- Comment on Clock logic 1 week ago:
The numbers on the clock actually make a lot of sense.
12, 24 and 60 are highly composite numbers (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_number).
Imagine using numbers in a world where most people have no real understanding of fractions.
That is also the reason why you see the same or similar numbers as common screen refresh rates. 24, 48, 60, 120 and 240.
The 12 hour clockface design is that way because it is a similar design to that of a sundial, so people did not need to learn a new way to read the time. This also meant that for readibility reasons it was beneficial to only have 12 numbers.

Technically you are not wrong with what you are saying, however you still miss all the important points.

Its total bullshit to place a dystopian organisation so close to the center of a utopian society. It basically calls the whole society into question.

I know! Nothing about all this is new.
The only new thing is that the UK government ist about to learn about those things.

Look at my cool new protocol that looks just like I am just loading a webpage about cat facts, which is actually a hidden VPN that I use to secretly look at webpages about cat facts.

Einstein.
He was a generally great guy and had very progressive social views, so it would be fun to talk to him about the current state of the world.
Also a lot of his theories around relativity and theories of quantum physics have been proven recently. It would be amazing to see his mind be blown when he realises both sides were right and what that means for how a theory of everything needs to look like.

Except for the fact that linux is even better at running those old apps from other vendors by now. Try running Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 software under linux with wine.

Can you give an example of what those entry level jobs may be? Because I have yet to encounter a position where an AI would be as smart as an entry level person.

That wors too. Then Google knows that you are using this porn site.
If only the phone itself does the verification, it is just like klicking yes with extra steps.

Also people like me where the phone has no clue about my age are out too.

Well the upper 13% are by definition not normal.
However it feels normal to have that many close friends. We have lots of regular game nights or movie nights.
It is however noticable that games are often not made for big groups to play together or that restaurants have a hard time to accomodate your group of ten or more people.
It also depends on your definition of close. I’d consider some people close friends that I haven’t seen in over a year.
