Hmm. I’m new here. Why is this post getting downvotes (with no comments about why)?

Edit: I originally phrased the question to be about "no-comment downvotes" which is too easy to misunderstand. I rephrased it since I do see downvotes, and thought downvoting was for content that doesn't fit the community, or for other objections where it is expected that people would comment their objection rather than silently downvote and move on.

Police union furious, fighting for his accompanying four year paid leave to be bumped more appropriate five years.

anti-clickbait tldr: system uses facial recognition, complete with the expected false positives, false negatives, and bias.

Key passage:

Clear’s methods determined its facial-recognition system to enroll new members was vulnerable to abuse, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified discussing security-sensitive information.

The computer-generated photos of prospective customers at times captured blurry images that only showed chins and foreheads, or faces obscured by surgical masks and hoodies.

The process — which allowed Clear employees to manually verify prospective customers’ identities after its facial recognition system raised flags — created the potential for human error.

Apparently last July “a man slipped through Clear’s screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition — which is banned in the cabin — in his possession.” And he’d “almost managed to board a flight under a false identity.” The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. There’s no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.

Paywall. tldr?

Guessing… corporate incompetence and scaling problems and logistics and “muh supply chain” nonsense.

tl;dr: high temperatures and other unfortunate, simultaneous circumstances caused the water to become deoxygenated. Too little oxygen dissolved in the water means fish will “suffocate”.

anti-clickbait: “an organization” is just the DNC. Campaign planning to raise and spend $2B.

Can’t say for sure it’ll meet your needs and work with your Logi gear, but I use AntiMicroX to re-bind unrecognized controls.
