Beats the current state of owning nothing and not being happy.

Was that an N scale train?

Smaller than N.

It's closer to a cousin you used to be close with despite some moral failings, but who has now has a substance abuse problem and is lashing out at family and friends.

Not an enemy, just a danger.

I'm relaying a poll of Canadians, their word choice, not mine

"plurality" would have been accurate over "half" on my part

Eh, that's pretty misleading: in that poll, Canadians weren't asked for an adjective to describe America, they were given a list of three options “Ally/Neutral/Enemy”.

I don't think that's that.

Last time I went to a club and the place just stank of piss, poo and sweat. This was at so called world class clubbing venue in London.

Then the prices. Nobody can afford that.

Then people don't fancy drinking anymore and if you prefer weed, then likely it will get confiscated and you get kicked out.

If google can't provide an ad-free product, they shouldn't be selling an ad-free product.

This opens a huge can of worms.

Dash cams would effectively become illegal.

Someone just wanting to record themselves and some friends doing something would need to ask explicit permission from everyone in the background.

It's just not a tenable option.

Perhaps one should look at the laws in place in the regions of the world where this is already true to see examples of how these worms can be handled.

What does that even mean? You have to opt in to film?

If you meant to say "to being filmed", how do you implement that? People have been filming crowds since the 1950s; "Candid Camera" famously made covert filming mainstream.

"Should be" is a dream of the Good Ship Lollipop. Here IRL, laws and regulations are the only thing that will discourage it.

You can't do it with technology alone (or really at all). It has to be the law that does this.

Yes, laws and regulations are how you would make something opt-in. I don't see the problem, but thanks for the downvote I guess?

CRT monitors up to 1600×1200 were available and 1280×1024 was very common.

I used to have a ViewSonic PC CRT that went up to 2048x1536. Sadly my family didn't realize the worth and tossed it out along with a bunch of other CRTs many years ago. In hindsight we should've tested them all and kept the nicest ones.

…but super-polynomial.

Like in the song!

When's the coming age of crypto-anarchy?

Not sure! It sounded more imminent back in 2000 when I heard Eric Hughes perform the song.

Thanks for sharing, that brightened my day

Several games in their library are actually just game updater/launcher binaries, which manage their associated game assets and binaries externally.

Did you post this on the wrong link? The first image is literally just a photo of a part, you can look up the part number.
