TLDR; The Chinese state crediting the use of face recognition for its role in enabling populist measures and strong privacy protections against corporate abuse mean relatively high levels of Chinese consumer support for face recognition technology in daily life.

In reality, it's just a form of parallel construction:

TLDR, in China, phone tracking is the secret sauce that makes face recognition for law enforcement effective- because then you can reduce the size of the data set you're matching against.

ooh that is so much fun

I know twitter’s/the internet’s favorite pastime is to shit on Apple, but they don’t do this nonsense. PC manufacturers selling bargain machines at a ~$500 price point has skewed perception too. A $1k MacBook Air outperforms these machines and has virtually no bloatware

What pedestrians look like across Europe

I support cool indie games as much as I can because I remember what happened when nobody played Glitch and eventually the developer decided to build Slack instead so now we all have to waste entire years of our lives mired in a never-ending sea of dull, depressing conversations

Of that’s nice!!!

Wow I did not expect this celebrity divorce story to get even crazier but this truly shocking revelation from the former dog walker blew me away: https://bit.ly/3gll84C

4 - Make a “To-Don’t” List - This is a list of things that you shouldn’t do, no matter what. For me, this list includes things like checking my email first thing in the morning, working on the weekends, and checking social media frequently throughout the day.

I used social engineering 😇

Love it too!

I'm pretty proud of owning and running my own domain too. I don't federate out, but generally buy much of indie auth's design.

I actually think DNS is decentralized enough for my taste, but is rather difficult/expensive to set up and run a website (comparatively).

Love it!

I can imagine a world where we have our identities and data that we control with local first and distributed out

Yeah, I'm http://sgo.to!

That reminds me, actually, of another project we looked at early on: @t's and @aaronpk 's indie auth project!

Will post about it sometime!

That's all conservatism is anymore: "I want the world to be the way I thought it was when I was 8. It doesn't matter whether it was really that way or not, all that matters is that I don't like being a grown-up dealing with a big, complicated world and someone's gonna pay."

Recapping 8 potential revenue streams:

What else would you add?

We haven't seen anything genuinely useful come out of the year+ of web3 hype. Either innovate or go sell your stuff to Wall Street. Which is where this stuff actually works.

So you're the guy who bounces emails

I moved both the iPhone and the iPad a few feet away, and the problem stopped.

Love it. Just absolutely bananas behavior.

When your iPhone autocorrects “jet lag” into “JWT lag” you know it’s time for a vacation…for both you and the phone.
