  2. upload photos? on Experimental AI Lie Detector Will Help Screen EU Travelers (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    it wants you to upload photos? over the internet? is that safe? what if someone fakes AI's FTP server and ends up getting those photos instead? you'd think Mr. AI, at the airport, would have a camera ... a pair of high speed ultra high definition high dynamic range ones, even.

    I wonder if it will accept Monopoly money.

    I wonder if it will accept bribes.

  3. Re:Somebody doesn't understand UBI. on Are Universal Basic Incomes 'A Tool For Our Further Enslavement'? (medium.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    UBI money has to come from somewhere. taxes or just more borrowing?/p?

  4. once all the money is collected by those at the top, is it game over, or will they find a way to get more? if at that point they "let" UBI start, where will that money come from?

    So where is the open and free ENcoder?

  6. the very best compression on VideoLAN Announces Dav1d, a New Libre and Open Source AV1 Decoder (jbkempf.com) · · Score: 1

    do we still need to squeeze every last byte out of video files given how big our storage devices have gotten to be and how fast our networks are getting to be? or what about a decade from now? or is this going to be a cause for compression for the next millenium?

  7. Re:The best practice is to have a separate email f on Is Your Email Address Holding You Back? (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    even better, make a positive tech profile with the identity you give out for a tech job search. they can get suspicious if they see no profile at all.

  8. Re:Who has only 1 email address? on Is Your Email Address Holding You Back? (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    people should get a new email address every 2 to 4 years like this. a few sites like linkedin get a unique email address. then i have a better idea who leaks out to spam. but don't change what email a site gets to see unless you a dropping that one (and you better hold on to it for another year just in case). and you should have email addresses from many providers. i have 21 addresses from 5 providers (AOL is not one of them). there are a variety of categories like family and recruiters.

    you mean all that expensive premium paper their contracts with unnamed partner were written on?

  11. Good Timing on Comcast and Xfinity Facing a Nationwide Outage [Update: Company Confirms] · · Score: 1

    I was watching news at the time and they were covering a Trump speech live, and it froze for a few seconds and went to loud snow for a couple seconds, then it came back on but with groups of lines shifted out of place frozen and silent. Then I scanned channels and everything but locals were either the same way or just frozen. A couple channels were all-black but they might have just been frozen while such a frame was on.

    so does this mean my tweets could be tracked as if from Russia?

  13. Google is not very innocent, either on Google Accused of Racketeering. Lawsuit Claims 'Pattern' Of Trade Secret Thefts (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 2

    today, i wanted to watch a PBS TV show i missed, so i went to YouTube to see if it was there. there were tons of hour long videos with that title and episode (Finding Your Roots, season 4 episode 1) but were replaced with a link due to a copyright claim. but this link went to a scam site trying to get your credit card number, despite claims that it was free, and not to PBS. apparently Google will take a copyright claim from anyone, including scammers.

  14. Let AI drive the cars on Could Technology Companies Solve Traffic Congestion? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Let AI drive the cars. "self-driving" cars follow the road rules and cooperate better. Maybe tracking via WAZE can help in the interim.

  15. Well, they do have a download for Linux. But it is unsupported. It needs to either be supported or open source so we can self-support (like we do for so much other stuff). So, clearly, I am not in their intended market. So, clearly, they don't expect money from me. So, how can they make a valid legal case that me not paying them means they are losing any money (that I have deprived them of anything). FYI, I do pay for my music that has a cost attached, like at Magnatune.

  16. One can launch an instance in AWS EC2 giving it userdata to start an OpenVPN process on a different port than the default of 1194 (which they might block) without the need for SSH. If they try to block AWS HTTPS access, then they break web site control access for a few thousand Turkey-based businesses.

    GeoIP is overrated. VPNs help make it meaningless. I picked my VPN in a country with a language I cannot read, so, now, many ads look like jumbled text to my eyes, as I scan the page.
