You could probably shoot down 80% or maybe even 90%. But if the enemy launches a few hundred missiles at the same time then some might make it.

"I was just trolling" - a 12 year old after he realizes he just said something stupid.

You assume that crypto is some "honest" and "for the people" currency system because its all documented in the blockchain, when in reality it is gamed by big banks, investors and scammers just like other financial tool where a lot of money is involved and no or insufficiant regulations are in place. If Elon tweets "you can no longer buy tesla withy bitcoin", your savings will loose a lot of value over night.

And you give away the press for free, but the ink will cost a fortune!

Dont want to be that guy, but the platic softeners inside the tape will most likely evalporate, causing the tape to break up und cruble to dust as soon as you try to play it. The magnetic orientation of the bits will also degarde. Manufacturers give an expected shelf life of 30 years for any magnetic storage medium.

It's either AI, or someone who broke his ankles for this photoshot...

Search should be social, not commercial.

this would be gamed by companies in the same way social media is used to advertise businesses.

I dont want to mention a name here, but it's the brand that has an office here ...

A federated plattform without capital would never get as big, because they dont have the resources to attract more customers via offline ads, apps and better product development.

Just being the best or fairest platform is not enough to be successful.

It would be worth more than that to people who want to get him elected, and he probably has friends in russia who are willing to spend much more than that on campaign advertising on his behalf.

There is a dodgy car rental brand in australia, nz, usa and canada that i had used, and exclusively markets to overseas tourists, but not locals - presumably because locals would know that they should not rent a car that failed the technical inspection and is illegal to drive, which to the surprise of nobody happens a lot with cheap, 20 year old rental cars. It's very hard to find organic customer reviews of the company, because their own SEO drowns out any authentic customer voices:

• Their links come from "paid blog posts" (they pay the blogger to write some fluff piece) in private travel blogs, advertising banners, forum posts and articles on big travel sites like trip advisor
• Their own "travel tips for #country#" websites which offers the same info as other tourist sites, but where they exclusively mention their own business. They have a whole network of their own sites, each for a different country they opperate in, a different language for the customer nationality they are targeting and the age group/price level they want to serve
• social media channels of course
• In forum posts where the company is mentioned in a bad way, some new account pops up defending the company, or the thread is deleted soon afterwards.
• Same with online reviews on google maps, where the company sits at a 4.5 score, but some bad reviews about deposits not being paid out after the car was returned have magically disappeared.

tl;dr: the internet is all ads!

You know what really helps for privacy? Adblockers.

Could be bot responses to farm karma.

Once the account is a bit older and has enough karma points, it will be either sold, post spam, or Post/comment on an product or topic the owner wants to push, or down vote opposing opinions.

Wouldn't that increase the average IQ in both States?

Well clearly someone who is colorblind...

They would be abused by spam bots in an instant, even before you could write your own "welcome to my guestbook" post.

I would imagine that people in the market for an EV would have bought it already last december, before the funding was cancelled.

Things to add to your product when you want to look hip and trendy, but dont have any real ideas how to make your product better:

• 1990s: visitor counter
• 1995: Popups
• 2000s: flash intros
• 2005: stock photography
• 2010: local weather widget
• 2015: share to social media widgets
• 2020: fullsize 4k background stock videos
• 2024: AI assistant

Unfortunately none. Developing a rendering engine that can handle css, html, javascript, while also rendering a website in the exact same way as Chrome and Firefox is a huge tasks, and not something a hobby programmer can whack out in a few weeks. Thats the reason why even Microsoft abandoned their own rendering engine, because things did always look and work different in IE.

Was working for a shitty marketing agency at some point. Asked how they tested for bugs. Answer: "we don't make bugs!".

Narrator: they did, and in large numbers.
