This isn’t the case of a casino tagging cards without the players knowing it’s happening. RFID’d cards are used because these are publicly streamed games. To provide a high-quality experience for the viewer requires someone (or something, i

You've got me curious, what makes a particular keycap sell the prices you quote? I can understand how valuation tied to rarity, but people paying ~$500 for a single cap implies that there's significantly more to it than scarcity.

Are you sure about that, if the speed is moving greater than the posted limit? Waze displays your current speed as a green/red value compared against the posted speed. I can’t imagine they’d use absolute herd speed as the baseline agai

Interesting point. Do you know if the Master Settlement Agreement requires people to stop smoking cigarettes, specifically, or does it broadly classify any usage of nicotine-containing products as "continuing to smoke?" I could se

I agree, but my questions have to do with the economics of the panic, warranted or not. To build on your comment: Vaping is not a new concept[0] and if the act of vaping itself— rather than a problem with the supply chain (product purity, d

Who benefits from a temporary demand reduction or regulatory shift in vaping? * Health advocates * Alcoholic beverage producers * Tobacco producers (though I believe they have gone all-in on vaping as a healthier replacement) * Black- and g

Now you've swapped one attack surface for another (of a dubious origin).

I strongly disagree with your assertion. The two are not at all similar. Parents, by common definition and biologically, are there to support and protect their offspring. Keeping an eye on where your kids are is vastly different than commer

I’ve never seen it framed that way, but they may be referencing the estimated timeframe for the “heat death” of the universe: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

Understandable, and in the same vein of why it is so important for the United States to retain industrial manufacturing capacity (i.e. auto and heavy machinery makers) because you never know when you’ll need to rapidly ramp up production. W

You could claim up to $20k due to provable loss in addition to the $125 due (if you had existing credit monitoring). Edit: I missed my final line, “So you are right.”

Isn’t it fair to be critical of the project given that while it’s in the plan to finish it, funds have basically dried up? Until it actually connects the major centers it is marooned and of far less utility.

It’s hard to have something happen without first imagining how and why it would work. Is there something wrong with that if you also are aware of The existing problems and future pitfalls? I’m not blind to the challenges but also expect the

I’m envisioning an outcome beyond the article. Labor costs are higher in the U.S.A. to be sure but I wonder how much of a difference it ultimately is if you look at the related costs/benefits. I can think of a couple of reasons it is w

Changing gameplay between the E3 demo and the final release isn’t the problem, it’s when the difference between the preview gameplay is vastly better quality than the final. In the 12-24 intervening months one would expect a project to impr

Perhaps that’s the norm, though my coworker commented a few minutes ago about how she has asked her parents questions about politically-related issues or events in private and they still are evasive about answering. Her experiences may be u
