Computer vision won’t be stopped by misalignment.

Pick and place machines adjust for that on the fly, at sub millimeter tolerance.

A friend posted a computer generated line art picture of my house with an address.

As soon as I saw it I told him take it down. Who knows what serial killer will decide this is the sign they’ve been waiting for.

Finger print scanners include a pulse oxygen sensor. If blood isn’t flowing through, the fingerprint is rejected.

Wonder if retina scanners have a similar safeguard.

If ever involved in an accident talk to no one. Refer all to your attorney.

I opened my iPhone with the wrong finger the other day.

What if I'm not hurt. Are you suggesting it's all about the grift. Are you a barrister of good standing?

I went to MSG when I was a little girl, saw the Rockettes. I wasn't impressed because we were sitting in the cheap seats WAY IN THE BACK and I couldn't see much. And yes, there are much better places to go in NYC. My favorite thing to do in NYC is eat. Pizza, preferably.

Some people just can't see an antenna without having dirty thoughts, I swear.

Yep. Go for the liquor license. Strike at the beating heart of their restaurant's profit margin.

Agreed. Yes, some lawyers are skeezy bottom feeders who actively work to make the world worse for everyone, but that applies to every profession. Lawyers also work to enforce limits against the power of the State and giant corporations. It certainly seems very unfair that the laws and court procedures are so complex that it needs years of special education to navigate them - but that isn't the lawyers' fault. Lawyers didn't create the System, that would be politicians.

And yes, many politicians are also lawyers. But when they make dumb laws and ignore the tangled mess of the legal system, that's still not the fault of lawyers who aren't politicians.

Ha, I work for a firm that sues antitrust violators. If all those bastards started this program, I wouldn't have a phone or computer - which would be just as well because I'd also be blocked from pretty much every search engine out there.

Maybe MSG should take a good, long look over at Twitter these days and realize that weaponized spite isn't as great a business model as they think it is.

I'm rather concerned that MSG was able to get the facial recognition data on the law firm in the first place.

Good there is some more attention to this from liberal side. This prolem is mentioned more often by rwnjs in between their insane ideas. In fact it is the only sane thing I hear from the right side.
