Awesome, I always wanted to live out Logan's Run for real.
actually the Mayor and most of council has been pretty solidly behind this.They obviously have never dealt with the Toronto City Council. Come in with low expectations please...
I'll be honest but im still unsure of what the hell this actually is but it seems rather interesting to build an entirely new community with affordability, sustainability and a bunch of high tech shit in mind.
I say let them bang.
Edit: But i'll be honest, Google is sort of resembling the Umbrella corp of our time and it sort of scares the shit out of me.
no one is assuming they are doing it for altruistic purposes. Ultimately, people are willing to share data for the sake of convenience. Have you boycotted smartphones and only use internet through encrypted proxies?If people are concerned about Alphabet taking advantage of the data they'll collect, I assume there's something dodgy going on. Why and how is a fucking quay collecting data?
Google's Sidewalk Toronto plans to collect data from residents
Knew it, like they'd do this out of the goodness of their heart. They're prototyping a dystopian 1984 neighbourhood. Collecting data from your phone and your internet just wasn't enough, gotta kick that shit to the next level.
Google has a parent company?
I own Alphabet stock.
Without a doubt the increased privacy concerns are an issue gov'ts need to revisit and not just with regards to this. I have written constantly on this forum how people have no clue what type of privacy releases they are accepting just when downloading App's, as they don't read them, and how those 'permissions' are getting more and more pervasive and arguably sinister.so they're going to help people, AND create a Person of Interest type surveillance system?
Nothing can possibly go wrong w/ that!
It's teh deep state bro!Google has a parent company?
But some have 2 mommies, get it straight man.We all have parents.
What do you mean? Being progressive and proactive and getting things done that benefit citizens and the community instead of having toxic vacant land just sitting there for decades??Thank the lawd for countries where this is completely immpossible on all levels.
