You can't, say, go 85 without a crowd around you. As my ticket suggests. Granted, this was up near 92. I think the venture capital shield may not extend that far.
Also, sanmateocourt.org's online traffic ticket system only works with IE. Even months after I submitted some JavaScript to them to make it work with other browsers. How's that for public service?
This is the crux of the solution. Personal responsibility.
Your friend is a token of our salvation. When people gripe about just doing their jobs, or about just trying to get by (conveniently), or about how everyone else is doing it, what they're really doing is trying to belittle their contribution of damage.
Conflating meaning was a more important idea, I think. Like what the current U.S. administration and corporations do. Just what is an insurgent, anyway?
Regular spelling doesn't necessarily mean creating homographs, but in the case of converting English over it would, barring truly radical change. Start fresh, why don'tcha?
There really is a lot of value to getting out from underneath all the confusion of homophones/homonyms and homographs, ambiguous sentence structures, exceptions and irregularities. We should not kick out the idea of a regular language because we have a knee-jerk sense of superiority afforded by our English skillz.
* Has a grammar that is based on predicate logic, and is capable of expressing complex logical constructs precisely.
* Has no irregularities or ambiguities in spelling or grammar, so it can be easily parsed by computer.
* Is designed to be as culturally neutral as possible.
* Is simple to learn and use compared to many natural languages.
* Possesses an intricate system for effectively communicating contextual emotion.
I imagine the logic goes something like this: If I have to torture babies to get my BIOS update done, is there a way to torture one less baby by using FreeDOS?
If there's no alternative, and you absolutely must update your BIOS, then I guess you have to torture one more baby. But there is an alternative.
I'm not likening use of proprietary systems to torturing babies for the sake of condemning it, but instead as a way to clarify the idea that incremental improvements are still of value, even in largely disagreeable systems. If one weren't inclined to believe this, then one might be more likely to do things like litter, for example.
Whether you're a proponent of the spirit of the GPL and a detractor of proprietary methods is (closely) beside the point.
Funny, I just used it tonight to flash my mobo BIOS. Damned older BIOS wasn't reading the new CPU fan's slow RPM correctly so it freaked and wanted to shut down at boot. MSI had a fixed version, but figuring out how to flash it was a hassle.
Any recommendations for a replacement method for BIOS flashing?
Popularity does not equate to quality or value for price, but it often well correlates to it. At least you could use this as a starting point for investigation.
Really, it's something of a continuum, it's not binary. You can't expect all your actions in a public place to be entirely public by the nature of the fact that there isn't technology enough to record you.
Let's say you loiter at the mall. Okay, they video you hanging out at the mall and you're fine with that. You expect to be that visible — you're in public. But do you expect to have your heartrate monitored from the IR camera, your conversations on your cell phone recorded by sensitive directional microphones, and the objects of your gaze calculated from images of your eyes? And all of this correllated with other occurrences of you at other malls and stores that are shared in the master B2B "customers" database?
You have expectations of privacy in public spaces by virtue of the difficulty of recording you. That difficulty is constantly diminishing.
Imagine cameras and microphones placed every half block through every neighborhood you ever stroll through, and back them up with (increasingly powerful) image and sound processing. Try to imagine how that feels different. Wonderful day in the neighborhood?
No, it's not rocket science. Neither is it foolishly simplistic.
I'm not commenting on the specific issue of border cameras, just the mistaken notion that there is no such thing as privacy in public space.
We've all been tormented. It's agonizing. We've all tormented. The dorkiness of others brings out the "righteous" malice in us.
It's a basic social tendency, but it's unhealthy. On one side you have the promotion of groupthink, the creation of cliques, the fostering of a mob mentality where correctness is defined by conformity. On the other side you have the demolition of perfectly valid, even great individuals, and sometimes they pull a Columbine.
The right way to act is to start with values, like the well-being of people, and to promote those values with what you do. Tormenting others does not help. Fostering mob rule does not help. Conversely, hating yourself does not help.
Amazingly, I've seen a few individuals make the change. I don't know if halting the bullying or if recovering self esteem is harder. Neither is easy at all. It's just easy to get into the ugly dynamic in the first place, especially with how public education is set up. And just because you understand this doesn't mean you'll change. But it can only help:
Keep in mind that bullies are victims, too. Sounds like rhetoric, but check this out: A person's natural inclination is not to give pain to others. A bully experiences enough grief to ultimately break down their good behavior. We know it's not right to hurt others, but it makes us feel better to do it.
We all make mistakes, failures of various kinds, all the time. It's weakness not to stand up to bullies. It's weakness to dominate others to feel good. It's easy to make mistakes, but what's more important is that we care and that we try hard to do what's right. And that takes strength.
