Loops will be limited to Android and iOS, with the exception of video links which will have web previews.

I don't have the bandwidth to support web, and this enables us to build much richer experiences like AR Filters!

Holy Hell. 😶 Federal election subverson #charges.

Per Slate.

After oral arguments at the #SupremeCourt in a grand #bargain that appears to make practical sense as a #compromise is beginning to come into view: The Supreme Court unanimously, or nearly so, holds that #Colorado does #not have the #power to #removeDonald Trump from the #ballot, but in a separate case it rejects his #immunity argument and makes #Trump go on #trial this spring or summer on #federalelectionsubversion charges.

The of the fingerprint sensor implementations used for is hardly surprising. Biometrics is very hard to get right, and even then there is the fundamental issue: Biometrics alone shouldn't really be used for authentication to begin with.

Even if the current flaws would be fixed, I would not recommend using biometrics alone for authentication. It could be used as part of multi-factor authentication, assuming the other factors are strong enough.

"Kompromiss bedeutet: Zurückstellen dessen, was die zu Verbindenden trennt, zugunsten dessen, was sie verbindet. Jeder Tausch, jeder Vertrag ist ein Kompromiss, denn Kompromiss bedeutet: sich vertragen.“

So that shrieking windbag Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has admitted she is openly coordinating with Trump to keep an “impeachment inquiry” into Biden open for as “long and excruciatingly painful” as possible. This is the real “weaponization” of the government: going after the President with absolutely no evidence, solely for political points.

Agree. She and her ilk are in to PERFORM, not to do the peoples' business.

Leisureguy, to psychology

Raymond Chandler wrote in "The Big Sleep" (1953):

"There ain't no clean way to make a hundred million bucks," Ohls said. "Maybe the head man thinks his hands are clean but somewhere along the line guys got pushed to the wall, nice little businesses got the ground cut from under them and had to sell out for nickels, decent people lost their jobs, stocks got rigged on the market, proxies got bought up like a pennyweight of old gold, and the five per centers and the big law firms got paid hundred-grand fees for beating some law the people wanted but the rich guys didn't, on account of it cut into their profits. Big money is big power and big power gets used wrong. It's the system. Maybe it's the best we can get, but it still ain't any Ivory Soap deal."

Using an inflation calculator, I found the $100 million in 1953 is worth just over $1 billion in today's dollar, so Chandler's character Ohls is talking about billionaires.

A quotation from Lincoln, Abraham:

«««««
The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgment of …

spaceflight, to SpaceX

#ArianeGroup 🇪🇺 was so #desperate to ensure the #Susie concept stood out that it proposed recovering the #spacecraft propulsively. To enable this kind of recovery, the spacecraft would be required to launch with a large reserve of propellant ⛽ that would not be necessary if it was being recovered with a parachute 🪂 system. In a vehicle like the #SpaceX #Starship upper stage, this fuel spend can be mitigated by its huge #capacity. However, in a vehicle as small as Susie, this tradeoff becomes more than a little hard to swallow. The US 🇺🇸 #SpaceShuttle was the product of this same kind of extreme #compromise which, in the end, ensured that it was not capable of delivering on its most important #capabilities https://europeanspaceflight.substack.com/p/funding-arianegroups-susie-concept
