Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....
Surely they're not going to give the game away on the first generation ?
To end the PC and turn it into a phone.
Surely they would let people run linux for gen 1 & gen 2 and only then lock the bootloader. And maybe keep a triple priced version with an unlockable bootloader until the alternative OS community dies of attrition.
Also all of them have locking torque converters so there is no energy loss at constant speed.
Also also, unless going upward at an incline. Most of the power requirements come from aerodynamic drag, not rolling friction of the trailer.

As much as X can get bent
The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization.
How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media. A clear sign of the omnipresent censure and purge of dissenting opinion in our supposedly "free" society.
I should have clarified, freely available mainstream media and art.
I don't watch ads so I can't say for sure, I don't consider advertising to be part of art and media, more like a form of pollution on top.
From what I've senn tge most you might get are suggestive allusions to sex. It's just not treated as the everyday part of life that it is.
By comparison, it is entirely overshadowed by violence and gore.

A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

Yesterday, I wrote all of this, working javascript code https://github.com/igorlogius/gather-from-tabs/discussions/8
And I don't know a lick of javascript
I know other languages but that barely was needed. I just gave it plain language instructions and reported the errors until it worked.
That's probably going to be a big deal in future AI lawsuit.
If intellectual property isn't exterminated wholesale it will lead to explicitely refusing to answer any person or copyrighted works by name.
So instead of "sing a song about bananas by Taylor Swift" it will be "sing a song about banana by a female singer pop singer whose songs are, on the whole, quite straightforward, primarily revolving around the saga of girl-meets-boy, boy-fails-to-live-up-to-expectations, girl-pens-another-breakup-anthem. Each track features tales of romantic entanglements and emotional rollercoasters, culminating in catchy, radio-friendly tunes that are sure to dominate the charts, accompanied by dramatic twists and heartfelt reconciliations that appear almost out of thin air."
I've never completely understood this, but I think the answer would probably be "no," although I'm not sure. Usually when I leave the house I turn off wifi and just use mobile data (this is a habit from my pre-VPN days), although I guess I should probably just keep it on since using strange Wi-Fi with a VPN is ok (unless someone...
How about we instead eliminate the people who think it's wrong or otherwise demeaning to have publicly available of yourself nude. I can't imagine these people have any redeeming qualities anyway. And by eliminate, I mean hunt them with a crossbow.
Communist transportation will never ever ever ever ever ever ever be easier than driving.
Because driving is "get in the car, go directly to destination"
Public transport adds walk to transport rally point, wait, follow a compromise route to accomodate other travellers with many stop, consider all the strangers gazing and judging you, arrive at not your destination, walk 5 to 20 mins to your actual destination. Plus you must carry any object on your person while navigating the terrain (good luck hauling 50lbs of groceries).
I am simply not interested in this nightmare, find a solution that isn't horrible.
And NOoo I don't want Musks robot taxis from the "you will own nothing" dystopia.
I live in the forest, we have no problem with parking. There is space everywhere. I don't mind a little mud on my tires and shoes, not everywhere has to be concrete
I would love public transport that is actually better than a car. I can't imagine how that could happen. So what they will probably do is cripple car users until it is intolerable to use. Like make it cost more than your yearly salary just for the license and insurance, plus 10x the price of fuel with taxes.
City anti-car attitude will cause us a lot of pain. They will make car ownership painful to disincentivize it and we will just have to suck it up, if we fail to kill that movement.
