“Remote technical support” is a very broad category.

Are MSP’s now non-compliant, I wonder…

Or…art and literature enter a new two-tiered era with artistic and literary works made by humans, with other humans as witnesses to some or all of the process, becoming extreme-premium-items alongside AI-generated works, which are likely to become the fare of mainstream society, if the current wave continues unabated.

Consider: “Reserve requirements are a tool used by the central bank to increase or decrease the money supply in the economy and influence interest rates. Reserve requirements are currently set at ZERO as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” ref: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/requiredreserves.asp

This has existed in tech for a long time. We call it the “Pet Project”.

What you said at the end deeply resonated with me. I made a similar decision regarding music years ago and since giving up all aspirations of commercial success from music, the quality of what I am able to create has blossomed - and then tanks again the moment I so much as THINK of making a track to put up for sale.

So I came to the similar conclusion of playing only for myself and my family, and I am much happier with music as a result.

I recommend to anyone working on talent-development to try, the next time inspiration strikes, creating your next piece of art for an audience of one (Self) and see what happens. The results may surprise you.

If one works at Walmart, for example, one does not get to opt out of being filmed by the employer within the workplace.

For police, the neighborhood is the workplace, and the taxpaying citizen is the “Employer” of the police.

The logic which applies for one, should apply for the other.

All I can say is that it must take alot of confidence, for lack of a better term, to look at what time the sun goes down and to decide that you are going to change that.

Alot. But not all.

Every CPU cycle used by software, including an Operating System, depletes a limited pool of immediate resources.

If the same device and functionality I enjoy have not changed, then the room for concern arises.

Polyphasic sleep seems to be the natural sleep-cycle of humanity, as proven through natural circadian rhythms.

Sleeping for 8+ hours at one time, on a regular basis, may just not be natural for a significant percentage of humanity.

Find a non-technical hobby and go so fully into that (visibly) that you become a magnet for others just getting into the hobby.

Being there is like living midway down a river. Just stay there and “they” will come.

Have you considered ICANN? Or USA-based DNS providers?

One letter, from the right agency, can do a great deal.

So…nobody wants automatic portrait/landscape rotation anymore?

That was a magnificent piece of writing. I will definitely be pondering human vs animal consciousness this weekend, because of it.

Forgot about 10 goto 10 eh?

I would say that a primary difference is the investment runway the successful players have enjoyed. Some of them are still not objectively profitable to this day, but their massive topline revenues, scales of operations, and levels of name recognition makes many of them remain attractive investment targets nevertheless.

Comcast has been doing this for years. And unless you get your own modem, theirs tend to turn the feature back on (even if you turn it off) automatically at various intervals.

I love this. The layout. The color scheme. The workflow. This is far better an approach than most beatmaker apps, and even many desktop equivalents.

Excellent work. Expand the sound library, include a good host of examples, wrap this up as an app, publish, and profit my friend.

Kudos, and congratulations on your success in advance!

Are you sure that you have not done some online research regarding Voltaren, either before or after purchase?

Did you email anyone about it or receive any emails about it?

If so...

While this article fails to meet the promise of the title, there have been several promising studies using:

Lasers: https://slate.com/business/2014/05/scientists-have-figured-o...

Sound: https://jtultrasound.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s403...

And others.

If the article mentioned the data having been filtered to not include automated queries I missed it.

I would not be surprised if the vast majority of today’s Google searches are not being made by machines, scripts, etc.

Desktop vs mobile was mentioned but that doesn’t necessarily prove that the traffic is “human”.

Clearly this had to happen, in due course, but these publicly-announced efforts only serve to teach deepfake makers to produce better (i.e. more believable) content.

The interesting place this could take us to is one within which video evidence of a crime is no longer sufficient evidence to convict, making charges like police brutality and domestic abuse even harder to consistently prove than they are now.

Every so often a utility feels so intuitive that one thinks, "They finally got it right".

Present feeling: They finally got it right. This is how flowcharts should be made, by default.

It took time, and many thousands of dollars, before I realized that the vast majority of “likes” my pages received as a result of paid campaigns on FB were from accounts which were clearly not real people.

A simple look enough of their profiles revealed that, like would he expected from any fly by night CPA network, FB was using bots, or at least straw man accounts run by low-cost staff, to like and view content which FB was paid to advertise.

Worse, I found that the clickthrough metrics reported by them to off-FB destinations I advertised NEVER was anywhere close to what was reported on the destination, including when tracked by Google Analytics.

In short: like-fraud, click-fraud, and more.

I cannot be the only person to notice these things. I assume it persists because most people, self included, simply complain and move on once we notice the “game” but don’t sue.

I think you are missing the trust-factor inherent in Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies. If you pay me 1 coin, I trust that you have the coin to spend because of collective verifications from other nodes in the network which confirm the same.

Similarly once you spend that coin with me, others may trust that I now have that coin to spend because of the same collective verification structure.

Offline transactions eliminate such trust capabilities due to the lack of transaction and balance verification.

Well ham radio operation, in the USA at least, requires a license. Are you proposing that everyone get ham-radio-licensed as a prerequisite to participating in the new economy?

This comment is unlikely to win me many friends here, but it is worth considering that while Bitcoin is, nominally at least, decentralized and free from government control, internet access is not.

A simple glance at the trend of governments to partially or to fully shut down internet services to certain areas in times of unrest or mass protest means, in the case of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies requiring collective transaction verification via online communications, that a loss of internet constitutes an inability to conduct financial transactions for those thus affected.

While I applaud the efforts of so many to free the world from government control of "money", the full implementation of this effort should be preceded by freeing internet communications from the control of those same governments, otherwise what appears to be a new financial "power" is actually a new financial "weakness".

Think over this carefully.

What is unfortunate is that it took going to appeal to force the judge to allow the code review at all.

Without, at minimum, an independent review (and preferably open source code) the software and lab processes being used constitute an inscrutable "black box" process within which any judgment can be made, for any conceivable reason, with life-changing effects for the defendant (and for the victims of a crime if, for example, a rapist or murderer is set free by a non-match decision).

One could even say that unreviewable code here falls under the umbrella of "secret evidence", which much of the world already knows can be easily misused and/or misapplied at the whim of the court.

Read the sample. I was sold as soon as I ran across terms like “The Society for the Promotion of Cat Ascendency (SPCA)” and “The Association for Cat Machinations (ACM)” and the following disturbingly accurate paragraph:

“Juvenile humans, in particular, are capable of having their internal logic be permanently reconfigured by repeated exposure to certain powerful instructions. These kinds of devices are called purrgrammable logic devices.”

Excellent work!

Thanks!

I use the Anaconda-packaged version of Spyder on a daily basis. Great product, although I can never seem to get the IDE updates to consistently work within that environment.

Nevertheless it is my favorite IDE for Python.
