Exactly.

Are we meant to associate it with "hot air" marketing or what else?

Somehow, someone still lost $500k against that bet. Not that kind of 'obvious' then.

It's an error in the site's CSS. CSS has way better methods, like splitting words correctly depending on the language and hyphenating it.

Although I can never remember the correct incantation, should be easy for LLMs.

All this because some guys installed the letters wrong?

Is this some kind of joke, or is the author really lost in some conspiracy-level detail tracking, hunting for "hidden signals"?

I'd be happy if I was able to use Claude Code at all

VSCode extension, "Please log in"

I authorize it, it creates an API key, callback. "Hello Claude, this is a test." "Please log in."

So yeah... priorities?

Those turnstiles were inefficient (slowed legitimate users down), but not security theater (they really blocked unauthorized access.)

They A/B test titles. You can see it in the URL, where the recessive title often lives on. They may also use different titles for print/digital.

Google/Apple already know where you and your mistress live. In case you pay for any service, they've got your identity too. Ever had a single shipment confirmation to your address come to your mail? They know who you are.

The hardware providers already have the information. You only need to make them reveal it to 3rd parties.

All adults proof their identify multiple times per month: Every time they access digital health records, or when they use any electronic payment.

Just make Google/Apple reveal part of that data (age > x years) to websites and apps.

Boom, done. Privacy guarded. Easy.

The problem is obvious: People spend much more attention on cat videos from strangers than on their own friends' posts. Ads turn this attention into money.

It's about attention. You can check the schedule without thinking about messages, likes, or the news.

My solution is based on 12.48 inch Magic Ink Calendar:

A 12.48 Waveshare eink display costs $175. Sadly haven't gotten it to work with the Raspi Zero and therefore can't use it battery-powered. Got an ugly cord right now. Running power to the right place through the walls is definitely dedication!

From the viewpoint of a security clearance, the employee is the enemy.

That's the point though. The testers wouldn't actually abuse their victims without the conviction of doing something righteous. Or they would, accidentally or intentionally, spill the secrets.

But if you make even the instruction material lie, then there is nothing that could be leaked and "expose" the system.
