Sorry to tell you this but you can make bots for practically anything with API access.
Plenty of chat programs have bots. Telegram had them for a while now of course not as long as IRC...
IRC is just the ruined wasteland that was left behind before the so called "progress" that is social networking.
("Social" like Facebook or what I like to call mass emailing alerts with pictures for dummies as a service. It forms a catchy acronym; MEAPDaaS)
Ever heard an iteration of this BS before? "Why not let your government collect data on you? you have nothing to hide."
I mean besides targeted ads, invasion of privacy, online profiling that will affect the prices of products and search results, being subjected to voyeurism by bored government agencies, attracting whatever weirdo or teen hacker that managed to somehow get the data, perhaps elongating the queue at the airport when you're "randomly" asked about that "funny" prank in college, or the widely used change of your insurance quote because some stupid filter found a word associated with higher risk somewhere in a database that has info about you...but let's get back on point:
Why would I trust the government with my data when they cannot secure their own data? -Why should I still bend over and just accept their blatant and useless corrosion of individual privacy and freedom in lieu of their incompetence and carelessness?
We already know secret courts have approved things "for the benfit of the people" to protect them.
The various elements of the US government are already doing the things they wish to "make legal".
It's not about terrorism or even about setting a precedent because that already happened "legally", in a court ruling you never knew existed. IMHO this is about saving face and following the "proper channels" to act in a manner that is acceptable by the multitudes.
You think all the money, time and effort put into mass surveillance and weakening encryption is just going to go away because it's no legal? it wasn't legal to begin with but it happened.
They want to go through a regular court, backed by "the people" (preferably by popular consensus) that will give them the power they already have so next time it will all be legal and "acceptable" because Joe Sixpack agreed.
They will try again and again in many guises until it becomes law. It would have been pushed regardless of who you voted for because you have no vote in matters of security. It cannot be discussed because we're being protected in our name, against our will.
...to reading this story on Friday but since then I've experienced something of a similar endless cycle with pornographic media.
I figured if Facebook won't let me break free of depression maybe watching better looking men have sex with women I'll never meet be so much better for me.
Although I digress it's worth mentioning that neither "cycle" is truly endless. Depressed users eventually recover or end and porn addicts eventually wake up very sore...
You can argue the logic but if people are not buying into the concept it just won't take off.
A plethora of logical conclusions and consequent actions have been avoided because there was no buy-in. It's no logical to limit the speed to X on the motorway. Look at the autobahn it works right? -this is not about logic. this is not data this is people and they are fearful.
Let's see how many insurance companies are being logical because it's safer and not stay risk averse to allow local municipalities to actually exact changes and make this a reality.
Tell parents how the bus is perfectly safe for the kids to get on and off while it's still moving etc.
Sorry for being risk averse. Clearly this is a terrible thing because it's not logical. Isnt it!?
Because this cannot go wrong, right? faster buses, people getting on and off whenever wherever...allow drivers to drive off before people are seated...
How much time will be saved overall per trip? does that justify the risk?
To examine the ridiculousness of this I suggest that Kauffman get into his car; drive with doors open, let his family get on and off as they please and make sure not to remain stopped when they do not have their seatbelts on.
Even if he thinks this is a great idea and willing to do that with his kids how many of us will follow? -I sure aint.
It appears that I posted this previously in an article about encrypted radar Waveform. Expectedly it got modded into oblivion...obviously it should have been here. So for posterity here it is.
Here's an idea
Allow OTA updates only through a program (app) on a smartphone.
This achieves three important things;
1. The car has no remote communication capabilities (update via cable or at worst NFC that can be turned off in hardware!)
2. You can choose if you want to upgrade because you can choose to connect or not.
3. Be a much safer option for updates etc.
Let's not forget other motives manufacturers have...your data. Manufacturers can still get at their precious data for customers willing to share it.
I never allow windows to automatically download anything. I go to the trouble of reading the updates despite microsoft saying shit like "recommended update" and "Fixes critical vulnerability in windows" without actually saying what the fuck it does. I click through and read the darn KB.
