| Facial recognition software used to verify unemployment recipients reportedly doesn’t work well Posted: 19 Jun 2021 12:30 PM PDT  The facial recognition program used by nearly two dozen US states to to verify people seeking unemployment benefits is working inconsistently, leading to many people being denied benefits or having their applications put on hold, Motherboard reported. The identity verification service ID.me is intended to help reduce unemployment fraud, and uses biometric data and official documents to verify people. But according to Motherboard, some who have applied for unemployment have reported that ID.me has failed to identify them correctly, and that they have had difficulty reaching someone at ID.me to remedy the problem. ID.me didn't immediately reply to a request for comment Saturday, but the company's CEO Blake Hall told Motherboard in an... |
| Facebook to update its community standards to clarify what it considers satire Posted: 19 Jun 2021 07:47 AM PDT  Following a recommendation from its Oversight Board, Facebook says it will update its community standards to be clearer about how it handles satirical content, the company said in a blog post. "We'll add information to the Community Standards that makes it clear where we consider satire as part of our assessment of context-specific decisions," according to the post. "This change will allow teams to consider satire when assessing potential Hate Speech violations." The update comes after the Oversight Board determined that Facebook was wrong to remove a user's comment with a reference to the Turkish government, based on the two buttons meme. The Oversight Board described it:

| The slow transitions of a lingering pandemic Posted: 19 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT  With COVID-19 restrictions lifting in some places and outbreaks popping up in others, the pandemic has officially entered the weird zone. Okay, there's nothing official about it, but the entire world is in a strange transition time right now — and likely will be for a while. Unlike the jump-cut into the pandemic, or even the suspenseful vaccine ramp-up, this time is more hopeful, less frantic, but also stretched out in an uneven mess. Places, populations, and even industries are moving at different paces as they move back to some semblance of normality. It's like the entire globe is playing by a perverse version of "yes, and." Yes, more people are vaccinated in the US than before, and immunocompromised people are still at risk. Yes,... |
| PayPal raising merchant fees on some of its transactions Posted: 19 Jun 2021 06:35 AM PDT  PayPal said Friday it is raising fees for some of its newer products "to better align our pricing with the value that our products and services provide," according to a blog post by senior vice president Dan Leberman. The changes will affect how much PayPal merchants pay per transaction, and take effect August 2nd. "PayPal has become more than just a button or payment processor to be a full commerce platform capable of driving growth for businesses," according to the blog post. "Consumers are nearly three times more likely to complete their purchase when PayPal is available at checkout." In the past, PayPal has had a flat rate for sellers processing payments, charging 2.9 percent of a transaction price, plus a 30-cent fee. The new,... |
| Mark Mothersbaugh on composing music you won’t tire of in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Posted: 19 Jun 2021 06:00 AM PDT  If you've spent some time playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, you might feel like you're playing a blockbuster family-friendly action movie — and that's not just because of the game's many perfectly timed set pieces. Rift Apart is also backed by a sweeping score composed by the legendary musician Mark Mothersbaugh. You might recognize Mothersbaugh as the co-founder of the band Devo or as the composer of Nickelodeon's Rugrats. But I suggest you also scroll through his IMDb page. He's been a jaw-droppingly prolific composer with work stretching back to the 1980s, and he has credits on films (The Lego Movie, Thor: Ragnarok), TV series (What We Do in the Shadows, Dawson's Creek), and even other video games (Skate 3, The Sims 2). |
