Correct. Propeller based systems have a record of 12km. Most drones and other propeller based vertical lift craft have a limit closer to around 6km. Weather balloons can go as high as 30km.

Because browsers are expected to be whole self contained isolated operating systems. The modern web is complicated. There's a reason you can literally run Windows 95 in your browser. https://www.pcjs.org/blog/2015...

Addicts will work around the ban. This generation is already lost. The ban helps start a new generation of addicts, the kind who haven't yet been fed algorithmically designed addiction.

Hey, here's an idea, I've got this awesome new site, you'll love it! All you need to do is jump through a whole lot of hoops to get to it. You in? If so I'll send you the 10 step instructions!

Did you just say "social media" and "socialising" in the same idea? Do you actually have a fucking clue what is being discussed? Virtually no one socialises on social media. Kids aren't sending each other TikToks, or posting on each other's Facebook. Get a fucking clue.

No you can't. While there's no absolute right to free speech in Australia, there is an absolute right to protecting speech related to any religion. And precisely zero people have been imprisoned for "criticizing Islam". Please leave bullshit for the cows.

Correct, your only mistake is thinking that encryption has any role to play in this. That is what this entire case is about. A contractual screw up to protect data. That applies whether you hand them an encrypted drive or a bunch of plain text rubbish.

We thankyou for your thoughtful and detailed rebuttal. Your value to the discussion and society as a whole has been noted.

In a place where smoking is prevalent because our government is doing nothing to stop it. Unlike in say ... Australia where teenage smoking is now in the sub 5% range which is an insane decline compared to when I went to school there.

Or we could look to the numbers in the previous story on this which said 30% stopped. The numbers vary depending on method of recording. The reality is some people have stopped. Success.

Not really. One doesn't need to have something fully tested to effectively see how the law is applied. Lack of a ruling, lack of having cases thrown out, lack of action, all effectively determine how the law works as it stands.

Right now what you interpret is irrelevant. The fact is that the Flock issue is just the latest in a string of similar cases. As such there's no reason to believe that anyone is going to challenge it this time either.

Context matters far more than words. It is the reason why everyone knew what they were talking about except for you. Focus less on words, and more on context. It will help you become a far better communicator.

Now the real question: If the article didn't exist, where will Google get it's summary from?

I get your complaint, but you should really consider the end game here.

This has been a solved problem for a long time with quite often the correct answer being highlighted or original posts updated. But that's beside the point. If you trust the AI answer, you're not going to click an article or a forum link regardless of whether they show ads or highlight a solution.

Though sometimes you do need to dig deeper. Google's AI never answered WHICH glue to use to keep cheese from sliding off a pizza, you'll need to actually read the reddit post for that.

There's a double WTF here. You could do this already. Just screenshot google earth and feed it into Nano Banana and do what you want. Why did this need to be a feature in Google Earth itself. Even people who aren't competent in AI could do this already.

Despite being poorly implemented by platforms nearly 20% of kids have stopped, and so soon after the laws were enacted? This seems to have worked better than expected. A few fines in the direction of Facebook and Google will improve these numbers further.

Then you just need to wait. When smoking was banned for under 18s the day after they still smoked as well. These days smoking is rare. The current generation is a lost cause, they'll VPN their phone addicted brains to get their daily fix of TikTok if they need to (my niece in Australia is the type of person who would watch two twitch streams in parallel and then have a mild panic when someone asks her to put the phone away at the dinner table, it's insane).

The next generation now stands a chance. People are less likely to join social media as a new customer if they need to jump through hoops to do so.
