Finally someone talks about Chat Control. It is shocking how little media coverage such a dangerous law gets.

"surge pricing" my arse. changing the price of water in a heat wave is price gouging. literally criminal.

[InfernosReaper]

Considering the only way to enforce not-sharing illegal material involves invading the personal information of individuals and privileged information of companies, that's a bit too intrusive for anyone's good and can be a huge backdoor issue for security in general

Meanwhile, those who regularly deal in such things will work around it one way or another, as always. They always do

If there's one technology I'd love for everyone to hate it to extinction, it's surge pricing. I love getting punished for going to the grocery store at the only time I'm available

Not to mention the biggest problem of chat control: It doesn't even target criminals, as anyone with a brain can encrypt illegal stuff themself before sending it over a messenger.

Spotify doesn't intend to actually sell the basic plan, it's just there to make premium look more appealing. It's called price anchoring and you'll notice it anytime there are 2 or more variations of the same product/service, like McD's meal sizes, Starbucks cup sizes, popcorn sizes etc. The lesser option acts as an "anchor" point to make the expensive option look like a relatively better deal. Most companies do this because it's so effective. Our brains are terrible at judging absolute value.

Bro... that digital price label combined with an AI that can track you thought the store, compare a years worth of previous purchases, combined with the ability to buy search data from other places. They could change the price for each shopper as they go by! "This customer has alcoholism and perpetually buys cheap vodka twice a week. Lets charge a few cents more for him and call it a 'we know you very much like this product. Therefore, we keep extra on stock as a premium personalized convenience experience. So we charge a bit more for that service'. When in actuality the store carries the same stock they always had. Like how streaming prices change alot depending on the region a subscriber is in

That grocery store scam is insane. It warrants a hunger strike.

Never fall for "think of the children"

Who keeps trying to lobby for governments to scan all of our messages???
Is it the messaging services themselves?

The idea of prices changing at a store in real time sounds like a nightmare.
Nothing has ever been better using surge pricing, and putting it on basic needs like a grocery stores or anything else like that is just inhuman. But it just feels like yet another symptom of a declining if not absolutely collapsing society.

Note to writers: Legislatures *pass* legislation, Governors *sign* legislation.

Interesting. Here in the Netherlands we have used these electronic price tags for at least two years now. The changing in prices are not that bad. It is indeed nice that if an item spoils today that you automatically see 20 or 30% discount in the screen. If the prices would change so rapidly that the price would have changed when you are at the register, I foresee a public outcry. Here the paper cards were mostly replaced with electronic ones because it was such a pain to have to replace all of the paper cards every week or so for new discounts.

The mic on the off-camera person feels a little less… organic? I get the idea, but the previous setup felt more like playful off-screen banter, whereas the new setup feels more… manufactured I think. Either way, love the show! Thanks for your grueling, time-crunched work!

"Europe is not a country" That is true, because it's a continent

why is richard stallman doing techlinked?

[Kaldrax]

Would’ve been awesome if you included that Apple also tried to implement client-side-scanning/upload moderation into their systems not so long ago and faced a massive backlash for it.

Surge pricing on groceries? Just when we thought capitalism couldn't get any worse we reach a whole new level. It's like candy crush, except common people are the one who's getting crushed.
