What's more surprising is that Kmart still exists...

SirFatty•19m ago
Yes, I saw that in the article. What's your point, that if in Australia it's not real?
carefulfungi•5m ago
I was curious so read the Kmart wikipedia article over morning coffee. Seems like these (no longer) share any ownership with the original. Which I guess raises a philosophical question about names and existence that will require at least a second cup of coffee :-)
eej71•19m ago
Kmart in Australia is best thought of as a fork from the original. The original in the United States is effectively defunct now.

Even more astonishing to me is that we’ve not just simply allowed something like ubiquitous camera surveillance and facial recognition, increasingly with effectively 100% coverage, but most people have actively participated in it with all their various cameras they even installed inside their home, let alone set up neighborhood surveillance systems.

And yes, they are all tapped and not even Orwell imagined what we’ve done to ourselves. But don’t worry, it will only get more apparent and worse once things are far beyond too late, when Minority Report will be noted for its cute and naive depiction.

Interesting line to draw:

- you can record all manner of video in your store...

- but you can't process it in this particular way.

BolexNOLA•10m ago
First paragraphs pretty clearly read to me like the issue isn’t “processing it,” it’s the indiscriminate filming of everybody who enters the store without consent that’s the problem.
llm_nerd•6m ago
Everyone who enters almost any store is "filmed" with their implicit consent. Cameras are everywhere, and certainly are everywhere in every Australian court as well.

The root comment is precisely right. Deriving data from filmed content -- the illusory private biometric data that we are leaving everywhere, constantly -- is what the purported transgression was.

Is this from the 90s? Who doesn't expect to be recorded when entering a retail chain? How the hell does the government have the right to decide what this private company can do on their private land? If you enter onto someone else's property you should play by their rules.
