Fingerprints are a very feeble form of biometrics. India's, Aadhar - A biometric-based ID system that primarily uses fingerprints is the best case study to understand this. Fingerprints, like every other human organ, are subject to wear and tear, this combined with probabilistic algorithms to find a match for a given set of fingerprints makes it a fragile system for "unique" identification.


It's reasonable for casual biometrics, such as a phone unlock, where the likelihood of someone with a match trying to use your phone is remote. Many people will choose the same password or PIN, for example, but of course you can't change your fingerprint on a whim.


I'm new to Golang and have been exploring it for a while. Go isn't simple to me when it comes to web dev. It starts with the scarcity of resources to learn from. I'm looking for how to structure the codebase(boilerplates, best practices etc), how to go about unit and integration testing, dependency and configuration management. Are there any resources somebody here can point to regarding these topics?.

Have you had a chance to look at truecaller? It crowdsources data on who is spamming, advertising and marketing. In India where you get sales pitches even from a personal number, truecaller is a savior. Instead of having to answer questions, crowdsourcing would be a viable one

Funding may give you the energy to take-off your entrepreneurial journey.. But it is your vision and business model that will help you stay up float and soar high.

Instagram follows the same path as Facebook when it comes to curating content to the core of user's likes and dislikes. When a content that is tailored to the user's preference starts to surface more on the feed ,it tends to keep the user engaged passively even if not active, leading to ad revenue for the company. Once you are out of the platform and exposed to different, if not opposing views,people find it tough to handle and lead to depression.
