Who Owns Your Face?
Advertising companies, tech giants, data collectors, and the federal government, it turns out.
Your face is yours. It is a defining feature of your identity. But it’s also just another datapoint waiting to be collected. At a time when cameras are ubiquitous and individual data collection is baked into nearly every transaction a person can make, faces are increasingly up for grabs.
Experts have been warning against facial-recognition systems for decades. The F.B.I.’s latest facial recognition tools give the agency the ability to scan millions of photos of ordinary Americans. “To be clear, this is a database—or a network of databases—comprised primarily of law-abiding Americans,” said Congressman Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, in a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on Wednesday. “Eighty percent of the photos in the F.B.I.’s facial recognition network are of non-criminal entries.” The F.B.I. is able to access images from driver’s licenses in at least 18 states, as well as millions of mugshots.
“Most people have no idea that this is happening,” said Alvaro Bedoya, the executive director of the Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown Law, in testimony at the hearing. “The latest generation of this technology will allow law enforcement to scan the face of every man, woman, and child walking in front of a street surveillance camera… Do you have the right to walk down the street without the government secretly scanning your face? Is it a good idea to give government so much power with so few limits?”

P'heater...your credibility is undermined by your constant trolling of Thom.
Thom never endorsed Trump, nor has he acted like a racist in the posts I've seen.
I have issues with him on social and economic policies, but I've never seen anything racist from him.

“The real price of everything
“The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it. What everything is really worth to the man who has acquired it, and who wants to dispose of it or exchange it for something else, is the toil and trouble which it can save to himself, and which it can impose upon other people. What is bought with money or with goods is purchased by labour as much as what we acquire by the toil of our own body. That money or those goods indeed save us this toil. They contain the value of a certain quantity of labour which we exchange for what is supposed at the time to contain the value of an equal quantity. Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all the wealth of the world was originally purchased; and its value, to those who possess it, and who want to exchange it for some new productions, is precisely equal to the quantity of labour which it can enable them to purchase or command.”

Don't mind a li'l BD from
Don't mind a li'l BD from time to time. Not my fave, but it's in the rotation. We just made the decision to have one of our outdoor 10 this season be a BD. Also gonna have Trainwreck, White Russian, SSH, Sour Diesel, something we call Silver Snake, a clone from a last year seedling of unknown parentage, and then 3 new (to us) varieties - Durban Poison, Crater Lake, and Triple Berry.

My favorite strains are Free
My favorite strains are Free Dispensary, Free Amateur Homegrown, Free Edible and whatever my friends have for barter.
Bu only if those are all crossed with Romulan Clown Shoes. The Red Shoes not the Brown Shoes.

^no, not at all.
^^no, not at all.
blue dream is just a large yielding strain that certain growers love to produce to send (a lot of the times) out east. it's not elite. watered down genetics. no depth, lack of character, weak terpenes (which have their own benefit aside from thc, cbd, etc.). it's a money maker.
and elite doesn't mean it gets you wasted. it certainly can, but there's much more nuance to it. you can have low thc, or easy daytime strains that are made up of elite genetics.

"Seen And Not Seen"
He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by
force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The
change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so....
Gradually his face would change its' shape....A more hooked nose...
Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead.
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
people....They had also molded their faced according to some
ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their
personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear-
ance....This is why first impressions are often correct...
Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have
arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them....
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way
there, and then changed their minds.
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.
