This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor.

I’d rather take a plaster mold of my face than have to use a specific phone to order a VR headset.

Moving back to a city!

Ey, congratulations!

Right? That’s the thing. Car thieves don’t care if the tool is illegal; they’re already planning on stealing a car.

If you make the tool illegal, you’re just making it harder for security experts who do care about the law.

Yes we should allow them, because the problem isn’t that this tool is available. The problem is that cars and other devices aren’t more secure.

If you broke into a bank vault with a screwdriver, you don’t ban screwdrivers; you get mad at the bank.

You use cards for offline authentication (bars/festivals/etc.), and use a different process for online authentication.

Proving someone has the physical card in their possession (which is what a reader does) isn’t really useful for proving identity when you can’t also check the picture.

If you haven’t already, take a peek at Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It’s fanfiction, but absolutely worth a read.

Pine and BeagleBoard have some decent options, but they’ll always be more expensive than rpi because of the economy of scale.

Basshunter, obviously.

The real interesting debate is between ((f) 1) and f()(1).

It used to be AGPL, now it’s SSPL.

It takes a lot of money, planning, and technical know-how to build a nuclear power plant, especially a safe one. It isn’t like a new nuclear company can just pop into existence, and start offering reactors for sale.

Traditional nuclear reactors are, therefore, a technology that requires a lot of centralization to implement. Only nation-states and huge corporations can assemble the resources to construct them.

Compare that to wind or hydro-electric power. You can build a generator with some wire and magnets yourself, so you could call them more decentralized.

This might be changing with modular reactors, I don’t know.

Germany has been anti-nuclear for some time, unfortunately. That could be what the above poster was referring to?

And? You believe Meta/Google should have waited to block links?

Canadian government’s news link tax is preventing Canadians from sharing vital information about the wildfires ripping through western Canada

Let’s place blame where blame is due.

Set a code of conduct and ban people who misbehave. Might lose some top players, but it’d be better for everyone else.

Eventually “passing the cost on to consumers” increases the price so much that the deceptive printers cost more than legitimate ones.

I’m not so sure. Gravity only travels at the speed of light so mass outside of the observable universe hasn’t been able to affect us yet.

Flipping a bit in software doesn’t cost Tesla anything, the hardware is already installed.

It would be totally different if Tesla didn’t install the hardware by default, and you had to pay to have it put in.
