Tow trucks would also be very useful to handle the people who think the trolley tracks, the bus stop or the sidewalk are a good place to park their car. With trolleys, it'd be even better if the tracks themselves had some kind of AI te

That would presumably be the city of Caesarea in Mauretania[0] which was the capital of that province. According to the Wikipedia article for the modern town at that site[1], it was also called Iol in ancient times. [0]: https://

The "lying" I referred to would be pretending that you're actually interested in a non-remote job for anything other than the money you need to survive until you can find a remote job. Even if you don't come right out an

I doubt you can even get a hybrid position in this market if you clearly prefer remote work but can't find a remote job. Companies generally aren't going to hire somebody who clearly doesn't want to be there so the only peopl

In my experience, most people don't seem to understand the concept of noise cancelling headphones and will still try to talk to people who clearly can't hear them. I can't imagine it'd be any different for these AI headp

I'd say the main reason why there's a phobia of using C would be that it is a language that requires skilled programmers. C programmers are not interchangeable cogs which means corporations that are dependent upon C code have to h

There are plenty of web sites where you can (legally) scalp tickets. I don't see how you can argue that Ticketmaster is a monopoly when you can also buy tickets on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and several other sites I don't rem

There's also the issue of users trying to downrank any polarizing site because they disagree with it. To pick an example, think of the search term "vaccine" and how strongly people on both sides feel about it. Eventually, you

That explains quite a bit. My entire career since college has been "worked at smaller startups or done consulting, contracting, or freelancing." How is somebody with that background who doesn't have enough runway or funding t

That seems extremely plausible. The last thing McDonald's wants is a franchise doing something innovative or different because it wouldn't be the same terrible experience as every other McDonald's.

If you're finding food that is past the expiration date on a regular basis, you're probably wasting money on stuff you rarely or never actually eat. It isn't a problem anybody should be running into.

Gaming web sites publish articles on how to create PSN accounts in other regions[0] because this is common practice for gamers who care about imports (hence why Play-Asia will sell you out of region PSN gift cards). I imagine China is a spe

If you live in a country where you can't create a PSN account, just create one for another country. You can trivially find addresses to use online. To make digital purchases, you can import gift cards from the same region as your accou
