That's why I start with "are you a human or a robot", then "what's your favorite color"

I've been reading on the topic recently and that is referred to as "criminal trespass". I want to put up signs that say "yes trespassing"

Don't forget to track if the rooks or kings have moved, for castling eligibility. And what the previous move was for en passant. And the full game history back to the most recent capture for draw by repetition.

We have that law in Maine. It's wonderful. I don't see why it would be ok at the state level but not the federal.

Yes, humans make mistakes, and we improve by creating strong disincentives for mistakes.

Bluetooth is a running joke around our house. When I'm talking on the phone and my girlfriend gets in the car and suddenly my phone call gets teleported to the car that I'm not in. When we go to watch a movie and the sound decides to come out of the projector instead of the speaker system. When I want to listen to a podcast outside and it start coming out of the speaks in the basement. Just give me a wire.

So you can't charge your phone and listen to audio at the same time. That sentence would sound crazy 10 years ago.

It's not a setting you'd "see", it's a secret you'd find on the last page of that manual you threw out.

Yep, we had a similar use-case. I remember the error message pointed to a help page which pointed to an article about this patent.

I believe I ran into this issue a few years ago and discovered the patent case when trying to work around. The xml file format allowed for arbitrary properties to be added (as xml does), and we were trying to embed metadata in word files. But when MS Word opened a file with anything extra in it it gave a warning like "this file has extra stuff in it" and it automatically removed anything that wasn't explicitly expected.

I just checked out otta.com, and started their "quiz". Third question: "where would you like to work?" and only lists major cities, nothing in my state. As if to say "if you want a job, move or go remote". I've gotten this same message from many channels.

Since we already have computers this seems very attractive. Thank you for the suggestion, I'm pursuing it.

Audio ads playing at gas pumps is now the only factor that determines which gas station I go to.
