A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

    You want to know a better system?

    What if each person had some kind of physical passkey that linked them to their money, and they used that to pay for food?

    We could even have a bunch of security put around this passkey that makes it’s really easy to disable it if it gets lost or stolen.

    As for shoplifting, what if we had some kind of societal system that levied punishments against people by providing a place where the victim and accused can show evidence for and against the infraction, and an impartial pool of people decides if they need to be punished or not.

      100%

      I don’t disagree with a word you said.

      FR for a payment system is dumb.
