Old but if you haven't seen Making a Murderer you should give it a watch.

It reminds me of how musical artists would let people vote on their next venue, and 4chan would find ways to make it a school for the deaf, or the inception of Boaty McBoatface.

What makes you think this?

This is a wonderful piece of art. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. Made it the thumbnail for the post!

I can certainly relate. I remember disassembling mechanical things as a young kid and it always bugged me that there was this digital level of design that I couldn't physically investigate intuitively. Then once I started programming I remembered initially being disappointed by the concept of scripting/dynamic language. It felt like if I tried to imagine the twinkle of the 1s and 0s as they moved around the machine the patterns would more divorced from the physical hardware. Probably not an accurate or valid abstraction but it is the model that I mentally interact with at a high concept level. I've grown more partial to dynamic languages since then but only as I've come to terms with the underlying mechanisms. ADHD needs solid walls to bounce off of and having a interpreter that exists in this virtual environment doesn't naturally capture my trust. So in my hubris I doubt the veracity of the tools and learn that it requires a context change to dig in to the lower level of the issue which is demoralizing as an ADHD person. And now because I want to mitigate future context change I spend a lot of time forecasting potential context changes and quickly get overwhelmed by my own efforts.

• To be or not to be
• But that's not the question
• How to be me
• If I'm more than a profession
• Won't leave me be
• If only to form a question
• While I try to want to be
• So I cope with the trope
• Choke on their smoke
• And pretend I learned their lesson
• Wait for a rift in the grift
• And not drift into depression
• Hard to try an ignore the lie
• So they can worship their myth
• To give their false confession

Here it is at about the 2:10 mark.

Lol it falls completely submerged to the bottom of the ocean.

One of the GIJoe movies ends with an underwater arctic base being crushed by ice that is dislodged from a bomb blast on the ice shelf above. Neat except ice doesn't sink. I'm sure there are all manner of inaccuracy in those movies but that one really stuck with me.

I have used this site to buy monitors and displays. They are generally pretty objective and provide thorough data and they often document their methodology.

I got a little over halfway. I feel like most of the critique you are going to get will be skewed by the issue of your voice not being very clear. Seems like the mid tones get really muddy and requires me to focus on trying to figure out what words are being said rather than what is being communicated or even what's on screen.

They are tracking you even in incognito with a VPN and even across services. People have been using these types of tools for a very long time and porn sites have been tracking people all the while. Basically your devices have enough unique attributes accessible through JavaScript API like make model, screen resolution, bluetooth radio capabilities like ble, connection speed, etc. Basically brute force every data point available in the API and use the results to build a profile to recognize you. Tools like https://modernizr.com/ while not exactly intended for this still make it easier.

Yeah our coverage maps look pretty good too. However, in practice the service can be very hit and miss... mostly miss.

I am pretty sure 4g isn't really viable for most rural areas.
