Thanks for taking up the USPol OP, Comrade. I wish to recommend Matt Taibbi's 'The Divide' for books relevant to inequality and regulatory capture. Fried Chicken, thank you for all your hard work, as well, and to everyone for helping keep me abreast of the suicidally-depressing goings on in this country.

14%? Pbbbbt. Tax it at 140%, and if they can't pay up,  , debt bondage. See how those literal monsters like it.

We're having a debate on whether your more advanced models of television set can eavesdrop on consumers and send the recordings to a server for future use in extra-legal persecution or extortion. What? You say they can't? Boy, am I relieved! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my query honestly, this is sure to put to bed all the unending rumors of universal electronic surveillance by the military-industrial complex that are always found to be worse than feared weeks to decades after official sources deny them!"

UFOTofuTacoCat posted:I'd love to see how awesome this TV's speech recognition is considering solutions like Dragon dictation software have to be trained to recognize your utterances accurately. The next big thing is supposed to enlist AI to do speech recognition. Yes, 15 years ago, I'd've regarded such opinions as batshit lunacy, but here we are. Edit to clarify: I agree that there's no reason to process recordings locally, there's all the time in the world for NSA interns to transcribe every last breath uttered in the vicinity of their microphones. Lol, "going to." Everything else in the book has come true, hasn't it? vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Tubgoat fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Feb 10, 2015 |

Nonsense posted:intellectual conservative Excellent name/post combo. Seriously, what is an intellectual conservative? Because if it's merely a borderline-intelligent right-winger, there's a lot more of them, primarily identifying as libertarians and/or actively destroying our planet.
