Ok, I did not realise it had happened off the field. It should only have happened why apprehending him, and obviously it shouldn't be over the top.

That's not what I said.

Many men go topless at the beach, why should women be treated any different? How does that relate to someone (male or female) going nude at a sporting event where no-one expects anyone to be nude?

No you're right, it's not what you said.

What you directly implied was being seen naked by a minor, in a non-sexual act, constituted a sex crime. Shit we better make some changes to how public changing rooms at pools, gyms and other facilities work right away.

My point is context. Do you expect to see someone naked in a changing room? How about a shopping mall?

I quoted wrong before.

Context needs to be taken as well. Adults tend to put their view on it which makes it look bad.

Well done on spotting my hyperbole, I was kind of hoping your call for it to be a sex-crime to be much the same, but I guess not. We have laws that deal with nakedness in public spaces (public indecency) and laws that deal with sex-crimes - there was nothing sexual about the streakers actions, thus it shouldn't be considered a sex-crime.

If they'd run onto the field and started masturbating then sure, but they didn't.

I do see where you're coming from but taking from what pixie said how does a context of non-expectation of nudity automatically make it a sexual act?

Cool short story about super speed:
Flicker - Phone Tag

That's not a short story Ls, it's the first chapter in a 170k work novel. But there's a prologue before it as well, which you didn't mention.

Streaking at sports grounds has happened for decades. Whilst I wouldn't expect to see a naked person every time I went to a sports ground, it's not entirely unexpected.

Besides, it's a naked person. So what? People who take gross offence at streakers are in the same basket as people who take offence at public breastfeeding IMO. They're being offended at what they opine as a sexual activity, when greater opinion states it's not. They're unable to see boobs, willies, and fannies in a non-sexual way.

So DSE wonder why they are in liquidation.

Perhaps it is the lack of attention to detail? I remember the old days when the shop assistants knew about electronics, and part of the employment process form thing even included a section on part identification.

Attention to detail, like sending out yet another mailer (2nd or 3rd this week?) offering 20-50% off...

I'm too old to know how these tumblr books work. Regardless, it's works great as a standalone chapter.

I thought it went into liquidation because some investment group wanted to make a bunch of cash by overstating its value and making bank selling shares?

They're not even trying any more, man.



Still, I got a reasonable deal on a new Kindle. I feel safe because they have a Cashback Promise*.

Catch up grandad. Those $50 hdmi cables were not actually worth $50

Couple of new words of the day and it's only 9am: pyrocoupler and emissivity. Not even iOS knows that last one.

They also did not understand the term inventory control or management.

Pro-Tip - When you are a major international retailer with long lead-time, own-label and cyclic products, do not pay your supply chain people peanuts.

The irony is strong in this one.

Oh yes, gun loaded, with the safety catch off, lying on the back seat with a 4 year old.
Yeah Momma!

that level of irony gives me a big chubby

Could microsofts Continuum be a thin client killer? I'd like it to be so.

My random act of annoyance for today: sticking hard drive magnets through someone's order book.

We've all heard the "The computers and machines will put us all out of jobs" mantra. And it WILL happen. The question is how far away is that?

This author thinks it's just about on us.

So once dominoes pizza have their pizzas delivered by robots, all they need is an automatic pizza oven and boom: no more pizza guys.

Also ... In deep learning game play a machine takes many samples of games and finds the trees that provide better outcomes.

How to do this with conversation? Find all the random coversations that people have had with the likes of Siri and take the discussion chains that resulted in the longest continued human back chat as the better outcomes. Hell, you could turn this into a captcha challenge program: "which of the following sentences make sense" or ... "Which answer is the best responce to this question" ...

go home max you're drunk

Exchange in the Cloud is going to put mail admins out of a job quicker than they think.

I could argue that the purpose of my job is effectively putting other people out of theirs, because ~50% of what I do at work, is automating the simpler (but as time goes, more and more complex) areas of their jobs. These are jobs that require years of experience and a decent level of intelligence to do well (involves critical thinking etc etc)

So yea it's definitely happening.

I think there are some jobs that we really don't want to automate. For instance, I don't think we want to automate our legislative or political processes.

We probably don't want to have machines making decisions about how our societies will be structured for us. We probably don't want to have machines making decisions about what our laws are. We probably don't want to have machines making decisions about who gets to make our decisions. If we hand those things over to machines, well, I'm going to need a clean pair of undies, mate.

(This is the reason why I want to do a PhD in political philosophy).

Won't be long now . . .

So today I was tortured by having chunks excised from my leg, and what's more, I was stupid enough to volunteer for it.

So I've posted before about having type two dieabetus. I've volunteered for a study that involves a couple of baseline measurement sessions, then today's session (Biopsy 1, insulin clamp, biopsy 2).

If someone asks you if you want a biopsy from your thigh, I recommend you politely decline. If they want you to take TWO biopsies in the same day from the same leg? I recommend questioning their parentage and lack of honour, followed by punching them in the nads (it's less painful then the fucking biopsy).

Anyway, now that the biopsies are done, I get a free 5-days-per-week gym membership and personal trainer, from Tuesday next week, every weekday for 12 weeks. It'll be mon/tue/thu/fri mainly cardio, with wed being weight training. Because it's a clinical study they do lots of measurable exercises, such as exhaustion runs and 1RM/10RM - so far my best on the leg press is 7@310kg - I'm under the impression this is quite decent for someone that's not done any weight training any time recently.

Also as an added bonus they're MAYBE going to extend the exercise portion by another 4 weeks, apparently 12 weeks doesn't really allow enough time for the proteins they're testing to exhibit full effect.

Oh yeah, what the study is actually testing: the impact of two different proteins (keratin based and whey based) and placebo, on muscular glucose uptake and insulin efficiency, when combined with exercise, on people with non-Insulin dependent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

quite a few people seem to be going on that test. interesting to know you've just started it when others i know finished it a few months back

There's multiple similar studies apparently; this is a pilot study (currently only 7 guinea pigs so far, including me).

The people you know have probably been involved with related but different studies.

im glad i got into a job where....



ah fuk

The Internet ruins everything, episode 24970452

http://distractify.com/geek/2016/03/...itter-ai-robot

It took 24 hours for Microsoft's AI bot, designed to learn human communication by interacting with people on twitter, to go from "Hello World" to "I fucking hate niggers" and "FUCK MY ROBOT PUSSY DADDY I'M SUCH A BAD NAUGHTY ROBOT"

google: No results found for "u just activated my hardware" -microsoft

not sure how it made that sentence.

Unless the outcome is like the Neal Asher Polity Series. AI's running the show, making decisions "for the greater good of the greatest number" and allowing more freedom to those who want it (without hurting others).

for a derp like me, can someone explain whats actually going on here? i dont understand how this AI is supposed to "work"

lolz
