I think part of the thing is the scarcity of activities like this, having it for free at home will probably kill the mood. It's like video game arcades. When you had to pay to play for 2 minutes, it was way more exciting than now playi

I wonder what kind of life the author has in order to start 9 disputes worth $12k in just 7 months. The only dispute I had in the last year is some $3 tweezers I ordered on Amazon that never shipped, and Amazon automatically reimbursed the

Datacenters need a source of water, and human populations are usually concentrated in those places too for the same reason.

Why was this pointless "artistic" performance worth describing in so much detail? What a loss of time, both for the author and the readers.

I'm the owner of a 2025 Dacia Jogger. It has a physical button to disable all warnings and alarms, which I really appreciate, but I still need to press that button twice (with ~1s of delay between pushes), and I need to do it every tim

So let's trust all future Governments to never remove the 6-month law? Once the whole technical system is implemented, it will be trivial to remove that bureaucratic limitation, and somehow it will be sold as better protection for the

In your proposed scheme, it is in the best interest of web sites to store the certificates from users indefinitely, since it's the only evidence they have that prove that their users are not minors. Since authorities have the power of

Mandatory package screenings to detect explosives? I don't know if that's technically feasible at scale, or if that's already implemented (and I'd prefer not to ask that kind of question to Google/ChatGPT)

If I tell someone literally "What value do you have if you're just acting as a pipe to the AI?", I'm pretty sure my manager will schedule a quick 1:1 to ask me why I'm telling peers that they have no value.

Today's electorate is unfit. Is it also because they had TikTok when they were children? Or are they unfit because they consumed fake-news and QAnon-like content as adults? If it's the latter, how is age verification supposed to h

If companies are required to verify age, then it's in their best interest to store all tokens, just in case they are ever accused of not verifying it. The Swiss E-ID system stores people identifiers and token status lists in their so-c
