Midnight Rider - Allman Brothers Band.

It’s a fantastic song, the first time. Then I kept hearing it on Spotify and got sick of it. It has a repeating riff that’s just too much too often. I tried listening to it again just now, and, no not ready yet.

The funny thing is the same thing happened with The Staunton Lick - Lemon Jelly a few years ago, in the same way. And it has a similar but distinct repetitive riff.

More similar to you, there are a few songs I associate with old girlfriends, even if I liked them before bringing them into the relationship, they’re not the same any more.

But on the other hand, my favorite songs from high school or college aren’t my favorite songs anymore either. Everything eventually changes.

I have one friend who only listened to his favorite album a few times, because he never wanted to experience listening to it and not liking it any more. In some ways, I have to respect that. It’s kind of romantic and also very low stakes. But that’s not my style. Songs come and go. Music is still my favorite.

It’s a joke based on how we often see reposted memes, in general.

I don’t really know about it in general but I remember two Catholic friends I had who were dating, the girl joked/hinted to her bf about how they should hurry up and get married so they could have sex…

Nice to see them talking about this

I’d call this political as well

Already seen it :)

I’m taking about the error codes, the “is it broken, or just defrosting the coils” conundrum. The mysterious ways fluid flows through tubes or pumps (or not), the filters you have to clean, the pail thing you have to empty of water if you weren’t able to situate it near a drain, the existential question of, “is this thing actually slowing down mold growth, or am I delusional,” …

These days I’m typically mobile first, I use JuiceSSH and RevolutionIRC as apps that do mobile versions of desktop tasks quite well.

I am just not sitting down at a desktop or laptop very often these days unless I have to. But I always have my phone, so I’ll use it if I can.

But I’m also not a “power user” so maybe not the target for your site!

More like, I need to heat this frozen thing for 4 minutes. Also while that’s going on, I want to set a timer for my pasta which is cooking on the stove for 6 minutes to remind me to check it.

Dehumidifiers are so mysterious and needy.

Oh no, not again.

community colleges are great and easy less expensive

I had this and it was sinus congestion.

You are playing fast and loose with your assumptions.

1. “They” do not have a database of our faces. More specifically, states do, at the DMV, and the US state department does, for passports. Also, private companies do, harvesting publicly available photos from Facebook, etc.

A few years ago this was no big deal, and lots of people tagged pictures of themselves, but now that facial recognition algorithms are here, we have to start thinking about how to mitigate the privacy concerns.

There is a big privacy distinction between looking at someone’s face, and taking a picture of it.

I reject your terms and definitions.

Whether it is for commercial advertising purposes or commercial surveillance purposes, I don’t see why surveillance should have less protection.

So far you are all saying this is not correct, but without some kind of documentation it seems like companies and governments are seeing how far they can go before getting pushback.

Just because you say it is public doesn’t make it so.

The fact that you have to sign model consent forms is proof enough that it’s not public.

No my face is not public data. While I may choose to appear in public with my face, if a private party wants to use my likeness, in advertising for example, they have to get my consent. It’s not in the public domain, unless I’m a celebrity. I see no reason why we should just roll over and allow anyone to use our faces for any purposes without contesting it.

If some government spy wants to make a dossier on me, it would be easy to hire a photographer to take a recent photo. But they can’t do this on a large scale. What they can do is pay a company that already has a model of my face, which I object to, and then they can try to run facial recognition algorithms on anyone who turns out at a demonstration, for instance.

I can only mitigate the threat of public photos of myself so much, like not having photos on social media or LinkedIn. Maybe someday I’ll be able to opt myself out of facial recognition databases.

Choosing not to let the TSA routinely take a high quality photo of my face is just a small way to mitigate against how many facial recognition databases I’m in, and how high quality their models are.

If any of this is wrong I would be glad to be corrected.

Hey thanks for sharing your project! H hopefully this feedback is helpful.

I wasn’t able to get far on mobile. It was annoying to have to be in landscape mode, and then I couldn’t advance the tutorial in the demo.

If it is supposed to be keyboard-based, maybe just don’t allow phone users?

Why would you defend this?

We trust an enormous amount of data to the federal government, and until recently, that privacy risk was mitigated by the fact that the branches did not automatically share data with each other.

Now, they are trying to vacuum it all up, and increase the power of the government.

Why should the federal government have my driver’s license photo anyway? That’s through the state. And even if they did, why should I give them easy access to an updated photo of me, cross referenced with my name and identity?

If the answer is it speeds up the TSA’s job and makes them more accurate, I don’t think that’s a compelling enough reason for me personally to give up that little bit of privacy.

You don’t need to provide a reason, you just have to say you choose to opt out.

Frankly with how easily this administration attempts to skirt the law, and defy judges that tell them to knock it off, I would not trust that the TSA is always deleting the photos that they’re supposed to.

Hehe I like the pilot more than all the episodes… I mean I like them too but I loved that action sequence.
