Ha! I thought you were making a joke, but - it appears you are being completely serious.

I believe the plan was to give that sobriquet to Lake Michigan, in honour of its decidedly flaccid silhouette.

I had a problem where AI scrapers were absolutely DETERMINED to fish out every possible query string from a search results page. Almost all of the query strings they tried were invalid due to shitty and dysfunctional string substitution. "&page=100" wouldn't be followed by "&page=101", it would be followed by "&pag&pag=1010" or something even more insanely half-baked, until the query strings were like 100+ characters long. It was the technological equivalent of watching HIV mutate in real time.

But the insane thing was that, aside from page number, they were always requesting info about the same other criteria: filtered by the same user, the same page type, and with no text string. So I just took those particular values and started banning logged-out users who requested that combination of criteria.

I figured I'd need to change my tactics in a couple of days once the botnet got bored of that particular page and moved on to requesting bogus entries for another user.

It hasn't.

An Executive Order keeping magenta out of red electronics will be dropping in 3, 2, 1...

Shut up and take my money!!

That statement is idiotic.

Touch screen interfaces tend to be modal dialogs: one dialog at a time.
If the controls instead are available all the time (in the physical world), then it becomes easier to multitask.

That's "wow" as in - "Wow, they've spent all those billions and this dreck is the best they can come up as a sales pitch for their AI product?"

The Musical!

I wonder if CRISPR provides an "undo" option?

If you ban gene editing in this country, then other nations and private islands will supply gene services to the rich. At least the rich can be our guinea pigs instead of the other way around. (I already suspect Zuckerberg is a test.)

Either way, active gene editing is out of the bag and will gradually become widespread one way or another. (I already have a list of inherited flaws I'd love to fix.)

...and name it Starfleet Academy?

Cape Canaveral nee Kennedy renovated by President Donald J. Trump and paid for by the Trump Kennedy Fund.

You're obviously not an electrical engineer then. ;-)

911 also gets automated calls from alarms, some of which are false alarms.

Just like social media, 911 is also stuffed with bots.

You're assuming he has brain material left.

It's chewy brain-jerky for zombies
