There will probably still be a handful of '80s-'00s cars running in 2050+. There are some bulletproof Toyotas and Hondas out there. You might have to replace the frame every few decades as it rusts, but that is possible with body-

The problem is that you need a lot of money to be free of servitude.

Adderall treats people who have ADHD, but for those who don't have the disorder, it does what you'd expect a cocktail of amphetamines to do. Tough for the kids who get misdiagnosed, huh?

The censors are one of the main reasons why China is so far behind on AI R&D. No unfiltered training data, and severe penalties if the AI hallucinates something that is against the party line.

You'd need more than an internet that could not be shut off. You'd also need an internet where communication could not be tracked. One of the most effective ways to maintain an authoritarian regime is to proactively prevent a crit

Why not try it? Wake up tomorrow, and decide that all of your most optimistic hopes and beliefs are objectively true. That harebrained idea that you've been nursing is a sure winner, and it could deliver 12.5% returns with enough backi

Why not, besides the practical impossibility of the current Congress passing such a law? IMHO, it would level the playing field for honest manufacturers and service providers. Sure, it would effectively outlaw many types of ads that we see

If I were a legislator, I would introduce a bill to ban footnotes in advertising. Everything that the company feels it needs to print, must be included in the main ad copy. Enough with this coy duplicity.

Yeah...that's how I've usually done things, too. I'm starting to reconsider, and trying to flip off a power strip with PC/TV/etc before bed. It is inconvenient to lose state. Web browsers can happily spring back up

Seems like it could be fairly simple to define whether a UGC site can be considered "not social media". * No recommended content. Chronological feed with basic search functionality is okay. Auto-generated "popular posts"

You can just show up and park. You can buy an annual pass directly from the government for ~$100 that covers campsite/entrance fees in pretty much every national park, or put some cash in an envelope with a form and leave it in a dropb

Banks can offer incentives for certain levels of deposits. Better interest rates, better cards, better loans. SVB offered perks to bank exclusively with them. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/12/silicon-valley-ban

The problem is that people aren't rational, and they don't have perfect information. So the history of finance and commerce has been a cat-and-mouse game where the cats find new ways to cheat people, and the mice try to recognize

How about Ford, in Dearborn MI? They were really into controlling their workers' behavior outside of work. If Ring had existed in Henry Ford's time, he would have had surveillance cameras in every home, reporting to Ford's in

Nah, you can easily get a residential mortgage from smaller lenders with just proof of income/savings, and the sort of light credit usage you get from monthly CC payments, rent, utilities. That will net you a solid credit score, too. T

Is it really a "cold wallet" if you can quickly transfer funds out from a smartphone app, and that process is easier than using a banking app?

But don't 12V lead-acid batteries have a wide voltage range between charged (~14.5V) and discharged (~10V)? I don't think they would provide exactly 12.6V very often, or for very long.

Exactly, standards should be durable and predictable. They need slow, lumbering curators. When it comes to overbroad laws like the cookies thing, lazy malicious adherence is the name of the game. Simply block JavaScript from domains like &q

They add another common standard, probably allowing manufacturers to choose between "old" and "new" for a little while. Similar to the switch from microUSB-B to USB-C. Budget phones kept using the cheap option for awhile

Personally, I'd be surprised if most mammals weren't generally happier than people. Cats, dogs, and sea mammals seem to have it all figured out. Apes and monkeys, less so - chimpanzees are brutal. Tiger got to hunt. Bird
