline of American science and creating an eminent threat to the American healthcare system.
