Sure, but you fail to understand how rapidly this technology is changing. Yes, today it's a machine for spewing out glibly rephrased reddit posts. But think back to the 1970s when jetpacks were first demonstrated. Today we're all

Most buildings in Japan are very ugly because nobody invests that much in them, because of this mentality that they're all temporary. More interesting is that many temples in Japan - which are a lot more attractive than the minecraft r

I doubt that e.g. mobile carriers have the infrastructure in place to do state-by-state website blocking. Of course we can conceive of the mechanism very simply in the abstract, but that doesn't necessarily mean that implementing it wi

What about propaganda outlets like Newsmax and OANN? Many would argue they've had far more harmful impact on the USA than Tiktok ever could. Where do you draw the line? It has to be domestic propaganda? Can you prove that those don&#x2

They have to leave the UK if they're concerned about forking over 10% of their turnover as a penalty for failure to comply, but that means nothing if they're out of reach of UK courts, or a decentralized volunteer organization. Pl

Doesn't work in cases like this because most people aren't going to do a lot of research on a technical buy - they're intimidated by the task so they go with whatever the salesperson tells them. And the salespeople are paid t

Out of curiosity, why couldn't I make a printer driver that always sent the printer data with some extra yellow dots scattered around, in an arrangement that would make the tracking codes illegible?

I hate subscription pricing for software. But BBEdit is so good and has been such a key part of my livelihood for decades that I gladly pay to upgrade every time a new major version comes out, even if I don't need any of the new featur

That is a very short time in the domain world, and also approaching the half-life of Google's attention span.

Some registrars have done something called "domain tasting", where they will register a domain when they see interest via their web whois tool. Then they will offer it for a higher price. They were able to register it for five day

Whenever we get a flood of unwanted traffic dumped on us, it's coming from thousands of different IPs. They hijack everyone's old IoT trash and un-updated printers and wifi routers and Android 3.1 phones and use those to blast tra

Amazon feels like spam here in Europe too. Sketchy-looking products from weird brands that I have no faith in. A simple search fails to turn up items matching the keywords I entered (even though those items do exist in their catalog) and in
