I couldn't arrange it via app, so it seemed impossible at first. However, I asked the bellman at the hotel, and he called his taxi driver friend. I kinda overpaid from what I can tell, $100 american, but he just drove us across the bri

I took a taxi ride from Niagara (ON) to Buffalo. The Canadian driver really was leery of Americans and I apologized for everything. It's a dang shame, and I don't blame you all for feeling this way.

Payment processing networks are not free to build or operate. There are necessarily fraud controls and transaction reversals that require human oversight. This all costs. Nations can and should build this infrastructure, but in the absence,

The commentariat senses blood in the water and will criticize Ars Technica no matter how they respond here. It seems fine. The author really paid the price. I trust Ars to be extra vigilant to this going forward.

The thing that needs to be age banned, or really just banned, is algorithmic feeds with infinite scroll. Kids (and adults) need to just interact with their friends, and block all the bait.

It was an insurrection, and he should have been barred from rerunning by the 14th amendment, but come on with adding deaths to the event that were not the one dumbass chick.

What I tell my kids is: You know how when you ask AI about something you know very well, how its answers are always somewhat wrong? It's like that for things you do not know very well too.

This is my experience of it too. Perhaps if it was chunking through a large task like upgrading all of our repos to the latest engine supported by our cloud provider, I could leave it overnight. Even then it would just result in a large day

I think that's a misunderstanding of the tale. Viva sent a "click here to verify your email" to OP. That email never arrived because Google rejected it for missing a header. OP tried to tell viva, but they don't wanna he

Interesting, your take away is that Google is the one with the bug here?

by flerchin 8mo ago
The specific bug is annoying, but that there's no way to report such a thing is an exact hallmark of our current corposphere.

It's a bit reductive, but yes people are sent to prison for being convicted of crimes.

Is the pummeling in the room with us right now? YoY looks phenomenal in my portfolio.

Was that a mistranslation, and instead the meaning is that the true population is 1 billion fewer than the generally accepted ~8 billion people? So more like 7 billion?

Riveting ends in a real item that can often be used to produce further economic value. Elder care is not analogous to this, and the economic value is only what the elder can pay for it.

Let's not sacrifice anymore Americans in the name of freedom, but the number was substantially fewer than 10,000, not anywhere close to 150,000. Perhaps that many Iraqis died, or maybe even more.

Seemingly adequate for certain drone applications like in Ukraine. They may only need a couple charge cycles, and 4x the capacity is huge.

A privacy play would be more successful from Mozilla if I were paying them for it. The incentives would be aligned. I cannot pay google for privacy, because they are incentivized against that.

Based on this writeup it seems that Cloudflare defaults to a 0 score for bot prevention if there's a failure. Could instead it default to a passing score? Default open instead of default closed? This would have been a non-event to a lo

These orders, while written like they're orders, seem to be suggestions? They first ordered 20% flight reductions at major hubs, and 10% at minor hubs. Now the airlines have cancelled low single digit percentages. This is easily viewab

You wouldn't have to imagine it if you visited Dallas. AT&T stadium has roughly the same capacity as Wembley, and no public transit at all.

I like seeing new features in Firefox even though I won't use nearly any of them. It indicates new ideas and investment into software that I very much want to continue to exist, that I use everyday.
