There's multiple forms of "Google Pay" and people seem to be confused about this. You are talking about adding a card to tap-to-pay, and therefore generating a tokenized device account. That requires verification as you are essentially "creating" a "new" card.

"Google Pay" is also the name of the peer-to-peer transfer service Google has (had?) which accepts debit and credit cards and allows you to pay others. This only uses standard address verification.

"Google Pay" is also the name of the payment processing service Google uses for their own services, like the Play Store. Adding a card here also only uses standard address verification.

Data is shared between these three systems. If you have already registered cards with 2/3, they will be pre-populated when you try and add a new tap-to-pay card, and at that point you do the SMS verification.
It isn't necessarily the case that all resource extraction necessitates pollution. We often end up with pollution because we don't have enough energy to implement approaches that are more energy-expensive, but pollute less. If we had more energy, perhaps due to cheap fusion, we could extract a lot more resources without necessarily polluting everything.

For instance, if we could afford to heat all discarded outputs up to plasma temperatures, we'd never have to chemically pollute anything. We could easily break the chemicals down to safer variants. Most of the elements are either fairly safe or easy to turn into something safe. But by modern standards that's an insane amount of energy. Possible much more sophisticated nano-/bio-tech could do much better.

If we had more energy and robotics, we could also do things like backfill our strip mines and put the topsoil back on top. We don't do that because it's absurdly expensive, not because mining intrinsically requires that we tear the landscape apart.

But I am aware that I'm talking about making things literally orders of magnitude more expensive than they are now. We couldn't do it now. I'm just saying that the destruction isn't intrinsic to the resource extraction. Even "fossil fuels" would be no big deal if we had tons more energy. We know how to take CO2 out of the air and turn it back into solid forms for long-term storage right now. We just don't have the energy to do it cost-effectively for any current known technique, and we especially can't do it for thermodynamic reasons by trying to use the energy from burned fossil fuels in the first place.
> You need a longitudinal study is my whole point.

I agree. I think this report is just meant to provide a counter to the prevailing (accepted?) narrative. Maybe it's meant to inspire/fund the type of study you suggest?
The soldier's anti-tank missile also has costs, and it usually misses or hits without destroying the tank (or taken out by anti-missile active defence). When you add all these up, it turns out the tank/missile cost equation is close to balanced.

The tank's problem is less that it's vulnerable to anti-tank missile, but its high visibility, now relatively weak weapons and vulnerability to air assets (which is also high visibility again).
Google has set up a payment profile without my consent after they've asked to verify my account with a credit card. These [1] are some previous comments with the details:

> A month ago I was asked in a surprise email to verify my age for YouTube with a credit card, which I did to avoid landing in support hell later on, because I publish browser extensions with the Google account.

> I rarely log in, and I wasn't using the Google account at the time the email was sent, nor do I ever use the attached YouTube account. The card was saved in Google Payments without my consent.

> I live in the EU. Their support page mentions that they will ask for age verification when you attempt to watch a restricted video, but I was not using the YouTube account.

> https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10070779

> Then there's also the question of creating a payment profile for the user without consent.

> > If you enter your credit card info for age verification, Google will retain this data as necessary to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

> https://support.google.com/accounts?p=age-verify

> Meeting legal requirements is very different from saving your card in Google Payments, which then you can readily use to buy products in any Google service.

They are hopelessly deceptive, and will not shy away from breaking the law every step of the way just to prop up other Google services.

A trick? Doesn't make sense.. For what purpose? I think Russians have a really hard to to pretend to be weak, so for me this scenario was dead on arrival.

I had the feeling Russia hasn't used their best men and equipment yet, which also seem less likely bu the day
Chrome card autofill was always stored via a separate Google API, which is why you need to input the CVV to autofill the card number and can't just pull it from your local sync database file. You've always had a ""Google Pay"" profile, it's just now in a dedicated screen.
So use a service without morals. Some exist.
I literally keep another keyboard around to switch to on conference calls because of how loud my Kinesis is.
They wrote a paper on it. They weren't just aware, they were demonstrably aware. Or are you suggesting that we blame people for having a finite mental processing speed?
> Google Latitude was an opt-in service.

Ostensibly, so is Google Pay. And yet here we are. See also, from the third link in my previous post:

> And the privacy watchdog said users of Latitude were not informed that Google tracked their movements to enhance its database of Wi-Fi information.

