Ideas, sure. But grammar and formatting are typically completely different jobs like editing and typesetting. If you're going the indie route and self publishing, you might not be able to afford to hire someone else to do that work.

Those also happen to be things that LLMs are actually good at. They're (mostly) not creative tasks and instead just follow a set of rules.

We're either paying for it though our job, out of pocket, or through taxes. It's not free. I'd much rather have it come out of taxes to reduce the middle men just profiteering from our system.

It's been a while since I used Plex, but is it really that much less complicated than Jellyfin? When I switched, it seemed like roughly the same amount of complication, but that was a long time ago.

I regret not holding on to them until could cash 3 or 4 of them simultaneously, just to see how that would play out.

I suspect poorly for you. They should be rejected immediately, but if they go through, they'll eventually be reversed, and you may be investigated for fraud. Your accounts could be closed, and possibly (though unlikely) you could also be arrested.

What do passkeys allow someone to track that a password login wouldn't?

Is that hell caused by the Cuban government or the American sanctions?

It's probably both, but from my perspective as an outsider, the American sanctions seem to be doing a lot more damage.

I don't think that number is correct. Their source does say "monthly" in a few places (though notably, not next to the actual figures) but I think that's the daily average. Other sources [1] [2] also yield numbers closer to 6.6 kWh/day.

So it won't need 100 m^2 of solar panels per household; it'll only need about 3-4 m^2 of solar, which is also in line with what a residential rooftop installation would look like.

Wait... Can we use this somehow to get Smith (and probably Ford) to open up the constitution and make healthcare a federal responsibility?

Gotcha. That was my misunderstanding then. I've seen people talk about something similar: a government issued "id" (potentially tied to your driver's license or whatever) that digitally identifies that the holder is of a certain age, but nothing more. That's what I thought you were proposing here as well.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your idea, but it also seems unnecessary, and makes it easier for businesses to track you - not harder. If the purpose isn't to obfuscate information, they can just look at a driver's license and see their birth date and that the picture matches the person using it. It also doesn't really have anything to do with the subject of the post (online age verification).

Can you explain how I'd use my smartcard to verify my age on a website? Does everyone need to buy a card reader for their computer?

That has the same issue as a lot of privacy-protecting age verification services, which is that there's never actually a moment when someone verifies that you are you.

Like, if someone sold their key and password to a few people, it would still work everywhere and there would be no obvious reason for the key to be revoked. All it takes is one poorly implemented (or malicious) website to capture everyone's keys and passwords, and then they sell them to kids.

I don't think there's a way to avoid that issue. You can either implement privacy or verifiability, but not both, and governments are going to trend towards verifiability.

so he wanted to lock in four years

Five years. Provincial governments (at least Ontario) have a five year term.
