You did not provide enough context in your original statement to distinguish between sarcasm and sincerity. Any sufficiently good old stupid statement is unrecognizable from parody.

States can get their hands on things for criminal investigations. Or they can get that data in the infectious disease database but usually that’s carefully anonymized into general steps of ten… But this… This is some messed up shit

Gotta get those high quality gains to lift more than the McVeigh’s

Reddit blocks VPNs on desktop…

Oh gosh… It’s basically stock market spam

DDG is still the best.

Stop asking this same question repeatedly.

You can do it. I use a powered USB hub and a raspberry pi, and 5 hard drives.

It is a mess of cables but was simple enough.

I also sprang for a UPS because most filesystem’s I tried like zfs and btrfs didn’t appreciate random brownouts from running 4 drives off the pi itself.

Right now they’re xfs and used for a minio install and torrent storage

A CSPRNG is more than random enough for a playlist xD

Take it from someone who works in the field - computers do random well enough rotflol

CSPRNGs are a thing…

As are radioactive sources

And there’s mathematical tests for whether something is random enough

So no, computers really can do random xD

Not so much defending as offense…

I’m inclined to believe the local PD knows the addresses of officials… So they let this happen on purpose.

It’s the Hulu model

You and I might be talking about different things.

I mean that humans don’t like theoretically true random, as a cool side note

You seem upset about one implementation

Also, shuffling and having something appear near even though you throught it was shuffled is part of that finding patterns

Humans think real random isn’t random 🙃

It’s wild but they see patterns

I wonder what this arrest tells about the average stupidity and hubris of the population, given sampling bias of “people who got caught” and “people who were newsworthy” as factors before “people who should have kept their mouths shut”

That’s an awful number of people without shelter.

Higher up the food chain, needs more food

Sooooorta

You’d expect them to double check it with multiple sources

Not just take another country’s Intelligence at face value

“Especially the Dutch” - Nigel Powers, Austin Powers, goldmember

… That’s what I just said. Are you a bot?

Writing to your representative is a form of lobbying

An unsolicited expert opinion is lobbying

What’s messed up is the amount of money to run and that citizens united made unlimited funds possible

Congressmen always worried about the cash they’ll need to get elected

If there were term limits we would have faceless corporate buyouts with little experience, vs someone running on name recognition

Heck I want a campaign finance max limit.
