Measurekit isn't even using the true depth camera system. I tried covering the dot projector and everything else but the facetime 7mp camera and it still maps my face and works unlike with animojo or unlocking the phone. Its only using the 7mp camera.
Got a tip for us?

Exactly what I thought reading your post.
Just because you don't hide something (or cant really hide in socially accepted way like your face) doesnt mean its ok to declare open season on it...
I believe everything published by Apple about the workings of FaceID states that the face data never leaves the phone.
Friends, just remember that nobody is forcing you to buy new technologies, or join social media platforms, et cetera. As questionable as corporate practices and legalese may be, you are an independent agent with the ability (however dulled it may have become) to make your own choices... even - and sometimes especially - if said choices are not the popular ones. 
Never heard it before and I've been around this stuff way longer than that. It sounds like a shop talk term that most people would not use or have heard if they didn't work in that particular kind of shop.
Apple unraveling at the seams. Over the months or years u can clear paint a picture of "not caring" while at the same time continue to try and backup the "we take privacy & security seriously"
Just like any technology they may not care, but they would get curious as how it's done (sparks interest don't ya think?)

I hate this kind of specious argument! You have that option until all the alternatives trade on your privacy.
It’s a false suggestion of choice, the next generation or two Apple will change over to face ID for all its offerings. So just don’t have a smart phone then.
And whilst you are at itdon’t use the Internet if you don’t want to be tracked.
Late stage capitalism: Let the corporations decide!

Yeah right, I’m not on Facebook however Facebook and Twitter seem to be only ways to get customer service nowadays.
It also means that I miss out on almost all socializing, even my apartment block is on Facebook so I missed a lot of the messages that are going around even though I keep telling them send a freaking email. Don’t kid yourself, these technology companies are de facto monopolies - Because not playing the game is almost not an option in our society from a social point of view.
Nobody was forced to buy the Ford Edsel or fly the Concorde. Yet disasters did happen that should have been prevented.Friends, just remember that nobody is forcing you to buy new technologies, or join social media platforms, et cetera.

That probably makes the privacy discussion more relevant across different iPhone versions. Plus 7mp data may have less restrictions than true depth data patterns

For authentication, yes, but not this other use which is the focus of the article.

I’ve been doing development since the early 90s so it’s just second nature to me. Probably when “App” became a shorthand for application and popularized by Apple, devs became a common term for the outside. Of course I remember using App a lot internally in some MFC apps I wrote in Visual C++ way back when. Programmers and shorthand go hand in hand.
What happens when all iPhones available for sale have Face ID, and Touch ID is no longer available?
Perhaps it is new to you, but it isn’t new. And you glorked the meaning immediately from context.
If people were that concerned, they wouldn't continue using those products. Face it... people just don't care
You have to ask yourself whether you prefer quality or quantity in your socializing and friendships. I can only speak for myself, but having been a Facebook user from 2007 until 2015, I never gained a single true friend via the service. The relationships I forged in the real world, much fewer though they were, were vastly more fulfilling. (Alas, not all relationships last forever. But that's just life.) When all is said and done, no digital network defines who you are; only you do.

As I suspected, a shop talk term that might not be as much in common usage you might imagine. But now I have to understand the word glork, which turns out to be yet another bit of urban slang derived from computer programing shop talk.
Glork is more philosophy slang.
It’s often spelled ‘glark’, but I prefer the original spelling.
