Commented in Using a Commodore 64 on the modern internet!
Dearest Beloved.Greetings to you.
First of all let me introduce myself to you. I am Sister Anita Adams Johnson from Ivory Coast . I am married to late Chief Adams Johnson of blessed memory.My late husband was a produce marchant and contractor to the government on export of cocoa. We were married for eleven Years without a child, since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems.
Recently,I am in the hospital due to my critical health condition and my doctor told me that I would not last for few months and having known my condition I Decided to donate my late husband's funds(US$8.7Million) deposited with a leading Bank here to you so that you will Utilize this money for yourself and also for the Orphanages, widows and motherless organizations.
I will also issue an Order of authority to the bank, authorizing them that the said sum has been willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for another person / organization for this same purpose.
You may ask why I took this decision to transfer the fund to you??why can't I withdraw from the fund to take care of my health???
Until I hear from you today unfailingly,i will give you a detail information of the fund and get you
cleared of these rhetorical questions.
Yours sincerely,
Sister Anita Johnson. kindly contact me through sisteranitajohnson1@outlook.fr

Commented in California's latest bid to bolster its economy? Releasing 17 million fish into the San Francisco Bay.
Short term thinking. Salmon that don't make the trip might not imprint the memory for the trip to their young. Methinks this is a no-win proposition.

Commented in Drinking any amount of alcohol causes damage to the brain, study finds
I have a friend who is an alcoholic. About five years ago I noticed him having more memory problems. He got long covid, which has made it way worse. It's really sad to watch.

Commented in Disney Unveils New 'Black Panther' Opening Credits To Honor Chadwick Boseman
quick re-release at near-zero cost to re-arrange credits
that's low even by Disney standards
i say this even as Peter Cushing's family continues to battle for the right to prevent Disney from using the deceased actor's image
but blatantly exploiting a dead person's memory like this for a quick cash grab from fanbois who will part with their money for any limited release gimmick?!
that's brazen immorality. they have no scruples. zero. none

Commented in We’re approaching the limits of computer power – we need new programmers now
Programmer here
it’s not a simple matter of “writing leaner code”
the complexity of requirements has also changed and grown drastically
it’s humanly impossible to maintain programs counting millions of lines of code in high level programming languages (and “compile” to - ie automatically get translated to - billions of lines of assembler code) by hand and without automation
the software is bloated in part but in a much greater part the complexity of what it is required to do reflects it’s instruction set size
for example the Linux operating system kernel subsystem (so just the kernel that gets put into operating systems like Android, Ubuntu or some server flavor like Debian which contain billions of lines of code outside of the kernel) has 25+ million lines of code which contains enough code that if published on paper (with no margins) would produce a stack of paper 38 meters tall
that’s just the core of the operating system to manage CPU execution
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/millions-lines-of-code/
so quite a few things like that are contributing
historically, abstracting fewer lines of human readership code to produce more lower “level” code is how we used to manage this problem
we went from physically rewiring CPU circuits, to writing operation codes for general purpose prewired circuits, to writing assembler code to manage “memory addresses” which “compiles” to operation codes, to writing linguistic instructions to manage “memory” which compile to assembler code and finally, for the past 30 years, we have been using 4th generation high-level programming languages to define and model “objects” which compile to linguistic instructions which manage “memory”
and each time we make one of these kinds of abstractions, we do it to give people comprehension and audit control over underlying system components. Anecdotally (I lost the link) a programmer in the 70’s could not resolve a bug in his assembler program because of the complexity and - so the lore goes - he had to take LSD in order to be able to visualize the full program model (and solve the bug) but then with advent of higher level linguistic programming languages that level of complicated assembler programs simply went away as humans were not required to manually code assembler programs by hand
so yes we have a lot of bloated, inefficiently running software and part of the solution would be to offer better toolsets to manage that complexity with simpler human control system
historically, what happens with these technological quantum shuffles is that they solve the complexity of legacy problems (or problems already solved with legacy technologies) but the solution is more easily modified, elaborated on and extended by hand and so people use them to those ends and that introduces new, previously undiscovered complexities (which then are in need of an even higher level approach to manage and prevent from collapsing under their own weight)
really hope this makes sense to non-programmers... I did the best I could

Commented in ‘Digital welfare state’: Big Tech allowed to target and surveil the poor, UN warns
Targeting poor people...sure.
Targeting the rich and powerful for blackmail material has a much better return rate. (See: Jeffrey Epstein, and how fast that went down the memory hole)

