Exactly. Add in tip + tax and you're not leaving without spending ~$40 for two cocktails and ~$60 for 3 cocktails. Many, if not most, people sit at bars doom-scrolling on their phone and generally are anti-social. It's just not a fun, enjoyable experience most of the time.

I remember it fondly. My family had a lower-end 486 and it couldn't run a lot of games but it ran Yoda Stories great! Loved that game as a kid. LucasArts really was a gem (loved Grim Fandango, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Full Throttle, etc.).

WestLaw and Lexis Nexis provide this for legal search, but quite frankly, these services are subpar. It's amazing that these two companies rake in hundreds of millions but they are both slower than Google, Bing, Yandex, or any LLM service (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) while scouring a universe of text that is orders of magnitude smaller. The user experience is also terrible (you have to login and specify a client each and every time you attempt to use the service and both services log you out after a short -- in my opinion -- period of inactivity, creating friction and needless annoyance to the user). There's an opportunity there.

Now THIS is the sort of nihilistic outlook that keeps me coming back for a hit of HN.

Federal employees are not permitted to strike. See 5 USC § 7311.

So commoditize the complement.

AOE2 is the pinnacle of the RTS genre. With the Definitive Edition released in 2019, it's still extremely popular today. In my opinion, no RTS title has surpassed AOE2 before or since in terms of gameplay (and, in my subjective opinion, graphics -- I LOVE the detailed pixel graphics much more than polygons).

Agree with this. An insurance requirement would solve this problem. It would also incentivize robust security audits by the insurance companies and the data collectors.

Do T-Mobile and Sprint next. T-Mobile just announced it's jacking rates up. It's a direct result of the merger.

Big news for Ted Williams

Yes, if your information is stored with a third-party, it can be subject to disclosure with a lawful subpoena.

Windows 11 is awful. It ruined the calendar view on the taskbar, which is a huge pet peeve for me.

We have a say in how the government spends our tax dollars? This is news to me. I would prefer that much less be spent on war and military, among other things.

We have an under-incarceration problem. See the recent results from El Salvador. I don't lose a second of sleep over the cruel treatment of murderers and violent criminals.

Yes, I remember Dr. Sbaitso very, very well. I spent many hours with it as a kid and thought it was tons of fun. To be frank, Dr. Sbaitso is why I was underwhelmed when chatbots were hyped in the early 2010s. I couldn't understand why anyone would be excited about 90s tech.
