For a second I thought they wear masks the wrong way, then I realized that those are hair nets for their beards.

But yeah, especially seeing the rest of their clothing the lack of gloves is weird.

Personally I don’t mind, but I find it problematic mostly because not everyone can be around dogs, be it because of allergies or past experiences.

This story gives me some Junji Ito vibes. shudders

I’m not really surprised, I’d actually assume that sexy John Oliver and the other protests created a lot of additional traffic. People post like crazy and a lot of people want to see that, especially since it got some coverage on news sites. Add to that the big majority of people who do not care (remember that 80% of traffic was still reached) plus some who may have been sympathetic enough to join the two day protest but don’t care enough to continue to stay away. It’s really not surprising that we’re back to normal numbers.

Thankfully this isn’t the only impact people currently still make, so this isn’t over. The real question now will be how else it might change Reddit.

That though process won’t even cross their mind. More like “See? The reopened communities are very active and actually generate MORE clicks now. We were right to force them open!”. Only if the new direction would produce less clicks or advertisers are bothered by it (“I wanted to advertise my camera in r/pics but the new direction makes it unprofitable”) they might look into where that “sabotage” is coming from and care about it.

Ah, yes, they don’t allow it because it muddles their data. Never forget that whatever rewards they give you aren’t free, you sell your data to them for that reward. They want to know which age group or gender buys which products how often, so card sharing messes with their data because suddenly all the “young lady” purchases are on the card of an old man or whatever. It’s actually not a huge problem if it happens once because they anyways need hundreds if not thousands of data points to learn anything from it (because they look at “average” purchases), but the cleaner the data set the easier it gets.

There were already trials where shops could predict if you are pregnant based on your purchases. How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did This card data is pure gold (if enough people participate), which is why stores love starting their own program to collect or join a big card provider who will share that data with them.

…why are there eyeballs on the glasses below her eyes? Like, what am I actually looking at?

There already are patients that have implants for years, such as Nathan Copeland with Blackrock Microsystems implants. Here’s a video to explain more about the process.

Progress is in my opinion disappointingly slow, considering development started decades ago. We still need daily calibration for such a task. Current implants already can last years, but it’s still not easy to “switch them out”. In fact, the current procedure is that you get one set of implants and if they need to be removed (after about 5 years) you can not renew them. Most BCI work is done in monkeys and other mammals for a good reason. It’s great that we have some human trials although I personally feel that most of them come too early and are more about the publicity than actually benefitting research at this point in time. The most reassuring thing out of human trials for me was hearing how they perceive having an implant. There’s no constant pain or whatever involved, which is reassuring for other mammals.

And without wanting to bring Elon too much into the discussion: Implants without an open wound are definitely the future, although other companies also have their own take on that available for years.

I’d say for a secure password in a manager, it’s not really harmful.
Someone who uses a manager and secure passwords will usually be aware of the “generate me a new unique, secure password” feature, so they will generate a new one and simply paste that into the page. They might be inclined to just add the bad practice “-01” although it honestly doesn’t make a unique, secure password worse unless the unencrypted password was somehow leaked. The delay in emergency situations mentioned in the post might still happen, although the harm there will depend on the exact situation and likely usually fall into the “annoying delay” category.

I absolutely agree that forced password changes need to die simply because a majority of users still tries to remember passwords and is therefore prone to bad practices, but for someone with a password manager and unique passwords it’s more unnecessary and annoying than actively harmful.
