A bipartisan group of 12 senators has urged the Transportation Security Administrations inspector general to investigate the agencys use of facial recognition, saying it poses a significant threat to privacy and civil liberties.Their letter comes just before one of the busiest travel periods of the year when millions of Americans are expected to pass through the nations airports. This technology will soon be in use at hundreds of major and mid-size airports without an independent evaluation of the technologys precision or an audit of whether there are sufficient safeguards in place to protect passenger privacy, the senators wrote.The letter was signed by Jeffrey Merkley (D-OR), John Kennedy (R-LA), Ed Markey (D-MA), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Steve Daines (R-MT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Peter Welch (D-VT). While the TSAs facial recognition program is currently optional and only in a few dozen airports, the agency announced in June that it plans to expand the technology to more than 430 airports. And the senators letter quotes a talk given by TSA Administrator David Pekoske in 2023 in which he said we will get to the point where we require biometrics across the board.While the TSA claims facial recognition is optional, it is confusing and intimidating to opt out of TSAs facial recognition scans, and our offices have received numerous anecdotal reports of Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) becoming belligerent when a traveler askes to opt out, or simply being unaware of that right, the senators wrote. They added that in some airports the signage instructing flyers to step in front of a camera is prominently displayed while signs advising passengers of their right to opt out of face scan is strategically placed in inconspicuous locations. In an earlier letter sent by many of the same senators to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the senators said that the TSA has not produced any evidence in response to congressional inquiries showing that the implementation of facial recognition has led to the discovery of more fraudulent identity documents. Meanwhile, the TSA has said the systems have a three percent false negative ratehow often they fail to properly match a person to their image in the databasewhich would equate to 68,000 failures daily if the technology was spread across all airports.The latest letter urges the TSAs inspector general to evaluate the agencys facial recognition program to determine whether its resulted in a meaningful reduction in passenger delays, assess whether its prevented anyone on no-fly lists from boarding a plane, and identify how frequently it results in identity verification errors. To opt out of a face scan at an airport, a traveler need only say that they decline facial recognition. They can then proceed normally through security by presenting an identification document, such as a drivers license or passport.Correction: An earlier version of this story quoted from the wrong letter sent by senators regarding the TSAs facial recognition problem and incorrectly identified the senators who had signed the latest letter to the TSAs inspector general.

On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.The high court dismissed the companys appeal, leaving in place an appellate ruling allowing the case to go forward.Investors allege that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump s first successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.Inadequacy of the disclosures led to two significant price drops in the price of the companys shares in 2018, after the public learned about the extent of the privacy scandal, the investors say.Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the courts action. The plaintiffs claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court, Stone said in an emailed statement.

Time To KillStalker 2 modders have mutant and weapon deg nerfing on the brain, as well as messing with time itselfNot even the three different longer days mods will likely give you time to try everything they're creating.Image credit: GSC Game World News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on Nov. 22, 2024 The Stalker 2 modding gold rush was always gonna be a sight to behold, and with plenty of stuff to fix and adjust, it certainly hasn't disappointed. Following an intitial post-release period full of attempts at stopping the stuttering, the community's now moved on to tweaking how tough life in The Zone is, as well as casually messing with time itself.If you missed it, as players were busy delving into GSC Game World's work for the first time, modders were busy starting to unleash their own fixes for some of its launch issues, and the onslaught of stuff coming from them doesn't look like it's gonna slow down anytime soon.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The Stalker modding community looks to have tweaking the gameplay experience on offer as its unofficial main goal now - specifically giving people the option to tune some of the more difficult elements of life in The Zone to their liking.Mods like Grokitach0's 'Grok's less tanky bloodsuckers and poltergeists' and FESilencer's 'Lower Mutant Health' have been gaining traction among those who're specifically after less of a tough time battling the ghame's horrors. There's also SnNakeEe's attempt at brutally rebalancing the way healing items work, if you wamt to go the other way and have a really, really painful time.Meanwhile, if your enemy is the fact you can't keep your guns in good nick, 'Reasonable Weapon Degradation by Vaxis' might be worth a look, while another of FESilencer's mods, 'Unrestricted Equipment Upgrades', looks like a bit more of a cheeky way of giving yourself an extra advantage gear-wise.For those who want a kind of all-in-one mod that does a bunch of rebalancing in different areas, 'Grok's Balanced Difficulties' looks like it could be worth checking out, especially if you're playing on veteran.Then there are three - okay, two plus one that's already been declared obsoltete two days after the game came out- different mods that offer the chance to make days in The Zone longer. 'Longer Days (no longer updated)', 'Even Longer Days', and 'Jake's Longer Days'. Yup, the word longer now sounds weird to me too.If you're still unsure whether to give Stalker 2 a go yet, make sure to check out our review. We've also got an array of guides that can help you survive by doing stuff like efficiently looking after your gear and learning about anomalies.

