Are there any open source IR emitting glasses? It seems like we’re ready for glasses that keep our faces private from security cameras.

(it’s a joke… check out the code)

I would prefer there to be a law that severely punishes any company that has a data breach. Back in the early 2000s when the RIAA started suing people for sharing music online the courts in one case finally landed on a value of $9,250 per song shared as a reasonable fine. I think that might be a good number to start with when a company shares (purposefully or not) someone’s data without that person’s permission.

That would put Volkswagen’s fine at $7.4 Billion, which I think should help convince companies that they should really only collect and store data that they absolutely need… and to make securing that data a top priority.
