There are already plans for metadata signing. I think some high end Canon cameras might do it already. It basically allows proof (via public private key of the hash) that a particular camera took that photo.
The idea is that you can create a chain of custody with an image. Each edit requires a new signature, with each party responsible for verifying the previous chain, to protect their own reputation.
It’s far from perfect, but will help a lot with things like legal cases.
Agreed, it has its limits. Trying to get a library karaoke session going, to reduce exam stress also ends poorly.
I found a secret. Normal people also feel like this, they are just better at reading the ambient rules.
It turns out, if you project your own mindset with enough confidence, they will sync to your rules. No need to figure out the rules, when you’ve already redefined them to suit yourself.
Apparently the chains started when he was a bouncer. Sometimes people would lose them, while getting kicked out. He would wear them, so that had to come and ask him politely for them. His collection built when they were either too scared, or too egotistical to ask for them back.
My brother laser fits into the same basic role. I paid extra for the colour version however. The key is that laser toner never goes bad, unlike inkjets.
One of the more depressing bits or research related to this. When estimating, “normal” people are excessively optimistic (aka rose tinted glasses). Depressed people were a lot more accurate in their estimates.
It turns out we need those blinkers to not tear ourselves to pieces over the state of things.
I love the fact you can just switch to desktop mode and have a (mostly) fully functional Linux install.
It’s not just they let you do it, they set it all up for you!
For many places, your signal isn’t the bottleneck. It’s the back haul from the tower to the main internet. 5G won’t help if there’s a straw connected to the fire hose of 5G.
Lack of time sense is a common symptom of ADHD. It literally breaks your internal metronome. Judging time becomes a lot more difficult.
While it can be overcome, it requires good awareness of the underlying effect, and continuous effort to counter it. It’s basically the equivalent of asking a paraplegic to just pop upstairs.
Yes some people are just inconsiderate, but some people just honestly can’t do it very well.
Conspiracies need to be small and self contained. The more people involved, and the longer it needs to hold, the less likely it is.
E.g. 9-11 being a government conspiracy with 1000s involved in the cover up? Likely false. George Bush getting info about an imminent attack, then having the info buried, since it would be useful? Far more plausible.
In this case, the elite standing in lockstep to cover their own arses is quite plausible. It also fits that the group is already too large to keep the conspiracy contained, and so information is leaking like a sieve.
Going down in a blaze of glory.
I have both forms. The inner monologue voice is a common learned way of thinking. For me it’s a way of testing how things sound, before using it in public. It also formalises ideas for memory.
Below that, I have my mindstream. It’s the active amalgamation of ideas, images and concepts that forms my intellect. It’s difficult to map to language, since it’s not bound by language.
The inner monologue is useful, but not required for intellectual thought. In fact, it can be a detriment. It’s hard to process things, when you don’t have the language for it. It is, however quite useful for presenting ideas. An inner monologue lets you practice what you will say, and how you will explain things to someone else. I’m autistic, so I often need to preprocess what I am about to say. My inner monologue lets me test if it’s “socially inappropriate” (aka batshit insane) before it comes out my mouth.
I suspect both websites are maintained by the same team (assuming they are maintained). For one of the (supposedly) most technically adroit countries in the world, their ICT is truly crap.
Oh, it also only worked in native Chrome. It went weird in Firefox, and apparently also played up with chromium.
ADHD makes you more intelligent in the same way that being chased by a bear makes you a runner, or having kids makes you a morning person.
A weaponised intellect is a useful counter to ADHD. We also tend to be built differently. Think tank Vs car. This makes us abnormally good at certain tasks, at the cost of others.
Poor impulse control, novelty seeking, and unlimited internet access tends to explain the rest.
USA visa application is hellish.
Login is convoluted, and breaks password managers.
It has a global time out somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes.
On timeout, it lets you work, until you try and go to the next page, then just forgets you exist rather than saving.
You can’t save pages that aren’t completely filled in.
Some pages can take 20 minutes to fill in (it gets detailed, and you dare not mess it up).
Oh, and it breaks pasting into some boxes, so no prewriting it in another document.
As did the vikings. The long term results were generally an improvement however.
Looking back at the history of England. We have had wave after wave of immigrants/invaders. Each wave brought a period of tension. That period was followed by a period of innovation.
The new people, with new views means old ideas are re-evaluated. New skill, flavours and modes of thought became part of our culture.
Even our language improved. Part of English’s power is the level of nuance with word choice. A loft of that comes from melding multiple root languages in.
They are goons, but programmed goons. If you play to the programming then you will get their desired response. By forcing them outside their programming, they have to improvise.
The smarter ones realise shooting first is a bad idea, politically. The stupider ones just want out, and notice the smarter ones seem similarly inclined.
Staying within the programming is a lose-lose situation for the protestors. You need to get outside the patterns to get new results.
It’s also worth noting that this is a very American thing, not a universal one. Your police are very broken, and in desperate need of an overhaul.
All should be equal under the law. A peasant and a king must follow the same rules, or they simply lose meaning.
If they did the crime, they should burn for it!
