Why are you puzzled? "Doesn't work with rigid surfaces" shows it working with a non rigid surface.
Of course what the article says is a true system didn't work with a rigid surface, but they came up with something close.
I don't think that follows at all. If a business is on the area and successful, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is the most successful business that could be there.
"or buy something nice for themselves" like spending an evening playing a game with friends?
Of you are playing against strangers, it isn't on you what someone else did with their money. As for you, you works only play with money you are willing to lose.
Of course poker isn't for everyone.
The claim is the old machines had issues with detecting and on the ground.
First time I went through Heathrow after the incident. You had to take your shoes off and went to a separate machine. The shoes were scanned then you walked back... Plenty of time to put something back on the shoe.
Presumably what has changed is the equipment. The old equipment has trouble identifying things closer to the ground. I world assume the newer scanners do a better job of scanning things close to the ground. Of course the new scanners are several years old. So what has changed since then?
The reality is none of this does anything.
This was in another country but I recently had some thin wire in my carry on (it was heavy) that want allowed. But my power cords for my laptop was allowed. Alrighty then
Why do you think the platform is a net negative?
You claim it is a net negative for humanity. Yet most how tos are in you tube. Plus there are tons of learning materials. Seems like a positive to me.
Creativity? Seems like there is a lot of creative content as well. So I'm not sure why you think that is also a negative.
Yes it sucks when the framework wants to make money. But the framework is expensive. Now maybe more needs to go to the content creates. But the underlying framework deserves to make money as well.
So you think you have a lower homicide rate because you can procedure death threats? Is there really a correlation? That is how often did someone follow-up on a death threat? And how much does arresting people who threaten, reduce homicide? It is illegal to send death threats in the US as well
I'm not sure what you argument is here. But I world rather have inexpensive things that improve lives. There isn't a huge market for expensive things that improve lives. It are you trying to say you want rich people to spend their money trying to build things to improve lives? Some do. Why do you think we have star link, for example
If it is a legal loophole then it isn't criminal. This comment just doesn't make sense. It signs like you are saying "I wish we had criminal liability when a corporation gains power."
I personally think copyright tend are to long. But at the moment it is essentially death plus 70 years, which means Picasso's work will enjoy another 17 years of protection, unless they were works for hire.
As far as a watermark I'm guessing that works be between the new artist and the original artist/estate
Even consuming water can be deadly. Almost anytime can be consumed in moderation. And yes the amount of water you can consume safely is fairly high, there is a limit. Edit: I'm referring to clean water.
I also hate having to carry a brief case of money around.
Seriously though while the purchase protection is nice, so is the ability to cancel a lost or stolen card. And if course the cats is slightly smaller than one million dollar bills
