“Are you going to [pay] me interest then because you’re running late?”

Yes, they should. Their rates are actually pretty decent. If he doesn’t need the money immediately, this isn’t the worst place to park it.

I don’t know why the article didn’t answer that question. This is a very easy thing for any journalist to research.

We’re either paying for it though our job, out of pocket, or through taxes. It’s not free. I’d much rather have it come out of taxes to reduce the middle men just profiteering from our system.

It’s been a while since I used Plex, but is it really that much less complicated than Jellyfin? When I switched, it seemed like roughly the same amount of complication, but that was a long time ago.

I regret not holding on to them until could cash 3 or 4 of them simultaneously, just to see how that would play out.

I suspect poorly for you. They should be rejected immediately, but if they go through, they’ll eventually be reversed, and you may be investigated for fraud. Your accounts could be closed, and possibly (though unlikely) you could also be arrested.

What makes you think they want good press? Their current strategy of openly embracing corruption and greed has been working out pretty well for them, and the fans are still giving them hundreds or thousands of dollars.

What do passkeys allow someone to track that a password login wouldn’t?

Is that hell caused by the Cuban government or the American sanctions?

It’s probably both, but from my perspective as an outsider, the American sanctions seem to be doing a lot more damage.

I don’t think that number is correct. Their source does say “monthly” in a few places (though notably, not next to the actual figures) but I think that’s the daily average. Other sources [1] [2] also yield numbers closer to 6.6 kWh/day.

So it won’t need 100 m^2 of solar panels per household; it’ll only need about 3-4 m^2 of solar, which is also in line with what a residential rooftop installation would look like.

Wait… Can we use this somehow to get Smith (and probably Ford) to open up the constitution and make healthcare a federal responsibility?

Gotcha. That was my misunderstanding then. I’ve seen people talk about something similar: a government issued “id” (potentially tied to your driver’s license or whatever) that digitally identifies that the holder is of a certain age, but nothing more. That’s what I thought you were proposing here as well.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your idea, but it also seems unnecessary, and makes it easier for businesses to track you - not harder. If the purpose isn’t to obfuscate information, they can just look at a driver’s license and see their birth date and that the picture matches the person using it. It also doesn’t really have anything to do with the subject of the post (online age verification).

Can you explain how I’d use my smartcard to verify my age on a website? Does everyone need to buy a card reader for their computer?

That has the same issue as a lot of privacy-protecting age verification services, which is that there’s never actually a moment when someone verifies that you are you.

Like, if someone sold their key and password to a few people, it would still work everywhere and there would be no obvious reason for the key to be revoked. All it takes is one poorly implemented (or malicious) website to capture everyone’s keys and passwords, and then they sell them to kids.

I don’t think there’s a way to avoid that issue. You can either implement privacy or verifiability, but not both, and governments are going to trend towards verifiability.

so he wanted to lock in four years

Five years. Provincial governments (at least Ontario) have a five year term.

The debris will be microscopic. It won’t “land” anywhere noticeable.

The fine particulate matter may not be great for the ozone layer, but it’s actually pretty negligible compared to all of the other pollution that we’re not addressing either. That doesn’t justify the pollution, but hopefully it helps contextualize it.

My mom is from Singapore and I’ve visited many times.

I don’t agree with their drug laws (or capital punishment in general), but there are dozens of warnings throughout the airport and on the passport control paperwork (in bold red letters) that you have to ignore to get to this point. They make it as clear as possible that importing drugs is a capital offense.

WW2 wasn’t just, but that doesn’t mean it’s not just to defend yourself or others.

Starting a war is never just. Participating might be just, but it doesn’t make the war just.

If we had proportional representation, the conservatives would never be in power. Even though I think the apathetic non voting crowd leans more left, I think Doug’s populism and marketing would certainly garner some votes if everyone were compelled to vote. And historically, they’ve really only needed 40% of the for to win.

EVs solve one issue with cars. There are a lot of other fundamental issues with a society built around cars that EVs don’t address.

Why sadly?

Fast food is based on real dishes. If you can make it yourself with better ingredients, then that’s a great thing to do.

If I put a soft tortilla around a hard tortilla and make a taco, I can’t deny that it’s an idea from Taco Bell. But it’ll taste a lot better and be healthier.

There are actually laws in some places in Canada against providing different pricing based on payment method

I don’t think there’s any laws against this. What I found specifically says:

Under the Code of Conduct for the Payment Card Industry in Canada, you may choose to offer discounts for different payment methods and between different payment card networks.

I know that historically, Visa and Mastercard have prohibited merchants from charging fees for using a credit card, but couldn’t do anything about offering discounts if they didn’t use a credit card. I believe they removed that from their merchant agreements a while ago, because it was mostly performative, and I don’t think they enforced it very well.