I didn't like M$ at the best of times but I appreciated windows 7, it works. It seems that they were dissatisfied with that and couldn't figure out how toi give people MORE VALUE so they decided to piss us off with shoving the damn thing down our throats.
We are sufficiently angry to tell M$ they can go fuck themselves and their stupid windows 10.
I bet they're going to change the definition from 1 kg = 1024 grams to 1 kg = 1000 grams. And we'll probably have to write "kig" too to make sure we don't get confused about the old definition.
Was gonna mod this "Funny" but unfortunately there choice is via a drop-down list which confuse CMD people like myself. To make it worse there's no "undo". So I'll just post to take any mods away. Boo.
So some students with nothing to lose and no real life consequences decided to cheat in a study?
Maybe the first batch were clever enough to win that particular game and as they have already won (nothing) got bored and chose an alternative while those that lost still pursued a valid way to win?
It may be worth noting that people eventually graduate or leave college (or are expelled) and grow up eg. mature. Maybe less mature individuals are more likely to more??
I too conduct a test. In the first phase I gave slashdot readers a grade study to dissect. Those who dissected the study in the first phase were more likely to make toilet paper out of it in the second stage. Headline: this study shows that slashdot readers are more likely to steal and vandalise because they cannot afford toilet paper.
My conclusion? this just proves that low grade studies are first read and in the second stage transformed to being useful in the form of toilet paper. Maybe that means I'm a winner?!
So because the road seems weird to what a driver usually expects they'll slow down...but humans being smart they'll soon speed back up.
So in theory the change causes people to become more cautious? because the real danger is speed? (let's ignore the autobahn because it defies the "speed kills" thought camp. Yes accidents at higher speeds are more deadly, but accidents rates are the mass killers, inexperience, drunken driving etc - not speeding)
Of course what a genius idea it is to change roads randomly to see if people are more cautious for testing. Why not change them all the time? make contra-flow lanes, make them glow in the dark and put scary signs. Everything will be so much safer right? -err at least initially when drivers will be worried about this odd section of road.
If speed is such a concern why not limit the speed of vehicles to the national speed limit? -plenty of heavy goods vehicles are speed limited why not everything else?
Traffic police want to fine us. Make money off speeding drivers. They know it's not speed that directly causes accidents but merely a factor (sometimes not even that).
What did speed cameras achieve? more fines and drivers that know where the cameras are that speed between them. Toll roads that have drivers speed all the way to the rest stop and have coffee for 30 minutes.
Accident rates are lowered by better drivers. Survivability is increased with better technology and judgement of better drivers.
Yes, better roads and signs are a factor but what is more important is consistency. If you use the same system everywhere you know what to expect everywhere but I digress.
In my opinion the driving test only forces you to learn how to pass it. You only really learn to drive on the road, with time and experience. Most drivers drive nothing like they did on their theory test day. (for better and worse)
It would be nice if governments focus on *offering* (not imposing) refresher and advanced driving courses every so many years. That they focus on prevention by enhancing driver skills and setting legal limits based on scientific, testable conclusions that are long-lasting. That safety agencies use new electronic measures to limit acceleration and top speed in areas of increased risk. (read school ahead!). To legislate certain reasonable limits for vehicle power to weight ratios for commuting.
Lastly, that governing bodies come up with a no BS plan to combat congestion and other driver frustrations. Encourage different start times, flexible working hours, put schemes and initiative because everyone wins when traffic flows.
All of these can be solved with an autonomous shuttle. A self-driving vehicle. It does not get tired, it does not get angry, it is always driving in accordance with legal requirements, it keeps its distance, it accelerates responsibility and has technology to mitigate collision damage. Best of all the data can be used to make every driver less car as safe as an experienced cautious driver. -scores of people die in traffic accidents every day. They don't have to.
Personally I'd rather be reading slashdot on the way to work than watching the bumper of the car in-front of me. I hope you will agree that the time for driver less cars is now and possibly long overdo.
