For some definitions of 'better' a passive ID system is true.
For the rest of us, however, a passive ID is expressly what we do not want. When I am authenticating to a piece of technology, I want explicit control to trigger that action. I do NOT want it to happen without me thinking. I do NOT want it to become the assumed condition at all times.
The scenario for the future is passive Face ID devices peppered throughout our environment, tagging us everywhere we go. Not at all interested. Specifically, I am not interested in participating in the development of that technology by paying lots of extra $$ to be an early adopter.
It's radical leftist feminists who are pushing for porn censorship these days because it "promotes sexual violence" and "objectifies women." The whole religious right puritan push died decades ago.
I wonder if you even live here.
Indeed. President Trump's campaign and election did a lot to drain the Religious Right gasbags. That, along with terminating the Bush and Clinton dynasties, is one of the best things coming out of his presidency.
Apps? Seriously? Facebook runs a website. I would never allow binaries produced by Facebook to run on any of my equipment. I don't even allow Facebook logins on any of my main browsers.
Things like Facebook apps are immediately wiped on new Android devices as a first step in prepping them for use.
I would agree that for the most part they are morally bankrupt. So we should do whatever we can to discourage people from being corrupted by the morally bankrupt culture these operations disseminate.
It seems so tedious for people to be churning the same mainstream crap round and round on the net. Torrent distribution can only be so efficient before it turns into a big waste of bandwidth.
It seems the punishment in this case is extreme, but this guy was helping spread the poison into our culture.
Pedestrians can easily step over broken chunks of cement. Even if there are bits of metal protruding out of it. Cars going 20-25 mph can often avoid them, too. Clearly there is a need for a lot more random 'calming chunks' in the road bed in urban areas where pedestrians are common.
One problem is that self-driving-cars will lead to human drivers becoming increasingly poorer at driving. If you don't practice driving under 'good' conditions, when the storm hits and your self-driving-car isn't up to it, you won't be either.
(even though it is pointless there, as the tunnel is between a closed-source app made by Facebook employees and Facebook-owned servers).
Don't say it's 'pointless'. Just like Google's strident advocacy of "https everywhere", this prevents third parties from doing MITM stuff and injecting content that Facebook doesn't profit from.

You can't help but share if you play the CD through speakers. Much to the chagrin of your downstairs neighbor.

I'm more and more convinced that Rei is Elon Musk himself.
Too realistic to be just a sock puppet.
Systematic coercion is also known as an ideology.
Try again.
We could always make our own music and not just shuffle around recordings that a few people have made and giant conglomerates control.
But it's easier just to torrent the mainstream stuff.

Probably 4 billion or so.
How much did dude make running this operation? I didn't see that mentioned.
The truth is, the 'Digital "Rights" Management' acronym is what needs to be replaced.
It's not my digital rights that it manages, nor yours.
Did he have an ideological cause behind his acts? If not, he was an individual adventurist, not a terrorist.
But really, what was your point? To use the way he has been treated in the media to legitimize Islamic Terrorists?

Those were Federal Environmentalist police, engaged in a Just Cause (tm) during the Obama Administration.
Into his trailer? Don't you mean, under his bridge?
Or a toddler.
Which won't work here. We hate children on Slashdot.
Seattle does not have a standing army, nor is it feasible to block any and all moving vans from leaving city limits.
I used Procomm 2.4.2. Procomm Plus was a commercial turd.
When 2.4.2 became obsolete, we all switched to Telemate, which rocked.
So you are saying that when you sit in the drivers seat of a car, you have license to run over anybody in your way?
Who said anything about ancestors? Only you.
The only 'fork' that I know of that is working out pretty well is Soylent News. They probably don't want publicity on threads like this, tho.
defended Putin since we do a lot of bad stuff too.
No, that's more the type of thing an old-school Ted Kennedy liberal would do.

The whole thing was a marketing scam by Apple. "Look, we have secure phones. The FBI rants about them."

Wow. We thought you were here to discuss the topic. And here you are, tipping your hand. You're just here for the snark.
