I’m a DevOps engineer and my employer runs a lot of Linux instances in AWS. I’d love for these politicians to explain to me how age verification of Linux web servers should work for auto-scaling environments where instances are spun up and terminated automatically based on traffic volume. I’d also like to know if I should be using the age of our CEO, the age of our company (thanks to Citizens United), or something else.

    I'd like to see them pair a bluetooth headset to a phone.

    If it's over 18 years old, does it automatically pass age verification

    Come on, can't be that tedious. What could it be 200-300 instances tops per day? My kid sister does that many selfies.

    Also, is each docker container a "computer" of its own? After all, I could use different distro base images!

    You are required to have age verification. We licence our age verification on an instance basis. An instance is defined as whatever makes us the most money, or alternatively causes you the most pain.

    You know. A worst case scenario.

    Yeah, I don't even know what you're talking about, and that makes me extra certain that politicians definitely don't know what you're talking about. It is nice to see them perhaps taking into account expert opinions on this subject, but 1 for 100 doesn't make for a good average.

    They'll listen to the lobbyists peddling them with hookers and blow (and promises of future non-executive board memberships and and millionaire speech circuit fees).

    That's all the expertise they care about.

    Honestly I wonder if this is why the amendment is being suggested. AI products in particular are likely to be interacting with a lot of websites that will be required to verify ages, and I'm sure California in particular is loath to make waves that might throw that revenue stream into doubt.
