> Do you have a right to privacy when you break into a building

To find the person who appears on video footage filmed in the building, you need to spy on everyone and then match the face from the footage against the face of everyone else walking about. All of those other people did not break into the building, yet for this to work, their privacy is expunged by having their movement and faces filmed, tracked and catalogued so that the FR software can cross-match them.

I think there is a privacy argument here. If I didn't commit any crime, maybe it shouldn't be that my face gets recorded in some database alongside my latest location.
And the guy required to set that all up is 100K.
Their story at the moment is that the blog was a side piece. They're supposedly building an actual social network.

I suppose Mike Lindell can help with that. He has recent relevant experience.
Interesting. Noon is when the sun is highest. I had fun explaining time zones to my son the other day. I think he got lost in my train analogy: If the train travels around the earth at the same speed the earth turns, then it's always noon on the train.
I've lost count of the number of donors who've said they felt stung by learning just how well off the WMF is financially, felt they'd been lied to, wished they had donated to someone else, said they'd now cancelled their monthly donation, etc.

The implication is that for them, the sense of urgency was precisely the reason they donated. They believed they were helping "a friend in need". That's what made them feel good. Being used, not so much.

And almost every single bit of it is due to community work, not the people inside company.

10% is quite high. It's more like 3% in my company.

And using invalid assumptions, if the probability that you will get PIP'd every year is 10%, assuming it's just a random dart shot, that means the likelihood you'll get PIP'd at some point in the first 4 years is 35%.
It's better, but it's still rubbish. The FPTP system virtually guarantees a two party system, which means that whatever one party thinks is a good idea, the other is effectively forced into taking the opposing view, and the lake of anti-competition laws (or enforcement of?) around media effectively means that Murdoch media and the Liberal/National coalition are basically wings of the same party.

Having seen MMP play out on the other side of the Tasman, it's pretty clear that MMP produces saner outcomes.

My personal opinion is that is MMP forces coalitions more often. The upshot of which is that everyone is forced to be more willing to communicate and compromise and take on saner positions, because the opposition one term may turn out to be the maker of the governing party the next.
Yes, using better equipment with greater skill gets better results. I’m suggesting an easy way to begin the path there.

The video mentions that moves that can only be done by pressing right and left at the same time aren't allowed, as that can't be done on a controller. I wonder if keyboard input is tolerated but only if it blocks impossible combinations, or if it's just on the honor system not to do those moves?
That's what they're doing.

The problem is automated identification of faces. The solution is banning that.
There's a quote in the middle of the article which was probably inaccurately summarized for the headline:

> We applaud King County for being the first multi-city county in the nation to pass such necessary measures
The CCADB https://www.ccadb.org/ is built out of SalesForce. Its purpose is to mechanise the paperwork needed to manage the relationship between the major Root Trust Stores and the Certificate Authorities.

Its members are Mozilla, Microsoft and Google (in principle you could imagine Apple choosing to join some day, or then again maybe not, likewise perhaps Oracle). Clearly any of those entities could build a web site, they already own several web sites, and if this was rocket surgery (and it isn't) they employ rocket surgeons already. But they chose to use SalesForce.

And I've always supposed that one big reason is that you clearly can't let the other guy write the system you'll both use, and yet you also definitely don't want to waste your resources on working together to write it, that's usually even more expensive than either of you writing it alone.

But low code as a matter of principle also makes sense in this space. This is "just" mechanising some paperwork, it shouldn't need to be complicated. There shouldn't need to be a Mozilla engineer working on the CCADB.
If you mean the Oracle v Google fiasco, it was a legal battle on whether it is legal to copy a significant part but not exactly the whole of what is called JavaTM.

But Java is one of the few major languages that is standard-specified, not specified by the reference implementation, the reference impl. is completely open source, and the ecosystem is blooming. So, no? It is a huge platform running a very very significant chunk of all the backend servers.
I've been seeing this on some Castlevania SOTN tricks. I'm not sure whether this was done before or after TAS became in vogue, but while Some specific tricks are 'frame perfect', in that game you can use the map function to check your frame and slow it down. Yeah, it's still slower than a TAS, but if the time savings is substantial it's worth it.
it's a good question, and i could only speculate what sleuthing led them to ask SO for information about that account, but yes, they sent an info request to SO, who complied.
The problem is that constant surveillance of people makes exerting power over them trivial.

> RFC for a standard allowing websites to list other domains that should be considered as same origin

No, they allowed an origin to list other origins whose cookies would be sent back to the serving origin correctly even if they were iframes loaded in the parent origin DOM.

I.e. this is the expected behavior for iframes until Safari decided that there was such a thing as "third party" origins whose web semantics could be broken in their war against advertising.

Google is trying to (partially) restore the expected behavior of iframes so that named origins get their own cookies sent to them, which is how things worked for the first two decades of the web.
Working on a modular archiving tool that, so long as an appropriate archiving "kernel" has been written, will be able to archive files from compatible URLs without the end user needing to care which tool is used or how it's downloaded. (https://github.com/joshbarrass/UArchiver)

I'm also working on integrating this into a Telegram bot (https://github.com/joshbarrass/ArchiverBot) that will allow me to archive things to my NAS whilst on the go. UArchiver is provided with the URL and will just download the files without me needing to care how.

