Corresponding data also shows a rise, almost identical in numbers to the prevented suicides, of severely depressed individuals who had to be heavily medicated. Those individuals eventually became pariahs and were conveniently not heard from again. Thus bolstering the apparent success rate of the initiative.
That user just did an AMA about net security and the like. Previous posts show they are promoting an agenda warning about a surveillance state. While I don't fault that agenda, I do think they feel like they were not getting enough attention.
I do not think, nor did I say, they "fabbed" this unit for this specific purpose. I do think it was probable a hobbiest creation that was just handy when the idea struck. The complete lack of any specifics about how it was found seems like a think story thought up on a spur of the moment thing.
Given the rest of the info, yes I do think that is a millenial. And this is a poorly thought out campaign to garner attention. Sorry to ruffle your feathers you may want to develop a thicker skin. You do not know my demograpphic but a mere 5 yrs over millenial does not make me an old man. But your opinion really will never affect my world.
To me, this stinks of home made stunt to get attention. The guy's reddit name, the shit build quality, the lack of any detail as to how it was found... etc etc etc. It's a millennial cry for attention, for whatever reason.
Depending on how she is as a person, this may or may not be something to consider...
Set up a mailserver for her and your wife. You may very well have your own domain and mail already. But just ask some friends to help to ensure this will last a long time.
Then I'd suggest a series of short messages as well that could go on a very long time. Video, yes, by all means. But even some emails. Start writing down stuff now as it comes to you. The first time you remember getting in trouble. The first time you had chocolate. Or the first time you had a drink of alcohol. Anything. Everything that sticks out to you as a story. Don't preach. Don't try to impart anything. Just be you in your own voice. Talk to her like you would anyone you love. She'll find wisdom and encouragement in those things. We are only the stories we tell. Facts can be found anywhere. Information is handed out freely. But it's the connections we share with the people we love that give meaning to all of it. Give her the chance to have your stories unfold like they naturally would. Who knows what she'll be doing at 30 when that email finds her. Personally I'd laugh, cry, and be happy to have another tale from my father.
Unlike the colossal cluster fuck that is Matchstick TV which is nothing more than a half million dollar bait and switch vaporware.
Kickstarter should only ever be used for new projects. Established businesses, artists, engineers, etc should not be allowed to sully the waters for people or projects that could legitimately use it.
This method works well to give privacy to an individual as well. If there's enough garbage information out there to effectively make it impossible to figure out truth from fact, then it's easy enough to hide in plain google site.
Amen! I do the same thing. At nearly 6' 6" I just act like a wall and let them hit me. Then enjoy the squirming as they look up and try to apologize out of it. It's a good moment to let them know what rude asshats they are for not paying attention.
Don't forget to add in Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Just look at ITIL to see how much paperwork the Brit's think is reasonable to get next to nothing done. Triplicate upon triplicate.
I'm all for freedom of choice. But if you have to pay for a half dozen different monthly services to get the content you want it's really not about choice anymore. It's about how much they can gouge from you. Why not just offer single show subscriptions? Or pay as you watch?
Both are cool. But the FF episode would have had to have been from 1980-81. The memory we're talking about for me, takes place in my bedroom which would put it in that time frame. I know FF ran previous and post this time period. But I'm relatively certain the ant robot episode ran from around that time. Also recall it having a posterior much like an ant that was solely for the batteries. While the head had a few limited sensors and the main controller was in the abdomen.
I'm guessing on the 2 feet. But based on the room, chairs, table, etc. I think between 12 - 24 inches is the range.
It was one of the few untethered machines they had in the episode and I thought it amazing because it had no centralized intelligence. It had a core command set that told it to "walk". Or more according to them, gave it the desire to walk. How it did that was up to it.
They disabled it by flipping a switch on the back that shut it down. And it was stunning to watch it learn to stumble then walk.
I really wish this show was in the archive.org. It would be a fantastic reference point. And a great search item, that so few people do seem to do.
There was a show in the 1980's from the CBC in Canada called "Fast Forward". Every week it focused on different tech innovations and where they'd go. One week they had learning robots. For the most part these were all simplistic things. But they had an "ant" that was about 2 feet long that was autonomous. The MIT crew that had created it realized that a centralized brain was just too big and power draining to build into the robot. So they had a system of sensors with rudimentary data and needs (leg=up, down, forward, backward, touching, not, moving or not, etc). If they shut it down it lost the memory of how to do anything it learned that day. They turned it on for the camera and it was a flailing ball of legs. Within 5 minutes it not only learned how to walk but circumvent objects, falls, danger. It still sticks out as amazing. Watching this video, I wonder what ever happened to that bot from nearly 30 yrs ago and wonder why does this spider seem to have actually gone back in time?
Used to. The published numbers just do not show the reality. Between friends and family in B-ville and McAllen and knowing the number of shootings and car bombings they've witnessed, not one of them get's to the news. Hell, at my job down there, (worked for the state) we were told to NOT post any stuff on social media like: "OMG there was a shooting outside the mall today." One morning there was a shootout at the mall, 3 ppl hit. I thought surely this would make the news. Not a word of it anywhere.

... would be a nice feature to add as well. And click/bait follows.

Another way of looking at this is Millennials vs. the old order. Welcome to the true ME generation.
If you can't laugh at a 1k yr old meditating monk, then who can you laugh at. =)
He's just in a very deep state of meditation.

Time to make an app that warns people when they're about to collide.

Jokes one them. Uber's robot cares are going to put Uber drivers out of business.
Perhaps this will end up being the long awaited sequel to that scifi classic Caprica One.

It would be better if the data slowly corrupted over a year eventually ending in a bunch of gibberish text and glitched photos...
Thinking about it, I guess that means it would just make it indistinguishable from most other accounts.

That's a really good idea. Then you could set threshold levels and deal with it on your own level. It avoids the censorship thing as well. (mostly)
You suck worse at dealing with bots. And worse still about dealing with follow-bait advert accounts managed by media agencies.
If you removed all of these two types of accounts, I have no doubt twitter's "user base" would drop by 80%. It's functionally useless IMHO.
They're doing everything they can to scare you shitless!
