Nevertheless, the definition of a qubit is that is has those three states, meaning it technically isn’t binary.

True, but they have the third state of superposition giving them a total of 3 possible states; 0, 1 and both simultaneously

but that bit is not only 1 or 0, which means that a qubit isn’t binary.

This seems highly location/payment system dependent. You can’t do it where I live, the CC terminals require the final amount to be sent to them before it will accept a card, if you scan your CC before the final amount is sent to the terminal it just gets ignored and a CC will still be requested once the cashier has sent the final amount to the terminal.

There is no small talk or push for registering for their bonus card systems, etc, here. You go in, do your thing, say thank you, go away

As it should be! The exaggerated fake politeness I’ve encountered in the US is fucking horrible and makes everything worse.

Sure it can, quantumn computers aren’t binary.

Amazon seems to be riding on the desperation of poor uneducated people. When you can choose between starving homelessness for you and your kids and working at amazon, your ideals tend to take a backseat. And Amazon works hard to break your spirit and perpetually keep you that desperate.

I much more blame the people willingly using their services. Stop buying shit from amazon.

cooling that doesn’t waste water

That would increase their already insane power consumption

I hate that camera surveillance in cars is happening like that. Unfortunately people have also been proven to be absolute morons when driving and doing all sorts of other shit than actually keeping their eyes on the road, and inattentive driving is the leading cause of accidents. So this is sort of something people brought on themselves by being idiot drivers.
