ISIS has/had for a while a really good recruitment program that identified and groomed Muslim ideologists. I have a distant relative that was married to such a Muslim man. He was recruited by them, eventually proclaimed himself a member, and to make a long story short will now spend most of the rest of his life in jail.
I think it would actually be kind of cool for somebody to add a counter to the corner of the screen that shows a best guess estimate of how many loops it’s been.
Aside from one or two movies like Tropic Thunder, I feel like Tom Cruise is largely the same way. His movies have largely become a playground for him to fill his Adrenalin lust with crazier and crazier stunts.
Cost of living is way too high since everything other than pineapples & coffee has to be imported…
I wonder if this is just a necessary legal/regulatory step in order for them to start running Virtual Power Plants in the UK. There was a recent article stating that they recently ran a successful test of a 100,000 node VPP in California. Up until now I’ve only heard of them being 1000-2000 nodes, so that test is a massive improvement.
I’d be wary of one or more colors fading over time unless you are VERY careful with how you print these. Being monochromatic, QR codes don’t have such issues. It would likely also be easier to recover a faded QR code than a colored bar code.
I hate to break it to you but not only does Cloudflare do this sort of thing, but so does Akamai, AWS, and virtually every other CDN provider out there. And far from being awful, it’s actually protecting the web.
We use Akamai where I work, and they inform us in real time when a request comes from a bot, and they further classify it as one of a dozen or so bots (search engine crawlers, analytics bots, advertising bots, social networks, AI bots, etc). It also informs us if it’s somebody impersonating a well known bot like Google, etc. So we can easily allow search engines to crawl our site while blocking AI bots, bots impersonating Google, and so on.
