Many of the sites which operate age verification services say they do not retain ID, videos or images required for them to carry out age checks for any longer than necessary.
Pinky promise?
How about I just pay for a good VPN that isn't under your finger and avoid a "oops, somehow these IDs got leaked" crisis.
"But then how are we supposed to know what you're doing?"
Exactly.
Agreed, and actually I'm fine with some ideas not being everyone's favorite. As the Vulcan philosophy says, infinite diversity in infinite combinations (IDIC).
What I was mainly referring to was the VERY long standing attitude from Paramount to viciously come after anyone who does anything remotely resembling Star Trek assets. Non-profit fan based stuff included. If they aren't getting a cut, then you WILL NOT do it. Learned that in the 80s, wondering why programs made n BASIC were obviously modeled off of Star Trek stuff, but used other names for everything.
Funded by public money through taxes, now have to be funded directly through donations from the public. While the public still gets taxed. Hmmm.
The complicated math is for the one guy who made the tables and charts. The rest of you just look it up. It's fine, it's how we've always done it. Even sending people to the Moon had lookup tables for precalculated things. Although those guys were legend, ever try to use a sliderule?
Been on the internet too long, was searching for something resembling Loss.
Your value is your money and what money you bring in for your employer and taxes. That's it. If they can't have access to your money in some way, you are a non-person to them.
Those driving simulators where you can adjust the reaction time to show how someone impaired would react are scary. And that's just reaction time, a drunk/exhausted person may not even realize how off they are so everything is fine to them.
True, but only if the latest theories on Big Crunch being back on the table don't hold up. Debian ought to not only push out 64 bit time, but place "now" right in the middle to cover any discoveries of an older universe. Hell, they ought to do that and make it 128 bit, to cover anything.
Exponentials can be profound when you grasp them for that fleeting second.
Be amazing if the whole concept of that episode was first and foremost a setup to use that for a punchline.
Seems like it works fine for a meme purpose, which it was obviously for. The framing and focus is actually spot on for giving all the info a viewer needs.
but they've (Paramount) also been going downhill for a while.
lots of long time Star Trek fans' eyes twitch
Indeed.
I'm convinced the AI models ran across the "best place to test is in production" joke in training and thought it was a valid process.
I mean, it is a valid process. You will get far faster results that way than on a test server.