Image: Nintendo LifeAnother week, another edition of Box Art Brawl!Before we dive into this week's battle, let's see how things panned out last time. We looked at Double Dragon for the NES, and it was yet another close call. After over 1,600 votes from our dear readers, it was the Western design that took home the win with 53% of the vote. Well done!This week, we're heading to the GBA to check out Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. A remake of Kirby's Adventure, Nightmare in Dream Land launched toward the end of 2002, nearly a decade after the NES original. Although the core gameplay remained largely unchanged, it took full advantage of the GBA's more powerful specs, with completely redone visuals and a co-op mode for up to four players.Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube786kWatch on YouTube It's another duel this week as North America and Europe take on Japan, so let's get to it.Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let's check out the box art designs themselves.Europe / North AmericaImage: Nintendo / LaunchboxWhichever design you end up voting for here kind of comes down to whether you prefer something dark and foreboding or something a bit more lighthearted. The Western design is certainly the former, featuring a determined Kirby in the foreground with Meta Knight looking menacing in the background. It's definitely different from what we're used to from Kirby, but if you want something a bit more familiar, then check out the box art from...JapanImage: Nintendo / LaunchboxYes, Japan's design is a lot more in line from what we'd expect from a Kirby game. A much brighter composition, featuring a happy, smiley Kirby toward the right, and a whole bunch of stars floating about. It might not necessarily gel with the title of the game, unlike its Western counterpart, but it's a lovely piece nonetheless.Which region got the best Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land box art?

In BriefPosted:6:56 PM PST November 23, 2024Image Credits:ZoomHow a digital you can sit through your agonizing web conference callsNow you can appear to be on a Zoom call in your office, even when youre sipping a margarita in a hammock far, far away. Courtesy of a months-old startup called Pickle, its pitch is simple: just submit a five-minute-long training video of yourself to create an avatar, and within 24 hours, youre ready to go. Want to call your colleagues from the car? No problem. Too lazy to get out of bed? No problem. At a beach club? Youre probably pushing it, though judging by the demo video, its also ideal if no one on the call is paying close attention to you. (The service currently comes in basic, standard, and pro versions, from roughly $300 per year to $1,150 per year.)Backed by the nascent L.A. venture firm, Krew Capital, the tech only works right now with MacOS, says Pickle, though it says a Windows version is coming next month. As for the conferencing apps from which users can choose, these include Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, says Pickle, adding on its site that due to high demand, clone generation is currently delayed.Topics

In BriefPosted:11:12 AM PST November 23, 2024Image Credits:Sjoerd van der Wal / Getty ImagesTesla says it has reached a conditional settlement in Rivian trade secrets lawsuitTesla and Rivian may have resolved a lawsuit in which Tesla accused Rivian of poaching employees and stealing trade secrets.Bloomberg reports that Tesla told a California judge that the companies have reached a conditional settlement, and that it expects to seek dismissal of the lawsuit by December 24.Tesla filed the suit, which was set to go to trial in March of next year, back in 2020. The EV maker alleged that it had discovered an alarming pattern in which Rivian was recruiting Tesla employees and encouraging them to take proprietary information with them as they left.In response, Rivian filed to dismiss the suit, arguing that it was an improper and malicious attempt to slow Rivians momentum and to scare Tesla employees who might be thinking of leaving.Tesla did not immediately respond to TechCrunchs request for comment. A Rivian spokesperson said the company does not comment on litigation.Topics

Forward AM, a German 3D printing materials company, has seen proceedings for insolvency filed, according to court documents.The company recently concluded a week at Frankfurts Formnext trade show with jubilant social media posts focused on the future. However, a filing with the Heidelberg District Court on November 21st, 2024, suggests a different picture at least for the German entity, Forward AM Technologies GmbH. Under German law, company directors are legally obliged to file for insolvency without undue delay; a time frame generally acknowledged as within three weeks of becoming aware of the possibility of insolvency.Insolvency can take several forms, including the inability to meet financial obligations when they fall due, over-indebtedness, or imminent insolvency. Insolvency proceedings aim to either ensure restructuring takes place (if viable) or liquidate the company assets to pay creditors.Under German law, an Insolvency Payment Fund (Insolvenzgeld) is intended to protect employee wages for up to three months before insolvency.The goals of the German insolvency code include the possibility of preserving the business. The final outcome is unclear, and restructuring may see Forward AM continue. Possibly with a revised corporate HQ elsewhere.BASFs ST45B 3D printing material (pictured) was optimized for use with Photocentrics systems in 2019. Image via Forward AM. Large chemical companies exit 3D printing material sectorForward AM was launched in 2017 as part of BASF. The companys material portfolio includes filament, powder, and photopolymers. One notable material is the Ultrafuse metal filament, a stainless steel type material that can be 3D printed on FDM systems. Earlier this year, the management team at Forward AM announced a management buyout that would see Forward AM Technologies split from BASF. BASFs most recent full-year annual revenue was 68.9 billion ($71.8B), a figure substantially larger than even the most exuberant estimates of the additive manufacturing sector.Last week, 3DPI broke the news that France-based high-performance polymer supplier KIMYA was exciting the 3D printing industry. A statement later issued by Hubert de Boisredon, President and director general of parent company the ARMOR GROUP, expressed regret for the closure of KIMYA filament production and additive manufacturing business launched with enthusiasm in 2017. The parent company reports that regional group sales are half a billion dollars.In 2023, Brazilian chemical company Braskem spun out its 3D printing filament business into a new company called Xtellar. In June 2024, the company announced, Braskem has decided to discontinue the Xtellar operation and its associated products indefinitely. Braskem reported 2023 revenue of $13.7 billion.While several large multinationals have not seen sufficient or sufficiently rapid growth to support continued investment, many would argue that this short-termism is misplaced.Forward AM has been contacted for comment, and this article will be updated on reply.Want to share insights on key industry trends and the future of 3D printing?

