However, this is not about age verification or protecting children. That is just the excuse they are using. If Meta, Google etc could easily have algorithms in place for determining the age of the person seeing the video - apart from having

I wish there was a similar attempt at making "open source" motorcycles

What a stupid move! way to make things worse for yourself! Some people have such low impulse control it is just unbelievable the sort of damage they can do to themselves and others.

The Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero mess impacted a lot of software. They could have still been the king of the hill now if it weren't for the suits who completely ruined it after Philippe Kahn left the scene.

There is a transaction charge for IMPS which is not there for UPI. Also, IMPS only works against already pre-approved bank accounts

It would be great if the Phel repl could connect to a running PHP process

India's UPI is also extremely quick and easy to use - instant transfers with just the person's phone number or via a QR code or via a UPI id which looks like an email id. We are talking about 19-20 billion transactions per month.

PHP remains one of the fastest ways of getting a web application done - especially with frameworks like Yii2, Laravel etc.

The governments know fully well that simple checks for age verification will be bypassed. So they will "fix" this issue by demanding a digital id.

Wow! I am sure the kids are totally kicked and will remember this for the rest of their lives! We need many more of these sorts of projects - for kids as well as adults

Google Maps has made me a total idiot. I can't remember routes to places where I have gone quite a few times!

Just as the advent of palm-sized organizers reduced our ability to recall dozens and sometimes even 100s of phone numbers of friends etc, AI will reduce our ability to perform a range of functions. I think the evidence for this is quite cle

Why in the world would you give an AI agent the ability to delete your production database AND ALL OF YOUR BACKUPS in one go?! And it is not even the first highly publicised instance of this happening! Crazy!

Any second now they will also find out that AI won't buy the products you create either.

It was my favourite magazine. The only way I could access it was by going to the US Information Services Library attached to their consulates. I learned a tremendous deal from it and I will forever be grateful.

This is yet another underhanded attempt at making digital id mandatory. Child protection is just the trojan horse. EU also released their age verification legislation. Notice how closely they are timed. https://www.dw.com/en

UX has really gone downhill. This is particularly true of banking websites. Also, the trend of hiding scrollbars, huge wasted spaces, making buttons look really flat, confusing icons, confusing ways of using drop downs rather than using the

Why not just use C++ Builder or Delphi?

At this point it is very difficult to develop truly open OSs for mobiles because so much of the hardware depends on undocumented binary blobs. As I see it, the only options is to go for a drastically simpler design of the hardware - which m
