Love it, tho somehow I initially thought it was lighting from a phone screen, which has its own interpretation.

Cats, (en)tangled … This feels like the beginning of a quantum physicist’s joke.
I think the bias issues will always be there, but usually worsened, less detected (or delayed detection), and exacerbated when the people working on the original problem do not suffer such issues. Eg: if most people working on facial recognition are white and male.
While I do have my reservation with AI technologies, I think this is a worthwhile effort that the people encountering the same issues work to identify and address them, especially in this case they lead the effort, rather than just be a consultant on it.
They can lead the effort on collecting new data, or adapt new ways of looking at data, metricizing objectives in a more appropriate manner for the targeted audience. Based on the article, I think they are doing this.

Airlines increasingly use facial recognition systems for when travelers board aircraft. Generally, a passenger looks into a camera, the system compares their face to images on file, and confirms if the passenger is who they claim to be.
I’m very confused by this. What is the justification for taking another picture? Usually government ID/passport already has a picture on it.
Unless they are pushing for full automatic ID confirmation (which is a very bad idea), the people at the boarding gate could just confirm with their eyes, no?
In addition, I could see this especially concerning for international students, foreigners and visa workers. The mentality is not to disturb the system and it is highly likely that they will submit without a fight. Those without a law background like in the article are less willing to stand there and argue.
I fear this will further create conformity for those around before take off. No one wants to be the little bugger that makes a scene or holds off the line. Plus, this will further foster such submissive mentality for international travelers (eg their friends, their family) to expect and submit to these intrusive practices without question or the possibility to repeal. Slowly this adds onto the 75% target, and then it will keep growing, to 97%, then to 100% …
do you know how this compares with other file transfer/sync like syncthing?
off topic about the site: does anyone have weird scrolling with it? It kept jumping to different pages for me.
anw, the tool looks really cool. Been looking for something that supports different mobile options like this.
Not OP. But I’m personally curious about the question regarding how decisions are made, but with more focus from the perspective of user experience. As in, how do they decide which features to focus on?
While I’m a fan of Proton, sometimes they seem to be doing too many things simultaneously, which is good but I worry them spreading themselves thin.
How do they do user experience research, especially with many people in the privacy community usually turning telemetry off? What do they rely on to make decisions about features and user experience? Do surveys work for them? Who make the decisions afterwards?
Thank you for taking the time to write out your explanation and analysis! Very well put!
My initial thought is perhaps this anti-corruption unit is itself corrupt, so it’s making up an excuse to justify its own existence.
Can you clarify on the logic of this? I’m not sure I get it.
this show is adorable! the stories are quite wholesome and the cast are great!
