The stuff does stick because it's literally connecting with humans who are hard done by and it's always affecting. It's really sad.

I used to bait 419 scammers. Weirdly enough I actually befriended a couple of them. That was about 20 years ago. They were full on and shameless but when exposed they became more human and even sympathetic and I dropped my guard and told th

I'll take your point and rabbit hole it a bit sir.

No. The paper is about reducing a set, as far as I understand. It's not about mistakes. It's about the deliberacy of basically squeezing out the individuals who are vulnerable and who do not see the signs of being scammed.

I simply don't answer calls from unknown numbers. I feel like it's my right as a grown-up.

+1 for the word Cringelord. I have taken this and shall use it on my journeys.

As a British person I find this to be very very British.

Fair enough man. I didn't write the paper no need to hate on me sir.

How so? For me the point of the paper is the elimination of the ones who will not fall for such a scam in the first place. The title of the paper says it all. Are we talking about the same thing?

Here's an amazing study from Microsoft which I recall from back in the day (PDF): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... Edit: Recalled -> Recall

Computer viruses. Anti-virus companies making viruses happens to be one of my favourite conspiracy theories.

Damn I have one of these and it is still good shit. It's the best one I think, the Asus ROG OC edition sitting in a razer core x external GPU. I want this but does it make sense? I'm guessing it doesn't make sense as I'd

I'm down. How much?

If you blockchain your buttons they are much harder to steal. Just putting this out there for those who are not in the know. This type of crisis is easily avoidable.

I had my button stolen but it's not in this inventory. The perpetrator is still out there somewhere parading it or selling it on the black market. I'm still losing sleep over it. I lost my job, wife and car. Still praying for just

It does 100%. Might also indicate use of psychodelics. Gotta go with the science.

Whale farts be deadly.

It was just a muse. I wasn't being serious at all.

They accelerate upwards and their bubbling metabolism will compensate. If any creatures on the surface die from inhalation of the fart then the whales become awake and feed on them immediately. Slumber resumed. It's like a background c

So...it's a commodity. It's running water. Is there a way to stop the dollars flowing away from ordinary people consuming this tech, to the doomsday Bunkerist/ Apocoligarchs of today who literally give zero fucks about lives

I am a greybeard and I always find this stuff to be fascinating. Should I invest time in it for relaxation? I think I have the diablo-ish Minecraft thing on my Xbox series X. Is it worth the time?

Sorry I misread the whole conversation.

by karim79 3mo ago
What the hell are you even talking about?

by karim79 3mo ago
Understood. I now know what to do. Many thanks sir.

In the same way as Pablo Escobar was "brilliant" I suppose. By being financially successful while destroying countless lives.

At first glance I imagined this was a magic way to heal a wound by rubbing a jellyfish on it. Skin irritation be damned, this is gonna save lives. But no. No such joy.

Thank you sir. I actually got my CS from distance learning and somehow the combination of growing things and monitoring everything using CS just grabs me. I would work on any farm anywhere with appropriate agency.

Absolutely this.

True and also, the actual physical contact and results are absolute magic. Maybe we need to create a "computer scientists for botony" forum. I think that has legs. Botany is great because the results are basically what I'd ca

I grow marijuana and chillies from time to time. I got good at it. I will say that plants are malleable in untold ways and so I find this article to be unsurprising. Plants will do what they need to do in the end. I've done stuff like
