Some things don't change, like the dimensions between features like eyes, nose, ears, etc. Coinbase had an interesting presentation on this a few years back about how they verified IDs from pictures and dealt with all kinds of fraud.

Worst case, if the appearance is really drastic then it would just fail and require a manual intervention.
Out of curiosity, given that this is among the most sensitive PII that can be stored, where is this data located for Stripe? I think this looks like an excellent product and can absolutely see the utility for so many businesses, but as a European I would never want such data to be stored outside of the EU. If there could be flexibility in the location the data is stored I think many European customers would appreciate that. Thanks.
An early contract involved integrating front-end code with a back-end TPF (IBM platform) mainframe app. I had to remove "TPF" from my CV because in the run-up to Y2K I was getting constant pings about TPF programming roles.

Still not as clueless as the fool who changed my CV from "Visual Age for C++ for OS/2" to "Visual C++" and assumed neither I nor the client would object to this minor amendment.

That just says they built a solar array with batteries for that price. It doesn't say anywhere that the uptime is comparable to traditional energy sources.
Deregulated nuclear power is a terrifying prospect.
Fair enough.

My worry is that there are people would take the bad parts of the Western world / the US and use it to justify ruining or even overthrowing the whole thing.
Does Stripe intend to make a giant online database of international identity documents? Why should we trust Stripe to secure these? It could be Equifax levels of problematic if there would be a intrusion, but I also can't tell how Stripe plans to use this information.
Solar plant size vs production in Germany is not really a good indicator of the optimal areal efficiency of solar panels. Maybe looking at closer to the equator locations would be more fair to the technology.

And putting wind turbines in the sea would likely be less problematic for NIMBY people (plus dual use: fish nursery!)
If you have a minute could you describe better your outrage, for me the levels expressed are fascinating. All I’m describing is a system for WFH that automatically measures if someone is actually working on the system. Other workers clock in/out, Uber drivers paid by time, many jobs measure productivity in many ways automatically and often unknown explicitly by the workers, and certainly not with their consent. What makes people react so intensely? I guarantee you this is being done for real as I describe and there isn’t any law against it as people imagine, those laws are about video, audio, and communication surveillance that could be used by employers to violate employee privacy, but it’s legally delusional to believe that employers would be restricted from measuring if employees paid to WFH are actually working at home, and also delusional to believe the company has to disclose what it uses to measure productivity to their employees. This explosive thread, created by me on a whim with a dystopian imagination has been quite interesting in the strong reaction provoke and I gladly take all the downvotes for it’s entertainment.
This sort of thing is definitely usable in Europe; if you’re thinking of GDPR the legitimate interest and legal obligation rules are likely to apply to users of this product. Eg at least one of my banks uses something like this for account identity validation (I see KYC is high on their list of use cases). Things like car rentals would find this really useful too.

Why does “lost money” need to be recuperated?

That doesn’t sound necessary at all.

What does sound reasonable is that supply and demand change the prices of things.
Sorry, but if the employees have to worry about $10 a year because of nickle-and-diming from the boss, you're either not paying them enough or your process for small reimbursements suck. Why don't the employees have enough freedom to get the tools to do their job in an appropriate way instead of wasting your time and theirs discussing whether $10/yr for adblocking is an essential part of their job? That argument alone would cost you more than $10, not to mention the productivity loss from intrusive advertising.

Yeesh, I'd hate to work for a boss like you...
Space launches still fail. The fallout from a failed launch of radioactive fuel would be pretty devastating. Not to mention that launch prices are still, pardon the pun, astronomical.
This is something that varies state to state. Quick search shows that Pennsylvania considers giving up a password as self-incriminating testimony (protected by the 5th amendment), while Massachusetts does not. They can generally force you to use biometrics to unlock or give them a physical key anywhere, however.

This seems to be an actively developing area of law around the world.

