PoW barely affects the "residential proxies" aka. malware botfarms. The IPs are free for them and siphoning additional system resources for PoW doesn't matter at all for them. PoW only affects the large centralised…
All it takes is a populist with a good message to make a political group. All functional Western nations have voting mechanisms that allow for radical government change, if there is enough public support for it. It…
Indexes rebalance frequently. The "correct weight" today, won't be the correct weight in a year.
They succesfully did away with 2nd hand markets and the concept of "owning" anything. So yes, I would imagine DRM would continue to exist without piracy.
>of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world I think ~48 are in North and South America Why have you bundled South America with North America? Of the top 50, I see 4 from the US. Compared to about 40 (eye balling it)…
If cheaters were capped to mimicking good players, that's already an incredible win over the status quo. The players that are walling (as an example), are playing with more information than they should and this should…
Looking at someone cheating in a replay, it's pretty obvious the majority of the time. To me, this signals that this could be a problem that can be solved by a combination of analytics to filter out statisticaly…

That's one method, but consider what happens when someone deposits a million dollars at a bank. This million dollars can be lent out to another person as a mortgage, and guess where that person accepts that money?…
On the other hand, health care is not scaling to meet the growing demand of societies (look at the growing wait queues for access to basic medical attention in most Western nations). The cause of this is a separate…
We're lucky the EU regulators moved so slowly that the industry had already consolidated around USB-C (a standard that Apple was a key participant of and would have eventually moved to eventually). When they were first…
I disagree! There very much is a distinction and every age verification process will have the same failure mode. If there is something wrong with your account or ID, the user will have to go via the manual support…
>Discord lost thousands of them, despite promising to delete them after age verification occurred (and then not doing so) This is misleading, yet everyone seems to repeat it. Discord's implementation of ID verification…
I don't want to touch their greasy in-store touch screens that thousands of other people touch. And those "deals" are way cheaper per user than large marketing campaigns, and probably more effective too. I wonder how…
Yet the Maccas app in Australia is atrocious for me. Takes >30secs to load the huge ad that pops-up before you can get to the menu. Close the ad and the menu takes another eternity, then inside each sub menu, you wait…
Cloudflare has a stranglehold on the internet, but its marketshare is much lower than the incumbant email giants. Aprroximately 70-90% of all email goes through Google & Microsoft. You're trading one benevolant toll…

Good luck finding a modern car that doesn't have a stereo. And continuing the analogy, good luck finding jeans without a zipper. When the only affordable and available options spy on you, it's simple enough to keep them…
Yes? I use my Windows 11 with a local account, no microsoft account involved.
Just telling you the options I was presented with, having to go through the process. I'm not sure what the alternative is for false positive identifaction as a minor.
The platforms all seem to have a fallback "support a ticket with your government ID, and we pinky promise to delete the ID after verifying you".
While you're taking your break, exploits gain traction in the wild and one of the value propositions for using a service provider like CloudFlare is catching and mitigating theses exploits as fast as possible. From the…
Depending on the host, you may get charged a big bill for traffic. If you're hosting at home, your ISP may blackhole all traffic to your residence (affecting your day job and being a nightmare). When it comes to DDoS,…
