  • You should see what searching was like on AltaVista. You’d have to scroll past dozens of posts of random numbers and letters to find anything legible. Click through and your computer would emit a cacophony of bell sounds and pour out screens of random nonsense and then freeze permanently. You had to rely on links and web-rings to navigate with any degree of success.

    And that in itself was a massive improvement on what was available before.












  • Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

    This sentence is a mess.

    The Nazi part wasn’t formed until the 1920s.

    South Africa was run by the British in the early 20th century. The Afrikaners were at this point, completely disenfranchised after the Boer War.

    It wasn’t until the 1940s under the National party (yes, there were named after the German National party !). that the Afrikaners and English began to share power.

    BTW, the apartheid system was designed with the help of an Indian lawyer you may have heard of - Mahatma Ghandi.







  • I don’t see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

    The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :

    1. Uploading ID to the website.

    2. 3D face scanning. This will include continual monitoring so if another person comes into view they will have to face scan in. Remember, its prohibited for chidren to even watch prohibited content with their parents.
