  • This is copying a similar feature Apple added a while back.

    Given androids hardware situation and love for collecting all the data l, I understand why people don’t want to give biometrics to their Android devices.

    With the data and access our smartphones have, a numerical pin regardless of length, should not be an option anymore.

    I am surprised that neither platform is allowing voice authentication as a biometric. I’m not sure if Google supports it but Siri can already tell who is speaking.


  • Keeping in mind the DSM used the word retarded until DSM V came out in 2013.

    Another history fact around the DSM is that homosexuality was a mental disability but that was removed way back in 1974 and society didn’t shift as quickly with it as it has now.

    The issue with retard is that it is describing an actual medical condition and swapping the word isn’t going to change that.



















  • No, I’m good. I’m not here to make friends. I’m not even expecting to challenge anyone’s techno-religion. At best I would say this is devil advocacy but it’s not quite that since it’s not about what I believe or do not believe. But it’s about what others believe and the display of fervent belief in others intrigue me, especially where it exists in the face of clear unambiguous reality.

    For example, Trump supporters fascinate me in this same way. People say being nice is a better approach there as well, but i am not trying to deal with them or change their minds either. In that situation I refer to it as stick poking.

    Again, it’s the belief that intrigues me. The sociology behind it is understudied.
