> Now place a candle in the middle of the room, one that shines light in every direction. As the light bounces around the different corners, will it always illuminate the whole room? Or will it miss some spots? A side effect of proving the magic wand theorem, Eskin said, is that it conclusively answers this old question.

This is a point light in the middle of a regular polygon right? Why is this noteworthy? Is it that the light settles on all points evenly? Is it in spite of some sort of phase cancellation thing?

Despite the headline I don’t see anything about deleting data. Just that it won’t try to recognize you.

That being said, I went on my profile to check and it was already set to No (don’t do facial recognition). Is this the default? Or is this actually an old thing that I disabled a long time ago.

Seems like it was false! You can use this while married on Facebook

I look forward to seeing if your first statement is true.

It sounds to me like a primary use case of this would be... cheating...

Unlike other dating platforms, this one is integrated with your supposedly up to date profile. Being able to set up a low risk secret crush with a known friend seems likely to be popular to those interested in doing so.

That is to say, a person who wants to cheat has no problem having a Facebook profile, so there’s not a need for anonymity against being found by known acquaintances like you might expect on other platforms.

A similar lesson was learned for cattle. Compressing them en route to slaughter makes them significantly calmer.

I think I’d remember if someone else altered my memories.

There are reasonable concerns about using genetic modifications to kill things like mosquitos, but why don’t we use this tech against invasive species which we want to be absolutely removed from an ecosystem?

Feels like a let them eat cake argument to me. I’m sure many others would like to have the luxury of remote work and leisurely paced travel.

This isn’t a useful perspective for the majority of people

Well they’re clearly being marketed as having actual use. Whether it’s true... could go either way

This jumped out at me too. It’s pretty garbage, but it may be that garbage works

It might have some downsides, but let’s not forget about the daily torture and atrocities we experienced before the government started manipulating our memories.

Nah that’s not the same thing.

In this case it’s just choosing an option that involves very large numbers because it’s learned that it’s opponent can’t handle large numbers. There’s no code injection

Where/why are you going that you can spare two days?

Ok but you’re kind of just throwing numbers into the mix here to justify your position. What if the manager makes $12.50 an hour? Or $10?

The notion that people with low wages can’t be held accountable for errors EVER is... not reasonable
