In an interview with CBS This Morning, Clearview AI's founder says it's his right to collect photos for the facial recognition app. Invading people's privacy is their job

It's so comforting that corporations working on their own facial-recognition AIs are willing to go to bat for us, and try to prevent other companies from creating facial-recognition AIs.

It may sound creepy and unreal, but hackers can also exfiltrate sensitive data from your computer by simply changing the brightness of the screen Good to know: if hackers can have a camera watching your screen, they can get information from it
OK, not quite what they're up to here - the actual 'hack' seems both obvious and awkward.

Back in 2018, Google started blocking some ads in Chrome by default. To do this, the company relies on guidance from the Coalition for Better Ads, which developed the Better Ads Standard. Like the ones on YouTube and other Google properties?

SpaceX has launched a new web-based booking tool for its rideshare Falcon 9 launches, a service it announced last year to expand its addressable market to include small satellite customers who don’t have the budget or need to book a full rocket, which can cost upwards of $60 million.

HackerRank has published its 2020 Developer Skills Report, which shows C# gaining ground in the list of "best-known" programming languages for 2020. Rocketing from 7th to 6th!
And based on the fact that JavaScript is #1, it's obviously not a "best known-language" list.

In a new attempt at augmented reality smart glasses that actually impress consumers, Bosch is doing away with images projected onto lenses. Instead, its Light Drive glasses will beam images directly onto users’ eyeballs with tiny lasers. Unfortunately, you can't re-aim them to get rid of pesky interlopers
Fortunately, Microsoft is working on AR goggles for people who have been blinded by lasers shooting into their eyes.

So they laser-print on your retinas?
Sounds pretty cool, but I'd rather watch people wearing them if they used older tech.
Dot-matrix, for example.

Wow. And to think I paid my ophthalmologist a crap-load of money to do that with my left eye in a procedure called Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, which uses a yellow laser to reactivate dormant cells in the eye which help moderate fluid balance. It's a treatment for glaucoma.

Unfortunately, hololens 2 is also laser projection to the eyeballs tech. Just an earlier and bulkier implementation.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
