Most of the ones I've come across have been GenX or younger.
Boomers are in their 60s now, they're not really going on the internet spreading rumours.

I have my doubts.. kidneys are complex beasts, which is why even dialysis doesn't entirely replace them (it stops you dying, which is nice, but lots of systems get fucked up).
You think? Look at the ages of the antivaxxers and trumpers..
Given the history of COP either one of two things will happen - (a) it gets rejected completely, citing some technicality like 'a bad comma in paragraph 36 that means the chinese delegate will never sign' or (b) it'll get agreed, then every country will proceed to completely ignore it.
In its current state it has basically no chance IMO.
If they'd concentrated in making AP/Highway driving smarter first they might have got that through.. there are already rules for that.. but cities? I'd love to see the autonomous car that could drive through London or Manchester.
Bet it wasn't google, it was something 'xingwang productions' calling themselves google.
Raspberry pi had loads of these during the shortage (still does, I think).. the listing has 'Raspberry Pi model 4B' and 'Visit the raspberry pi store' and '#1 best seller' and you dig a little and find it's a reseller who's shifting at a markup.
Amazon do nothing to prevent companies masquerading as others.
Pretty much what the UNECE did.. there are standards for these things. Tesla doesn't meet them, which is why FSD 'beta' is still 'seeking regulatory approval' in the rest of the world.
Can we not create yet another protocol to do basically the same things as everything else but not quite the same?
I don't really care if eventually we all use activitypub, or whatever bluesky is, or something completely different.. but there's little point in having hundreds of 'decentralised' protocols that don't talk to each other.
You have a positive balance? :o
In most countries trucks have bars between the trailer wheels, precisely because too many car drivers got an unwelcome haircut by not paying attention.
I remember failing an interview once because they wanted me to know all sorts of obscure c++ tricks. The kind of stuff that most people skipped over when they read about it because it has almost no use case. Had travelled 200 miles for that interview too.
No idea who they wanted.. someone who had a photographic memory to memorise a textbook, maybe?
We tend to give practical tests when interviewing.. 'go away and write this thing'. We're not testing whether they write it, or how they found the solution.. google is there to be used.. but the questions they ask about the (deliberately) interpertable spec and what the code looks like.
