    I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.

    Also, this is a good read: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi

NIST: NIST Helps Fingerprint Examiners With New Data and Software Release. “A NIST collection of 10,000 fingerprints has now been fully annotated with details that will help train both human fingerprint examiners and AI tools. NIST has also released open-source software that can help evaluate and sort fingerprints according to their quality, potentially helping fingerprint examiners work more […]

  11. The State of Anti-Surveillance Design

    To outsmart #surveillance systems, it’s helpful to understand them. #Facialrecognition —which identifies an individual face—works differently from #biometric scans that look at a person’s #iris or #fingerprints , & those systems work diff from #ALPR , which could in theory match an individual’s movements to a car through a DB. & consumer-level facial recognition systems, like #Pimeyes , operate using diff #algorithms & DB

    CBC never talks about how to stop climate change because they are extractionists, oil expansionists, Alberta oil promoters. CBC is corrupt enough to call even building the new energy, stopping oil expansion "radical"

    The CBC is owned* in whole by the oil patch clique of Oil Corps.

  14. 43,000-year-old Neanderthal fingerprint discovered on stone is the world’s oldest

    In a discovery from the San Lázaro rock shelter in central Spain, near Segovia, archaeologists have unearthed what is thought to be the earliest known human fingerprint, challenging long-standing assumptions about Neanderthals’ symbolic and artistic capabilities...

    Not just #ChatControl.

    Can't wait for #Orban, and consequently #Putin, to get hold of this:

    »This will enable secure #automated exchanges of #fingerprints, #DNA profiles, #vehicle registration data, #facial images, and police #records through EU routers. At national level, Member States need to implement the Information Exchange Directive enhancing information exchange channels for seamless cross-border information flow, while ensuring their integration with Union-level systems, such as SIENA«

  17. "With the ongoing expansion of GPS tagging under the UK Home Office’s electronic monitoring programme, the Home Office has increasingly deployed non-fitted devices (NFDs) that track a person’s GPS location and request frequent biometric verification in the form of fingerprint scans.

    The NFDs deployed by the UK Home Office are small handheld devices with a fingerprint scanner that record a person’s location 24/7 (referred to as their trail data). Most recently, migrants are being provided with Android mobile phones equipped with a fingerprint scanner at the back, which are also equipped with 24/7 GPS tracking technology. The devices alert the person at random intervals throughout the day requesting their fingerprint scan, which it then compares against a representation of the biometric information stored on the device. This is in order to verify that the person has the device with them at all times for the purposes of tracking.

    Previous research PI did in relation to the NFDs determined that these alerts are sent to the wearer up to 5 times per day. Although as set out below, there are reports that individuals are in fact being sent many more alerts than this in a given day. Those subjected to these devices have cited detrimental impacts to their daily life and mental and physical wellbeing, due to the pervasive and erratic nature of these devices."
