So much of the future just looks like fancy new ways to make machines legitimize and carry out our racism for us.

We do have legislation to protect genetic information, what we need is to prevent the gathering and distribution of this information in the first place because those laws go away the second someone is positioned to make a shit ton of money from it.

Most of these were trained/tested using third world labor on mechanical turk. It actually helps to approach the problem from that understanding:

"Would a person who speaks English as a second language and who is getting paid less than a penny to decide, call this a motorcycle?"

Dude needs to answer about a million of those to make money, so he's not overthinking it, your knee-jerk answer is probably right.

Must be nice living in countries where the government works for humans instead of corporations.

Sounds like you aren't intelligent enough to understand this. This is why fascists attack schools first, they need people like you.

The complete unwinding of social safety nets, mental health interventions, and educational funding from the Reagan years finally culminated in a completely vulnerable population. Then we began the era of 24 hour news, extremist Identity politics, and just a general erosion of any semblance of shared American identity.

That's a nasty little stew.

This implies that your food won't arrive cold if you do tip, and that hasn't been my experience at all.

This looks like a fluoroscope, basically an X-ray that is constantly turned on. The tech is looking at a live X-ray view, not a film transparency.

The radiologic exposure for both of them is orders of magnitude higher than a normal x-ray that we think about. A normal xray exposes you for less than a second, this is bombarding him with X-rays the entire time he is standing there.

The whole point of having communities is to establish a focus of discussion. You wouldn't come in here to talk about flower arranging.

This was a computer for idiots even when it came out.

Probably because it's targeted at working class adults instead of housewives and retirees like most American propaganda.