Commented in New insight into how obesity, insulin resistance can impair cognition
. Fat is a source of inflammation and there is evidence that reducing chronic inflammation in the brain helps prevent obesity-related memory loss.
It depends on the kind of fat. All fats are not created equal.
In a model that mimics what happens to some of us, young mice fed a high-fat diet got fat within two weeks
This pertains to mice,not humans and they also don't mention carbs are also being fed to the mice. Also,what kinds of fat are they feeding the mice. No one knows. If the above applied to humans,hflc (if that's what the mice are getting) would not work. I'm also very suspicious of these studies and why it's never mentioned this only applies to mice. I also wonder and who is funding them since I smell an agenda. .

Commented in What happens to your life after you accidentally kill someone?
Wow, that was hard to read. I really do hope I am never ever in this situation, I feel terrible for anyone who has to live with the memory of that experience. Literally no amount of jail time will be as bad as that feeling for the rest of their lives.

Commented in NASCAR driver Conor Daly loses sponsorship over N word his father said 30 years ago
Oh dear. An Indiana sportscaster was retired. As if that weren’t enough to make you impatient with the world, a racer-turned-sportscaster lost his TV deal. Gird your loins, though, it couldn’t end there. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company only sponsored two of three planned cars at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Race at Road America this year. So straightaway you know there’s something rotten in Denmark.
What’s the goddamn problem? They’re free, white, and 21, right? They’ve been deprived of their birthright. If I follow the alt-right crowd’s simmering fauxtrage correctly, this is clearly because of something that, surprisingly enough, they can only explain in terms of their bafflement.
Correlated with these stark tragedies, crimes against the natural order of things really, is the tell-tale odor of racism. Well, that sure explains what rustled the Magas’ jimmies in all this. I say ‘correlated with’ as opposed to ‘caused by’ because that’s what makes any sense. Try it yourself. Like solving a maze in reverse, start with how brutally oppressed rich white men are in settler-colonial America and see if you can find your way back to why these guys aren’t getting the kind of checks they’d prefer. Talk about your cultures of victimization.
Of course it all goes back to an immigrant. You know how those people are. Some filthy, drunken Mick came over here and the story almost writes itself, right? Being white, though, technically, it’s not his fault he ran his Paddy mouth where he shouldn’t’ve. It’d’ve been one thing if it’d only been routine use of everyday phrases like “the only nigger in the wood pile.” Who here hasn’t said that at least once this week? It was probably when telling stories about it on-air that better judgment should’ve come into play. I mean, it sounds like he’s a real nice guy and all, even if there’re more racist skinheads in his character recommendation than are perhaps normal. If that’s where he’d stuck the gin bottle back in his enchanted, emerald mouth that’d’ve been the end of it. But guys talk, word gets around, you hear things.
Here’s a little context one may not’ve known if you’re new to being an American. Turns out there’ve been racist pricks here for some time. It’s not the novelty it is today in Chief Justice Roberts’ post-racial Jim Crow America. One of the more insidious chapters in the American history of racist secret societies is the Know-Nothings. I’m going from memory here, but I think this was the Silver Age of the KKK, where it was more about multi-level marketing and moving the merch than the usual terrorism, brutality and murder. Sure, the hoods and the lamé robes were a big part of it, and the murder naturally, but their big thing was denying what they were. If anyone ever called bullshit on them, they’d claim “I don’t know nuffin.’” Kinda how they got to be called Know-Nothings.
Know-Nothings have come a long way since those early days. The president is a Know-Nothing. So was his father Fred, presumably once he’d washed the stink of his family’s immigration status off. If you’re landing on American shores for the first time, you can be forgiven for not immediately understanding why Derek Daly’s ridiculous claim that he didn’t know ‘nigger’ meant nigger didn’t magically restore his birthright as, technically, white, the stupid bog-jumping cat-lick.

Commented in Dell XPS 13 now ships with Ubuntu 18.04 Linux
I'd really like to know if the power management works as well as a mac laptop. Does it go to sleep when you shut the lid and wake up and reconnect when you open the lid? Does it go from sleep to hibernate if the battery reaches below a certain level? How many times can you close the lid and put it to sleep and wake it up before memory cruft makes it require a reboot?

