Re: All he did was reformat existing data
The intent is the key point. He is quoted as encouraging others to use the data for their own nefarious purposes. That's the major crime.

Many contracts have clauses for unusual or unexpected situations but those clauses are never used. Are they just hypothetical too?
The point of contracts is to cover all situations and make sure that both sides know what will happen if that event occurs.
For instance a contract might have a clause that product x must be serviced y times a year and the contract is null and void if it doesn't happen, but if its always serviced properly then the clause is never used. Just like a substitution clause.
When I read that bit I thought the opposite to you. He comes across as a entitled left-wing Biden supporter who is lamenting that the cancel culture that his side uses is being used against him. He think people should know that he is special and they are not entitled to cancel him. He is another one of the Go Woke Go Broke examples.
Looks like Gareth Jenkins and Anne Chambers have been referred to the CPS for possible charges of perjury from the Judge.
"At a hearing at the Court of Appeal on 18th November 2020, it was revealed that in his letter Mr Justice Fraser has referred two former IT experts for Fujitsu Gareth Jenkins, 68, and Anne Chambers, 63, to the Crown Prosecution Service. Mr Jenkins and Mrs Chambers gave evidence for the prosecution against subsequently convicted postmasters, and the Metropolitan Police is now investigating whether they committed perjury in misleading those trials."

It's surprising how many police constables end up with a criminal record. They are supposed to work to a high standard, but they are usually at a moral standard below the average person. See the YouTube channel "Police Abusing Powers" for many many other examples of police abusing their authority and the law.
It's not the facial recognition that you are thinking of. It doesn't identify you. It works out if you are a human first, then tries to work out age and sex based on the face. It doesn't have to be accurate, its just to get a sense of the types of people who see the advert. And having worked with Quividi products, I can say for definite it doesn't store the image captured anywhere.
Private land that is open to the public falls under various laws, including section 74(1) of the Anti-social Behaviour Order Act 2014. It defines it as a public place, and by the lack of laws, anything that you can do on public land, you can do on private land that is accessible to the public. Private land owners can make up rules for entry on to their land, but they still have to meet legal obligations and follow the law. So they can't ban people for race, disability, etc. They have to make the place safe under H&S laws. And banning certain activities that you can do in a similar place on public land leaves them open to being sued for equality and human rights laws. The banning of taking pictures is about commercial photography which is for the promotion of a brand, product, or service and which requires huge teams of staff and keeping the public away. Taking selfies is not commercial, so can't be banned, but security are usually too stupid to know the difference.
The only mistake he made was not to dedicate each song to the NHS. You can get away with breaking many crimes if it's for the NHS. No social distancing (as shown by the Met Police themselves on Westminster Bridge) and you can leave your house to clap when it's not a reasonable excuse to do so.
"the couple who took the hydroxychloroquine left over from their fish because they believed Trump when he said it was a cure (and in case you've forgotten the man died and the woman almost did))."
Well the man was a highly educated engineer and his wife was a Democrat supporter who donated loads of money to it. So why would she believe someone she considers the enemy? There is talk that it was murder with the wife taking some of the poison to cover her tracks.
Yep, VS 2017 is a pile of s.... But then every version of VS I've tried is a pile of s.... I've been brought up on UltraEdit and Eclipse and GDB and Linux and command line builds. VS and Window's header files just clog up everything - haven't they heard of namespaces and keeping things compartmentalised.
Corps like Apple don't pay US tax because it is too high. So they kept it out of the country and used it elsewhere in their multi-national corps. When Trump lowered tax rates, corps found it was more efficient to actually use it in the US rather than elsewhere. That's why many large corps gave their employees large bonuses in response to the tax cuts. Did you miss the news or think it was some fake news because of your left wing bias. I think your intellectual capability is getting worse as the country gets better. If you want to get your IQ up, go look up the Laffer Curve.
