My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can't even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations... He's given up on getting his design certified.
I don't know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.
Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to "match" at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.
If "face generation from DNA" is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the "average person", the more likely you would fit the generated face.
Doesn't it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?
We had bus drivers protests. They were not allowed to strike because "essential service", so instead they publicly announced that they would "forget" to check people's tickets.
Effectively they gathered people's sympathy while distributing profits. That was effective!
I think it's set up this way so buyers can't get back to Sony to ask for a free replacement if the media can't be used anymore.
Let's say you buy a disk that contains a movie. You din't buy the right to watch that movie forever, because if the disk breaks, you need to buy a new copy.
However, we could argue that this is just a symptom of a short industry... If my backpack breaks, even after 10 years, the company will replace it free of charge!
My secret is that I know I'm actually the only real human, and everybody else are aliens posing as humans to study my behavior. That's why I purposefully make random decisions and actions from time to time, to throw them off.
I still have to figure out if I'm the last human alive, if every remaining human is being studied like me, or if there is a real human society somewhere.
Not a trap, an enlightenment!
I don't have a hat like this one but at some point you realize that life is a jungle. Better consider it a safari and enjoy!
