  • Canonical/Ubuntu have been under DDoS for more than 17 hours

  • I kinda assume the hacker group link is fake. Ubuntu is British, but Microsoft contracts with the US DoD. It doesn't make sense, unless it's just easy money. I don't quite buy it.

  • It can barf out large outputs fast. As long as you review it and clean it up, it can get you 90% of the way there on a lot of things where you know what the final output should be basically. Need a quick bit of code for a common process? An email requesting a meeting? A picture of a dog burying a bone? A list of which people might be the suspect in the video? Then AI is great!

    Need math? Accurate texts or image matching? Use a different tool.

  • I guess it does depend a little bit on the grocery store. I'm more accustomed to seeing store brand price range comparable to Aldi, aka $1.50 for the bottom range for the varieties that have added sugar, and $2 and up for the "authentic" or organic varieties that don't have it.

    As for Prego, well I'm probably actually thinking of Ragu at the moment but they have "Simply" or "Kettle" or "Homemade" or authentic or organic styles that don't have added sugar. Not sure remembering all the right names for them, but having sauce without added sugars something that people seek out a lot easier so it makes sense that brands try to varieties to accommodate that market niche.

  • Idk, this one is pretty convincing from the one photo, at least on a small screen. If I was looking at the flag I might pick up on something being off, but nothing about the structure of modern social media drives you to look for the tells of artifice, and in fact we've been so conditioned to just sort of tolerate and ignore and accept as real airbrushing and Photoshop and even AI photo and video touch ups to the point where I think it's a lot harder to pick up on.

  • Great Value is Walmart and I just won't shop there. I can say I notice little difference (in a good way) between lower end brand names like Ragu or Prego and various store brands. I just don't see the price difference as much though. Maybe a dollar's difference. I'm still a store brand buyer, but I'm more price sensitive than taste sensitive on the question.

  • There are varieties made with little or even no sugar.

    I respect the DIY sauce game, but my point was that if you're buying pre-made sauce it's neither pricey nor necessarily loaded with sugar.

  • In my experience store brands are maybe 75% the price of Prego, and comparable quality. It's not high end but it's also not vastly overpriced. Maybe $3-4 a jar vs $2-3 for store brand, or $7-10 for the fancy brands.

  • Sam Altman's 'human verification' company thinks its eye-scanning orbs could solve ticket scalping

    Jump

  • Scalping is reselling goods on the secondary market for more than you bought them at the source?

  • It is harder if you want to resell it yourself, but that is the whole point. The right to resell a piece of paper or a code that lets you into a venue is the means by which scalpers ply their arbitrage.

    It just makes more sense to allow people to have the venue refund them. Then suddenly it's not sold out anymore.

  • There's a few ways to do this. At the other commenter said you can attach a name and require ID at the door. ID could be as common as a credit card or a school ID or even an official piece of mail. All this is less invasive than biometrics and more reliable too. Biometrics are always for convenience and not security.

    If you want to get extra cautious, sell tickets at the booth for an hour or two before the doors open and up until the beginning of the show. The ticket comes in the form of a paper wristband, like they use for alcohol, and you can pay cash.

    Want to buy a ticket for your friend? Use their legal name and then they show ID at the door. There's paranoid as you? Send them cash.

    There's another option. You can buy tickets for yourself and any number of companions. Only the purchaser has to show ID, and the entire party has to come in with the purchaser.

    There. And now you didn't have to give Sam Altman legal authority to store and resell your biometric data to private surveillance networks and retail shops in exchange for seeing Taylor Swift live.

  • They already do that to a degree. The problem is that scalpers buy up all the tickets and then over charge people on the secondary market.

  • You know what could solve ticket scalping? Ban ticket resales. That's always been an option. Venues don't do this because their only concern is selling out their seats.