Probably, but there are competing priorities:

1. Location based DNS is incredibly useful

2. Sending user data (IP address, location) to authoritative nameservers is out of vogue.

There are efforts to send privacy-friendly geo info to authoritative nameservers. But they aren't getting much traction. Which means location based DNS is getting less useful by the day (because it's not working for as many people).
Have you considered, though, that we (as in you and I) might be some of these bullies in the world and that these rough men aren't just standing by, but are actively doing violence on our behalf ? One needn't look much further past recent events to find examples aplenty.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but it's not as easy as pretending that the weapons "we" develop are purely for morally and ethically righteous purpose.
Anyone wanna ELI5? It's useful for bother explainer and receiver. ;)
OK, add some rocket launchers or drone-bombs to the equipment to take care of those. Manned tanks will go the way of the dodo, they are too vulnerable. The same will probably happen to carrier groups once hypersonic projectiles are common and accurate enough.
The geopolitical situation in the 1800s and even the first half of the 1900s was much more volatile than today. Yet, industrialization caused massive changes. In fact that was a big part of the feedbackloop for the political instability. Neverless it certainly wasn't an impediment to innovation and sometime even spurred it (via war funding). I just don't buy that peace and social stability enables progress, I'd argue the very opposite.
Just trying it now - I don't know how I've missed this application before, but someones been keeping it quiet :)
They're fighting a defensive war, not a war of maneuver.

Easier to use IEDs and mines when you're bunkering down and the fields are mud -- necessitating the use of a handful of roads.

I'd bet my hat that the reasons the Russians are surrounding the cities and blasting them down is because they know they'd run into tons of IEDs + NLAWs if they rolled into a city.
What do you mean, "permitted"? It's not illegal to run these sorts of computational jobs or publish the results.
I am annoyed every time I read a statement of this form: "most of the world was handed essentially free access to the entirety of knowledge"

No. Only people who have never used a university library would believe this. Most of humanity's knowledge is locked behind paywalls.

Once Sci-Hub and related efforts are done breaking down the paywalls and we have a generation growing up expecting knowledge to be available, we might see a big difference.
we can infer a little bit more than that. The framing of the two photographs is exactly the same (look at the two rocks in the lower right hand corner), and so that camera was almost certainly not moved between the frames. That seems pretty improbable to me if the cannonballs were actually delivered by cannons.

> High-quality drivetrains in bicycles can have an overall efficiency of up to 95%, can this system beat that?

It almost definitely cannot. I tried researching efficiency of suitably small generators some time ago but it was surprisingly hard to find useful numbers; however, I'd assume combined generator + motor efficiency won't be better than 70%. Add in conversion efficiency (for charging the battery), it's even worse.

However, that's not necessarily a problem if you consider the battery to be the primary power source and pedal power as something like a opportunistic range extender. If your battery can take you there and back, then does it matter if pedal power is only 50% efficient? I would consider such a tradeoff for the joy of not ever having to clean or replace a chain (or listen to it squeak), put it back on when it drops, or getting jeans stuck in it...
Well almost half the results on the page are 4x8's, when explicitly searching for 2x4's for one.
So you want to diminish the diversity in programming languages because it’s an inconvenience to you personally. I respect the honesty.
This is a well studied phenomenon in literature. Some books we regard as classics today sold relatively little upon release, while authors in the past were incredibly popular then, upon the author's death usually, the name was utterly forgotten from aesthetic appraisals. Ideas of a "canon" are much less stable than people think.
Report every day because you can't prove that you weren't and you wouldn't want to be accused of failing to report or failing to detect later.
I got lucky and got a 6800 from AMD.com (wanted the 6800XT).
It was pretty sucky that AMD said they'd have a lot of supply, and then didn't.
Works great while your infantry platoon has the missiles to pop one or two unsupported.

If they are in force then you get rolled.
If you’ve never used Google pay and go to pay.Google.com it asks you to sign up? I tried just now and I already have a profile with no activity. Looks like the profile can be closed if you like though.
It is still cheaper to blow up an adversary's hardware with those than it is to fight them with your own tanks.

The thundering irony of blaming the group of people who made you aware of a problem for being unaware of the problem is even more difficult to overstate.

Oh wow. I'm tempted.

I've used an original Advantage for most of the last 10-15 years; it's a TANK of a keyboard and I love it.

I bought a KeyChron -- conventional style, but smaller -- to use with an iPad last year, but it's ended up being my go-to at my desk due partly to the great key feel and smaller footprint, but also because it turns out backlighting is a really nice thing to have.

A backlit Advantage sounds awesome.
> assumes there is a compatible religion

Of course there is a compatible religion: Take buddhism for example.

I agree that Poland and Hungary have problems with LGBT rights, but like I said, that is the 1 or 2 generational gap. Ukraine might indeed have that same problem. But give it a generation or 2.

My wife is from Slovakia, and also there you can see the difference between mentality. Newer generations are more tolerant.
I agree. And afaik he always posts on the same official channels, which makes these videos identifiable as fake.
Yes. As in paper/rock/scissors, vulnerability is only part of the story. Glass has huge compressive strength but fails under very low tensile stress, diamond is the hardest material but will shatter easily under a (large) hammer...

They are not getting the same level of support? Last time I checked there was free housing, food etc and guidance for all of them, not to mention the thousands of NGOs that cover all roles.

I'm sorry but all I can see in this criticism is people who feel uneasy because we feel closer to Ucranians.

I don't feel sorry for it, honestly.
This must be an American thing; in Europe I've have never seen anyone use "the Ukraine".
