We've got Batshit-Crazy like a list Barry Manilow. And, along with his two fellow stooges, Gramps and Semich, they plumb new depths of dumbfuck trolling almost every other day. Thank fuck for APster deadpool markets is all I can say - online all-the-time - point and shoot - fire and forget - launch and leave then drag and drop. Nothing takes out the trash better than this.

[spam][crazy][random] Rotary Encoder: Slightly More Productive Goal
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 12 Feb '22

12 Feb '22

As I try to move from goals that are intentionally pointless to those that have some utility, I now want to resume my project of providing a way to build a free high quality servo. Servos are motors that can go to a specific orientation and optionally measure their orientation and/or applied force. Where I'm at, is I want to make a script that generates a printout to make a rotary encoder. Servos usually use potentiometers, which are inaccurate. Rotary encoders can be more precise. Unfortunately, I've misplaced or lost my existing work. But the subgoal is quite simple: A script that generates an wheel of color according to a provided radial function. I think if the darkness of the bands on the wheels increases linearly as a function of angle, the encoder could be calibrated to measure possibly-arbitrary precision via a photocell facing the rotary encoder.

>fucking scammer, get lost Are you one of those who have a lot of supposedly "anonymous coins"?))) Or are you one of those who believes in algorithms only for central processors?)))) Or are you one of those who believes in Satoshi Nakamoto?))))) Or are you one of those who believe that states do not invest in cryptocurrency?)))))) Or are you one of those who thinks that the main holders of coins do not sell small amounts on the black market for expensive, because you need to pay back the costs?))))))) Or are you one of those who are still sure that through bitcoin and other coins, it is impossible to calculate the physical location of the owner?)))))))) why do you call good ideas a scam? Why is proof of beefsteak not a scam? Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) Secure Email.

Litigating Universal Cognitive Liberty
by Gunnar Larson 12 Feb '22

12 Feb '22

Check out a recent article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/litigating-universal-cognitive-liberty/ Litigating Universal Cognitive Liberty Freedom of thought is recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Interestingly, cognitive liberty is not recognized as an international human right. Some want to change that, making the argument that humanity has the right to be free to think whatever they want (freedom of thought). The Ottawa Citizen reports <https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/military-leaders-saw-…> that the Canadian armed forces have launched ‘psychological operations’ as an experiment in government propaganda to counter civil disobedience. International human rights scholars are quick to point out that the lack of protection of cognitive liberty in such instances is due to the relative lack of technology capable of directly interfering with mental autonomy at the time the core human rights treaties were created. Similar to a ransomware attack, the technology behind such operations can be abused. Canada is said to have exploited advanced technologies without the authority to do so. Even worse, it is alleged that Canada forcefully abused technology in the unsanctioned production of reports that appeared to be aimed at cognitive activities of Canadians. - Other reports highlight similar technologies being explored by the New York City Police Department. - In 2021 <https://gothamist.com/news/city-settles-lawsuit-protesters-who-accused-nypd…>, members of the National Lawyers Guild won $650,000 in litigation financed fees from abuse of the technology in New York. The semantics empowering freedom of thought as a human right hold new opportunities for modern international recognition of the right to cognitive liberty. -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001
