This is the kind of stuff I used to worry about before I started SSRIs. Now I can get off the train before I get to ridiculous things like world Amish domination.

That one is too good to pass up, though. A good Mt.Gox joke triggers a Waterfall. I'll start.

I for one appreciated the observation that if you're using XML for something that isn't a document, you're probably doing it wrong. I recall (perhaps inaccurately) seeing that notion somewhere in http://www.catb.or

Hey, it's fine, we'll just make another cryptocurrency that serves to back it, and control the price of that to keep the value stable. What could go wrong?!

Do you sometimes have trouble identifying traffic lights in photographs? Or perceiving character gestalts from distorted images? After you confirm your humanity to the best extent you can, proceed to reexamine your ethics.

Yikes. PDF without any of the text embedded. Can't select, can't search, can't filter. He's basically sending everyone a JPEG! I would expect this to totally not work. Maybe someone is going to have OCR somewhere in the
