I want to get off Mr. Ton-That's dystopian facial recognition ride, please: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/technology/clearview-privacy-facial-recognition.html

Hi @skiweather I'm not a skiing destination (:

I've just discovered Flow State, a human curated newsletter sent out Mon-Fri recommending two hours of music that's perfect for working. It's free, but if you pay you get extra features: https://flowstate.substack.com/

The Vanmoof looks like a solid piece of bike, wish you could get that service with other bikes. I guess I'll try to fit a GPS tracker on my next bike, might act as a deterrent as well.

Thanks, Merry New Year to you too (:

I thoroughly enjoyed Jamie Bartlett's podcast 'The Missing Crypto Queen'.

The 8 episodes pulls at the loose strings behind the 'crypto currency' OneCoin, and is a great example of investigate journalism in podcast form.

So I'm guessing, the reason why we have been trying to, and still are trying, is because humans at gates find it hard to comply. It's easy to confirm on any flight (:

easyJet and Gatwick airport has been trialling a new boarding process: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-50214631. "One challenge in any controlled boarding process is our ability to communicate the pattern to passengers and the willingness of passengers to comply."

Result is that nobody needs to wonder about who is boarding when from where and in which order. I should've taken some photos, but boarding went so fast I didn't have time to get some. Everybody liked that.

Schiphol provided an example of good boarding process. Area at gate big enough to accommodate all passengers. Clearly marked lines for priority and regular mortal flyers, and finally, info over PA about boarding procedure 10mins in advance. This was a @klm flight.

Really like the new look on your site Neil, well done! 🎉 (:

I installed Shaarli to be able to import my del.icio.us bookmarks and keep that bit of personal internet archeology alive and browsable.
I loved del.icio.us for all the reasons you mentioned, it was a great way of getting exposed to interesting people and feeds, and expand your digital horizons.
