"Your fingerprints are not secret & as a result, they are bad authentication tokens because they are easy to clone and hard to revoke. It's like issuing you a password at birth & then never letting you change it. It's an incredibly bad idea from a security perspective." @doctorow@twitter.com https://twitter.com/JosephSteinberg/status/1161875341679267840

@brightneedle There's a whole thing about science as a process having to constantly throw out bad science to get into there, which they don't understand or are being deliberately obtuse about as cover for their prejudices. They love to use obviously bad science to launder bias and bad politics.
The Carnegie Library System workers have unionized and this gleeful piece about it is hilariously good https://splinternews.com/hahahaha-suck-it-andrew-carnegie-1837268365

I'm feeling mildly triggered because some tourists touched me suddenly from behind, to get my attention.
It was fucking pointless anyway, because I heard the cashier, they just thought I wasn't moving fast enough or something.
I heard them worriedly whispering, "He said, 'Don't touch me!'" amongst themselves like I was the rude one to say anything...like, keep your hands off strangers, fucko. Jesus.
And when strangers in the city switch from shouting rudely at me in English to shouting rudely at me in Spanish, because I can't be deliberately ignoring them.
It must be because I don't understand what they're saying!
This iteration of Atari should just say fuck it and become a fashion company.
And they should, specifically, be a fashion company that make street clothes that require batteries.
Bluetooth booty shorts, baby.
loss of a talented scientist to senseless violence
UC Irvine astrophysics PhD student Jose Antonio Flores Velazquez killed in drive by shooting. Child of immigrants from Mexico. Dreamed of helping his dad retire from construction work.
"Before he died, he submitted a draft of his research paper in which he used advanced supercomputer simulations to interpret telescopes’ observations about the rate at which galaxies form stars"
