I don't know about the "sell the information on the blackmarket" part. But uninvited pen-testing seems pretty risky. Maybe it'd be prudent to have an ~anonymous pseudonym for this stuff.

And if you really care about reputation building, you could use an ~anonymous pseudonym plus the sha256 or sha512 hash of some string. If it all works out, you just share the string, and reap the credit.
Deep fakes lack context. There are no witnesses, etc. So they’ll be most “effective” in trying to establish something in the past. It’ll be harder to produce the context where it’s believable in the near past (present minus up to a day a month a year?). So they may be useful in sowing distrust in someone by establishing they did something untoward in the past, but less likely to incite immediate reaction about something happening now, or recent past, once people become used to the possibility.

" the inconvenience to courier corporations is no good reason why they should give up on that."

This is an inconvenience to themselves - the courier is just providing them with a service that is impaired by the addressing system. It is by definition a good reason why they should replace the error-prone system.

Let me ask you - in your job, if someone suggests a change that will improve how things work, would you be against it because the bad way of doing things is party of the business's identity? It's nonsense, really isn't it.
Not so simple. The GDP and the country's wealth grew very significantly since 1990, and don't forget the enormous amount of foreign capital that entered Hungary. (For example "RTL Klub" is owned by the German RTL Group. And it is the last TV channel that airs segments critical of the government.)

Also, don't forget the privatization boom during the early 90s, when every government sold whatever they could find to fund the country. Early on this of course benefited friends of the old guard.

Furthermore, police informants liked to remain hidden. Secret police officers on the other hand liked to make the deals with the informants, especially those with some kind of business ambition.

But these deals produced a very pathological market state. As soon as the old regime fell, new businesses sprang up, and they soon eclipsed these old protected inefficient ones.

This is a great point. I would add that conferences should allow attendees to register and attend anonymously; i.e. possibly known to the conference at the time of registration (if otherwise required), but not necessarily known to all other attendees at all times. The badge should then simply not show a name on it.

Some conferences allows for pseudonyms to be used, which is good, and should also be allowed, but allowing pseudonyms doesn’t really solve this problem, and I don’t think it was really meant to do that.

(Of course, for those people, like me, who do want to have their name on their badge, those rules which you oppose are still very good and relevant.)

The one I have is titled: "Amazon licencie des salariés qui ont affiché leur soutien aux blocages des "gilets jaunes"".

That translates to "Amazon sacks employees who publicly expressed their support for Yellow Vests' blockages"

Right. I strongly suspect there's a correlation (and in fact causation) between lots of video watching and lower reading level.

I don't know if there are low-level brain effects, but I think once a child realizes that one can watch a movie or read the same book, the easier and more visual option is going to look more attractive. Reading is fairly hard work at first...

Apple's case is slightly more complicated. From 1995-2004 I used Linux, from 2004-2018 I used Mac (whole ecosystem), from 2018 onwards I'm back to Linux.

To be honest my reasons are: I really just think Tim Cook has little to no vision and all their products are showing the effects of "bozo explosion".

Any organization that doubles, triples, or quadruples in size winds up being a giant host to parasitic employees (middle manager bozos, usually), whose basic motive is (a) do little work, (b) get paid. The real world effects is the company stops being able to make decisions and continues to double-down on mistakes (removing headphone jacks to force consumers into buying your proprietary 'ear pods'). All those "one time tricks" to boost revenue eventually run out...ask Balmer.

IANAL, but based on the wording, it seems like it's only unlawful to create w/ intent to distribute, or to knowingly distribute, a deep fake IFF you're facilitating unlawful conduct. So for example, blackmail? Does libel count? Does the very act of distributing a deep fake count as libel against the subject?

Can any lawyers chime in?
It seems naive to me to believe that there aren't backdoors in AMD and Intel processors. Intelligence agencies have done far worse in our history than backdooring some electronic components. I'm not so sure why this is so unlikely, especially after the Snowden leaks showing us how far agencies like the NSA are willing to go.

My understanding of French law is that such actions are illegal to begin with and, obviously, a breach of your duties towards your employer.

these people aren't part of being at the forefront of automation-innovation but are victims of it. If Amazon wouldn't have killed the bookstore and retail sector in large parts of rural France (and Europe), these employees wouldn't be working for Amazon. They work there because companies like Amazon fail to pay their taxes and are proprietary-algorithms which have drained all humanity and social cohesion (Uber, AirBNB et al).

Although I don't blame Amazon alone in this (companies like this are a symptom not the cause of our Capitalistic Technological Society, but I think whether this is illegal or not is beside the point and we'd be better off listening to their pain instead of siding with "the law". The Gilets Jaunes being called by the French state "Illegal" are a good example of why this form of protests works and drives home the message to these corporate overlords. Even an article like this fuels some rage during the coming "Act-XYZ" IMO the language of money is the only language these people/companies understand.

A shame they didn't think of better opsec for organizing this. Use a burner phone use signal and not some facebook account with your real name to spread the message. This is exactly how they'll get busted by their nanny-state and why the nanny-state is able to use language that otherwise is reserved for "terrorists" or threats to "civil order". Macron, the minister of interior, and their oligarch friends from Rothschild are the real crooks ... and unlike the protestors that risk losing their jobs, or their eyes from the police aggressive use of rubber bullets ("fireballs") and who have actual "skin in the game".

My point is that the law must change and these companies should be taxed accordingly so that the Precariat is lifted out of their precarious position. Unless this changes I fear that the only way forward is more protests (and violence).

There are "Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names" that are relevant to badges. For instance #6, people’s names fit within a certain defined amount of space; names being in 64 point type is good unless will make a name wrap to another line.

Most conferences are not multilingual and it's reasonable to write names in an alphabet understood by most attendees. Something helpful is if given name and family name are to be styled differently, that that actually be done, don't just make the name that comes first different.

This sounds like a good case for something like the "traffic light" system for indicating who's happy to have photos taken of them. Doing it with lanyards makes it nice and simple to rectify afterwards: if you see a red lanyard in the photo then you've made a mistake.

When I lived in London (before I got brave/foolish and rode a bike all year round) - I combined a 2nd hand electric scooter and the tube. Scooter was £20 - and in no way would have driven me across London - got a hour tops out of the battery and slowed significantly after 45 mins.

Shooting along to a station and then letting the tube get me the 13 miles across London and then jumping back on the scooter was great.

Downsides:

This wasn't long after the tube bombing and I was stopped a few times to discuss the scooter - was it petrol powered? Was it safe to take on the tube)

It was heavy (this was 2004 and I know they have come a long way)

It wasn't fun in the rain

Stowing it on a train or bus was a hassle (again this was a 2004 model - they likely fold better now)

Had a vague unease that I'd get stopped for either riding on the road or the pavement - potential risks of getting points on your licence.

-

In the end I actually got a Razor push scooter and got nearly the same benefit, but with no charging.

But finally I got a job with room to store bikes, and a shower and never looked back. Far faster than any other option for me, and paid for itself very swiftly (started on a £150 bike, and worked way up to a nicer one in time with the savings I'd made.)

Apart from the several times they've been fined in the EU and various other countries for (summarising here) slurping data, lying about deleting it, favoring their own services, and so on?
