Musk pulled his dick out in front of that woman (aka his employee) and tried to pay her for sex. Offered her a horse. Ended up with his company paying her $250,000.

Musk had that bizarre moment where he called someone a pedophile for turning down a PR stunt. He has ties to Epstein. He cozies up to Trump.

He’s a sex offender / sexual predator. He wasn’t convicted – he’s the richest man in the country paying a quarter of a million to keep people quiet.

It’s going to come out that he’s been raping kids and it’s going to be so obvious so many signs everyone knew blah blah blah.

A hidden device implanted on our cortex at birth should detonate when we suggest something like “We should let corporations solve global warming.”

The list is compiled by the MPA, a group that represents studios, etc. They work with our government, and to which degree I have no concrete idea, (edit: a trade association is supposed to work with governments on behalf of it’s members) but they merely submitted this list to our government. That’s according to the article and the torrent freak source.

I think the article wasn’t being clear and other comments seem to agree.

This is a serious question. How do they know it’s not living in Austria that may lead to you cutting your penis off? Is the percentage of men living in Austria who mutilate themselves higher than the percentage of men who take psilocybin who do the same? We may be on to something.

Terminating service over allegations of piracy. Kicking someone off the internet because an automated copyright system accused them of piracy. That’s crazy.

Next time an artist makes a big deal about being ripped off I’m going to contrast “working hard and then getting ripped off” with “underregulated industry manipulating society for profit” and probably just pirate.

How to “block” ads: Refresh the video multiple times. They will show a few different ads and then give up. It even works on console YT apps which have more ads.

I guess it affects impressions? I figured they would have fixed that, but this still works so whatever.

Sovcits + consumerism == Pirating isn’t stealing because this word here has a certain definition, which invokes this special rule that lets me do what I want.

Is Australia allowed to say what they want? We recently made them coup themselves over military bases, I can’t imagine Australian leaders speaking out against our foreign policy / goals. We’d end their career.

From what I can find, by “These routers send your credentials in plaintext”, they actually meant to say, “The mobile app sends credentials in plaintext.”

If you use the web interface then your credentials are not sent in plaintext. The routers themselves also don’t send credentials in plaintext.

The people who found this out got that wrong, and a lot of people are confused because they didn’t expand on “in plaintext.” They could be a little more professional / thoughtful.

Edit: I’m also thinking about the “may expose you to a MITM” bit. I think if it was https then a MITM (assuming all they can do is examine your packets) wouldn’t work because the data can only be unlocked by the private key. It sounds like it was an http connection?

There are tracing programs that let you see when a program makes system calls to read and write files, control hardware, etc. It might be easiest to run it and see what it does in a VM sandbox. Process Monitor looks like a strace equivalent on windows.

And because corporations aren’t people, here’s the CEOs that ran things during 2014:

Hans Vestberg (b 1965) Verizon

Randall Lynn Stephenson (b 1960) AT&T

Glen F Post (b 1952) CenturyLink

We let these people act with impunity in our society but it doesn’t need to be this way. Look at how Elon, who thrives on attention, flips out over being tracked and heckled. They stole hundreds of billions from us but we don’t even act like it.

It’s a lot of work making stuff up just to have your spiritual alcohol.

Essentially, they needed a list of things their target audience would eat up. Then they included the minimum amount of content required to say they had those things. (Remember, Trump et al are cheap as hell.)

It’s like an anthology saying, “We have Anne Rice! Stephen King! Issac Asimov!” and then it’s just one novella from each. But the customer just wants a book with those names on the front so it’s fine.

Based on the headline I got the impression that the bible was excluding these two amendments. As in, their absence was jarring in the presence of the other amendments.

The truth is that they left out 17 amendments. Because it’s Trump. It’s aimed at people who don’t care about the Constitution. The customers just want the greatest hits, the big names.

Misleading headline aside, here’s what the they actually omitted (aka here’s a truth which doesn’t leave anything out.)

11. Can’t sue a state unless you live there.

12. Structures electing presidents / VPs.

13. Slavery is banned except when it isn’t.

14. Born on US soil == you’re 'Merican, Harry.

15. Suffrage regardless of race.

16. Taxes.

17. Structures electing senators.

18. Prohibition good!

19. Suffrage regardless of sex.

20. Specifies length for Presidential / VP terms.

21. Prohibition bad!

22. The two term limit for Presidents.

23. Gives D.C. electors.

24. You can vote even if you didn’t pay taxes.

25. Formalized the VP succeeding a dead president.

26. Voting age set to 18.

27. That time when Congress took 200 goddamn years to impose a restriction on their salary.

This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.

When a computer reads some signal, the 0s and 1s in it’s memory is the data. The data must be processed so that the computer can understand it.

This computer is using threads to read neuron activity. It must necessarily receive data because if it didn’t it wouldn’t be reading neuron activity. They’re the same thing.

This data is processed so that the computer can make sense of the brain. Once it understands some activity it generates signals that can control external devices.

Here’s an example. Imagine a device that monitors the heart and does something to fix a problem. The device would get data on the heart and process the data so that it can perform it’s function.

Wouldn’t monitoring health concerns and mitigating data loss be extremely important in these scenarios?

Put it this way: If you took a thread talking about some tech from a joke community, and a thread about the same topic from a generic technology community, you won’t be able to tell them apart. People will bring the same energy and mindset to both. Jokes and “lol get rekt company I hate” will be pushed to the top, because they totally contribute to the discussion, while basic observations like “removing functionality is bad” will be pushed down. 👍