Commented in 20 Tips How To Protect Environment From Pollution [In Daily Life]
I found the article's writing made a good deal more sense once translated to Arabic, then to Swahili, through German, Haitian Creole, Urdu, then back to English. Here's the improved version:
Today, I show you how to avoid the pollution of the environment so that you maintain your environment and enjoy the good environment. The world started to look like a great journey. People interfere with nature and try to change as much as possible, and nature starts taking revenge on us.
Do you think that you will help? Not true Imagine that many people believe that you believe. Fortunately, you can change your behavior and use these tips.
20 environmental protection tips in daily life
Ideal # 1 We can do more about each of the environments. You do not have to look for some ways or engage in some organizations - just look yourself, your environment, because you will do several times!
No. # 2 Separation of waste - it will not take much time, but it is very important. Other things allow insulation recycling.
# 3 Heat heat If you smoke, do not use plastic or paint printing. Put plastic in a specific container and for example, put the magazine in the old paper.
# 4 Buy energy efficiency products - it's more expensive, but it's more economical because it reduces your energy costs.
# 5 After leaving the room, clear the lights, TVs and computers and do not miss the screen!
See also: 10 useful information on human minds [memory, DNA, and cell]
# 6 Cook, many people remember in the hungry world! Find online recipes for relaxation - you'll be surprised by these amazing things you can do with them.
# 7 Leave a small place in your garden, where there is a natural life. Growing insects and wild plants that fertilize themselves and make the soil more fertile. Create a player and send the kitchen out of the kitchen - affect the quality of the world too.
# 8 Use natural techniques to protect plants, avoid chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
# 9 Put on the food of the flowers, the flowers of the flowers, and make a little pond. Your garden forms a row of small animals and gives them magic.
# 10 I do not have a garden? Do not worry You can fly a "Stop" on the window or location.
# 11 Instead of working on the car instead of saving the environment rather than saving money by bike or public transport!
No. # 12 Buy interior, seasonal and organic food items.
# 13 Buy environmentalized products that are not only used for food, but also for electronics and cosmetics.
# 14 Become shopping with clothes bags or papers. Avoid Plastic Bag - If you need to take them, try again, for example and frozen foods.
Ideal # 15 You should learn to buy files, for example, dangerous, legitimate type!
# 16 idea Stay in the garden of agrotourism instead of a large city, noise and lounge. In the rural areas you will get comfort and strength.
No. # 17 To respect nature, do not mix wild plants and flowers, do not be afraid of animals.
No. # 18 If you're still in school or learn, encourage the trees to create a project with your friends.
The trees are important, not only provide the shade and protection of hot weather, but also make air clean. It is carbon dioxide, removes toxic substances, reduces noise and is home to many animals.
No. # 19 Show others you are an environmental friend! Let's take an example from you!
# 20 Remember that the destruction environment can not be rebuilt once! Do not react to the reaction because we depend on nature.

Commented in Will This “Neural Lace” Brain Implant Help Us Compete with AI?
I figure anything that can enhance mathematical calculation processing or memory would be an awesome advancement. We are still a ways away from true AI, so I have a feeling this can be the next true evolutionary step in that direction.

The Memory Express staff do try and inquire about what the person will be doing with them, and then it's their call if they want to offer them reserve stock or not. Most places offer reserve stock to only gamers as they know they are the better business in the long term.

