As engineers, we should never insert proprietary interfaces into our designs. We shouldn’t obfuscate the design.

The motivation for these toxic practices comes from the business side because it’s profitable. These people won’t share the profits with you because they are psychopaths. Ultimately we are making more waste when electronics cannot be upgraded, maintained and repaired. It’s bad for people and it’s bad for the environment.

They like to cha-cha real smooth. But not too smooth.

Iranian diplomacy operates along the lines of a Jinn. Every move feels like a Faustian bargain. You ask the Jinn for a giant penis and it gives you a giant penis attached to your head, then disappears in a puff of smoke.

BilboBargains ,

The Americans are the sinister and mendacious psychopaths of international diplomacy. It’s much less nuanced and not very interesting.

BilboBargains ,

I don’t have any suggestions, just want to say thanks for making this stuff. It’s very cool.

You legend

It’s the banking equivalent of turning your device off for aircraft take off and landing.

If you keep doing stupid shit for long enough you can turn it into a religion. Huge profits will follow. It’s also why the unexamined life is no life at all.

Alcohol

BilboBargains ,

Yes but this time we legalise all the other drugs. Huge profits.

In all seriousness, no drugs should be illegal and healthcare and education should be freely available. Universal income. We would need to make conservatism, lobbying and billionaires illegal.

💯% the title ought to be immaterial or at most a loose guide to credibility. We examine the measurements and observations and propose a hypothesis that doesn’t need to violate the laws of physics to explain what we saw. Anybody can do that but scientists and engineers are the obvious choice. Everyone else go look up the Dunning-Kruger effect.

BilboBargains ,

Have you tried reducing your alcohol consumption?

I use Android but how much for the finger?

Fake eclipse glasses are hitting the market. Here’s how to tell if you have a pair (www.cnn.com)

As the total solar eclipse, occurring across Mexico, the United States and Canada on April 8, draws near, experts are reminding spectators to grab a pair of eclipse glasses to view the celestial event safely — and to make sure they aren’t fake....

Use a VPN. ISP are being disingenuous when they claim a data connection is unlimited at the point of purchase and then slug us with restrictions when we try and use it. If they can detect a tether, the VPN should obscure it.

How is it that we’ve created a society where scientists are subordinate to lying narcissists and psychopaths?

American Bible Society to close its $60 million museum after 3 years (www.inquirer.com)

The museum created by the American Bible Society in July 2021 said it would be open to visitors until March 28. The Christian ministry nonprofit that translates Bibles and sends them around the world has recently been besieged with challenges including layoffs, funding troubles, and five CEO changes within two years.

What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars?

I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She’s been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won’t last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?

BilboBargains ,

And not as good

BilboBargains ,

I’ve had far more joy driving a Merc than the shitbox Corolla that got to 100k and threw it’s piston rings. I went back to the dealer to ask them if it’s normal to top up the oil in between services. They looked me straight in the eye and said it normally consumes 1litre every 6k. It failed a short time later. This was after I spent weeks fixing a water leak into the cabin.

The reliability of Toyota and many Japanese brands is inflated by these type of shenanigans.

Depression. Concealment of behaviour and time spent in the game. Withdrawal from normal social relationships. Prioritising the game over other activities such as self care, personal hygiene, etc.

I had a wooden car. It had wooden wheels, wooden chassis and wooden engine. The only problem, it wooden go.

Space x was handed NASA research, knowledge base and state handouts. Must be nice having those type of friends.

Thanks NASA

It’s all part of the NHS War On Mental Health. The plan is remove treatments that conservatives don’t believe in because they can’t see them. They will take those savings and use them to extend the lives of terminally ill people in persistent vegetative states because life is sacred and needs to be protracted and painful.

Caipirinha. Made with cachaça, sugar, and lime. The drink is prepared by pounding the fruit and the sugar together, then adding the liquor.

BilboBargains ,

I would imagine you can find safety flaws in anything because safety isn’t a thing we can measure.

BilboBargains ,

What are the units?

BilboBargains ,

Safety cannot be measured because it’s a feeling. One person feels safe climbing a mountain without a rope and the next person is petrified. Safety is just word to describe a concept. It’s different to the wavelength of light or force or charge. These things are based on fundamental properties of the universe that can be measured and are repeatable.

A reasonable approximation might be to consider the likelihood of an adverse event given a use case over time. We could say that an accident every million hours is our definition of safe but that is completely arbitrary in the way that the physical laws and constants are not.

BilboBargains ,

I take a lot of risks but never with yo mama. I always take my time with her.

BilboBargains ,

It’s a measurement on an arbitrary scale. Nothing I’ve said is news to anyone who designs safety critical systems. I’m certainly not saying that safety isn’t important or that we can’t assess it. What I’m saying is that placing a number on that assessment will always stray into the realm of politics in a way that physics and mathematics never does. It lulls ignorant people into the belief that something is safe or not safe. They feel safe because they’ve been told it is safe or vice versa. Physics doesn’t care if you feel safe.

It’s notable that contemporary safety standards such as ISO 26262 generally avoid numerical assessments, for the reasons outlined above.

BilboBargains ,

An assessment is not a measurement and safety is not an SI unit, deal with it bro.

EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers (ec.europa.eu)

The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users’) through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from...

Woah, eat shit Apple

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...

Ah yes, the classic centrist position. Why does it matter if the government performs mass surveillance if you have nothing to hide? Why does it matter if I drive a huge and inefficient car? I can make all these choices secure in the knowledge that I never do bad things so they never occur as a result of my actions.

Swipe on. It’s okay if you don’t understand how this stuff works.

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’ (www.vice.com)

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’::The New Zealand-based seller issued a notice to its Australian customers that shipments will continue regardless of the government’s vape reform.

Australia going full retard again.

They are an excellent and well understood harm reduction measure compared with smoking.

Don’t take any drugs, wish them away. Failing that, start a war on drugs. Prosecute the war for decades with nothing to show for your efforts aside from a pile of bodies and organised crime.

I would take the bullets without the gun and the fuel without the motorbike. Then I would proceed to tell people about these mythical machines, forming the basis of a cult, bada-bing bada-boom, take over the world.

You should always point out abusive behaviour but making ultimatums is not a good strategy, unless you’re ready to take the nuclear option regardless.

BilboBargains ,

I would like to purchase one crime please

BilboBargains ,

Yes. I don’t want my effort to be dedicated to death and destruction. Imagine you’re the guy who designed the iconic Tomahawk cruise missile. You can’t mistake that profile. Every time you see or hear about one of those things being launched you know there’s a good chance many people are going to die. Who wants that on their conscience?

BilboBargains ,

It is in the nature of people to fight and exploit others. No pacifist society would last long without weaponry. Hence, we need people to make weapons. I’m also an animal lover who eats meat and recognise the hypocrisy in my position.

The trouble with weapons is that after we’ve made them we are no longer in control of how they are used. I would rather use my talents to improve other people’s lives but I understand why people make guns.

BilboBargains ,

I like the taste of micro plastic. Is there a way I can get the rich flavour of my plastic without getting cancer?

BilboBargains ,

Get out

When you’ve put out the oil fire you can use it as a leaf blower.
