He’s absolutely terminally online. But the Tesla censorship/manipulation is definitely part of the package. The other day Musk said he’d undo Trump’s permaban which conveniently took over the news while the massive Tesla recall news was a blip in the radar.

Isn't the entire point of chip-and-pin that you can't read the private key off it? Reader sends a code, chip converts it into a different code and sends it back, without ever revealing the other half of the keypair.

Yeah literally every aspect of the entire plan was an abject failure. Failed to dig viable tunnels, failed to dig the non-viable tunnels quickly or cheaply, failed to actually make a hyperloop in the slow, expensive, non-viable tunnels. Instead you've got the world's worst theme park ride except they also failed to make the autopilot work in the tunnels so you have to just get taxi'd by some guy.

Why would they ever need to go 150mph or whatever? they don't, you're getting the various empty promises musk made confused first, he said hyperloop would be a vacuum tube train, like would be ideal for mars. this is not even feasible to attempt on earth then, there was the plan to just drill a warren of tunnels beneath cities, and make the vehicles in those tunnels move incredibly fast. this is at least possible to attempt on earth but it is fatally impractical for many reasons next, the plan was to just put cars in tunnels, but to adapt tesla vehicles so that they could use guide wheels and travel at a high rate of speed down the tunnels. this idea can at least be attempted within a reasonable budget of money and time, but the engineering challenges are moderate and the potential gain minimal at best finally, the plan was just to dig short segments of narrow tunnels between locations within a brisk walking distance. this is an entirely useless transportation system but it is at least relatively cheap to build the expo center allowed it because this is where they host the Consumer Electronics Expo as well as other expositions and conferences around technology, so it doesn't matter if they have a crappy but unique transportation system in the basement. likewise, the city of las vegas permitted expansion of the system so long as they didn't have to pay for it

 https://www.activisionblizzard.com/newsroom/2022/05/king-diversity-space-tool posted:The idea of a “tool” to make characters more diverse and inclusive may seem a little hard to wrap your head around. In practice, it has to be more than just, say, a pop-up reminder that between 2017 and 2021 nearly 80% of the highest selling games in the world featured white, male protagonists (according to a study conducted by Diamond Lobby). It needs to become a part of the incubation process from the start, baked into the pipeline as an unmissable and consistent step - which is exactly what this tool was designed to be. The cowards removed the picture from the article, but all the text is still there.

Harold Fjord posted:So you didn't read the article. I did and it's still nonsense. You can't assign values to identity like they're a D&D stat spread, and even if you could it's not actually useful for producing a meaningfully diverse cast because it treats everything outside of the straight white american mid-20s fully abled male not as valuable in its own right but as a sliding scale of exoticism. It's tokenism for a new age.

Invalid Validation posted:I never understood why people think he’s a genius. He doesn’t actually do anything other than spout off ideas a child would have. When a person wearing all the class signifiers of a serious businessman does that consistently for long enough without the slightest hint of shame, it generally works. It's simple social engineering. It's not much different from how Elizabeth Holmes was able to run Theranos for more than a decade and get considerably famous off it, just by dressing up like Steve Jobs and constantly insisting her company could do what all the experts said was absolutely impossible. I often see Theranos described as an elaborate fraud, but she didn't really do anything special. She just lied consistently and shamelessly, while expressing the proper social signaling to win the trust of the demographic she was trying to scam. Once people were predisposed to assume she was telling the truth, there was the fact that her claims would be pretty groundshaking if true, so they threw tons of money and fame at her. Xand_Man posted:I don't hate it The problem with putting "hard numbers" to diversity and feeding them into an algorithm is that there's still ultimately a human assigning all those values. If you've got an employee sitting at a desk with a list of racial groups trying to decide how many Diversity Points each one should be worth, there is a WAY deeper problem at play. Moreover, when you're trying to put numbers to something, there's a temptation to try to minmax and game the numbers - especially if some exec is setting hard number requirements. And some of the categories they're assigning points for seem like they have potential to drive outright offensive depictions, not just tokenism. Just look at this poo poo. There's a reason they pulled the images from the article. https://twitter.com/PhDedede/status/1525205571422781440

If you've got an employee sitting at a desk with a list of racial groups trying to decide how many Diversity Points each one should be worth, there is a WAY deeper problem at play. I agree with all of this (that grayed out "Cognitive Ability" gives me loving nightmares) and I don't really feel a need to defend Activision-Blizzard. However... It's a screening tool for unconscious bias. The alternative isn't "Hire diversely"; those things aren't mutually exclusive. It's a data-driven way to evaluate character diversity. I'd rather they do this sort of check in a rigorous way ( because let's be honest, in the Overwatch franchise they are 100% doing a 'diversity check' either way) then shoot from the hip. We've got decades of experience with that approach; while this is flawed it seems like a half step in the right direction. That being said I hope their DEI teams are watching this poo poo like a hawk.

Is it any better if instead of the trait scores being assigned manually by DE&I consultants they are automatically calculated from your existing asset population, so that it’s just a measure of how little you are representing that trait and helps to fill representation gaps? That way it doesn’t seem like some hosed up platonic ranking of races or whatever.

The terminal tells the bank "pin verified +card present" and the bank approves https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/banking/nopin/

If you capture all the relevant info off the chip, how would you know if its the real card or not. Having a private key pair changes nothing if you can directly clone the entire chip during a read. And if you capture enough of the info, you can spoof the chip as a mag strip since most of the same info needed to process a purchase is there.

Current chip and pin doesn't do anything really like MFA or verify with the bank, the reader itself does most of the authentication, which is a major problem since the card reader is effectively stupid and doesn't care if its a real or fake card as long as the information lines up during the processing with the bank.
