Knoebels Amusement Resort [0] in Elysburg, Pennsylvania has been there since 1926. I'm sure there are many other examples of pre-1950s amusement parks. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoebels_Amusement_Resort

The amount of money they set aside only allows for 248,000 people to claim the $125 compensation. That is roughly 0.2% of the total 147 million. Seems a bit off to me, but then again I am not familiar with these kinds of things.

I immediately thought of Bitcoin when reading the OP. It can, and has been "hard" forked via miner consensus. That is, of course, one level removed from git, but I guess git"hub" could be more like gittorrent or somethin

Despite the fact that I might not be a rich man in this country, I am a very rich man in this world. I feel quite lucky and grateful to have been born in the USA. But to be fair, that was not a very good wage for where I live.

I worked for Amazon in what was then a brand new warehouse for a few months in 2015. I worked 10 hour shifts, from 20:00 to 07:00 (the extra hour was for lunch and breaks). My job was picking orders. It seemed easy at first (and it was, but

Check out this talk by Chris Gerlinsky at 33c3 (2016)[1] about how he went about cracking the encryption of cable/satellite television set-top boxes. It is a very detailed talk, and he goes into detail about delaminating a ROM chip and

The closest we have here is methadone. I am proud to say that I have managed to stay the fuck out of Kensington for almost three years. I could not have done it without methadone.

Well, given that it is open source software, have you ever considered contributing? I'm not trying to be dick. I know that just because you can spot flaws doesn't necessarily mean you know how to improve them, nor are you obligate

I'm confused. Doesn't the article say that Apple similarly prohibits ad blockers from their app store? And besides, installing a "third party" apk on an Android phone is trivial, and there are third party "stores&qu

I don't think the author was trying to suggest that people stop using/developing ML/AI. I think the point was that ML is not some kind of black magic panacea, and that a smart programmer is often more valuable than a 'sm

I don't have Tourettes, but I am a drug addict. I can relate to what you said about it being voluntary but compulsory. Although I know no one believes that using heroin is involuntary, I know they wonder why I don't just stop. And

"Facebook is already on our phones and computers, pestering us with notifications." That quote from the article really baffled me. Facebook isn't on my phone or computer pestering me. That's because I choose not to use i

When I was an active heroin addict, I would do a small test shot of new product before doing a normal dose. If it was too strong, then the match-head sized shot would get me off, and I would know to go easy on it. If nothing happened, I wo

Some of my friends started using Twitter back in 2008, right when it starting gaining traction, so I tried it out as well. I quickly grew bored with it and didn't use it until earlier this year. I tried it again, encouraged by its popu