I think this also translates to self-driving cars. I actually think automated cars have an edge there, because of 2 reasons:

1. Improved visibility: A human driver sits in the driver seat, and looks at the outside world from inside the car - partly through mirrors, partly with the view obscured. A self-driving car (at last current potential vehicles) has a view without being obstructed by the car's frame.

2. No limitation on focus: As a human driver, I can look to the front, or the back, or the sides, but I can't look everywhere all the time. I can do my best to maintain an overview of my surroundings, but need to update this constantly by changing where I'm looking - if I want to see if there's someone behind me, I (for a moment) have to stop looking where I'm going. Automated vehicles don't need to stop looking to the front to see to their back or the side. They can see a car 200 feet away coming from the right without having to miss the pedestrian coming from the left.

I'm not saying that self-proclaimed self-driving cars do this already, but looking at perception capabilities, self-driving cars have the potential to avoid more accidents than humans.
> Is that the HTML version? Because the normal GMail is also horribly slow.

Out of interest, what is slow about gmail for you? I use gmail for work and speed has never been a problem or even an annoyance. Im genuinely interested as some people seem to have a totally different experience to me and it'd be interesting to understand why.
These are few examples and I am expecting the reader would use their imagination a bit.

Food production - planting seeds, collecting crops, watering the farms, creating anti-pesticides, creating all the farming equipment, packaging food, distributing food, storing food (for storing food just think about all the work that goes into creating a fridge - from mining metals from the ground, to designing the fridge and building a factory that create thousands of fridges quickly)
The question is what Google should do if they need a new web API badly enough to implement it.

Making it clear that it’s Chrome only (for now) would be good and they should do that more prominently. Making it possible for other browsers to implement by designing it with standardization in mind also seems good? (Unlike the situation with web extensions.) Lock-in is bad, Chrome-only websites are bad, so they should be trying to standardize things and avoid using it as a point of differentiation between browsers.

Not speaking for other browser vendors is also good. Like, it’s all very well for us to say that Firefox seems unlikely to pick it up, but someone on the Chrome team should definitely not say that, because it jinxes the effort and Firefox might change their minds if web developers seem to want it. (The comment you link to raises security concerns but I don’t think they claim to be giving the final word about Firefox’s position.)

So we see the state of standardization a bit hidden behind euphemisms like saying that there are “no signals” from other browsers yet.

There’s also the danger of having early articles become out of date by claiming that things are Chrome-only when actually the situation has changed and the person writing the article doesn’t know about it, so there is a tendency to avoid saying too much.

The underlying assumption is that web standards evolve by browser vendors starting to implement things ahead of getting consensus. Implementation and documentation start ahead of the standardization effort, which goes on in parallel.

(And underlying that assumption is the notion that rapid adoption of more powerful web api’s is desirable and “stagnation” is bad. Safari gets a lot of grief for being too slow, while Chrome gets grief for being too fast.)
It didn't use ownership, and I don't think that's the paradigm, but I did something like this in D by tagging allocating members with a user defined attribute which counted in bytes the allocated memory the summed it for the whole tree (structure).

Not worth the effort but it can be done in not much code
All currencies are supposed to infinitely lose value, gradually over time, in order to encourage labor to continue. So, yeah, they’re all supposed to lose “100%” of their value, except that’s a weird way to quantify the value of currencies because to claim a percentage of it has been lost is an absolute measure, and not a relative one.

If you said a currency lost 4% of its value year-over-year that would be high, sure. If you said a currency lost 25% of its value… so what? Relative to what? That’s not an important measurement.

Cryptocurrencies are popular because “the sucker’s going up.” If they didn’t, they’d be little more interesting than PayPal transactions.
Why would you assume belittling and yelling would silence the OP?

> The parent mentioned specifically religious believes as a tool for good child upbringing.

No, I merely pointed out that religious upbringing is explicit about some topics in ways that non-religious one usually aren't.

