Scrape a bunch of Onion articles, link them together in an index, then post an invsible link from your home page that spiders will follow but humans can't see.

Write a script to randomize the words on all the articles and link them in too. Then change the image tags to point to random wikimedia files.

If there's one thing we've learned, it's that there's very little quality control. Channel your inner Ken Kesey / Merry Prankster. Have fun.

Phones have had accelerometer/gyros for a while now. Problem with pinpointing one's location is how to get a starting fix and how to deal with drift and loss of signal.

The way devices have dealt with it is to periodically confirm and baseline with a satellite fix.

If this method does away with all that, it could remove the reliance on overhead signals and those trying to jam them in hostile zones.

Pretty cool. Lots of potential.

Holi Puppy!

Somebody will take a sip.

Was waiting for Nio to make it state-side. Now, not so sure they will be allowed.

We have an annual contest to see who spots the first Xmas display. So far, the earliest has been mid-September.

Toss-up between, Costco, ACE Hardware, and Daiso.

At this point, do they really need to be in the same room?

"... As a great CEO..."

They got a PhD in science from a well-known university and worked on research for a while. Last I heard, they got married and ended up selling real-estate.

Don't know about kids, but "Clifford, the Big Red Dog" sure traumatized Grandma.

On the Mac, I can run MacOS, BSD Unix, and via VMware, Windows and Ubuntu.

On phone/tablet, I can build an app that works on every mobile device of that class shipped in the last 6 years.

On Windows and Android, I have to test apps across a massive combination of features, and even then, there are some with strange configurations that will break the app.

Reminds me of project CHIP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer)

Hooefully, with better economics.

Don't do what they did: https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wells-fargo-fires-more-than-a-dozen-employees-for-faking-work-using-mouse-jigglers-and-keyboard-simulation

I bet they forgot to rig the webcams, microphones, seat weight sensors, and infrared desk presence trackers.

Is this like people offering to pay artists with 'exposure?'

For starting basic structure, have had good luck with Plottr. If there's a complex timeline, Aeon Timeline is pretty handy. And once ready to write, Scrivener.

They're propping each other up.

They could make Siri change its voice and Genmoji based on the degree of certainty of the response:

• Trust me: Arnold as Terminator 😎
• Eehhhh, could be bullshit: shrugging old man meme 🤷🏻‍♂️
• Just kiddin' here: whacky Jerry Lewis 🤪

They could sell different voice packages. Revive the ringtone market.
