I am curious to see how those facial liveness check systems will adapt to this reality. They are a key pillar in the KYC and fraud prevention process in the fintech space.
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to but the closest thing I'm aware of is video calls in Germany where you are asked to show your ID card. Those certainly wouldn't be easy to fool without being able to do this at runtime and consistently showing an altered ID with all safety features intact. The agent will give you specific instructions on how to hold your ID and where to put your face while also switching between front and rear cameras and using the camera light. They're also performed by specialised services that only offer that kind of verification.
Those are the fancy ones (scratching your ID card is still annoying). The less fancy ones use a lighting scheme on the phone or zooming methods to detect fake actors and do not require a human on the other side. The fancy ones also do not scale.
Scale relative to what? The fancy ones are the only ones I've ever encountered in Germany except when dealing with an American company that insisted I upload photographs of my ID card directly to them (which due to the lack of a proper privacy policy brought me close to ditching the client that asked we use them).
There's also Postident (which involves walking into a post office and showing the clerk your ID card in person) and eID (which requires a compatible smartphone and uses the digital data on the ID card itself). Video ID is pretty ubiquitous these days, so I'm not sure why you think it "doesn't scale".
If you're suggesting alternatives that only rely on biometrics, I don't think those are sufficient to fulfill the requirements of anti-money-laundering laws in Germany even if American KYC laws might allow them.
Joomla has never been great compared to its competitors. It's been many years since I've even heard the name. The are tons of better cms platforms no a days
I am building a Vehicle to Home (V2H) charger to use the batteries from my Nissan Leaf to use only off-peak energy (cheaper and greener). Also allows to run the car as backup.
comm is a really useful tool, with one big caveat — you must make sure your input files are all sorted the exact same way. If not, you can get unexpected results, and worse, might not even realize it.
This may seem obvious, but there are many tiny ways that sorts can differ between locales, operating systems and programs (e.g. Excel), especially when dealing with Unicode. It may look the same 99% of the time, and you may not realize until later that you’ve accidentally filtered out values.
As a born and raised in Braga I can confirm all of this. Also Braga as a background in IT sector for a few decades now.
Mainly because of University of Minho.
