Requiring a fullscreen window stops almost all possible abuses, though, as you cannot do this from a background process.

When working remotely, you're often allowed to pick between employment and b2b contracts, which is essentially the same thing.

And when I have to access a 2FA protected account, like my bank or email, I do what?

> Europe's GDPR makes the entire EU two-party consent

False. A business might be required to inform you that they are recording, but many EU member states have one-party consent laws otherwise. For instance, Finland, Sweden, Latvia, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland and Italy.

Again, you're confusing models here. "source of trust" is a technical term, and not a judgement about trustworthiness.

This is an open source game from my childhood which is somewhat similar: https://github.com/suomipelit/ultimatetapankaikki/

> I bet some of y'all blocking YT ads are paying for Spotify. That's just bad planning [..]

Because it's trivial to block youtube ads. There are no decent free Spotify alternatives or ways to get it for free, that I know of.

18? That's ridiculous. I'd understand 14, but at 18 it's not too rare to live alone and have a full time job. And even before, access to maps or Wikipedia is generally quite useful. It's the social media that's the main issue, and not the other features.

This is called Server Sent Events, SSE for short.

> The only way to prevent that would be a fully trustless "cell" structure where none of conspirators know each other, which has never been done in real life.

When properly done, such organization is almost impossible to find. I'd not be too sure about them not existing. The idea is well known, so someone must have tried it at least.

This is already occurred, in some limited from. See quicks mode [1], for instance. Also there is WebAssembly, which should be the replacement for JS. At some point a good-enough UI toolkit for it will be written, and then that could replace HTML/CSS.

I'd guess 90% dev jobs don't involve any algo knowledge more complicated than "should I pick a list or hashmap" or "which columns need indices". They involve converting business logic into code and combining it with good UI/UX.

This essentially equivalent to Roko's basilisk, which is not regarded as an useful argument

How hard can it be to keep a many-to-many mapping between account ids and skin ids, and then make a way to transfer those between accounts, potentially for some fee? Steam has had it for a decade without any issues.

The game publisher still has the final authority on whether a skin is displayed in game or not, and no blockchain is going to change that.

The reason Riot doesn't do this is that it would reduce profits. If they would make more money otherwise, they would be doing that already.

Likely the new EU Digital Markets Act, which requires interoperabilty from messaging applications.

Consider having to decide between a 20 min trip by car, or 1 hour trip by train, and the car driving has 100x serious accident probability. However, you save 40 minutes if you drive. Likely, driving doesn't take 40 min off your life expectancy. And even if it did, you save the minutes now, and not at the end of your life.

Colonizing Mars is going to be easier than solving tragedy of the commons.

Do that once, and nobody will pay the full price again. They'll just be waiting for the next discount.

Mass scale political manipulation? See Brexit, for instance.

Life has no meaning. We are all as insignificant as grains of sand on a beach. Uniqueness is a big lie that everyone wants to believe. If you enjoy watching netflix more than doing slightly-less-common experiences, you should probably do so. The point of not just passively consuming content is creating memories that can be enjoyed later as well, particularly when discussing with other people.

I've never had my ID checked by potential employer, except when the job requires security clearance. This is in europe, though.

They are likely selling all cars they can produce. Why would they sell them at cheaper price point?

SIMD intrinsics exist, although currently require nightly compiler on non-x86 targets: https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.29.0/core/arch/x86/index.html

Performance is almost identical, even the linked benchmark is quite even.

IIRC, you can purchase around 300 solved captchas per dollar

There is. Called "private session" in the settings.

The value is not in the winning part, it's in dreaming of winning. Compare that to a movie ticket, not an investment. At least before it becomes a habit. I'd guess people who buy one lottery ticket every year get much more enjoyment out of it than those who buy one every week.

I don't play either. I suppose it's a nice game if you can temporarily forget some leading zeroes.

I find it rather rare that a relatively compentent dev couldn't get approximately equal compensation working for some other company. So if offered $X for volutary severance, where $X at least N months total compensation, most devs who can get a similar job in less than N months will leave. This leaves you with least capable people, which is (usually) not what's wanted when doing layoffs. (This is of course assuming that interview performance is correlated with work performance, which is not necessarily a great assumption to do)

Limiting the one-off purchase to some multiple (maybe 100) of the monthly payment should be part of the law too.
