One excerpt:

Let’s go back. The atoms of the constituent were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the constituent, in her body, which later required a birth certificate. And the constituent awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother’s body, into the long dream, which issued a Social Security number. And the constituent was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the constituent was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the constituent was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love and, eventually, a voter registration. You are the constituent. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love. Eligible, on paper, for several things you have not asked about yet.

That’s not a citation. Of course you want to have actual research to substantiate these statements.

The ad probably looks at the IP address, sees its from Google and show a legitimate ad.

Google can easily solve this with using external IP addresses, but doesn’t. Because money.

There’s nothing to appreciate here.

I am quite an Apple fan, but this dampens my enthusiasm considerably.

How many great apps are rejected, but build by people without reach?

Okay, jello

The article is about Europe and the last time I checked, the Netherlands is in Europe.
What was the iDEAL payment option now says iDeal WERO. The Dutch are already using WERO for a couple of months now.
The DoWD owns such a large chunk of the IP space, it can very easily be a coincidence
It should work for all people and not depend on these “tricks”.
Re:Interrail: 6,379Km and 13 Countries over 7 weeks on Monday July 13, 2026 @09:40AM (#48892519)
I did Interrail when I finished studying in 1993. It was a wonderful experience. Visiting foreign countries, meeting people, experiencing crazy things. I can recommend it to everyone (especially as a young adult).

No. The (standard) deviation is 3.5.
The sites breaks scrolling on the iPad. Their engineers are probably busy fixing Windows issues.
It seems they didn’t even do any research. This is not science, it’s just an opinion.

Surprised that Smithsonian magazine makes such an awful website. Every minute, new ads are loaded, shifting the text up and down, making it hard to read.

Does the writer understand that for every developer who burns all tokens, there are many people who subscribe just to join the AI revolution, but only ask a couple of questions a day?
