Given that both "shares" and "resume" can function as either a noun or a verb, this headline keeps messing with my brain.
I read this as Nvidia shares resumé fail. I sometimes think headline writers treat confusing headlines as an artform

Remember when iOS apps couldn’t run in the background, and then Apple made an exception for voip apps? All of a sudden many apps, especially Facebook, started offering in-app voip calls. Coincidence? Of course they were using that as an excuse to do other things in the background.
ngl that's pretty funny, never knew that. I am in the camp of wishing more apps could run in the background (long-running downloads/uploads for Spotify or Google Photos) but I appreciate that it's a dangerous road to go down

Nothing about this is particular to TikTok itself. The real technology being used is PimEyes, but I guess that's not as clickbait worthy.
I didn't get the impression they were targeting TikTok as a platform, that's just where this happens to be occurring (statistically so, given the popularity of TikTok). I definitely got the impression the author was focusing on the technology itself, and how trivially accessible it is. PimEyes is actually less accessible than facecheck.id because PimEyes doesnt index social media and has a strong paywall. facecheck.id does not have those guards.
Edit: They were targeting TikTok somewhat in the platform's refusal to moderate this type of content, which I think is a fair criticism and known to be somewhat unique to TikTok. (None of the platforms have perfect moderation but TikTok's is notoriously inconsistent and robotic)

I don't understand this. According to the article random people are identified by their social media profiles. Haven't they doxxed themselves?
I presume it's using sites like facecheck.id which have an index on all social media, and provide a reverse face search into that index. This means even people who change their FB name to something random, for privacy reasons, can be found. So no, I'd say the victims are not doxxing themselves.

rolling coal, tube chassis race cars with legit tags, no annual vehicle safety inspections, crumbling infrastructure, whats not to love?
Texas, one of the most obnoxiously anti-fed states, requires annual inspections.
If you want people to be treated equally, wouldn't you want their existence to be justified?
It's difficult to think of a PC analogy here, so maybe... super villain mind control device strapped to someone's head. Provably unjustified behaviors due to the mind control device implies the ethical thing to do is try to remove the device. Treating someone normally implies an implicit belief that they're normal. Sound biological evidence that being queer is just how some people are feels like the best way to reinforce that belief and remove requirements for heteronormativity.
I acknowledge this is the prerequisite a lot of people need to justify queer peoples' existence.
> wouldn't you want their existence to be justified
In my ideal world, I would want my existence to be justified even if I 100% chose to be bisexual, gay, trans, etc. So yes, I do want it to be justified, but I don't want genetics to be the justification.
Kind of hopeful we can stop using genetics as a way of justifying queer peoples' existence. Whether it's conditioning, a choice, or genetics, shouldn't really be a factor in how you treat queer people.
Please provide a link to support your assertion that "the BLM core" is giving "significant push back".
I think maybe a better question/support would be evidence that anybody besides corporate diversity teams have said this is a problem.
To be clear- I also think the terms are problematic and my company is also pushing for it. But I think it's worth asking whether we're speaking over actual black people. It does give off pretty heavy white guilt vibes.
Edit: I think a good example of this is the fact that my company is pushing for this change but still doesn't have a single black person at the VP+ levels. It's pandering, and distracting from the core problem.
