Now you just need to vibe code it into agentic solution and sell subscriptions to it!
they just grabbed the better one (3-large) right off the bat. 6x cost to 3-small, but it's still tiny.

Philosophically, the only was to see BIAS is to have BIAS. Completely unbiased person will not see BIAS in anything.

So, who are the judges?

Right.

I focus on building projects delivering some specific business value and pick the tools that gets me there.

There is zero value in spending cycles by engaging in new tools hype.

I wonder if these things read and decode QR codes on cars?

Then you may stick QR code on bumper pointing to web page you control and track when something hits the page.

AI is just a helpful tool.

Ages ago someone surely cried that cars will cause our legs to disfunction.

When people see “I collect” they won’t even bother reading further.

This is showstopper.

Noble reasons won’t matter.

Spyware perception.

I agree. Working in a fraud space myself.

Typically the ones who cares about virtual vs. physical cards are the questionable vendors trying to push shady, automated, hard-to-cancel subscription services or alikes to customers.

Virtual cards are designed just for this purpose - to let consumers gain upper hand in shady business practices.

Wordpress is like microsoft. If you want to build a honeypot to attract malware and bad scripted traffic quickly - wordpress is the way.

Do you need it?

There are way better options today.

Sleep woke and well.

Government racket. Expected by large corps. Probably some handshakes and kickbacks are happening behind the closed doors.

US Companies working to arrange permanent resident status for their already existing visa worker have to prove that they cannot find a qualified candidate.

For that they have to place bunch of ads, get through doomed-to-fail interviews with candidates just to comply with INS processes.

So tons of ads exists just to accomodate INS and nothing to do with your skills.

Add correct pronouns :-P
Does is also include asking for forgiveness to all the taxpayers who are going to subsidize this administration's idiocy?
>> Reuters' source would not identify which governments were making the data requests but described them as "democracies allied to the United States."

It feels so liberating to be spied upon by "democracies allied to the United States." vs. others.

LOL.

Instead of fighting with evil (unless it's your quest) - look for a good guys, like namecheap, and use them.

Lots of time, nerves and money saved.

The problem is getting laptop out of a fridge. Everything immediately gets covered by humidity.

Easy to brick electronics.

..and add here technically superior plastic flowers with a selection of natural scent sprays :)

See if the root of this question is in distrust in people.

Which originates in distrust in yourself.

Elections are coming soon.

Can't prosecute the voters if you want to be reelected.
