I love cycling and will cheer anything that moves. Right now, though, my go to is watching "norcal cycling" on youtube. The dude covers local/regional races and it's just fun.

I've watched too many years of sports out of Europe to be surprised by flexible rules. I've watched cycling since the early 90's and they were all over the place, making up their rules as they go.

At some point between this, age verification for the OS, and everything else, it starts to seem like a coordinated attack on computing.

There is lots of pro-union misinformation as well.

Up front pricing -- even if higher -- is welcome.

And they end up in court cases where the people using it contrary go in with an argument like, "we really need it" or "we already spent it". Depending on how connected they are versus the person who has already passed,

They will hold undisclosed drug busts/use against you.

What allies would those be?

Who would the charges be against? The person who violated some trust, or the market maker? I could be pretty neutral on the market maker, really. The point of a prediction market is to put information to use. There may be some line to be

Don't forget the other way of sidetracking what you're asking for: "Why are you doing this, do something else instead." I think most of my questions ended up with this, when I had very good reasons for doing it the way I

You have to complete the cycle to make sense. gambling happens, tax comes in, crime goes up, police get hired, politicians get the police vote

I find it humorous that these are simultaneously attacked as being gambling and attacked because some people know more than others and are "betting" on a sure thing.

Worst case Ferrari will make people buy these so they can buy something else.

If it didn't exist before and it exists now and is useful, sure. It's not like you push a button and it releases something awesome.

I had a good experience with my prius for quite a while. I wouldn't buy one with the noise either. I was annoyed daily that there was a loud beep during backup, which is the first thing I had to do every time I got in the car -- that

It seems calling a state purple is just using a synonym for red.

Yea, no cheating on anti-cheat servers. Never... It used to be an admin would just kick them. Now we don't get to be in control of our own games.

by LanceH 5mo ago
You let the people run their own servers and kick cheaters. That's one solution which has actively been taken away over the years.

Is audio always kept in addition to transcripts? (genuine question, I rarely record either)

by LanceH 5mo ago
They are saying that it could invalidate attorney client privilege because the transcription could technically be available to an outside party. I suspect what isn't being said by the lawyers is they want to keep attorney client privil

> But the real danger with these IMO is that they're turning casual conversations into a permanent record, and one that will be completely discoverable in court, should the company get into trouble later. I would add that their is n

Everyone calling for government intervention when unsubscribing or taking a device away from a child would work is just hastening the end of free (libre) general purpose computing. Insert credit card and two forms of id to log on...

That's my point. The major US and European sports don't really test, but the weight of PED blame falls on things like cycling and track.

by LanceH 5mo ago
It's "bleak" because some people enjoy making others feel worse about things they have no control over.

You've proven you can run one kilometer. You just need to prove that if you run any km, you could run the next km, then you're done.

by LanceH 5mo ago
It pains me that running, track, and cycling are "notorious" for doping, but the major sports don't test at any practical level compared to the "dirty" sports.

The politicians could all divest from these companies for a start. Anyone they are responsible for could be forced off social media, etc... This is just another case of some people deciding other people are too dumb to handle themselves or

As with any ban on anything, I would prefer that it start with the people who want it banned. So any advocates against social media and get off social media. Every politician and government employee in Norway should be off it. In general,

It was weighted and solid, like from an old stereo. You let it spin and stop it to move a longer distance quickly instead of doing multiple turns. My family had multiple (various) machines in an arcade and we kept this at home for some time
