Yea, frankly the original is garbage. That photo is all about the actor having their face seen, and she doesn't even have a wicked look on her face (as you pointed out). It's more like Resting Bitch Face.

The fan art is 1000% better, it imparts slyness in the witch, and some secret thing happening between them.

I've seen better expressions in high school plays.

Who?

Yea, still don't know who she is, other than someone behaving like a child.

"Most offensive"? Oh give me a break. Her behaviour here is the only offensive element in this story.

Thanks for letting me know I don't want anything to do with you, and what show to not see.

Actors really do have majorly inflated sense of their importance in the world. You're nobody, sunshine.

Grow up.

Sorry, trying to scam your employer isn't smart. Food vouchers, not couch vouchers.

Or one of those grabber things your grandparents use, but super long version.

I didn't know roombas have such great towing capacity in c/[email protected]

This would be payload capacity, not towing.

But it's pretty awesome use of a Roomba!

Seems pretty obvious and in-line with Physics 101.

Momentum is a bitch, after all.

Take a look at some stats sometime, nothing comes even close to nuclear safety by KWH produced.

There's far more involved in solar than just solar panels.

From their About page:

Project Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a people-powered internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".

It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).

Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.

I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.

They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.

I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?

Healthcare Social Graph Scoring - Talk About Dystopian. (www.symplur.com)
 

I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.

I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.

While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
