Companies cannot legally provide a lot of services to minors. For other services there is enough bureaucracy that it's easier to avoid by not providing the service to minors. It's also easier to ban accounts for life when they lie

There's too much focus on Frege (as well as Russell and Wittgenstein) in analytic philosophy. You would think people such as Boole, Peirce, Łukaiewicz, Tarski, Brouwer, Heyting, Gentzen, Prawitz, Girard, and Martin-Löf are mere footnot

Not quite positive sum, but there's a German board game called Max. Players cooperate to get a bird, a chipmunk and a mouse safely to a tree while a cat named Max is chasing them. Players roll dice that decide how much the cat or other

Militaries (Western and non-Western) usually try out their "shiny new military tech" in whatever conflict they can use it. And their arms companies will try and sell their latest wares.

Nope. It's actually how it worked. They patented it and published papers about it.

There are already sitemaps, and pages used structured data like HTML5/ARIA roles, RDF or JSON+LD to provide some semantic annotations. I'd rather that web robots use this information to build useful indexes than to have to worry a

It will be interesting to see what the index contains, and how it is structured. What made Google such a game changer was that they based their index not just on the contents, but on how pages linked to each other.

It really has to do with the "programmer" and not the language. Those learn to program and make fast money books were a product of the 1990s, and they appealed to people who cared more about making money than about producing any k

Badly-written Perl code from the 1990s is not the fault of the language. It's the fault of the non-programmers who read "Learn Perl in 2 hours and become a millionaire" books, had a massive s*t on a keyboard and started a bus

It's literally gambling with your time. You do the work, with the hope of winning a job. That's several hours of your time that could be used for things that will have a more immediate benefit: working your current day job, workin

Having to show up in person would be a non-starter, especially if I had to travel far or had to show up during business hours. I'm sceptical that it would provide much more security. Do you have the skills or technology to validate phy

I run a website for a small company. The site has been around since the mid-1990s, and bots are a minor annoyance, but not a problem. We also use some simple heuristics to reject obvious bot traffic. One of the simplest is to have a form fi
