Hilarious, makes me kind of want to see it fail again just to see what people come up with as the next name in line.

This is... how that almost always works? People don't check how much it sums up to with those smaller payments and pretty much always end up paying more. Because it is so little per payment, the average person looking at this does not consider that.

I actually always wondered about the y in old texts. Thanks!

The enforcing part is where this is likely to get shitty. Once they establish this as a law they maybe will try and sue companies that don't provide an age check on their websites. Now if that is possible I am not sure, seeing as many of those are having HQs in Ireland or Netherlands due to tax reasons.

But if that is successful it would mean they actually have to check everyone's age by some means, which means collecting IDs. Which definitely is bad news for users, we all know that data won't be securely stored or deleted.

Not sure how else this could go down.

Pharaos were the OG preppers.

Not an expert so I might be wrong, but as far as I understand it, those specialised tools you describe are not even AI. It is all machine learning. Maybe to the end user it doesn't matter, but people have this idea of an intelligent machine when its more like brute force information feeding into a model system.

I have very low expectations for this.

Her character in the series was out of place for the longest time. And the only time she wasn't, was the beginning when she was a true adversary. Michelle Yeoh is a good actress, but this character was just terrible material.

Because you were silently judged. Behind your back. Always.
