These models are weapons whether the frontier provider founders and their trite and lofty mission statements like it or not.

Private individuals and private companies do not get to create a defensive weapon with unprecedented power in a new category in the US and not share it with the US military.

You guys are batshit insane.

Per the "About Me" picture, this particular technologist does not have any hair to tear out.

Why not just look at the code and see if it's good or not?

> Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist

Why the fuck was "LAist" getting federal funding? Glad they're not anymore.

So whenever anyone suggests a racial motive in a specific case, where this is no supporting evidence in that case, your stance is to just go along with it, because racism pervades our society?

He was convicted of murder, I don't question that. He was not convicted of racism.

If it's so obvious and self evident and I've merely ignored the facts, surely you could explain it to me succinctly. You can't, of course, because you don't know why you believe it, and there is reason to believe it.

You're asking me to believe that this man feels a certain way and committed a racist murder based on a general tendency? Even if I grant you the ridiculous premise that this tendency is real, that line of thinking isn't close to sound.

I see I'm getting downvoted here by the typical good dogs, but this has always bothered me about the incident. The racism was presented to us by the media with no explanation, and most people just took it to be fact. No curiosity, no convincing required. I've asked several people, nobody is able to make a case that's even remotely compelling, similar to how you failed to do it here.

> Racism still plays a big part in the Floyd story even if this is true

What makes you think that?

Well for one thing, many of them run content recognition software and report back what you're watching, regardless of whether it's through the "smart tv" software, apple tv, chromecast, etc.

At least let me disable the motion-controlled pointer, good grief.

I will say though, I've only ever owned LG TVs since flat screens came out, and I've never had a problem with the "just don't connect it to the internet" strategy.

I see, so we allow the ideas that you agree with, and ban the ones you don't. FREE SPEECH!