I've been too busy with other things to put major work into it recently, but both projects are in a functional state, just without tonnes of features or supported sites. Whilst it may not seem like much, I'm particularly pleased with the GitHub Actions pipeline I set up recently, which will automatically upload UArchiver releases to PyPi, and automatically build ArchiverBot Docker images and upload those DockerHub.
Not exactly on topic but I click on this link and it's been a long time since I went on SO...it popped up the cookies choice thing...except it remembered my choices from last time so there was no reason to...I think it was just hoping i'd mistakenly hit 'accept all'.
I agree with this on premise. But the US in particular (though Australia and Canada both share quite heavily in this), makes is practically illegal to build non-detached housing, in 99% of the country, once you included zoning requirements, parking minimums, set back requirements, community review boards, bans on multi-unit housing on a plot (so that even a duplex, triplex, etc are illegal even if they otherwise fit with zoning requirements).
This stuff is a tactical solution that fills a gap in poor business solutions. Give it 5, 10 years and these non-IT solutions will be a nightmare for everyone involved.
I’m curious if it even makes sense to manufacture a computer and sell it, as opposed to renting it for whatever the highest value compute happens to be at the moment.
I do think blockchain analysis will get more advanced over time and people who think they are anonymous now may have a rude awakening years down the line, but from what I can tell, you know crypto better than I do.

IMO, if folks wants privacy now they should actually use privacy focused crypto, but I also think the public nature of crypto is one of the interesting parts of it. I know there are privacy diehards and I can understand why, but I'm more interested about the technology in general.
Well, I in fact did mention the "compactness" of integers at the start of this thread :)

Are there many sincere researchers studying flaws in facial recognition advocating its unequivocal ban forever? Joy Boulamwini:

> At a minimum, Congress should require all Federal agencies and organizations using Federal funding to disclose current use of face-based
technologies. We cannot afford to operate in the dark. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-116hhrg36663/pdf/CH...

Timnit Gebru in the NYTimes:

> Do you see a way to use facial recognition for law enforcement and security responsibly?

> It should be banned at the moment. I don’t know about the future. https://archive.is/JqiqP

Are the flaws Algorithmic Justice League finding real? Someone has definitely been wrongly accused by a facial recognition error (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/technology/facial-recogni...).

Is there certainly an impression that activists want a forever ban? Yes, Joy Buolomwini and Timnit Gebru are frequently represented as advocating against even "perfect" facial recognition.

It's true, lawyers tend to advocate for a forever ban. I don't think these researchers advocate for a forever ban. If you read their raw words, they are much more intellectually honest than the press allows.

Is your line of thinking co-opted by people acting in bad faith? Certainly. You would feel very differently about the deployment of the system if you were so much more likely to be falsely accused by it due to the color of your skin.

Every intellectually honest person's opinion of the justice system eventually matures. You'll come around to delegating authority to researchers over lawyers and police.
I don't think you read the article, which contains examples to support their claims that are the opposite of yours, which do not have any supporting evidence.
This is generally handled by an input cleaner, either in the controller itself if you hook it up to an original system, or via an emulator if you're using one. In the case of SMB1 L+R is disallowed (and it does give some in game time advantages) and all allowed emulators will give 'neutral' inputs if you press both L and R simultaneously so it will act as if you've pressed neither.

Who will actually build and maintain these low code solutions? Will it be over qualified SWEs who will lose their skills over time if they work on this stuff? Or will it be citizen developers who were actually hired for some other skill set and won't care for solution design or future planning?

Probably not many of them, because it doesn't usually take a graduate to write Java. Especially if your experience with Java is also limited to tools like Spring. I think the question is kind of pointless unless your specifically hiring people to work on an application that needs that sort of thru-put. Most apps don't need it.

> what happens if somebody puts a gun (or a knife) to your face?

Nothing. Either they mug you and leave or you get injured (or they didn't see the cop standing behind them.) Facial recognition is not going to solve that problem.

I'm not informed on the issue, but I'd imagine that preventing them from buying the technology is easier than tightly controlling its use.
That doesn't necessarily have to be a gay slur. Could refer to somewhere sitting around all day doing...that.
>Nice cynical, cruel take. It says more about you that you believe people who speak about their trauma are only doing it to play victim

That would be a very valid critique - but only if I had said anything of the sort.

I never said that "people who speak about their trauma are only doing it to play victim", as if it's somehow impossible to speak about trauma and not doy to play victim.

What I said that people today (meaning, lots of people today, which is neither the same as "everybody", nor even the same as "everybody who talks about trauma") overblow insignifant "traumas" to play the victim.

There are, of course, also people with real traumas (real abuse, parent loss, and so on). Those, by definition, don't have to overblow BS "traumas", and, by extension, are not those I criticized.

So, I can't really answer your points, any other way, expect to say that they don't actually respond to what I did say.

Don't know about the typing part - but perhaps some combination of pillows (like the semi-circular kind people us on airlines) + DIY constraints on head movement could help?

This is also how Emacs optimized its startup: by loading its initial Emacs Lisp code and dumping itself together with a heap snapshot into a new executable (there is a special API in glibc to do just this).

Recently Emacs has moved to a "portable dump" approach which saves the heap snapshot separately.
If there’s a way to make it impossible for the government to use facial recognition to monitor people other than legally banning them doing so, it’s hard to imagine it.
