Thanks for making it simple without being condescending. I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of hitting this repeater, but I may at least attempt to listen for it.
Can anyone explain why the uplink is in the 2m band while the downlink is in the 70 cm band? Having separate frequencies makes sense, but what purpose is there to having them this far apart?
This is the next step on the career ladder for enterprising redstone engineers everywhere. Anyone who can design a CPU in Minecraft should be able to do it in GoL, if they have all the extensions. The lack of a NOT gate is a bit of a pisser, but can be worked around. It seems to me if you really want a NOT gate, you can use an XOR gate and constantly pull one line high. Maybe they don't have any ways to constantly pull a line high either.
Seriously though, I would not be surprised at all if the major contributors to this project started out hacking redstone.
Why not write the mining and phone-home routines directly into the games that people are playing? It would probably improve efficiency considerably, and somewhere in the EULA it can be noted that the game is working on a distributed computing project in the background as the 'fee' for using their otherwise free game.
Fat People Hate was a terrible place, without a doubt, but they stayed in their little box and didn't attempt to invade other subreddits. They moved to Voat, which has also become an awful place, but they maintained their standards of behavior -- being dicks to people who don't really deserve it (and a few who do), but not trying to stir up shit in other groups. Since what they did was deliberately steered away from abuse of the network, I felt they had every right to continue. Of course, advertisers call the shots now, so if it's not palatable to Big Money, it's banished or at least demonetized.
I can't say the same for subreddits that escaped the purge, like Shit Reddit Says. They survived because they are left-leaning trolls rather than right-leaning, despite being much worse about direct abuse of other groups and users.
In any case, I nuked my entire Reddit history before closing my account there, and although I have read a few subreddits when I need information found only there, I accept that I cannot respond or ask questions myself. I moved to Voat for a while until it became nothing but an extension of/pol/.
I haven't got my medical card yet, because I'm shy about going to a doctor and trying to say I've got some medical condition that requires pot (since I don't, really)
I don't see why you'd bother. You don't need one. The first time you show up at a dispensary you'll have to do some paperwork and show a driver's license (so don't bother trying before you change to a CA license), and that's all. Every time after that, just show the license.
and I'm not sure I want to smoke any at all, because it makes me kind of goofy and lazy,
Try a sativa rather than an indica or hybrid. It has less propensity to stick me to the couch, and also has minimal munchies.
When they believe themselves to be under close scrutiny, their behavior reverts to a more respectable, less egregious standard.
Doesn't that sound familiar?
It's Dieselgate writ small -- and this time around, there is no government agency tracking this sort of shit. That's why I rather suspect it will fail to make the radar of lawmakers until something particularly egregious happens. It probably will happen though.
Making a plan now and waiting until it's politically expedient to trot it out is better than having to make up policy on the fly, although it also allows greater chances of nasty poison pills getting embedded in it.
Because HTML tags are accepted, less-than and greater-than signs will always disappear. You have to use < and > (& l t ; or & g t;). Any attempt to use these symbols directly is going to be parsed as a broken attempt at HTML tagging.
Anyway, yes, social media stuff is public, but data mined, finely sifted repositories of it stored in government data centers are not.
And an identical repository in Google or Facebook's hands is distinguishable how? I mean if the government can collect that data easily, so can a lot of other people. How would you ever determine whether someone looked you up in the government's repository, or someone else's?
If someone fakes a drunk-driving video and is arrested, can the police then be sued for false arrest?
Not successfully, if it was plausible and actually intended to be deceptive. It's the sort of "dickish but legal" maneuver that judges will not take kindly. Similarly, people making prank videos that end up getting punched in the face when they jump-scare someone can sue, but they're unlikely to collect. They initiated it for the lulz, it went wrong, too bad.
There's no blame, there are justifiable reasons for long videos. I'm glad Youtube accepts them, as it saves having to watch multiple short videos on the same topic. What I don't like is the part about short videos becoming long ones because they pay more and because they require less editing. Fortunately, a lot of "padded" videos can be viewed at 1.5x speed with no loss in comprehensibility.
This is made worse by the fact that folks who make the video seem intent on wasting even more time with intros and other cruft before getting to the subject.
You can thank Youtube for that, since they pay more for videos over 10 minutes. Videos that would previously have been 4 minutes long are now 10 to get them extra pennies. Also, it's easier to shoot an hour of video and edit it down to 10 minutes than it is to edit it down to 4 minutes because scenes that drag get left in rather than re-shot.
That's an interesting definition of "entirely". I would say "partially" is a better word.
I'd be inclined to agree. I'd say this is as "entirely" produced by AI to the same degree as my own work has been for years, and many others as well. It's called Band In A Box, which has been around (though not with all the features it currently has) for almost 30 years.
I also have tracks where the entire composition was done by cgMusic, and I did all the arrangement and production, like this one, or where the computer did 80% of the composition, such as this or this.
To musicians in my position, who create their tracks from the ground up all the way to mastering, none of this is even remotely new. We've been doing it not for years, but for decades. It wasn't called AI, and "expert system" is probably more appropriate, but it doesn't change the way it is used or the results obtained.
So who would be "the right person"? It clearly didn't accomplish any major policy changes the lasttwo times. Anyone higher than that is even more tightly protected, since a certain famous incident in 1963 showed the need for security over PR.
Anyone successfully targeting top officials is going to have to do a lot of collateral damage, and even then, a result is not guaranteed. One thing both sides agree on is wanting to survive their terms in office.
Since the summary mentions that this is being tested in Los Angeles, how can they not mention that L.A. already has such a delivery service and has for many years now: Pink Dot? I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Amazon ends up deciding it's more profitable to just serve as another front end for Pink Dot orders.

How many of you "heard" the summary being read in Linus Tech Tips style? I know I did. It certainly read like some of their "content" lately.

Just because it's a good idea, that doesn't mean every carnivore branch has it baked into their genes.
It's not politeness, it's self-interest. Carnivore shit tends to serve as a warning to potential prey, so cats hide it. Simple as that.

Both the extreme left AND extreme right hate the Jews.
For different reasons, of course... but it's one thing that they can both agree on.
For what though, not being extreme enough? There are prominent Jews on both the left and the right, some of whom are pretty far toward those extremes.

Why is it that Windows & Linux are always getting hacked but you never hear about exploits for the Mac huh? What gives!?
Because you're not paying attention.

It's not surprising the video creators have responded this way, I would have too. "You mean I get paid more for doing less editing? Sign me up!"
