When credit cards and bank accounts are given to children, a parent signature is required. If phones and ISP's are paid for through such venues, then they are automatically age-checked. If a parent is allowing a child to use a device the parent pays for, they should be required to opt in the device to allow the child to access mature material.

Minor grammar fix: "the low-hanging-fruit of solid state electronics R&D has dried up."

I don't believe it's because of the tax-breaks, for they still exist, but that the low-hanging-fruit of solid state electronics R&D have dried up. Software has replaced hardware for many functions of machines, and software needs less "big lab" R&D since it can be done in pajamas. Corporate hardware labs just stopped being able to pay their way.

If say quantum computing started spewing innovations, a similar "gold rush" of R&D may appear again. This is not saying "everything has been invented already", but rather that technology doesn't progress at a steady pace. The AI boom (bubble?) has produced AI labs, but I doubt its lab boom will last as long as the solid state boom.

Google moving the deadline up and saying "because our own quantum tech is progressing faster than we thought"* sounds like using one of their branches to spin another.

It could be done in a way that Apple does not know the key and is technologically unable to comply. But for such a low stakes system they would obviously never go through the trouble as it would cause more user friction than it's worth.

(You could have a privacy email be created as a totally unique auth key that's just stored offline on a User's apple computers and synced via an encrypted storage system).

Of course Apple could still associate source IPs for logins between multiple accounts.

so will Mila Mozilla.

What about the Strait of Hormoooz?

What, you give male aliens a mulligan?

Regulators back then were understood to be particular type of highly accurate clock that was used as a baseline for time keeping: other clocks were set and updated based on the Regulator. The root word was also contemporaneously used in a medical context; e.g. regular bowel movements, regular heart beat. Later, it was applied to devices which control gas pressure.

Does that mean the government, (or the king, since the root of regular is Rex from Latin) had authority over those clocks, or was particularly concerned with his subjects intestinal health, or the pressure of their gas? Of course not.

I feel like a good idea for this sort of thing if it's going to be deployed is include the applicant in the loop.

"Hi, your application will be rejected because:
* You list your qualifications as an electrician, not a medical expert.

If this anything is in error and you want to continue with your submission, please explain the error below and click "Contest" attesting that you believe this to be in error and someone will be sure to review more carefully."

Even without AI it would be nice for job application forms to let applications know that they're just going to get tossed automatically regardless of the automated system. In fact it should be against the law to discard applications automatically without allowing an application to review the criteria by which they were automatically rejected regardless of it being algorithmic or fuzzy AI.

It's a Fonzi Scheme: Ayyy Aiiii!

Such meteorites tend to be sterilized via thousands of years drifting in space and re-entry heat. We don't know really know if such is comparable to a direct surface sample.

I don't miss a signal typo.
