There are far too many trolls who ill deserve the title. If you can be doxxed you're doing it very wrong. You have to create a whole new identity, use proxies located in non-friendly nations or TOR and never ever let your two identities share a single solitary detail.
Anyone smart enough to do that is smart enough to find better ways to employ their time than harrassing random strangers.
There's a reason why no culture on Earth uses the idiom "as smart as a troll."
Likewise "as pretty as an airport." -Douglas Adams.
Welp, that's another $205 million down the drain because someone forgot to ask teh internets.
Surely there has to be some other way to confirm the machine works than having it tell you it worked.
Yes, by building it such in a way that the only explanation for it going "ping" is that it has detected a gravitational wave.
Not that it will just go "ping," in any case. It's not like the LHC just went "ping" when they were looking for the Higgs. It returned a huge amount of data which had to be processed, at the end of which the conclusion was, to 99.9999% certainty or whatever it was, that the data could only be explained by a Higgs boson.
There are also, apparently, two other detectors at other locations to confirm LIGO "pings."
That'll learn yer not to read YouTube descriptions.
I simply meant that large glass lenses -- even those clear to visible light -- will serve to hide any facial features behind them to IR.
The IR emitters aren't meant to hide features - how would they do that, anyway? They're meant to dazzle the camera, break up outlines, and possibly - if they strobe - confuse tracking. And they work on visible light cameras; no-one brought up IR cameras until you did, though they'd probably do the same for them as well.
So the emitters aren't trying to do the job of glass.
or those pictures weren't actually involving much in the infrared spectrum.
The fact there were in more-or-less natural colour should have been your first clue
So what would be more or less "fair" about altering the percentage based on total revenue?
Except that, as I recall, they can now do high-accuracy facial recognition based on bone structure alone - something that can't be hidden by dark glasses, hairstyles
It can be quite easily hidden by hairstyles if they cover up said bone structure.
or any amount of face paint.
If they're inferring bone structure from visible light images, then this sounds like just the job for face paint. People have been enhancing/redefining their cheekbones with make up for years.
Just be sure to stand still, because they've made great strides in gait recognition as well.
Walk without rhythm. Don't attract the DHS.
Then we'll look for the house next to the house with no numbers.
Anyway, for the full effect, you should walk around naked
I'm waaay ahead on this one.
Regular old glass blocks the vast majority of infrared. No special IR "emitters" are necessary.
How would you imagine than an IR emitter would block IR, in any case?
The emitters are there to dazzle IR-sensitive cameras.
I recently discovered that a partner web site of a financial institution I do business with makes it trivially easy to view documents that do not belong to me.
Presumably, then, your data is viewable to others. First thing I'd do is demand that my data gets removed until the problem is fixed. Then I'd tell everyone who needs to know that I won't be uploading any more documents to this other website until someone else tells me I must, thereby taking responsibility for me doing so.
Mind you, I'm in the fortunate position of having directors who take me seriously when I tell them things like that.
Make sure no EMP-hardened helicopters have been stolen from Monte Carlo!
including wireless audio streaming from ear to ear
So I can hear what my left ear sounds like with my right ear?
That might get confusing...
The abstract of the research only goes as far as to say there are "links" and that "further studies" are warranted.
Even the Grauniad only goes so far as to say that it "suggests" that saunas help you live longer, as does the Slashdot summary.
Yes, that has got to be cheaper than just a High Speed Railway, hasn't it?
Is CHSR a government project?
In which, yes, it probably will be a lot cheaper.
Yeah, that's right, satire!
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
