Nextdoor sort of does that. They charge you $1 to verify your mailing address --then you get to post in your neighborhood group if you use your real name. Doesn't seem to have turned out all that great.

If you actually looked at the link, you could wonder what happened in the 1910s that popularized the word? Or wonder what caused that spike around 1960 and not just assume people are illiterate and in need your "gentle corrections&quo

I think a multi-modal LLM could give Microsoft a real shot at the phone market. Apps overall will become less relevant as 1-LLM app rules everything. Google could fumble here because they don't really like LLMs as they are a fundamen

Modern militaries can't really be divided, since in order to operate they needs huge amounts of money, fuel, logistic support. If a unit goes rogue their comms would be shutdown and their supplies would run out.