Your counter argument can be flipped around into "religious upbringing doesn't necessarily mean bad morals & ethics", so in effect it's not really saying anything meaningful.
It's not just how biased they are, I'm having issues with how little they're about news and how much about pure clickbait. I used to think up until recently, that CNN was a legitimate (left leaning) news source but it's all "watch this person react to that person saying something" and amazon product recommendations for stuff no one needs.

What's FIRE in this context?
You're right and wrong. The waste amount is rather small, but the steel, concrete, and water required to contain that amount is several orders of magnitude larger.

The parent is ignoring those containment requirements (or relying heavily on technologies that are still in the research phase).
Yes, but phones do have curated mobile app stores. Not the case with desktop computers, so it's dangerous.
Who Controls the Arctic?
Every time a recruiter (especially internal) reaches out to me lately about "remote until after Covid" I politely tell them I have no intention of ever being forced back into an office every week and good luck with their search. Hopefully they'll realize quickly enough.

Agreed on the salary uptick now. I'm not actively looking, but I'll entertain interesting companies. I've had a lot more companies say "yeah, we can do that" when I tell them I want at least $200k base (8 YOE, full stack developer) than before.
I was lucky enough to buy into a great neighborhood in a city years ago. If I sold now and quit my job, I could live farther out and get more property for less money, and pocket the difference.

In the U.S., capital gains on your primary residence can be kept tax free up to $250,000 ($500k if you’re married).
Indeed. In Canada if you’re out of the country longer than 6 months you’re not longer insured (in Canada). And in fact, insurance doesn’t cover you outside the country anyways.
It's true that most energy providers aren't really compensated well enough for uptime ( As seen in Texas this past winter). But that mispricing of current power doesn't solve any of the issues we'll need to solve to migrate to a lower carbon energy infrastructure.
Nothing is as economic as fossil fuels, especially considering the infrastructure and know how we’ve built around them. If they didn’t have the side effect of climate change there would be no reason to push so hard on alternatives anytime soon. Renewables + nuclear gives us a chance at achieving a comparable quality of life without the impending climate risk but it will take a lot of investment at the expense of fossil fuels and other economic areas. Only policy will do that.
Is anyone aware of a similar tool for JavaScript/TS or Golang?
The answer is more complicated. The same day there were two more referendums about agriculture, one about pandemic measures and one about giving police more tools for antiterrorism measures. The agriculture referendums were very controversial and were strongly rejected and perhaps there was some spill-over. Imagine someone German speaking from a rural canton writing «Nein», then again «Nein». And the pandemic measures also generated a lot of scorn against government. We will never know whether this was enough of an influence.
Any folks at Stripe want to chat about a HIPAA compliant version of this? I know some folks who may be interested...
Are you seeing the salaries at these smaller companies keeping up? When I was changing jobs just before the pandemic I also saw a ton of interest from small/med companies, but none with competitive offers. Big, publicly traded tech companies were able to offer more than double total compensation in some cases, and that's with equity you can actually sell for cash.
You guys are really sad cases. One guys replied that he reported me to the FBI, imagine the laughter at the report:

Internet user is reporting an employer who pays his employees to work from home has an automated monitoring/surveillance system to determine if the employees are actually working from home at the level they have been requested. Damn! I’m glad they called the FBI on this one!!!
Yup, Walkability doesn’t appear from one or two single developer projects, I think the city has to shape projects for decades.

Though in my region, a couple of small classic downtown areas are hoping to a keep some permanent pedestrian streets that were turned that way during the pandemic..
Interestingly, such a law does nothing against proper criminals. People that know they have incriminating evidence will either not carry it on their phones or uses some form of steganography to hide it perfectly. In the worst case, they will have some form of wipe-me passphrase that cleans the device before unlocking.

Normal people, on the other hand, do not have these kind of (mental, time) resources. They will be forced to unlock their phones and something incriminating (for instance regarding "hate speech" or "intellectual property rights" or just "traffic violations") will be found. I consider this approach one step more in the direction of keeping every citizen an on-demand criminal. There are so many, sometimes incomprehensible, laws nowadays that pretty much everyone is not compliant.

