But these cameras do not watch people. They take a picture when they detect a car is going too fast or blows a red light, not constant surveillance.
Speeding ticket like many other crimes are an issue on;y if you are poor. Making presecution more agressive and non-fines based or limiting the cars sold\registered there are probably the quick fixes to this systemic trouble.
It’s a black box we don’t have much info about in this or other states. What makes the overseer abstain from OCRing every car plate and having it’s trajectory mapped at every junction? There are many justifications to do so, like car theft or general tracking of wrongdoers, but with it’s automation comes the understanding that every ride in your car is tracked A to B without you knowing it.
One can find the application to this quote pretty much everywhere, everywhen, even in small personal situations, so once it spread it stuck and outlived the Rome itself because it does correspond to what we sometimes think and do. In soviet times (another dead empire) there were a couple of the same-meaning proverbs, like ‘alarmed, thus got armed (in time)’ I used when I prepared for things like exams, job interviews, long camping trips and stuff, and I’m pretty sure your culture has them too.
I believe that Einstein was very optimistic and said that too early, or dreamed of the future when wars over beliefs, ego or profits aren’t a usual occurence. But we as humanity haven’t arrived there yet. One of the ways this can occur is if we would see the war not worth it for a long time, to get used to it, and Europe mostly got this by now within itself, but not against external threats. As, so it happens, there are still rogue actors who can start their shitty crusade on their border. And if we won’t be so europocentric, the Middle East and Africa and Asia has a lot of war axes dug out for their peers, there are hot and cold conflicts going on even if they aren’t covered in what news sources we can read.
Star Trek: TNG’s first season has a little mention of how we humans came here, through unimaginable wars and atrocities, before we aknowledged that our ways are wrong. I hope, we would be better and won’t see WW3 (or WW4 with sticks and stones as Albert said) play out before we reach something akin to their fantastic future. We may need to come to the parity and agree to tone it all down, and have a century of peace, before we even get into the mentality characters have in this show.
It invents the whole new markets of scratching his back, waving palm leaves and covering it from sun for it’s comfort, making it laugh and entertained, sucking it’s dick and jumping on it, especially by established partners for it just hits different. And it’d make sure there’s a cut throat competition to lick it’s sitting branch. That’d sure breed innovation…
in a face of it being a prequel to the notable scene from the Cosmic Odyssey 2001, when monkeys beat another to death with bones.
If they gave a half of a fuck, they’d have done something. Not in the moment, it’s done already, but in the time since that. But they don’t even aknowledge their documented and publicized all over the world passive role in this shooting. Billions of people know they suck, and they don’t even care to do anything. I don’t know how not to feel a basic shame knowing that about oneself.
Even any personal too, since jumping weather greatly affects our bodies. By 2050 there would be legit victims of Destroy Dick December because these rising heat levels would weaken cardiovascular systems of the participants to the point they wouldn’t go half as far as in 2020 before having a cardiac arrest.
I’m probably an outlier, but I don’t understand the reason of an e-ink device if you put android on it, add colors, add touchscreen and constant connection. Why not just go with amoled if you want all of that? Probably it’s even cheaper.
E-ink is a specific technology that has it’s advantages in powersaving and reduced eye strain, it was never a replacement for our pocket led flashlights we call smartphones. All beauty of it is it can take one physical form and stay in it infinitely before something refreshes it.
It excels at some tasks, and on a custom OS made with it’s quirks in mind can serve as a book or some indicator that would consume that little in years it can as well be a rounding error. Books, digital price tags, the tablets from Star Trek, variable road signs, billboards? If it stays the same before you boot in and change it, that sure has it’s uses.
But no, they want to add complexity to it’s design, add additional battery drain, up the price, to compete with a tech that plays another sport. It’s stupid. Like cracking up nuts with a microscope.
What I personally want is that additional R&D make it cheaper to produce b\w screens, make them sturdy and affordable up to the point we’d give them out in the classrooms for free instead of paperbacks, and for it to become the default device to read long-form un-interactive content, and to use them in devices that don’t refresh too often like some house and car indicators.
I mean, reflected light is less harmful. We aren’t looking directly at the sun for it leaves ghost shapes even after we turn our head, but it’s lights’ reflections is what makes or eyes see. Basic e-Inks don’t emit light, some backlit it from the side, or from the back, but they are still more safe than displays that do work by emmiting light of some color directly to you, and there was a race to reach the wider angle they can do it too, for older devices had colors nearly inverted if seen from the sharp angle.
It’s probably they don’t want to dive nose deep into all individual cases and local shenanigans* about that and probable scams that can occur. You can take other person’s account if you have both password and email access, they don’t oppose that under the table, but they don’t want to be a party in account transit because it makes them responsible for that.
Is it legal what’s described in one’s last words, can these games be lawfully transfered as they are under both legal code and game licensing agreements? If there’s no more living relatives, would Steam transfer your purchases to the government? Or if the inheritance is disputable between two parties, should it decide anything there? They let anything happen as long as they aren’t involved.
