Home Depot sued for 'secretly' using facial recognition at self-checkouts

news.ycombinator.com Pesala Bandara 2025-11-11 16:23:19

A customer has sued Home Depot, claiming the retail giant has been secretly using facial recognition technology on customers with cameras placed at self-checkout kiosks. Earlier this month, Benjamin Jankowski, a frequent Home Depot shopper, filed a proposed class action lawsuit against the company. He claims the retailer’s self-checkout kiosks use facial recognition technology that scans and collects people’s facial details without their permission. In the lawsuit, Jankowski says cameras at th

Vibe coding creates a bus factor of zero

All the opinions expressed in this article and on this website are entirely my own and do not represent my employer in any way. Ever heard about the “Bus factor”? It is a concept that measures the risk of losing all knowledge about a particular thing – a software development project for example – by estimating how many team members could get crushed by a bus before nobody knows how to work on the project anymore. As an example, if 3 people on your team know how to restore a backup of your datab

French firm Gouach is pitching an Infinite Battery with replaceable cells

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-08 20:32:44

E-bike batteries are, for the most part, a collection of 18650 batteries, packaged together and welded in series and parallel, attached to a battery management system (BMS). A "dead" e-bike battery may only have two or three truly dead cells inside, while the remainder work fine. This is useful knowledge that, for the most part, very few e-bike owners can really use. Arc welders are not a common tool to own, and most e-bike batteries are not designed to be opened, safely or otherwise. French fi

Creating 3D Worlds with HTML and CSS (2013)

Last year I created a demo showing how CSS 3D transforms could be used to create 3D environments. The demo was a technical showcase of what could be achieved with CSS at the time but I wanted to see how far I could push things, so over the past few months I’ve been working on a new version with more complex models, realistic lighting, shadows and collision detection.

Understanding Moravec's Paradox

news.ycombinator.com Morgan Howells 2025-11-08 23:36:51

Understanding Moravec's Paradox Morevec's paradox is a little weird in a few ways. First it's not a paradox, and second it's widely miss-interpreted. At its core, Moravec's paradox is the observation that reasoning takes much less computation compared to sensorimotor and perception tasks. It's often (incorrectly) described as tasks that are easy for humans are difficult for machines and visa versa. The answer from the human's side is relatively simple to explain.

John Cena Digs Into Peacemaker’s Big ‘Suicide Squad’ Kill

Season two of Peacemaker will finally have Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) coming in hot for Chris Smith (John Cena) to exact revenge over the death of his son. Killing his squad leader, Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was a moment that made Peacemaker irredeemable before being hilariously unpacked in season one of the HBO Max show, which centered the antihero’s mistake as something that broke him—that and the bullet Bloodsport (Idris Elba) put through his neck.

The cyberpunk movement has given us some of the best science fiction movies: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and, yes, The Matrix.
