> Biometrics are relatively convenient and very safe when they're used in place (not remotely) with a human agent overseeing. In your estimate, how large a percentage of biometric security implementations follow your description?

by playeren 7y ago
Sure, I'm all for a key based solution. My opposition is against using biometrics for anything beyond convenience features.

by playeren 7y ago
That's even worse. Impossible to change fingerprints if a malicious party has your biometrics.

You misunderstand. Off-time provides benefits that are almost impossible to achieve in even the best work environment. * PTO is not about motivation - it's about quality of work output.

by playeren 7y ago
As a manager I do not accept that team members skip PTO. We're not paying for it to be nice, we expect ROI. Happy, healthy people are generally productive, highly cooperative and inventive.

The possibility of a secret police state scares me more than any bombs or shootings ever could. It is absolutely an existential threat to freedom, because as part of its nature, it is able to quell dissent, and largely control the flow of i

I would guess that people in general are fearful of reprecussions when the antagonists are 'better connected', 'higher ranked' or 'richer'. Often the scariest threats are those implied.

I struggle to understand what points you are making. Are you saying that since these people are making life difficult for themselves, there can be no external causes behind that behavior? It sounds a lot like "their own fault, not my p

Most of the Slack channels I use are used async, and I only have notifications on for 2 out of ~15 channels. Good comms culture was much easier to develop with Slack + [Something for docs] for the teams I have worked with. But I very much u
