— Open Blogger The ONT refreshing has become ummm, farkled and maddeningly slow, so let's transfer all the traffic to this thread and start a fresh farkeling.
...one of facial recognition systems' key weaknesses is that they have a hard time detecting - let alone recognizing - a face if it is not looking towards the camera, according to Dr Kilpatrick. "Absolutely the easiest thing you can do is look down at your feet," he concluded. "That won't attract much attention, but because surveillance cameras are generally mounted high up or at least at eye level, it will defeat pretty much any recognition systemThe article spends two pages telling you how disguises and such are pretty worthless against the almighty facial reco software, but saves this nugget for the last paragraph. All those thousands of cameras around London? Decorations.

I'd like to tell you that a politically correct dog agrees with me, but my only dog is a black-and-tan coonhound.

It may also be a continuation of the habit formed by those in a restricted environment.
Looking down is one way to give others more space.
I would think that those who are selected for that duty would have strong habits that automatically give others more space in enclosed spaces.
Like prison and seagoing vessels, long periods of time without outside contact can be stressful. Your private space is constantly being invaded and there is no where to go for very long for relief.
It's what is part of the cause of what' called cabin fever. People experience this when forced for long periods of time to a particular area, are limited or restricted from leaving that area at will and must also occupy the area with the same people.
It can lead to violence and psychological breakdown.
Those who live/work on subs and be stable must use any and all means to afford their shipmates with as much psychological space as possible.
I would assume the stress is even more intense when you are restricted in this way and are in a heightened state of alertness due to the mission of SSSBN's.

Unless the media decides to hang it around the necks of those stupid female senators from new england who voted for it, thus converting the whole deal in to a Republican fiasco.
Which, yes, they will do that, and soon.

Here'z what I think...the Russians survived decades of crushing communistic sit.,..and we can too.
We're not pussies.
We're as hardy as the Russians.
So we'll survive this bullshit and come out on the backside, stronger for it.
Well, that was my addled thinkin on it.

It's the implementation that's gonna be a bitch.

If the states keep up their resistance, that might help keep it at bay until it can be repealed. And, IMHO, it should be repealed.

With a few years of ass raping premium hikes under their belt, even today's supporters are gonna start to soften when their care gets worse and they're paying more for it.
People notice shit like being forced to buy a 5yo used car rather than a new one because their paycheck is that much less.

53 I wish I could remember who said "What government has done, government can undo." I think he was a Rep, and that was around 15 years ago or so.
------
I think that was Newt who said that, Backwards Boy.
"What govt has done, can be undone"....or something like that.
Newt was on a jihad to unfund a lot of bullshit, back then.
The media hated it and hated him for it....but fuckem, he got a lot done, and BJClinton took credit for it.

"This porno, for the Time et al demographic, cannot allow this bit of reality to be shown, because the moment you see Padmakshi or "Megan" at the table it is too real, it undermines the entire sexism thesis and suggests that something else may be going on, it's like watching an awesome gangbang and suddenly noticing all the empty Oxycontin bottles and that they're speaking Serbian."

93 I was wondering why there hadn't been a new post in so long and now he come's out with this zingerfest:
"This doesn't mean Asian women don't experience sexual discrimination, it means that when an Asian woman succeeds, the other women in the office don't get to experience sexual discrimination, so they're left only with sexual harassment. Read it a couple of times, it'll make sense and you won't like it. "

They don't ever get into bra technology in Star Wars, mores the pitty.
This is an area that is sadly lacking in Star Wars, imho.
Most bras are torturous things, you know...with wires and such, poorly fitting and binding and uncomfortable.
I don't like them.
There's nothing in the galaxy, like the freedom of letting the twins free inside the softness of a flannel pajama top.

The UK is a textbook example of why our Founders wanted a Bill of Rights included in the "government-limiting" Constitution. The UK has eroded basic inalienable human rights by degrees until we have a nascent police state, just as Orwell predicted.
