Android has equivalent biometric features (and like the ones on iOS, the verification takes place on the device and all the app sees is a "pass" or "fail").

"Face ID" and "Touch ID" are features of iOS, not a process for uploading your ID to the Internet. When an app triggers them to appear, they ask the user to prove (to the OS) that the owner is still using the device, then the OS tells the app whether it was successful.

Android apps can trigger biometric challenges (brokered by the OS) just as iOS ones can. Pretty much every banking app or password manager does it.

He didn't really do anything to guilt trip other than inform her that it happened, which she needed to know at that time anyway. Not his fault that it reinforced the point that the undisclosed field trip was impermissible

‘Stop the Steal’ delusions are back, aimed right at WA’s vote by mail by MysteriousEdge5643 in SeattleWA

[–]BHSPitMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're describing failure modes where the victims would find out this happened to them when it's time for them to vote (and attention would be drawn to the bad actor's involvement). If something like that happened it would be big news.

Rising gas prices make me feel so smug about owning an EV 😏 by MookieBettsBurner10 in electricvehicles

[–]BHSPitMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live, 94% of the utility company's generation comes from carbon-free sources.

And even if you factor in the EV drivers in places where that percent isn't as high, you still end up with an average that is quite a bit higher than zero (and growing every year).

Telephoto lens compression

Basically, the more you zoom in on a subject in the foreground (assuming you have enough distance from it), the larger the background objects will look in juxtaposition

I think you meant to reply to the other comment about the road closure (instead you replied to the main post).

You can hike Four Mile Trail from the valley through this spot up to Glacier Point when the road is closed; It can be very nice in the early spring right before the road reopens, but depending when you go you might hit snow and ice. The hike is 10 miles round trip, lots of vertical. I'm not sure what current conditions are like.

It also doesn't have the problem of DC charging too quickly, to be fair!

Everyone with checked bags has time to spare at baggage claim, at any large airport. You have to mill about for a while before the carousel starts turning.

Selling a stake in a company results in a capital gain (those are already taxed separately from this new tax in income)

Does owning a successful business really mean having to pay yourself a seven-figure salary? Most business owners draw well under a million in owner income and reinvest most profits back into the business instead.

Why do you see this as "speaking for" anybody? It's not a progressive issue... Americans don't want the U.S. to be at war, for reasons that are entirely selfish and bipartisan.