Architect:SnhettaLocation: New York CityCompletion Date:2024Brought to you by:Snhetta has created a new home for the Far Rockaway branch of the Queens Public Library (QPL). Located at the point where the Rockaway barrier island meets the mainland of Queens, the new building is the latest in a string of recent renovations and replacements of public library branches across the five boroughs. To mimic the coastal neighborhoods dramatic sunsets, the librarys facade is draped in a reflective yellow-tinted glass that has been decorated with a digitally printed composition by artist Jos Parl. Artwork from Parl is visble on both the exterior and interior of the library. (Jeff Goldberg)Doubling the usable area of its predecessor, the new building will better support Far Rockaways large and diverse community. A press release from Snhetta notes that the library project coincides with additional city initiatives and investments designed to catalyze growth in this historically underserved part of New York City. The design of the library capitalizes on its corner lot at the intersection of Central and Mott Avenue, exaggerating this condition through a ubiquity of triangular forms. Visitors enter through a three-sided cut-out in the exterior mass and are immediately greeted by a triangle-shaped double-height atrium that connects the structures two floors.Another design motif is transparency and the use of colorful glazing. To that end, the upper level of the atrium is lined with a diachronic glass railing that creates complex, iridescent effects as it receives light from the semi-permeable facade and reflections from the interior. Light also cascades down from a skylight at the top of the atrium.The entrance opens to a double height atrium that connects both floors of the library. (Jeff Goldberg)In reference to the physicist Richard Feynman, a Far Rockaway native, Mexican artist Pablo Helguera has installed his work Feynman Code on the second floor. Based on the physicists famous Feynman diagrams, which use symbols to denote mathematic formulas and expressions, the artist has created an alphabet that spells out a line from an Emily Dickinson poem as well as a quotation from Feynman. This artwork, along with other features on the interior, interacts with the diachronic glass railing, casting Feynmans symbols across the floorplate.Snhetta selected Jos Parl, a Brooklyn-based artist, to create a mural for the facade of the library. The firm has collaborated with Parl previously, designing the artists studio from a converted warehouse in Gowanus and collaborating with him on a stool and table set. For Far Rockaway Library, the artist created a work titled Style Writinga sprawl of abstracted handwriting that cloaks the facade. Initially hand-drawn on a large canvas, the architects digitized the work and printed it by applying colored powder to the glass panels. The panels were then heated in a kiln, permanently joining the powder to the glass. The resulting frit works to reduce solar heat gain on the interior of the building while also acting as a dramatic decorative element.Since Snhetta was founded, collaborating with artists has been an important part of our work, Nathan McRae, director at Snhetta, told AN. We really wanted to create a vibrant, unique building for the community. Something that would stand out, but also welcome people inside.Color and the interplay of light were central to the new librarys design. (Jeff Goldberg)Working closely with the glazier, Snhetta specified exterior glass that precisely balances the presence of color, transparency, and Parls artwork while also achieving high energy performance. The yellow-orange tint of the glazing is meant to evoke the buildings locale along New York Citys Atlantic coastline, specifically referencing the remarkable sunsets that occur along Rockaway Beach. Far Rockaway Library has achieved LEED Gold certification through a combination of energy strategies, including the aforementioned high performance glazing as well as an automated system on the interior that optimizes HVAC usage. To contend with the coastal neighborhoods propensity for flooding, the library features a blue roof, which retains storm water, releasing it slowly through constricted drains and thereby relieving the streets flooding and drainage infrastructure.The architects specified a precise balance of reflectivity and transparency in the glass that keeps the space illuminated during daylight. (Jeff Goldberg)Alongside other upgrades to the citys public library branches, Snhettas Far Rockaway Library demonstrates a 21st-century approach to the improvement of public spaceappropriately balancing energy concerns and climate resiliency with formal considerations such as aesthetic beauty and spatial quality. Ultimately, it argues that New York Citys great public architecture should not just be reserved for Manhattan, but rather exist in equal proportion within the outer boroughs.Project SpecificationsArchitect: SnhettaStructural Engineer: SilmanElectrical Engineering: Altieri Sebor WeiberCivil Engineer: LanganLighting Design: Atelier TenAV/Acoustics: SH AcousticsSignage/Wayfinding: T-Squared DesignGeneral Contractor: E W HowellClient Representative: NYC Department of Design and ConstructionGlazing Contractor: AFI Glass and Architectural MetalsFacade Installation: AFI GlassMetal Panel Installation: EDA ContractorsFacade System: KawneerMetal Rainscreen: Alpolic Metal Composite PanelsGlass: CristacurvaWindows: Kawneer
