Clear’s Use of Facial Recognition could be a TSA workaround to the law

The TSA has attempted to roll out more facial recognition in airports but has so far been blocked from doing so. Clear is stepping in to gather all that biometric data for them, in addition to the fingerprints and Iris scans they already have, and provid it to TSA directly while making a profit on the side from doing so. ...

modifier ,

TSA hates Clear and their steps into facial recognition are meant to, among other things, eradicate them. Clear is already living on borrowed time and their value proposition has already been largely eroded by traditional precheck. CAT-2 is the coup de grace.

Ungh, perfection.

Even as a bit, that's just too many emoji.

Which is a shame because the joke doesn't need them to be funny

modifier ,

Well I certainly apologize to you for any pain I've caused and I will make sure to smooth things over with the joke too.

I bet the remaining redditors could figure out a way to salt the proverbial earth for the ai, even as the site dies slowly.

    Just commenting here to say hi to all of the historians of the future that will be digging through the old internet archives to try and piece together how humanity destroyed itself.

    Hey folks, by now most of us could see it coming but felt helpless to stop it.

    modifier ,

    Precisely.

    modifier ,

    I don't even know how to use this thing but I bought one reflexively when I got the sense it would likely be outlawed in the future.

    modifier ,

    I think you accidentally followed the instructions correctly.

    modifier ,

    Ah, boring.

    Well now I'm just not sure that's true, and it certainly depends on what you're going for. It stands to reason that cold water in an enema has a lot more surface area and will thus dissipate heat much more quickly than a very cold cube of coconut oil, especially if it's cold in the center.

    Plus an enema won't provide lubrication, if that's what is desired.

    Which part?

    You need to signal your willingness to ruin it if you want Wall Street to take you seriously.

    modifier ,

    Or just...both

    I must ask, nay demand, that from now on when referring to my testicles, they are referred to individually and as distinct entities to each other and the scrotum.

    modifier ,

    This is sublime.

    Stipulated without objection but I'm not sure what point you are intending to make. And, based on the logic in this thread, you can't get slapped in the nuts without surgically accessing them first and we should all start talking about getting slapped in the scrotum - which is still technically different than getting slapped in the taint, so whatever point you're making is safe.

    modifier ,

    Based.

    modifier ,

    Definitely exceeded my expectations.

    modifier ,

    I generally sort by everything:12 hour and feel that I get a pretty good and relatively 'clean' cross section of the content.

    modifier ,

    It's all that damn soy they want to way nowadays.

    modifier ,

    Yes, this resonates, though I try to resist the urge to curtail my sarcasm.

    I do find myself using sarcasm in a self-deprecating manner more than I used to, as it feels less prone to misinterpretation, or at the very least, that most misinterpretation would be unlikely to be taken at someone else's expense.

    modifier ,

    This feels like a joke that anticipates the community notes as a punchline. I don't frequent Twitter, but I have to imagine this is a burgeoning genre of comedy tweet

    modifier ,

    Sure agreed; anyone who has seen Arrested Development has seen this basic dynamic play out a few dozen times, and that's just one example.

    Did you have one epically infuriating shopping trip spread out across multiple posts or are parking lots part of your beat?

    Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow (www.newindianexpress.com)

    Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow::A Gartner survey found that 53 per cent of consumers believe the current state of social media has decayed compared to either the prior year or five years ago.

    We are all DigitalFrank on this blessed day.

    This reminds me of an interesting dynamic I've witness this holiday season.

    Now, to set the stage, most of my extended family and friends know well that I don't do social media. I left Twitter way back when it was just becoming necessary to grapple with the idea of the blue check, and Trump was still just some reality TV guy with cartoon hair the last time I made a Facebook post. I never got Instagram, TikTok, or any of those 2nd run of social media apps.

    Everyone who knows me knows this about me. But this year when I talk about actually deleting my Facebook, people are aghast. No one is bothered that I haven't posted there in a decade, but me actually deleting my account is something more akin to actual death to a lot of these people. I don't get it.
