This theoretically gives you an edge because a lot of people don't play random numbers. Or you can just get a "quick pick" ticket and save a bunch of time by having the lottery machine's random number generator do it for you.

It's never lupus.

I don't think this is news worthy. They still have a website, so no you don't have to download an app. I suppose a website could allow you to print a boarding pass at home (or at least a screen shot). Furthermore, they will still print a boarding pass for a fee.

This sounds like every airline I've been on in the past 5 years...

Apparently it was popular with Marriott Elite Rewards members. There are a lot of angry people in their forums.

The news here is Tim Berners-Lee apparently hasn't used his invention in the past 5 years. Everyone who has knows it's dying.

Apparently Aldi started accepting credit cards around 2017

They already exist for Visa. There is Traditional, Signature, and Infinite.

Yes, it's a double edged sword. By exuding rewards cards they will reduce their expenses, and at the same time exclude individuals with high credit scores. Businesses will need to think carefully about what is best for them. However, I fear most will do the simplest thing, and cut costs.

Most likely businesses that want to be viewed as upscale will continue to accept those cards. Businesses that want to be low cost (Aldi is the most extreme case, as they don't accept cards currently) will not.

The man was a medical marvel. He had his first heart attack at 37, and at one point had an artificial heart that kept him alive without a pulse for 15 months. Somehow he still lived to the age of 84.

We use AI to do code reviews on merge requests. IMHO that's the only thing it's good for. Giving it free reign to make changes is a disaster waiting to happen. However, it is quite useful at reviewing code and suggesting improvements.

AI prompt injection is the new SQL injection. Unfortunately, there's no sure fire way to prevent it. I highly recommend the Gandalf game if you haven't played yet.

The sad part is Microsoft got the memo a decade ago, but Unity and Gnome keep trying to make it happen.

Qualcomm is really missing out by not supporting open source. They could dominate the datacenter business.

You forgot takes up more disk space.

If we had a carbon tax we wouldn't need these studies because the option with the most GHG emissions would be the most expensive. (or it would at lest correlate) It would be one less thing to think about when buying a car.