I like Meet b/c it's easy. Click link and people are in a meeting. I don't want to force people to install and app or hunt around for the tiny text that lets people join a meeting from their browser.

Meet is far from perfect (performance issues on Macs), but ease of use trumps that for me personally.

US’ First Crypto Bank Reveals Date of Commencement
I never wanted Equifax to have any of my data, and yet here we are. After the breach, I wouldn’t ever be a paying customer to them if I had a choice. (Indirectly, I am still a “customer” in the sense that they probably still have my data and get new data about me—but apart from canceling all my cards, not sure what choice I have). In comparison, Stripe seems to charge for each product it offers. I think that’s a more fair and transparent model.

That may well be true, but washing in the sink uses almost no energy - to directly compare the two, you'd have to compare the energy used directly by a dishwasher and hand washing (heating the water), plus the energy required to filter the waste water from each.
To be clear, your actual experience is why you are so convinced that this exercise is pointless, because you're sure the cops will very helpfully tell you how to file a complaint should you ever need to, because you do not demonise them?

This appears to actually go significantly beyond enforced password disclosure. From the text ( http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/Gen_Scheme_of_AGS_(Powers)_Bil... ), on Head 16 (p 28):

- An officer can use these requirements on anyone who "appears to him or her to have access". They don't appear to need any evidence beyond that. The person does not need to be a suspect or, it appears, the subject of a warrant, just a person present at the location subject to the search warrant.

- It applies not just to access to information on the device, but information "which can be accessed by the use of that computer", and thus presumably includes information that is on other machine, or potentially not even in Ireland or the EU.

- It allows officers to freely operate computers on site during a search (this seems like horrible forensic practice?), and use passwords found on the site to try to access any information accessible from the computer.

- It does not just include disclosing passwords. It includes "any password or encryption key", and anything "to otherwise enable [the officer] to examine the information accessible by the computer".

- It even appears that it allows officers to compel people not just to disclose passwords but to actually operate the device for them so as to enable information access, and "to produce the information in a form in which it can be removed".

- It is not clear to me that there is any restriction on the scope of information, so long as it is in some way accessible.

- Head 17 appears to allow even legally (or otherwise) privileged information to be seized, so long as "the confidentiality of the material can be maintained pending the determination by the court of the issue as to whether the material is privileged material".

Combining these powers would seem to be able to result in ridiculous situations, for example, forcing a person to take data from a US server using an SSH key on their laptop, potentially violating US law by doing so, and for the person to do all the work necessary to do this themselves.
Chatbot Platforms for Business [2021 Edition]
This is not an app, more like a rich form? It just so happens that the APIs it needs are available in mobile browsers, i.e. camera.

Other apps cannot do the same.

Like messaging or social networks need things like notifications. Or those for IoT related tasks, which would need Bluetooth or such.

Thank you very much for this answer! That was my #1 question (why this instead of Amplify) after reading the headline and you provided an informative, succinct answer.
Ugh, please, no.

- I'm already tired of constant browser native pop-ups asking for access to things. This is just asking for the same treatment: "The site memes.example.com wants to be able to open .gif files. [Allow] [Deny]"

- Does this mean all that extra javascript gets access to the file? This isn't an anti-javascript rant, but your average 3rd-party site is loading code from all over the web and it's impossible to expect users to understand the implications of "open nopebaby.gif with ...". I mean, the OS is making it easy, so it must be safe!

Having a thick interface between your files and websites is a feature, not a bug.
Teachers weren't front line workers...they didn't go back to in person learning after being vaccinated. I can understand different considerations, but vaccinating those that were going out, ignoring mandates and spreading the virus over the elderly is just stupid. It's one thing to prioritize multigenerational households that could have unintentional spreading, but it's another to prioritize a population that is failing to follow the rules because they might have a bigger chance to spread with a much lower chance of death.
