  • After his arguments failed to convince bylaw officers, Ruck took his case to court. Legal precedent supports naturalised gardening in Ontario, where in 1996 a court ruled that Sandy Bell, a Toronto gardener, had the right to express her environmental beliefs through gardening, overturning a fine issued to her under the city’s weeds and grass bylaw.

    But Ruck, who represented himself, lost his case on procedural grounds after arguing that the city had applied the bylaw unfairly and arbitrarily. Now on the hook for the municipality’s legal bills of $6,000 (£3,450), he has filed an appeal.

    Damn that sucks













  • I just said “school”. You don’t need a higher education, but it’s a relatively good way to learn to learn. You may not be looking for that in the resume, but you are looking for other indicators this person has learned to work through challenges. For entry level positions, an education goes a long way in showing that.

    I’m a University drop out and also the principal engineer of my department in a 40+ billion dollar company, I definitely don’t think education is that important, but it does count when you don’t know the candidate at all.








  • Normally phones provide an API to use your fingerprint, but the fingerprint itself isn’t shared or stored. Just like passwords there are ways of sharing this without sharing the plain data or storing it.

    It would be much easier to lift your fingerprint IRL and use it than through a website like that. At least without skipping through a lot of warnings.

    To avoid always having to login, there’s a token cached on the browser side which lately has been the target of attacks. A temporary ticket store on your computer that people copy to use for a while and access sensistive info as if they had you crendentials. With this type of attack it doesn’t matter what the password type is.

    TLDR fingerprints are as safe as any other password, which isn’t very safe.
