  • Congratulations for being handful.

  • Not good to be pessimistic, but Soylent Green, here we come.

  • That seems like a definitely proof that the Flintstones had Nintendo.

  • They need those brain cells to combat the scams, and hence, less dementia. ;-)

  • Thanks. This could be a useful tool, but the scoring seems a bit "beta" at the moment. Still like the Recommended flair for Firefox better.

  • With airlines, it still seems to be voluntary and justified by convenience. (https://www.businessinsider.com/american-airlines-facial-recognition-boarding-dfw-aviation-trend-2019-8)

    For boarding-crossing trip related to CBP, it seems you can still explicitly opt-out, possibly incurring inconveniences. But it maybe less voluntary in the long run (also because of inconveniences.)

    For foreigners needing to travel in-and-out of the US, they will always be more willing to submit to the whims of Airport/US authorities.

  • TLDR;

    In November 2022, LastPass, a password manager service, suffered a data breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing encrypted and plaintext data for over 25 million users. Since then, there has been a series of cryptocurrency thefts targeting individuals in the tech industry, totaling more than $35 million. These thefts primarily targeted individuals deeply integrated into the cryptocurrency ecosystem, including employees of crypto organizations and venture capitalists.

    Researchers, led by Taylor Monahan, CEO of MetaMask, have identified a common factor among these victims: they had previously used LastPass to store their "seed phrase," which is a critical private key for accessing their cryptocurrency investments. Armed with this seed phrase, attackers can instantly access and transfer the victim's cryptocurrency holdings.

    The LastPass breach exposed vulnerabilities in its security, particularly related to the master passwords and encryption settings. LastPass users who stored important passwords, especially for cryptocurrency accounts, are urged to change their credentials immediately and migrate their crypto holdings to offline hardware wallets. Alternatives like 1Password, which offer additional security layers like a Secret Key, are recommended.

    While the research suggests a strong link between the LastPass breach and the cryptocurrency thefts, it's challenging to definitively prove causation. Nonetheless, security experts advise taking immediate action to protect digital assets.

  • "Mr President, we have no armors to protect the planes against bombs' fragmentation."

    "Very well, let them have car tires."

    ps: it must be effective against something.

  • They're trying to push it up to 97% compliance, apparently mandated by Congress. So, generally, don't cross the US border. Here's an article from EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/08/end-biometric-border-screening

    DHS recently took the alarming position that “the only way for an individual to ensure he or she is not subject to collection of biometric information when traveling internationally is to refrain from traveling.”

  • Concentrate just at the tip of your nose where the breath touches the tip leaving the body, when your breath in, think "in", when you breath out, think "out". Determine to keep you mind at that, but be relaxed while doing it. Works well when you are already tired, i.e. at the time that you usually go to sleep.

    This is like, thought replacement. It's a "Buddhist" technique.

  • Getting ready....

  • Good explanation, like the previous one.

  • Your post sounds like a jest or an exploratory thought; otherwise, it's borderline paranoid.

    More entertaining thoughts:

    • are you willing to take the red pill/blue pill
    • we may be living in a simulation
  • You can eat anything you like, as much as you like, followed by a pill. Sound like an environmental and social and poverty-problem disaster. Pretty much a theme of the Hunger Games.

  • It's a miracle! Hallelujah!

  • Turn it off and put it in a Faraday-cage bag.

  • How convenient. Now we can blame the "accidental" killing on the bots.

  • I am always paranoid about having unknown wounds on my skin. Almost always chase it away, unless I really need to concentrate.
