The outlier where name recognition on the ballot is not an advantage?

I know nothing about this other than I thought it was a joke at first, but I think it's the same idea https://github.com/RapidataAI/human-use

That talks about getting some kind of free feedback out of the human for free.

Now we have to find the next level and condition the human to pay to respond to questions.

It seems like an idea bad enough to pay $10 to downvote? Or should that be good enough?

This is great!

I made an attempt at something similar, but putting it online was a bit beyond what I know how to do.

Not OP but the EPA has a calculator for estimating emissions to energy consumption. https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calc...

>(I wrote an extensive suite of software to track this)

Interesting. . . do you have a page for the project or anything?

No it’s internally used. Think of it like archive.ph but with text extraction and a diff like interface over the text.

I once wrote a ~2,000 word draft,on an alpha-smart ($6 at a goodwill) and then couldn't get the transfer to computer function to work correctly, so I had to rewrite the whole thing because I wasn't gonna sit there and manually re-type three lines at a time from the grayscale LCD. The subsequent draft was actually better though, so for this reason I would recommend such a device. It's also a fun novelty thing. Really though, if you keep getting distracted from your writing, maybe consider if it's because you don't actually have anything to say?

Writing things twice is actually a technique for improving quality.

Yeah this one is funny because it's literally the stated mission of several U.S. based Zionist/anti-antisemetic organizations.

You are probably thinking this means life will be more like that Jack Kerouac line "the mad ones..." I am imagining how what you describe plays out is more like a billion reality TV stars all trying to one up each other.

It will probably be a mix of both. "One-upping reality star" is still something of a genre in itself, and it turns off a lot of people.

IMO it's very possible to convey authenticity via video, if you know what you're doing. I'm thinking of someone like Dry Creek Wrangler School:

This applies to carrier locking, not their practice of preventing bootloader unlocking on devices sold by Verizon, correct?

There's some annoying parts to using it, but the query tool for the Air Force Civil Engineering Center's CERCLA records database is otherwise good and information dense, IMO. https://ar.cce.af.mil/
