    Maybe they can get the diamond clouds on Jupiter to pay for the new spaceport, in space cash of course.

    Even better if you use Experian: give us access to all your spending data or else you'll never see a score increase again (source: been dealing with this for three years while Equifax continues to go up. I feel like they're doing something illegal, but they probably already were and nobody cares.)

    There's some truth there, it's hard to measure the value of something if it doesn't exist. Might as well just build it and see!

    The last part took me a minute but that is really the hallmark of any commercial software from the last 15 years. They all think they've solved your problem that they've never heard of.

    Never heard of that one, I was telling somebody the other day about IceWeasel. So there definitely are FF clones. Or I guess you could just compile Firefox yourself and remove the denylist portion of the code. Would be extra funny if they compiled a version specific for France (because why block sites for everybody else?) and put it next to the regular one on their website with text that said oh BTW if you're in France definitely only download this version, wink wink.

  • Could modern computers decipher hieroglyphics if we never found the Rosetta Stone?

    I'll have more faith once it can reliably switch back and forth between Unicode symbols and their underlying HTML entities. It understands the concept of emojis and can use them appropriately, but I can tell there's still some underlying issues in the token/object model for non-ASCII symbols.
