I hope they consider reforming independently. Value comes from the workers and they were valuable. I’d definitely contribute/pay for them.

The investigation concluded “there was no definitive evidence that WCI correctional custody, maintenance, or medical staff failed to perform their duties in such a manner that contributed to the death of Inmate Healy (sic).”

It’s one of those no-fault dehydration deaths of an inmate fully under the control of the state. They did everything right and he just somehow didn’t get water, wellness checks, or treatment.

Imagine if this was a child, another class of citizen that is assumed to be the responsibility of someone else who basically controls their lives and needs. The guardian, who doesn’t have a full time paying job with training and oversight about caring for them, nor a network of cameras and logged activities, would be assumed to be negligent and put on trial in both court and the media.

That’s not what the problem is. It only fools systems that just feed the image straight into a race recognition model without trying to correct for it. You don’t need to even retrain the model, just use basic image processing to color swap the tattoo before the model even gets it. The tattoos are easy to isolate computationally.

Facemasks work great. There’s a reason the gestapo are using them.

People like the makeup because it looks like a cool cyberpunk future, but the moment a pipeline is designed to compensate for made up faces it will fail. Simple image processing can replace makeup hues and yield a roughly true color unobscured face.

Schumer whipped them for a funding bill, but not the Big bill that increased ICE’s funding by a lot. That one passed with a bare majority and Republican defections. I think it they’d stayed strong them the Republicans might have needed to use their one bare majority bill on that and they could have resisted the later bill.

But he’s just such a colossal failure and should be removed as leader and then from office next year. Democrats in leadership just fail and fail and never get removed.

What federal voting form? Elections are run by the states.

Them they don’t need to have “official” thugs to do their dirty work (along with the weak culpability) and can just call up the brown shirts.

Do all the things they tell you not to do on your passport and driver’s license photos.

The Peace Prize has never been about whether you’re smart. She’s a pro business right winger. She wants to be the puppet fascist.

Yes, that’s what happens when you break a contract, but that doesn’t mean the contract just says you have to do something and you have no other options.

“Only for threatening innocent people through, when you’re all used to you’ll have to find your own to finish the job.”

The link for “Customs and Border Patrol agent” goes to fucking careers dot CBP dot gov. Whatever news outlet that is is doing recruitment advertising in an article about a suicide.

Also, leases can be broken. They’re just contracts.

They know who you claim to be and are checking whether your face matches that passport photo. They’re not just letting anyone in who looks like one of the 330M Americans.

Unless you want to sanitize your phone or risk the US government taking information off it, yes. You can get a burner phone pretty cheap. Don’t sign into any accounts before crossing the border.

My company has given clean phones and computers to employees before international travel for a little while now, and snooping in other countries hasn’t been as guaranteed as in the US now.

Facial recognition probably relies on visible wavelengths, but you could probably train a neural network to plausibly convert an IR image to visible if paired with a visible light image of the unmasked portion. While generated images on their own aren’t useful for recognition, I think an IR image would probably give enough information to make the generation useful.

All face recognition is unreliable though, so no one, especially not a government agency, should use it as a single point of proof about the actual identity of the photographed person.

At some point we need to just accept this is an inevitability and plan strategy with that in mind. Avoiding providing anything that could be justification can be useful to but time and build support or preparations, but it’s not a stance that can just work indefinitely, because they will simply keep doing more extreme actions to try to provoke a reaction. Even if it takes public executions by masked agents of the regime to finally trigger the response, if they want to make violence happen, they can.

Jesus. “Residents gathered corpses from the woods”. The cops didn’t even have an official operation to collect all the people they killed.

I’ve seen multiple people comment on Trump’s White House destruction that Obama spent $375 MILLION to install a basketball court. Claims don’t even have to be remotely realistic for this to work.

This is UPS, a private business, not USPS, a weird Frankenstein creation that’s kind of a business and kind of a government service.
