   Exactly. My solution is also to just not eat out. Like the article says though, it's unfair to the businesses that choose not to do this. Maybe the solution is to just not pay extras if places don't disclose all costs up front.

   Every time a story like this pops up I find myself solely scanning comments for the critical flaw in the technology. Pavlovian dashed hopes response.

   "I’m blown away that they know a buyer has a habit of doing this, yet continue to let them operate on the platform." I agree it's maddening. The platforms also face the problem of banning someone only to have them open a new

   Unless you experienced it first-hand, it's hard to explain how magical these kind of things were in the 80's. All week long I'd look forward to getting to play Lode Runner, Ultima III, Wizardry, etc on the weekends.

    I wanted to know the state of Ted William's head, so I did a search. This is what I found: In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams'

    You complain about cherry-picking and belittling individuals and then go on doing the same thing.

    From Wikipedia: Other artists who cite Lehrer as an influence include "Weird Al" Yankovic, whose work generally addresses more popular and less technical or political subjects... Yankovic saw Daniel Radcliffe (who called Lehrer hi

    That's good because I always wonder about the dynamic of the establishment "old guard" voting down everything they don't agree with.

    How will a teacher know that most of a submitted term paper wasn't written by ChatGPT? Do you think it would stand up to the usual plagiarism checks? Also, I feel like us becoming the passengers on the Wall-E ship is getting closer and

    Corrections and retractions published on page D-12 never make up for the days of A-1 news that turns out to be incorrect. The new information is the turmoil that was going on withing twitter as they knowingly applied their suppression mecha

    Not saying there isn't lobbying efforts underway, but trying to limit Chinese-based video and audio equipment that's unaccountable to US laws or oversite from government locations seems like a reasonable thing to do. Dahua and Hik

    Forget the economy. It's just been really enjoyable to watch all the online crypto cultists shed their robes and huddle quietly into support groups. ;)

    New York Times / David Yaffe-Bellany are looking pretty bad in this. Bordering on straight-up propagandists. Yaffe-Bellany should have his kick-back accounts looked over a bit.

    For some more horribly bad VR fun, see the X-Files episode "First Person Shooter". Yikes. I'm ashamed of my year 2000 self because I'm sure I thought it was so awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wX

    I agree with your product placement comment. I feel gross when I notice it. I also wonder what happens when Netflix decides it makes way more money on people watching the ads - ie. Google initially calling ads a detriment to search quality
