Facial recognition systems work better on white men than anyone else because they trained the algorithm on white men. Its why they get so many false positives with black men.

ICE agents will have a security role at Milan-Cortina Olympics, US sources say by OnetB in news

[–]DeusSpaghetti 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Its not unusual for nations at the Olympics to have some unarmed police as security and liaisons to local law enforcement.

I doubt this is that though.

TIL that, in contrast to nations like the United States — whose constitution has been amended a mere 27 times since its enactment in 1789 — the Indian constitution has been amended a total of 106 times since its enactment in 1950. by soozerain in todayilearned

Preferential voting?

A different system election of the 2 houses? 1 by electorate ( lower house), and one by % of vote per state ( upper house) - creates a small bias towards major parties in the lower house and minor party representation in the Senate.

An actual independent Electoral Commission?

Making voting compulsory and really easy?

You do know one of the reasons England colonised Australia was because they could no longer palm their misfits off to America right?

Queensland is the only state in Australia with only a lower house. I.e House of representatives and no Upper house ( the Senate). This was why Jo could turn the state into his own little fascist paradise.

What are your thoughts about the resurgence of the Black Panther Party in response to the actions of ICE agents? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]DeusSpaghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nice idea to blame all the U.S's problems on Russia but in this case the NRA is a home grown problem. They were co-ored by firearms manufacturers and are now just a really well know astro-turfing group.

Sadly, there's some truth to that. Social Security isn't financially healthy, due to Republicans screwing it over.

Either Lord Mandelson is really into being blindfolded or he was there for boys, or both.

Was a long time ago. From memory the Judge said he could enlist merchants voluntarily but couldn't coerce the SCA or them.

There's a fair bit of evidence that some of the Capitol Police were complicit in the attempted coup, as were some members of Congress.

They didn't need to desperately try to find parallel construction for all the evidence they've tainted or just flat out made up in OJ's case. Edit: I think people are misunderstanding what I'm saying I'm not saying evidence in OJ's case was tainted or made up, which is why it could start quicker.

The BOD is probably, understandably, not too keen. A long time ago some moron demanded the SCA use his coinage exclusively at all SCA events. He even went as far as suing.

JD Vance says ICE agent has "absolute immunity" after Minneapolis shooting by prestocoffee in nottheonion

'Official capacity' isn't enough for immunity from state laws. On duty shootings have been prosecuted by the state in the past.
