This is the same as "What's the card holders age" by simply binary searching for it. A better way would be:

1. Have the card define the countries age access levels. (Example in Germany: >=16 [Beer/Wine], >=18 everything else)

2. The app can only ask: "Is [BEER] allowed for the card holder y/n?

This makes it immediately cross-legislative and protects the exposed data from meta analysis.

Edit: This would allow for self exclusion too. Make it possible for individuals to give up access to gambling/alcohol/tabacco/porn nationally.

Fullly anonymous + untraceable attestation --> unlimited certificate sharing

Since when is slop-producing ad-machine social media the only access to speech, press and association?

Let's Encrypt could stop issuing certificates to you, if the administration decided that necessary. This would at least disrupt whatever you were serving. Not that I think this is likely, only possible.

I think LE clealy demonstrated the need for a accessible free ACME authority. But it is high time for more alternatives (EU and China at least). FWIW: Everything around public infrastructure should be run decentralized not-for-profit using national resources. Things like DNS Registrars are silly if you think about it. They just buy it from TLD holders anyway.

I think c++ didn't replace C because it is a bad language. It did not offer any improvements on the core advantages of C.

Rust however does. It's not perfect, but it has a substantially larger chance of "replacing" C, if that ever happens.

``` const window.$ = (q)=>document.querySelector(q); ``` Emulates the behavior much better. This is already set on modern version of browsers[1]

I understand the sentiment but this couldn't be further from the truth. There are no robotic hand models that get close to the fidelity of humans (or even other primates).

The technology just doesn't exist yet, motors are a terrible muscle replacement. Even completely without software, a puppeteered hand model would be revolutionary.

What harm does is do? Altruistic kindness is not affected by the response. That's the point. Being "exploited" for kindness is not possible, it's not a currency.

> Ingratitude is common, as is sociopathy.

Source? If anything, most anecdotes point to the opposite, gratitude and kindness is extremely common.

I don't think LLMs currently are intelligent. But please show a GPT-5 chat where it gets any math problem wrong, that most "intelligent" people would get right.

In what way? Seriously, what benefit is there? (And don't say security...)

Especially with short links there's always the possibility of entering ~6 characters and getting a hit. So I believe expecting any secrecy from urls is silly.

That's like posting your passwords on Twitter because "Why would anyone find my account"

I don't really like the idea of short term key batteries, but it sounds like bmw can improve the current system a lot.
