In return as perks, the studio is offering backers Wayaland passports and short stays at the community’s floating hotels once the project gets successfully executed by 2022. https://www.yankodesign.com/2020/05/23/these-pyramid-shaped-yacht-communities-are-a-millionaires-social-distancing-paradise/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocomel Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Another sick news. Quote The Second Payment Services Directive (PDS2) regulation will be enforced in the UK, regardless of the outcome of Brexit. Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) enforcement will not be enforced in the UK until March 2021. Two out of three - password, one-tiime code via SMS or voice/fingerprint. https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/psd2 From paypal. It's all depressing. Some will say it's for your own good and safety. wtf moment is...even if the UK exit EU, we still need to comply. Now, I don't know if DI subscription payments will be affected. Something for @GarethIcke to keep an eye on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocomel Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Blimey. So DI is banned from Paypal as well now? https://www.davidicke.com/article/570952/terrified-david-icke-now-banned-paypal-elite-power-yet-hysterically-knicker-twisted-worldwide-little-wheres-power-really-us-not Never liked Paypal. Many businesses have been given hard time because Paypal locks 5 figure sum and people are left with no capital to work on even though the sum is their legit takings. A few more options are opening up. Edited May 26, 2020 by chocomel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticWorld Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 China’s health scores for citizens won’t go away when coronavirus does Quote A government app that used digital bar codes to control citizen movements at the peak of the coronavirus outbreak in China is likely to become a fixture in people’s daily lives. Hangzhou, a southern Chinese city home to tech giants like Alibaba, said on Saturday (May 23, link in Chinese) that it plans to “normalize” the use of the app, which was rolled out in February, and turn it into a “‘firewall’ to enhance people’s health and immunity” after the pandemic recedes. Developed with the help of Alibaba affiliate Ant Financial and social media giant Tencent, and soon made mandatory, the feature was added to Alipay, Ant’s digital payment wallet, as well as Tencent’s messaging app WeChat. It assigned people one of three codes—red, yellow, and green—based on travel history and other information, such as their own test status and contact with any confirmed cases of Covid-19, that users submit. Local authorities would then cross examine (link in Chinese) the information with financial and transport data collected by various departments, such as users’ past bank card transactions and public transport they had used. A person assigned a green code could leave their home to ride on subways, access public buildings, and go to work when it resumed in February, while those with yellow or red codes had to self-quarantine for various periods of time. https://qz.com/1860453/chinese-city-will-use-health-scores-for-citizens-even-after-covid-19/?utm_source=reddit.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffLeppard Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 This Lickable Screen Can Recreate Almost Any Taste or Flavor Without Eating Food No matter how they may make you feel, licking your gadgets and electronics is never recommended. Unless you’re a researcher from Meiji University in Japan who’s invented what’s being described as a taste display that can artificially recreate any flavor by triggering the five different tastes on a user’s tongue. Years ago it was thought that the tongue had different regions for tasting sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors, where higher concentrations of taste buds tuned to specific flavors were found. We now know that the distribution is more evenly spread out across the tongue, and that a fifth flavor, umami, plays a big part in our enjoyment of food. Our better understanding of how the tongue works is crucial to a new prototype device that its creator, Homei Miyashita, calls the Norimaki Synthesizer. It was inspired by how easily our eyes can be tricked into seeing something that technically doesn’t exist. The screen you’re looking at uses microscopic pixels made up of red, green, and blue elements that combine in varying intensities to create full-color images. Miyashita wondered if a similar approach could be used to trick the tongue, which is why their Norimaki Synthesizer is also referred to as a taste display.
