      Seriously scary.

      I think it's kind of interesting

      Facial recognition used to pull data that "might" be about you to determine if you can go to work.... eek.

        Additionally, he says, "The government isn't rating people. It's done by a third party. We share government data and they decide what it means."

        That's like the US handing over money to the Fed... ug..

          I'm applying an "It's not me" mentality. I've never seen anything like it in the world so we'll see where it goes.

                            A little light reading. What jumps out at me is there are zero modern day QB's that are in the list. Rules now enforced make it so easy on the receivers. That's why when I see QB records fall, it's like watching HRs in the steroid era.

                                  Here it is:

                                  http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/04/nyregion/lirr-derailment-atlantic-terminal-brooklyn.html

                                  A Long Island Rail Road train crashed at a major transportation hub in Brooklyn during the morning rush on Wednesday, injuring over 100 people and disrupting the commute for thousands of people, the authorities said.

                                  Officials said the train rammed into a bumper as it pulled into the Atlantic Terminal station in Downtown Brooklyn around 8 a.m., knocking at least the front two cars off the tracks.

                                  Donette Smith, 55, who was on the train, said people had begun to stand in the aisle as the train moved into the station. Then an “extremely hard” jolt sent everyone falling to the floor. “People just went flying,” she said. “Bodies were everywhere. It was very scary.”

                                  The passengers emerged to find the station filled with smoke. “I couldn’t see,” Ms. Smith said.

                                  People removed from the train on stretchers, and one person had a bloody mouth, she said.

                                  Fire Department officials said the crash could have been far worse. One rail of Track 6, on which the train was traveling, sliced through the floor of a train car, they said. And the train crashed into what the officials characterized as a small waiting room or workroom beyond the track, causing substantial damage to the room.
