Not a fan of facial rec / tracking as a rule, but for those of us who follow football, there's also been some serious assholes out there who should never be let into a stadium again.

However, what I'm not sure of is connecting it with law enforcement, ban them from the stadiums or block their social media, etc., but when they say "Discrimination is a criminal act" are they saying they're trying to criminalize some football hooligans for social media posts -- that's a slippery slope.

The laughable $3500 price point probably had Zuck breathing a sigh of relief, even Apple fanatics will have to pause at that price. I have an older (now) HTC Vive Pro, and while I like it, I can't see what Apple is offering, especially in terms of games and its walled garden, that would in anyway tempt me to drop that amount of cash (yes, I know it's more than just VR, it's AR too etc, but it's features don't particularly interest me). I'll probably get a new VR/AR headset at some point, but will stay in the $400-500 range.

Sidenote: while the Vision Pro no doubt is more comfortable than my Vive Pro, I still find I only want to wear it for short periods of time. I can't see doing an 8 hr day it -- I wonder about long term affects on vision and other unknowns with heavy continual use, I feel like I always need a bit of an adjustment time visually when leaving VR environments.

FB should never be considered a reliable news source, so this is a win for everyone.

"Healthcare is pretty nontechnical"

Can't tell if you're trolling or just clueless...

"Cybersecurity is not a primarily technological problem that requires a primarily engineering solution," Shapiro writes. "It is a human problem that requires an understanding of human behavior." That's his mantra throughout the book: "Hacking is about humans." And it portends, for Shapiro, "the death of 'solutionism.'"

It requires both -- understanding why and how humans hack, AND using that info to inform your engineering and tech solutions. There will always be hackers and the need for cybersecurity, not sure why they article claims he has "some penetrating insight", it's patently obvious.

It's the same as saying theft or murder are an unsolvable problem, duh. There will sadly always be theft and murder, but it doesn't mean you don't keep upping your game to combat/address/mitigate it.

non "technical" field i.e healthcare

Um? do you know what the word 'technical' means, and do you know what i.e. means, omg lol

you know the rest

JavaScript and delight should never be used in the same sentence. Hell, even the guy who invented JSON thinks it should be retired.

For everyone dismissing this as just fearmongering or shrugging their shoulders, what this does say is the plant fucked up and had an uncontrolled leak, which leads to concerns like 'how did it happen', 'what else could happen', and 'is this plant being well and safely managed'. So yeah, it is a big deal.

"... released into groundwater, and that contaminated groundwater had moved beyond the original location." If you lived nearby you might not be so nonchalant about it

I am happy to see them get punished for their absolutely disastrous handling of their faulty (and in some cases seriously dangerous) CPAP gear. AND they knew there were problems with their gear: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/1... (sorry for paywall)

While I do feel for the employees who were probably not part of the business decisions, it took TWO $#@%@ YEARS, yes YEARS, to finally resolve this issue and replace my CPAP. First, they were promising quick repairs, then it was going to be longer, then I got another email, "sorry... we can repair yours, but we'll give you $50 for it" (yes, a paultry $50 if you return it). Seriously I could bore all with the series of BS emails they sent out apologizing and explaining why they couldn't fix it. Ultimately, my HMO got involved to expedite me getting a new machine.

Philips is also now in so many lawsuits over this mess, they're consolidating them all. I hope they lose their shirts. Bastards
