I could, but I personally feel anyone foolish enough to use my blathering deserves the unfortunate consequences.

My idea was for people who felt strongly about keeping their stuff away from the big maws of AI.

'Last thing I remember

I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Relax," said the night man

You can check-out any time you like

But you can never leave!"'

If these companies were serious about on-site work and how much better it is, they would pay for time while commuting and transportation expenses.

Had totally forgotten about the movie. Grew up reading the graphic books.

Just checked and both the movie and the old animated TV series are available on streaming. There goes my day.

Some Costcos still have them. Used to send checks and cash to the back office once they hit a limit. Guessing not so much any more.

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.

Not long before they install sealed, air-conditioned walkways for the well-off.

The others... well, best of luck.
