The timing of the click captcha loading is randomized and it probably is looking for human-ish cursor movement? (Like you're probably moving your hand in imperceptibly small ways that are difficult to replicate). Clicking before it loads and doing it repeatedly probably triggers detection.

The US Government is absolutely fucking over its people with this because if solar panels are cheap, the installation cost makes its money back quicker, and people are simply leaving money on the table rather than waiting 15+ years for the investment to pay itself back.

I wouldn't suppose that people are required to inform steam that they're dead. Therefore, I'd assume the easiest way to bequeath games/DLCs, etc, is to get a wishlist from your loved ones, and then gift all of those games prior to death on a credit card that you might not be able to pay, due to being dead. Steam gets the money, the CC company gets shafted. Alternately, share your credit card details with a loved one and that list, and have them order within hours of your death (this depends on whether or not you were plausibly alive when those CC transactions took place)

Well, I feel the radiation concerns are sorta... Overblown compared to how much radioactive material a coal or natgas plant would pump out. Very excited to see how that experimental MSR out in the Gobi Desert does.

IDK, maybe the possibility of surveillance by anyone could've been avoided by not putting a general-purpose, wifi-enabled computer in everything?

Yes, you can outfit planes for more than one purpose and they were commonly used for troop transport.

If readers think this piece will now devolve into another Francis Fukuyama bashing exercise, they are absolute correct. We cannot let “The End of History” steal all the limelight. Francis Fukuyama has produced other stinkers as well and the long-forgotten “Trust” has aged just as poorly.
