North Korea pretty much depicts Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and (much less so) Kim Jong-un as gods, so I wouldn't exactly say State Atheism applies there.

Charity advert only viewable by women in effort to raise aweareness of gender inequality in developing nations...

Its an original approach.

I wish all advertisements worked like this, for me at least.

Yes, they do have that bizarre cult-of-personality propaganda-mysticism thing going on, but I'm not really sure you could classify that as a religion, or I don't even know what the hell you'd call it, really.

Sure you can classify it as a religion. It's a supernatural explanation for reality, that being: "Kim Il-sung created the world, all hail the Eternal President."

Yes but the UK is the most is actually the most atheistic country in the world

I'm pretty sure that title would be better applied to Sweden or Estonia.

Norway and Czechia, actually, as far as I can remember at least. Sweden is at the top of non-religious, but a bit further down on atheist ones because of personal belief.

Err, don't really see a point to it.


Is it supposed to be hitting men with "hey we're discriminating against you by not showing you our advertisement! How does it feel, bucko?" 'Cause if so, that'll be utterly ineffectual. Men aren't strangers to discrimination; just strangers to the magnitude if discrimination women get (generally speaking). An advertisement is obviously something of low magnitude, so...

North Korea is basically Ancient Egypt.

It's amazing how far image recognition technology has gotten. How much longer do you think it will be before they can find individual faces?

[scriver]

I haven't tried it, but my laptop, and indeed most middle-prized laptops from what I saw when I was shopping for it, is supposed o have some sort of face-recognition lock on them. So I'd say it's already possible, to an extent at least.

90% doesn't seem that great to me really.  That'd be a fair number of women not seeing the advert and men seeing it.  And worse it could make something of a value judgment on those it regards as "not male/female enough".

Given the state of the white tech version, the black tech version can probably already identify anyone who has visual presence in an accessible electronic database.

I've got it on mine but never gotten it to work.

Oh, it recognises my face just fine. But the software is crap. It's over the top of a regular windows login screen and simply enters a password stored in an encrypted database. A password that can only be (I think) 15 characters long. My current password is 30+ characters.

It also turns on my webcam every time I start up the laptop from sleep, even though I've disabled it on startup. Probably going to just uninstall the software soon.

I have tape over my integrated web camera. People do hack into them (in fact, there is an entire subreddit on reddit for watching through other people's webcams that have been cracked), and although mine lights up when its on I still don't want to risk it.

Not to mention it's security that could be breached by simply having a photo of you held up to the camera. Granted, someone who stole your laptop wouldn't have that, but someone else certainly could. Still better than a Windows password alone, I guess.

... Or does it effectively replace the Windows user password? If that's what you mean, that is terrible.

Nah, you have to give it your Windows password which it then stores in an encrypted file (I guess database is too strong a word...) which then only that program has access to. It's just that it can't store anything longer than 15 or whatever characters.

Like I said, I played with it enough to realise it could recognise my face and not store what I consider a secure but memorable password, then looked for ways to get it out of my way without completely nuking it. This is the software for those interested.