(I started off writing with a point in-mind but it became a stream of consciousness type thing. Thanks for reading.)
Quite wrong about AMD CPUs getting progressively worse.
Intel has outpaced AMD their process technology is more sdvanced allowing them to do magical things like significantly increase performance AND reduce power at the same time...
This also has something to do with Intel's past blocking of AMD products when the K7 Thunderbird was kicking ass. Year later cash strapped AMD agreed to settle the matter to the tune of $2 billion. I'm sure if they had a bit more time and money they could have gotten more.
Now, unsurprisingly Intel's advantage is only this much and not more, most likely because Intel needs AMD to exist. It's a great way to compare and handy not to be declared a monopoly.
So AMD has been improving, albeit at a slower pace than Intel. They can still compete but need to change the approach to fight where they can shine and profit rather than everywhere Intel goes.
I have seen first hand what damage D&D can wreck on unsuspecting kids.
All-of-a-sudden they get confused. They hear you talk of a game and yet there is no screen to see the game. Then they talk about some RPG games for a computer or console and don't understand how you can do something better with pen, paper and dice.
You begin by describing an alien world that exists only in the mind with a user interface that looks very different to facebook. At this point most compeltely give up...but some are susceptible to imagination and abstract thought and begin to imagine.
Before you know it they start blaspheming and talking about "gods" and pretending to be characters with divine-like powers that do away with rulers or anyone they do not like. Stealing, brutal executions, piracy, killing make-believe flying lizards for this thing they keep chanting like crazed monks "loot".
Piece by piece these kids become attached to their characters, and their character's flying horses or wands of wonder (which only makes sense if you're on crack; possibly a gateway drug) and the inevitable happens. That DM guy explain how something that makes no sense makes sense and your character dies, or you have the easiest battle except all your rolls are utter shit and that fucker DM keeps rolling 18, 19 and 20 and well your character dies because of that DM. (It's always him, he sets the penalties, sets the encounters, the monster actions, even the dice choice to randomly select who gets attacked and then the dice choice to randomly select how many attacks and even the damage, all that asshat's fault) and well...then your character is dead.
When little Timmy's character dies you know this game is evil. He was already socially rejected, isolated, alone, possibly with acne and braces...but when that character dies Timmy seriously loses his shit in the worst way.
Crying, anger, death threats, promises to succumb to the dark side and what not. It's ugly.
All I can say Timmy is that when you chet your DM on the dice roles one day he finds out. One day your level 16 expert theif slips during climbing and rolls downhill being unable to break the fall. He falls, hitting extremely sharp rocks on the way down following the natural curve in the mountain side he falls down a creek (yes on that unexplored side of the mountain and no it's not a creek that;s on the map cause it's too fucking small) and because of momentum he reaches the waterfall...AND FALLS...falling down and hitting some more rockas on the cascading waterfall he struggles to breathe as the current takes him...and washing him down another 8 fucking waterfalls. Yes, with very sharp rocks.
Then the very thing that caused your expert climber thief to fall becomes apparent when he finally grabs on to some bush as he gasps for air being mortally wounded and bleeding but just in the real of the living. A loud, low rumble of the impending earthquake that sees half the mountain side come crashing down on you. CRASHING DOWN ON YOU TIMMY!

So is D&D dangerous? -you decide. Just a word of advice, don't do the thing your DM hates the most and then keep it a secret and then amke it an inside joke in the group cause th
Considering the payload capacity what happens when it runs out of ammo? -assuming it's used for such purposes.
In any case obstacle avoidance is imperative for anything moving by itself. I imagine there will be rigorous testing standards legislation for such capabilities in the future.

Once upon a time ads annoyed me, I chose Adblock PLus because it got rid of the annoying ads.
Adblock Plus stopped doing a great job at blocking annoying ads and has then been uninstalled and everyone moved on...
Adblock Plus now wants to make it's inferior product worse to make a buck.
