Under the regulations, which are set to take effect on Oct. 10, platforms will have to label political ads, disclosing who paid for them, and what campaign, referendum or legislative process they’re connected to

Oh yeah they sound really unworkable, who could possibly expect meta to take this very basic information from their advertisers and then display it in a small text box.

Of course not seeing the ads is even better so I don't think anyone will complain.

Well that's where it gets muddy. Technically it's only illegal to circumvent an age verification check if you're subsequently found to be underage, the actual circumventing of the check isn't the illegal part, it was buying the product underage.

There's a whole country of them.

I would suspect the number of women misusing it is in the minority and the majority use it appropriately.

Well just look at Facebook groups that are dedicated to the same sort of thing and see how catty they get. You know the types that decide that just because a man they have never seen before is in the neighbourhood he's clearly up to no good when he's probably just delivering parcels.

Anyway it doesn't matter if 90% were legitimate and 10% not. They are still defaming people, with no opportunity for those people to correct the record. Anyway I am a much more cynical person, mostly through experience of working in customer service, and I think it's probably more like 50/50.

They found someone to update the PHP version to one released this decade.

Ed Davey, I can't imagine Bad Enoch doing anything and Labour were the ones to implement this.

How does having my fingerprint prove my age.

The issue is, at some point, they have to connect your "digital you" to your self as a real person, after that they can track you, keep tabs on you. If that data was ever stolen, or a corrupt government rose to power, you're really screwed.

I don't know what planets he's on but I still have all my DVDs if I choose to stream stuff as well that's my choice but is all the streaming services went down I've still got all my Star Trek shows.

Anyway what's he talking about steam exists and is wildly popular so that movement has already happened. What they're trying to push is live service games.

Well have they considered making something I have any interest in buying? I appreciate this is a personality defect of mine where I don't just blindly purchase things, but because I'm apparently morally reprehensible, I have no intention of changing, so they're going to have to make the effort instead.

If we end up with Star wars robots that would be quite fun actually. They're basically more comedic than they are dangerous.

I'm actually surprised he hasn't started working on Fusion since that's similarly always just a few years away. It has been since the 1960s.

It's also a device that is demonstrably better without AI. So you're essentially saying that they would be better as script driven assembly arms.

I feel like if you're even a contender you probably know. It's a condiment, but I guarantee there's someone out there who eats it like the main meals.

What's Pangaea got to do with this?

They don't need to. AAA developers will start backing down on their own because they don't want to risk the confrontation.

Great great so what's the bloody point in itch now then?

Well you'd have to strip out most of the history books then, oh and anything to do with social science, also get rid of all of the biology textbooks because they explain where babies come from and conservatives don't like that sort of thing.

Basically it's just going to be sports statistics and gun manuals. There probably isn't enough information in there to build an AI, as you need quite a broad base of input for it to work.

So what you're saying is only the right kind of people should be allowed to vote?

I do think though that there should be some sort of basic test to prove that you actually understand the various policies an administration is pushing, not at a deep level but just the most basic surface level that you could get from a 10-minute Google search or by watching a single video. Just prove that you actually know what you're voting for because otherwise why even vote?

If it's your home why can't you just have a camera or motion sensor. Rather than trying to adapt something that isn't designed for the purpose.

The resulting image must just basically look like a shadow, I can't imagine that they're going to get much internal detail with Wi-Fi considering that my router's signal practically gets blocked by a piece of cardboard.

This research essentially amounts to, humans can be individually identified with nothing more than low quality x-rays. Well yeah, so what, you can also use visible light and in any situation where you're going to use Wi-Fi to detect someone, it's got to be easier to buy a cheap CCTV camera.
