What about facing the remote downwards so its profile doesn’t block as much light?

Or is that unpractical for some reason?

It’s all fun and games when we use pocket dimensions to store data.

Until you consider the poor beings in the entire universe that will be wiped out by the vacuum decay left when we read the qubits used for the storage.

There’s the New York Subway if you can stomach the smell

How long before a swarm of undead cuckoos ala Zelda comes at them?

Terminator, terminator 2, commando, running man, twins, total recall, ….

And I don’t own a teee veeeeeee

Yeah but they’re representatives are hot and having sex. So it’s hard to keep focused.

Then they’re other representatives are old and stern. Makes them afraid to suggest anything they didn’t suggest first.

And there’s the reason for the focus.

Vulcan scientific monitoring devices intended to capture the outcomes of the various things humans have done.

For later analysis and then proper controlled studies to validate the findings. Which explains why Vulcans have adapted some of the warp tech identified by the federation and not others.

I agree. I mean when doing secure channel communications or weapons systems or health biometrics.

There are cases where you need to be sure of the integrity of the data and environment

And so you add a hashing check. But then that can be removed.

So you need one in the OS but that can be removed.

So you need one in hardware.

In other words no matter how clever you are there’s always a way to monkey with something unless you have absolute control from silicon on up.

Here’s a really interesting video the Xbox team did on the challenges of trying to make sure that the content running wasn’t pirated.

While DRM is the bane of everybody there are cases where trust and integrity is important and it’s an intriguing look into how hard it is to manage.

It’s a reference to exorcist where the priest, holding a crucifix, says “the power of Christ compelled you”

The power of Christopsomo compels you

Ah yes. The wave-particle duality of man

And the dreaming void trilogy. So crazy.

Believe it or not the detective storyline ties in.

As for the detective she’s methodical but wait until they get into her background too (which will offer some insights as to why)

I like the series but he can be a bit wordy. In the end Hamilton pays off but I completely understand where your coming from.

Thanks. Inflation… ya know?

Here’s a nickel kid… go fix your comment.

[fixed]

So, uh, can I get that nickel back?

How about this?

Is the image purely decorative/e.g. if the picture never loaded does the audience miss out on some piece of information? If not then empty alt text suffices (this is less applicable to social media posts)

Otherwise imagine you have this picture and you’re telling somebody on the phone about it.

You’re not going to go into a full description of every element

“a small child on the left side of the picture is picking up a maple leaf with their index and thumb and handing it to the person on their right” who is a 50-60 year old woman with dirty strawberry hair and wearing horn rimmed glasses”

That’s too much and doesn’t “convey” the photo.

And you wouldn’t say “kid hands something to another person” since that’s not enough.

Let’s say you have an article about the fall and all the fun activities families can partake in. What matters is that it’s a young kid showing their grandma a leaf.

So something like this “Young child and grandmother at City Park. He is handing her a newly fallen leaf”

Or, if it’s an article about children nature education programs then it may say

“Teacher and a student in the park. The student is presenting a maple leaf to the teacher”

If it’s a post about your kid it may say

“Timmy showing his grandma a leaf he found while playing at City Park”

Howza, howza, howza meats…. Ba-ba-ba-baloney

No best friends… a few acquaintances and occasional meetups at the market though.

Not that they’d bother putting in the effort to testify.
