This seems like the kind of mystery for which the MythBusters would’ve built a custom rig to test out

Apple should just pull out of the EU rather than comply. The regulations behind this change are well-intentioned, but seem so arbitrary. Why would e.g. Apple have to open up the platform, but not a game console like the Switch or PS5? What about a washing machine manufacturer? Should they have...

After extracting the iron, the remaining red mud can then be sold as a homeopathic remedy for anemia. That should solve the cost issue.

The player must’ve been over-encumbered

Maybe I’m missing something, but how would these changes generate any revenue for the state when the money would be held as unclaimed property and would only be spendable by its individual owners? Or is “the state” referring to the people of the state?

Forget supersonic flight, I just want an airline with a staff of anesthesiologists on board every flight. That way it can be as cramped and uncomfortable as possible, just wake me when we get there. The only real problem would be the price, at least in the US. I shudder to think of the kind of...

Google has a well-earned reputation for shutting down projects earlier than expected, so there’s some irony in the fact that one of the very few projects that they instead decided to extend is…the shutting down of a project. They’re nothing if not consistent.

What’s wrong with these people? I have Hulu (without ads), and I’m planning to cancel since there’s almost never anything worth watching, not to mention that its recommendations are almost comically bad. I feel like a fool paying for that as it is, I can’t imagine paying for that and having ads.

His case is hopeless anyway, he should’ve just used the “yes, I did it, but anyone who buys crypto is being scammed anyway” argument. At least he might’ve been able to get the jury to nullify that way.

You gotta admire the absurdity of a company like Google, whose primary business is the invasion of everyone’s privacy, being given “unprecedented” privacy in a trial which could affect their ability to continue invading everyone’s privacy

Why would you name your company “Analygence”?

This was already the case irrespective of the CSAM issue.

If only it had hit 100%. Humanity is wasted on the humans.

I’m more impressed by Lenovo sending us back to 2010 with their time travel tech

It’s fitting, because Python is the cancer of the software development world. Cancer+Cancer, a combination only Microsoft could deliver.

I’d like to understand why the researchers found this even “somewhat” surprising. Most people on either side mindlessly swallow whatever they’re fed. An interesting follow up experiment would be to have 3 or more people in a conversation, with all but one of them holding the same viewpoint, but...

I cannot fathom why anyone would subject oneself to such horrors.

Anything that deals a blow against all of this AI/machine learning bullshit can only benefit society. So, naturally, we’ll do the complete opposite.

On the subject of layout issues, I’m getting real sick and tired of barely being able to browse Ars on iOS anymore since every page seems to be covered by an invisible layer that opens an ad link anytime you try tapping anywhere in the page. I wonder if this is a bug or just an underhanded...
