I haven't tested it myself but according to CVdazzle it works. So the next question is how long before facial recognition technology overcomes efforts to confound it. Or how long until legislators get involved.

Yes the looks are ridiculous, but most fashion starts out that way. People often look for ways to stand out and being "retro" could enhance the cool factor.

What does someone care if a mugger's facial recognition software "flags" them? And who exactly is being flagged? And if a security surveillance system flags you what is the consequence? Who does that consequence apply to?

How long before anti-facial recognition makeup, hair, and accessories becomes fashionable? https://cvdazzle.com

A couple days ago I ran into Wired's ad-blocker blocker so I just clicked my Instapaper toolbar button. Worked like a charm. I wonder if or how often Wired makes an effort to block Instapaper.

Amazing creatures. Before you consider one as a pet realize that the combination of their long lifespan and their intense desire to bond means you need to make a serious commitment that people often break.

Watch Nature's 'Parrot Confidential' to get an idea of the consequences of breaking this commitment. Parrot Confidential is an excellent, though heartbreaking, documentary that highlights the plight of these intelligent creatures in captivity.

I fear for Flickr.
Oxyana has some poignant footage of the problem. Even in the short trailer.

Does anyone know of an email client or plugin that acts like Buffer? Something that would allow you to add these midnight missives to a queue for dispatch at a sane hour? You should be able to skip the queue for emergencies but those should really be handled with phone calls or texts.

TextDrive and Joyent were founded by the same people. Joyent continued to sell "lifetime" plans after it consumed TextDrive.

Here's a screenshot ( http://cl.ly/UFhp ) from one of their lifetime offers. Of note: "How long will it last? As long as we exist." At that point, early 2006, TextDrive was a Joyent company. Joyent still exists.
