I don't understand why they didn't do it like the Lumia 950xl... iris scanner. Infrared to light up the eyes, another to take the pic.

they also have it! fingerprint, face, iris, pin, sequence... they only miss the list of things in your fridge 😛

Then how can a regular picture fool it? Seems like a software issue and not hardware.

I mean: you can either auth yourself via face or any other solution. Samsung AFAIK doesn't implement so named pure biometric 2 factor-auth. You have just to avoid face and fingerprint (as it is too close to camera). just use iris or sequence/pin...

I own a xiaomi redmi 4 and to be honest rear-fingerprint scanners are a bit of a pain... I alternate fingerprint to sequences...

"just in time" 🙂

Yup, Uber has an API and you can use the service from the command line!

It's how the modern ninja gets around 😉

Not necessarily a bad thing, it could cause prices to come down and volume to go up.

Almost at dream level...

I'm heading to the Russian border in a week! But doesn't look like there will be time to actually cross it this time.

@scottalanmiller Well, not as many experts as for SAP, but you find some 🙂
Tryton is a fork of openERP (nowadays called odoo) and runs for itself as ERP in many companies around the world. Their website is a PITA, agree. A Web-Frontend is available as well.
@stacksofplates Lots has happened since 2012....

Oh, good info. That makes it make a lot more sense. Thanks.

for curiosity sake: who is actually using dragonfly bsd and why?

I've deployed it a bit in labs. I'm always watching it closely because Hammer is very important.

Hammer?

One of the world's most advanced fileystems. Dragonfly is important as a kernel alternative ecosystem to FreeBSD, from which it split (in many ways Dragonfly is the real FreeBSD and FreeBSD is the "new" product that split from it) but its real relevance is as a filesystem research platform. The kernel maintainer there writes a totally unique filesystem, called Hammer, just for Dragonfly.

@stacksofplates You mean this one.... that happened less than a year ago....

People's memories are short, how can they remember so far back?

Yup that one. And the whole Lenovo "rootkit" was because they have a way to allow manufacturers to bypass it, which in my mind is another example.
