I'm going to go a limb here and assume it's a proof of concept. The article is pretty thorough at explaining the process, which can be refined if the user decides to go further.
I'm pretty sure I was reported by someone I disagreed with in the comments of a political post. My point was that I bypassed "proving" because I refused to comply to their rule.
I've seen no evidence of different treatment based on race. Would you mind citing your source?
I've had a clearly fake name on Facebook for years. A couple weeks ago I got message from one of their reps, letting me know that there was an issue about my name, and that it was currently being reviewed. I had no intention to link that account to my real name, as it was mostly political whining and interaction with a few close friends. I basically told them that I wouldn't change the name and that they should just delete the account. A couple days later they responded by telling me that my name did not break TOS and that I was free to use my fake name. So I'm not even sure that policy is even enforced, steered... maybe.
Constipation has sometimes produced the bloodiest scenes. My grandfather, who died a centenarian, was Cromwell's apothecary; he has often told me that Cromwell had not been to the toilet for a week when he had his king's head cut off. - Voltaire
Weren't they recently caught silently logging GPS coordinates and transmitting them once the phone was connected to a computer? How is it not in there interest to utilize personalized data?
Other than obeying the law and paying taxes, he has no responsibility to the city. Why has it become so fashionable to project obligation onto others? The guy is creating 20+ jobs this year, what more would he need to do to fulfill this "responsibility to the overall city?"
The Economist for world and business news.
Planet Money(podcast) for help understanding news about world economics.
Nature.com for articulate reports of the natural sciences. I've started reading nautil.us, and have nothing but good things to say.
wartard.blogspot.com is a little aggressive, but I still find it the best source for understanding military intention.
I've demo'ed mine for numerous people of varying ages and backgrounds. I've heard one or two comments about the mask being heavy/uncomfortable, but it was never a deal breaker. The most telling thing for me is that everyone who tries the Oculus leaves impressed with it.
From my understanding, Google is currently working with the city to provide an alternative solution. Not that I think that would dampen the current biligerence of some of their critics.
Google is currently working with the city on a better solution. The city, and everyone in it, have incentive to cooperate with Google since they attract tax revenue, while attempting a solution to not bring extra congestion to the city streets. I don't believe this merits the level of hostility that I have seen.
I'm a recent fan of Daniel Shiffman. I just finished "The Nature of Code" the other day and can say that it was the first programming book that I didn't want to end. Glad to see him doing more teaching.
