The AI doesnt understand the former, only the latter.
Do you possibly mean “The AI evangelists” or something similar?
Like, I could totally understand it in the “software will also include the biases of those who wrote it” kind of way (a la Amazon’s failed attempt at automating job candidate search). If the only incentive you’re given as a programmer is “make it make money”, then yeah, your AI is going to bias towards that end.
Just couldn’t tell on first reading
You don’t need to break a system to make it broken, just never maintain it and it’ll break itself!

I mean, random NFC tags, I can understand. But, isn’t advising someone to avoid QR codes obsolete by now? It was a pretty worthwhile attack vector at one point, but nowadays most phones will ask “Do you want to <handle> <contents in full>?” before actually doing anything with it…
Although, now that I think about it, it is best practice to advise to the lowest common denominator… Sometimes I overestimate users’ ability to avoid doing stupid things…

Me too, bud. 😭
Makes me think of this clip from Camp Camp
GUYS GUYS!! If we call their characters gay, we get sick bonus art!!!
I’ll bite: Arkansas (and probably some other states that I’m less aware of)
It’s an old law from the westward expansion days which says that any establishment that sells food and/or drink is not allowed to charge for the serving of water itself. Some businesses get around this by automatically upcharging for a larger size than their “standard” drink serving size (read: anything beyond “small”), or by charging for the cup, but the vast majority still follow the spirit of the law and don’t charge for water because of the cultural momentum.
You’re still right, though. There are costs associated with acquiring and maintaining a supply of potable water, so this law effectively forces businesses to eat the cost of the water they serve to customers. However, that’s such a small percentage of a restaurant’s water use that it’s trivial to cover by other means.
Did that hole in the ground spontaneously appear of its own accord, or do you think it might be more likely that a professional was paid to do that, along with installing electrical equipment in the hole to bring the water to the surface for use?
Well water ain’t free either.
There’s probably a better way to do this, but I’ve just started using BLE Radar (F-Droid, Play Store), which can be set up to (among other things) tell you where your phone last saw a particular bluetooth address.
You don’t get the benefit of the tracking network that iPhones, and now Androids, are a part of, and it’s not built into the base system, but it’s FOSS, and your location data stays local.
Important note: zip ties (what is being discussed in the OP), and zip cuffs (cuffs that are made from similar material and tech) are very much NOT the same, and cannot be treated the same way.
I think this might be a “yes, but no” kind of thing.
Yes, these are test strips. Yes, they change color to indicate a reading. Yes, they use chemical reactions to cause that color change.
AFAIK: No, these aren’t for testing blood. No, these don’t seem to be for consumption by an electronic meter. And no, I don’t think this is what OP was asking about.
Like, there’s probably some good info, but not for this thread specifically :P