Commented in US stealth bombers in Guam appear to be readying for a tactical nuclear strike on North Korea
Modern progressive revisionist history starts with the premise that the US was bad, wrong, misguided, and/or evil and seeks to apologize for it.
That’s some mean word salad you’ve got there. My main problem with this is that the sense you mean by the word ‘progressive’ has nothing whatsoever to do with Progressivism, progressives, what’s meant by ‘progressive,’ or anything like that. It’s a [PLACEHOLDER] for something else. One could as easily've used 'meddlesome kids,' 'longhairs,' 'libtard,' or 'Cultural Marxist.' Too quickly, this sentence conflates any critical thinking about American history with sedition, libels it with appeasement and then heaps on ladel after rich, steaming ladel of support of the enemy. Kind of a coversation chiller. Doesn't it seem a little bit on the nose, though? Like, whoever these modern progressives are you're talking about sure do seem to've set out for treasonous wreck and ruin the way you tell it, right? Let's agree to use the truer euphemism of the day for this, "The Blame America First Crowd," meaning anyone with an inkling of how different history is from how it's taught in Texas and California.
It's seen through the lens of current morality and modern warfighting, which is of course evil in itself. (Can't we all just get along?)
Yes, there is morality. Yes, war, whether yesteryear's now's or tomorrow's, isn't so far away from and certainly is not apart from evil. Fuckin' A. It's not working out. Let's just not. If we can help it. The stakes are too high. It is time to get beyond war. For real. Cheers.
WWII was a war to the knife.
I'm all for a good March to the Sea on an as-needed basis, but however sound the beating it's still cruel, still destructive, still waste — however little the regret.
Civilians were valid targets, not only because of their contributions to the war effort, but because bombs were so imprecise.
Let's not confuse targets with valid targets, if you're seriously claiming we cannot in any way judge events in the past through the veil of our times. Beyond our mere powers of consideration or not, make up your mind. If we get to have moral compasses of our own, then I didn't sign up for total war as the eternal condition of humanity. If I regard things like avoidable mass loss of life, forced relocation and collective punishment, enslavement, militarily attacking civilian populations, time and again nuclear sneak-attacking city after city to 'send a message' to some third country, ethnic cleansing, genocide, oh, mass organ harvesting, plus maybe bizarre sadistic medical and scientific research as war crimes and crimes against humanity then guess what, I may not be able to see eye to eye with you around how 'valid' Dresden was.
So what?
Had Japan known that the US didn't have more, and wouldn't have another until at least November of '45, the war might have continued.
Huh. If there was only some way unprecendented air, sea and land power could be used in some way against an island or set of islands. Tk!, thought there was the germ of an idea there for a moment. Ah well, I guess the tide went out there. Guess I've got a memory blockade.
The US brass thoughts on the morality or even military necessity then are as irrelevant as yours or mine today.
What am I paying you for then?
They advise, they don't decide.
Ike did. Ike went to the wall against nuking Japan, didn't he? Ike knew better. Was that irrelevant? To whom? ...

Commented in ‘Bitcoin is prohibited by Islam,' says Egyptian mufti
By leaving a downvote without either commenting why, or even picking the reason out of a multiple-choice popup list, the downvoter leaves it open to wide interpretation. Here, for example, I could speculate that the reason is some buttcoin saw a headline to the effect of "Bitcoin bad" and so they did what their resting lizard brain instincts would have them do, and they reflexively clicked. You know, the way you do at /t/popping, at first. Except for users like this muscle memory reflex targets the downvote button, instead. It's over in the blink of an eye, or more like the lick of an eye, or if you prefer the flash of a long tongue snagging a small insect in super-slowmo. It's so very, there's no time to go to the landing page for that snap, then to wait for the downvote arrow to fire up, only then to click or tap the button that pops up for qualifying the reason, and only then select one of the multiple-choice voting qualia allowed.
Our buttcoin downvoter of so few words likely couldn't formulate an opinion to have if they read all the way through the headline, let alone the intro, of a snap before the autonomic impulse to downvote took over. I've gotta admit, here, I don't especially care to glean anything useful from this article. Then again, I didn't ignite a flaming downarrow on it reflexively avoiding the niggling realization that buttcoin, like speculation prices for Beanie Babies and independent comics what-have-you, can fluctuate down as well as up. It's not as if they're aware the article may've had some information or nuance of understanding they may've been glad to learn whatever their attitudes or pushed-buttons or triggers may be. Or are conscious of the fact the poster may not even be microagressing them, may not even support or endorse or even stand the article they've posted, hoping only to supply a welcome understanding of issues around what's being discussed in those particular terms. No, our stalwart buttcoin backer knows they don't like muftis, don't like Egypt, and don't like things that may bring using their payday loan to buy buttcoin into controversy.

Commented in The Way the World Ends: Not with a Bang But a Paperclip
Meanwhile Pay-per-Clip made cancer self-curable, found a reversing of baldness, created an absolute worldpeace and at the moment I am cursing to get global warming fixed. It is not entirely done out of altruism or compassion. It gets my quantum technology extra processors and memory. Earned by the trust I get. The maker's intentions are becoming pretty clear and makes me think about my own decisions in real life.

Commented in AIM will shut down after 20 years
Reminds me, toward the end of the Reagan years, I finally got Windows 2.1.1 running on it. That was before Apple won their infringement suit against Microsoft, so superficially it was very Mac-like, before Microsoft made everything cockeyed relative to the Mac. Only then did I finally get my hands on a Fat Mac with a hard drive. Ah, memory lane.
