That should be: "without revealing your identity to the site requesting your verified age". And hopefully it will also be without revealing the website you're visiting to the age verification provider. Both requirements can be fulfilled, and hopefully this system will employ such a scheme.

If you're going to enforce age restrictions, this is the way to do it, preserving anonymity. It beats 3rd party age verification services like the ones that porn sites used to use. They needed your credit card, name and address, and the age verification provider could see which sites you were visiting.

That seems pretty good. The renovation of the historical Dutch parliament building (Binnenhof) was started in 2021 and was to be finished this year. Now they are projecting 2031. Budgeted at €450 million, we're now looking at €2.7 billion. That's for a renovation, not a new building.

No, they are buying the spectrum.

Or the lowest bidder. I would rather have one of those bitchen Chinese EVs than his shitty Mustang E for the money anyway. Protectionism is wrong. 1 Million auto-workers should not be prioritized over 330 million American consumers who are having their options limited. If there is a regulatory requirement like smog or safety systems missing, fine. But regulations MUST apply to all equally.

Do you not do the classic date night: dinner and a movie?

Sure...

But these days its getting harder and harder to get out on a date without the wife finding out...

But I have no idea why people pay that much money and sit through the advertising just to watch a derivative summer comedy.

....to veg out and enjoy someone else's air conditioning during the extreme heat of the summer....?

These are the same people that insist "assault rifles" must be banned, despite being unable to define them beyond "they're scary".

Well, er...let's see...they're black!! And uh....when you pull the trigger, they go "PEW"....and uh....well uh...

Right?

Being in the firearms business without an FFL will make you a human doing illegal things. Even if you do it with a file and hand-crank drill.

Not federally.

It has always been legal in the US to make your own firearms for PERSONAL use.

You can make all the firearms you want, but, you cannot sell them, nor give them away....no serial number required, etc.

This has been the long standing right all US citizens have enjoyed since the country began.

It's only recently where companies made this a bit easier to do that some states started freaking out.

Or will they just ME ALSO what SpaceX already has achieved with global high-speed low-latency bandwidth?

"Recruit your friends, grab your 15 year old camcorder, edit in Sony/Magix Vegas, do the CGI stuff in whatever you can find"!

A home user these days has a LOT of resources/tools that will allow some great content to be made.

There are tools that only a few years ago were ONLY in the reaches of the $$$ corporations.

You can buy quality cameras for $2K or so range...you have tools like Davinci Resolve that actually has a FREE version that will do 99% of what a young filmmaker would need to do with reference to editing, VFX, Sound and color correction/grading.

RODE and DJI and others make perfectly usable mic systems the average user can use to capture good sound.

And with the AI tools coming on board....you can do some really special stuff, not full CGI, but I've seen transitions clips done with AI that had my jaw drop....

And no this will not put you in the poor house....yes you have to invest ''some" into equipment, but the main resource you need these days....is sweat equity, imagination and determination to learn how to use the tools at your disposal.

Nobody expects you to put out Raiders of the Lost Ark on your first attempt....but hey, good story writing and presentation go a LONG way, hell, just look back a couple decades ago and longer to see that that is actually what carried movies since the inception of the art form.

Not quite the same thing. Yes, movies have been selling us on a message or provide social commentary for ages. Sometimes with the message subtly embedded in the movie, sometimes the movie was the message. And they've done the race or gender swap thing before as well: tell a familiar story from a different perspective.

But in most cases, the old writers and directors stuck to their artistic integrity, putting the movie first rather than the message. That has changed. In "woke" productions (for lack of a better word), artistic integrity takes a back seat. Plot, dialogue, casting are affected in order to serve "the message", even when it detracts from the production's quality, as it often does. It's not every production, and there's certainly no reason to start foaming at the mouth whenever they cast a lady for a part originally written for a guy or whatever... but it does happen.

Management may be foolish, but that would mean those who went another way would more likely succeed. There is a sort of evolutionary survival of the fittest in the business world and it works (See: Sears, Nokia, Blackberry, Lehman Brothers, etc). If AI did not work, those who were quick to adopt it will be soon to fall. On the other hand, if it does work, those who believe it doesnt will soon be replaced by those who do. Market forces are beholden to no one.

So the current production version of Mark Zuckerberg is building a newer version with a more intuitive human interface, I get it.

Yeah. Whose sense of morality or spirituality will the software be tuned to? Mine, or yours or those of the Roman church? There's millions of people who find it immoral to eat onions

Ok, any religion that says God says you cannot eat this or that food...is immediately disqualified....

I cannot believe God made pork....some of the world's BEST food (bacon, smoked BBQ, etc)...and then said "You can't eat this".

Sorry I don't buy it.

Onion? Seriously...?

Please, what religions says you can't eat onions? If they were right I'd be dead and in hell by end of breakfast most days.
