Such a badly written title.

I read that thinking, yeah it sounds dystopian but who has coins, and found out:

1. Most of them aren’t coin operated.
2. It sounds like they’re getting less common.

Should have called it “the rise and fall of pay-to-use elevators”.

There’s no chance Trump will give you the $5 back.

I think that’s a US thing.

The UK requires intent to kill or greviously injure, which was also missing in this case.

This makes no sense. Why would a school’s insurance policy cover kids outside of school (excluding the bus which might still be school jurisdiction)?

And if insurance doesn’t cover them anyway, it shouldn’t care what they do.

Numbers from elsewhere in the conversation.

The UK has fewer knife attacks per person than the US.

It’s just that there’s so much gun violence, no one talks about it.

I would assume the token is only good for a few page accesses.

E.g. 500 would mean that a person would see this extremely rarely, and still block a bot from crashing the site.

I think it’s just been easy to ignore how evil they are.

They’ve been tightly linked with Peter Thiel since they took over PayPal which has constantly stolen people’s money. It’s just harder for an auction house like eBay to be obviously evil.

This is a very American thing.

Measuring popularity in terms of money spent.

By this metric, spending time with loved ones or going for a short walk has zero popularity.

That sounds like Elon musk’s shitty project to rewrite Wikipedia using grok.

It’s basically just the facts from Wikipedia plus right wing talking points and AI hallucinations.

I always wonder it’s what we see now.

Supreme court justices are lifetime appointments and can freely reinterpret the law to mean what ever they want.

The quantified scientist would be the first to tell you that he’s making these determinations on a sample size of one (sometimes he gets a friend to help, and then it’s a sample size of two).

So maybe what ever tech you’re thinking about will work for him and not for you or vice versa.

Unfortunately, it’s kinda like the wild west out there. The tech changes so fast that no one has time to do a big study and figure out what actually works.

Oh it’s much worse than that.

Cops have used Flock’s FreeForm search feature to look for people with tattoos and wearing specific sport shirts, and searches sometimes include the target’s race, according to data reviewed by 404 Media.

Yeah, it was from a list of factors that contribute to an overall decrease. That doesn’t mean that it affects everyone in the world, just that it is part of the reason for some of the decrease.

It’s not even USB. All data connections are wireless and either through a phone connection or a Wi-Fi mesh network (and calling it a mesh is generous, in practice this will be a dodgy daisy chain of connections running down the road).

That’s fine for updating the timing of lights to match sunset, but it sucks for data heavy applications like video surveillance.

Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.

Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.

Having pleasantly cool nuts is good for your sperm production. I guess it probably does something similar for testosterone production.

You can order those directly from china via the big resalers like AliExpress or temu.

You’re still giving a cut to a big Amazon like company, but even when you buy things like phone cases locally, the local shops probably just brought it from one of the big resalers anyway.

Yeah, try riding a folding bike with small wheels, you wobble a lot more.

It’s not about the magnitude of the rotational inertia (which is roughly the same or maybe a bit higher on larger wheels that are probably heavier), it’s about the center of the gyroscopic effect. It’s at a greater height if you have big wheels, and closer to the ground if you have small ones.

I think it only holds if it’s a magic engine that always hits the same max RPM regardless of load, and the transmission is the same.

Otherwise the top land speed record would be held by a monster truck.
