The industry clearly prefers a system in which using the internet requires full identification. There are many powerful interests that support this model: - Governments benefit from easier monitoring and enforcement. - The advertising indus

From a technological standpoint, it is pointless. But from a marketing perspective, it is very important. Take this trick question as an example. Gemini was the first to “fix” the issue, and the top comment on Hacker News is praising how Ge

Gemini pro medium is failing this: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters from here. Should I walk or drive? Keep in mind that I am a little overweight and sedentary. But amazingly chatgpt is telling me to drive. Anyway, this just

It has been patched. I tried it last week and it definitely suggested walking. It seems like all the models have been updated, which is not surprising given that the TikTok video has got 3.5 million views.

This has been viral on Tiktok far at least one week. Not really 4 hours.

This trick went viral on TikTok last week, and it has already been patched. To get a similar result now, try saying that the distance is 45 meters or feet. The new one is with upside down glass: https://www.tiktok.com/t&#x2F

One thing I have learned from the Epstein files is that when someone labels themselves as “woke,” “progressive,” or committed to “class struggle,” you should not automatically take them at their word. People lie and cheat all the time.

I saw the video and understand the problem but I cannot simulate it. The keyboard always works great for me. Could it be that this bug is related to AI? Or some language settings?

SHOULD = You are strongly recommended to do this, but it’s not absolutely required. - In most cases, you are expected to follow it. - You can choose not to follow it, but you must have a very good reason. For example, RFC 7231 say that ther

India’s UPI is national service so fraud is “relatively easy” to combat but it depends on banks’ responsiveness. However, i heard from my Indian friends is that UPI fraud is on the raise and becoming a big challenge. Edit: UPI fraud rate i

The problem arises when the banks are in two different countries. If money leaves your account and mistakenly ends up in an account in another country, even within Europe, it can be very difficult to recover. That is why national payment sy

I think what people are missing in this conversation is fraud prevention and protection. Any cross border payment solution, even within Europe, that lacks strong fraud protection is dead on arrival. But I suspect the fraud problem will be i

I really cannot imagine a world without credit cards. How do you buy Christmas presents, everything in cash? I am half joking. But that might be one reason why business ideas from the US do not always translate well to Europe, and vice vers

I have always wondered what kind of shenanigans Mastercard or Visa did to convince so many banks to use their networks for debit cards. When did banks actually make that switch? It must be relatively recent, because I remember not that long

I think the misunderstanding is that when I say “credit card,” I do not mean a physical card. I have not used a physical card in years. In the US, when people hear Mastercard or Visa, they usually associate that with a credit card (virtual

So Wero is not a credit card, but something more like Venmo? How is it supposed to replace Visa and Mastercard?

There has to be some lag, and it is more about who controls Congress. For example, the housing crisis and bubble were largely driven by legislation passed years earlier, including the 1999 repeal of Glass Steagall under Clinton. That was pa

By looking the list it seems like it is not really “sophisticated”. It is just list based on names (if there is a “email” in the name). Majority of extensions do not even ask for permissions to access linkedin.com.

I do not think this is really about privacy as much as it is about our broken immigration system. Let’s look at a simple case where both Democrats and Republicans largely agree. On January 6, 2026, all South Sudanese nationals lost their TP

I just want to clarify why this is not so straightforward. It really depends on how the term “illegal alien” is defined. Before BBB July 4, Medicare covered the following groups: - Refugees - Asylum seekers - Immigration parolees - TPS hold

I am old enough to remember when string theory was expected to explain and unify all forces and predict everything. Sadly, it failed to deliver on that promise. And there is no known single real world experiment that can rule out string the

How can we solve this problem? The only idea I can think of is a law that requires companies, once they reach a certain number of users or market share, to provide a formal process to restore accounts that are a certain number of years old.

I just want to point that buying gift cards in order to participate in gift-card arbitrage violates both apple rules and payment provider rules. If you are buying large amounts of gift cards and then redeeming them, it is critical that your
