Why not just avoid all this government involvement and just use Facebook as an OAUTH provider. I don't imagine there's anyone under 40 with a facebook account.

Their service fee will be 15% but I imagine there will then be other add-ons - a credit surcharge, ticket "insurance", a "convenience adder", a "seat wear premium", "exchange rate guarantee" - when it's all added up I imagine the total fees, surcharges, compulsary insurances and other things that are fees but not "fees" will dwarf the "service fee".

It's only radiation resistant to 3.6 Roentgen according to our measurements though

millions of programmer hours, decades of research, terrawatt-hours of energy consumed, petabytes of information pilfered. And the way to rate the mood of the user is a regex ?

For the goat blood to work though, you get dropped off in the wilderness with only a water pot and a fire starter.

You have to track the goat through the bush for weeks, and when you find it, run it down and catch it, wrestle it to death, manually haul it back to camp and process it.

When they were introducing the chromebooks in the US it was a mess of assertions not backed by any facts I could discern, and competing motivations, I suspect the biggest among them was the idea that if the kids submitted all their work digitally it would be less of a chore to grade, and that kids could be more heavily tested and auto-graded if all the tests were computer-based.

All the benefits seemed to go to the teachers, administrators, and polititians, with little benefit to the students.

With AI, I suppose the kids can be freed from their data entry tasks and their papers can be scanned and the AI can still grade them - a win-win perhaps

All I really need is a web browser that need not retain history, a way to make occasional voice calls (even that could be via the web), and an app that provides notifications that there is something I should pay attention to, maybe just a bell noise and a counter of uncollected notifications or some limited amount of metadata like a name for the sender.

MFA and the clock features are the only other apps I typically use and they can be done in other ways

Some way to play music offline would be nice

They should persuade a west coast state to allow their import and sale without involving dealerships. And optimise their product for maintainability by independent mechanics.

bypassing the dealerships alone will make them a country wide favorite even if you have to fly to the west coast and drive it home yourself

I'm waiting for the tech that supports having two people look at the same price tag simultaneously and see two different prices.

Not to mention the tech that freezes the price when you take the item from the shelf so it doesn't change on the way to the register.

Fire you ? But we just spent $2.3bn educating you

if human caused climate change isn't real, why is it necessary to provide immunity ?

So how does this work do you launch a missile and bet against it working so you can collect enough to have another go ?

The last movie I went to in India had an intermission and people selling sodas and candy in the theatre, part of the business model. It wasn't a particularly long movie. They also showed the censor certificate at the start of the movie. lots of small differences.

Have they not also increased energy derived from wind/solar etc. over that time period ?

That's because I exclusively speak either Chichewa or Hiri Motu you insensitive clod
