@lavenderlens I think this is the first time the internet has made me feel ashamed of my personal life. 😂 So I'm working on a project, and so my dinner was a block of parmesan cheese and a 2 liter bottle of coke. There's no way I'm showing off that Michelin star meal. 😂😂

@freemo Sounds good. 👍

@freemo Interested.

@skyblond This is exactly why I build my own libraries and modules. Debugging other people's code is so frustrating.

@freemo Well this instance is pretty awesome. Stay humble though 😂

@gaurav whoa you're from Nepal! I have plans to go there next year to motorcycle tour the Himalayas. How's the weather? Getting cold?

@gaurav it's good 👍 you might want to take your car to a nuclear physicist though, it seems to have a sun forming inside it.

@NehaKhazanchi I think that might be one of the keys to happiness in our time. The ability to take a step back, and laugh at what the world is doing.

Right is red, left is blue
Center caught, between the two
Oh my country tis of thee
Fighting hard relentlessly

This land of free, free for fights
Brave men hath die, for these rights
"All men created equally!"
But we're not, so tragically

Born of want or born in wealth
Born with strength or failing health
Then we're taught by those we trust
To fight for that in which we lust

If what we love, the others loathe
In hates expansive, endless trove
Mother father sister brother
Split amongst one another

What we want is what we got
To feel alive all while untaught
To feel so smart, to feel so just
To feel control, to feel the thrust

But feel we may, the feeling numbs
For when we hear those beating drums
What we need will all be lost
Expiring beneath ye permafrost

So this is us, a high society
With our lives irreparably
Not alt Not red not blue not me
Check my card..
Independently.

@rgesthuizen oh you're just full of good suggestions eh?

@rgesthuizen Oh boy, I have no Masters degree. I've read that it's possible to get one without a masters, and I probably qualify. I think I could pull it off in 4-5 years in computer science provided I start as soon as I've retired. But what a fantastic idea! 👍 I would sure love that journey.

@NehaKhazanchi Wildest one I've come across is the "birds aren't real" conspiracy. Oh those tasty government surveillance drones. 🤷

I remember when I learned that earthquakes generated sound, I was fascinated. When I realized earthquakes ARE sound, mind blown.🤯

@mguhlin @edutooters hey this is awesome.

I'm sure this game could be repurposed to calculate real world scenarios. I've never seen a game that looks this complex. I'm very intrigued. I'm also suspecting my intrigue will cost me a few years of my life. Worth it?

@TheStrugglingScientists

#5 was obviously researched by someone waiting for:
A) a program to compile
B) a video to render
C) a ham to roast
D) a package delivery

If I watch the episode, and don't find it's one of these, I'll be disappointed with humankind again.😁

Wikipedia usually will cite sources, however can be interpretational text or misrepresented from the citation. If you get the data closer to the original source, it's easier to validate.(official answer)

I agree, while it's complete crap, I found it easy enough to scroll to the bottom of the Wikipedia page, click the link to the corresponding citation, and voila, use the source from which the page was referenced.(official loophole)

Remember, one more click for you is one less click for professor Lazy Pants.(unofficial answer)

Have a good weekend Stephen 😃

@nomi I know, I'm playing the "what if" game. 😂 Ajax just allows for requests and responses without reloading the page, and even it's outdated now. But data still could have been gathered at the request level. That's been happening in the request and response headers for an eternity. I think the real reason is using SQL, storing data in 2 dimensional tables would have been a serious nightmare to conglomerate data, vs. storing it in multidimensional noSQL which wasn't around. Tables are fine for large volumes of the same data, but when you have large volumes of types of data, it's enough to make anyone cry.

I'd like to think as dynamic as Geocities was, and with the amount of stupid images and content hosted, they had the server ability to pull it off. Developer wise, they did pull off making a WYSIWYG in browser page editor. If they could have done that, they could have done this.

Sure, one can argue that Google could just crawl Geocities and scrape that data too, but Geocities knew who the users were, and could've directly targeted them, Google still can't scrape a back end.

But the ability for users to easily dump their own content on to the internet has always been #1. WordPress makes up over 75% of the entire internet. Google only scrapes 5% of the internet. Ergo, if the WordPress backend sent user/usage data to 1 central system, that system would most likely crash instantly 😂 But if it didn't, it would have more data on society as a whole, than Google / Meta / Amazon / Microsoft combined. Geocities was like the original WordPress. It was garbage, but had they done it right, they wouldn't be owned by Yahoo, I think they'd own Yahoo. Google would still be bigger because they went horizontal and vertical at the same time while everyone else was focusing on vertical growth.

Hey sorry dude, I didn't mean to type this much but I love playing out scenarios of our past. Next time let's both just trash Myspace as a team beat down. 😂

@admitsWrongIfProven
Perhaps there is a plot by "the big diaper industry", to control quality defecation availability ratios throughout a consistent scale. If we consider that it becomes socially acceptable for all ages to wear diapers, and the average age of potty training is 2 years, and bladder control loss is 65, there is a massive untapped market, that could grow their industry far beyond the likes of big tech, and big energy. As a data scientist, it's perfectly plausible for "big diaper" to subsidize different markets in restricting excremental venues to slowly decrease the social stigmata of sporting disposable undergarments.

While the philosophical ramifications of poop are largely overshadowed by other social issues, we mustn't flush what we cannot perceive, and we shouldn't wipe what others believe.
