Hell even in Amsterdam they have traffic lights. This isn’t an issue about the lack of public transportation.

I think the arguement is that the cameras are only there because people are running red lights. Don’t you want to catch people who habitually run red lights, and therefore represent a danger to the public? If you’re not the sort of person who runs the red lights then the cameras are irrelevant to you.

I’m a little confused, do you want people running red lights in the name of “personal liberty, yeehaw” because that seems like a bad idea.

Extract the eyes of murder victims and VLC will show their final moments.

I had it once play a video recorded on an old Motorola razr circa 2004. It was this super obscure file format, that basically only this one phone used, and was never used on any other phone.

VLC didn’t care, played it right out of the box without any problems.

It supports an obscure single use, 2004 video format. If aliens come to earth, VLC will be able to play their files too.

Are you trying to suggest that I would be better to just deny the cookies? I don’t know what you’re trying to say by linking to that article.

Device fingerprinting as a technique it’s pretty easy to defeat. There are plenty of privacy focused browsers that will also include device fingerprinting protection. In fact pretty much any browser that doesn’t store cookies will also do this device fingerprinting protection as well.

You could just build it as two hemispheres and then have a slit in the middle align to the orbital plane. You could have a few corridors every now and then as they wouldn’t really block out much light.

Although that wouldn’t really be a problem since in order to get enough material to actually build it you would need to dismantle most of the planets in the system including Earth. Which does rather present a difficulty and I suspect would be a major political blocker.

O’Neill cylinders are the only real reliable megastructure that would actually function.

Though it would need to be way bigger than the ship depicted in The Expanse or the gyroscopic forces would be too strong for anybody to be able to operate.

It doesn’t even look like anything, it’s just a random rectangles.

Presumably because no one is actually prepared to pay to read the sun. It’s not like it contains any actual news anyway.

Just use a browser that doesn’t save cookies. Then accept all.

I don’t know “eyes” is a difficult word to spell.

Why would the doctor not want people to stick things in the sand?

Fortunately there at Harvard business School so they probably already have access to plenty of nepotism.

Sometimes you just meet people and you just get a very good vibe for them and then you say things like that. It doesn’t actually mean you’re going to proceed but would probably scare them off.

Oh no you’re not putting that on everyone else. It’s American’s fault for just randomly deciding that everybody else should know where AR is. If you’re going to two letter abbreviate places they at least have to be places that the international community has ever heard of, America is full of nowhere places that haven’t turned up in popular media and no one from the international community has ever gone to.

I think if you’ve got to the point where you are even vaguely considering the idea of using one of these AI for personal gratification you are already fairly far down the rabbit hole and probably beyond the point of saving.

Even with someone with a barely standard sex drive the concept just isn’t appealing. Even if it was a real person the constant praise would just seem condescending and unearned after a while. In the end it would probably make you paranoid you or we’re some way a joke, and everyone but you gets it.
