wear a hat/beanie with IR LEDs, you need a few frequencies of "IR", but it's invisible (or barely visible) to humans, but it's the same as shining a light into a sensor to a "machine". could have it built in to a jacket collar, too. you'd have to wear pants to foil gait detection, too. Something with a lot of angles and squiggles that is hard to see as "distinct" against the background.
I use CC for most of my "work", and it's pretty clear to me what "commercial" means. If someone uses my work to earn any money, then it's commercial. Unless they contact me and explain why it isn't, then i can grant them a license that allows them that.
This is only relevant if the CC is CC-NC, otherwise commercial use is "ok". it's pretty straightforward.
it is a lot of fun and rewarding to do this! I've done it several times for medium-sized datasets, like wikipedia dumps, the entire geospatial dataset to mapreduce it (pgsql). The wikipedia one was great, i had it set up to query things like "show me all ammunition manufactured after 1950 that is between .30 and .40" and it could just return it nearly instantly. The wikimedia dumps keep the infoboxes and relations intact, so you can do queries like this easily.
Do you have a write-up of this somewhere? When I last looked at the Wikipedia dumps, they looked like a mess to parse. How were you getting structured information?
True story, and keep it in your hat if you know it:
I was expelled from highschool about 3 months in to my freshman year for doing this on the library computers to bypass the librarian needing to log us in, because the Mac lab printers weren't working and the report was due next period. Librarian was like "nah i'm on lunch" so i waited like 15 minutes, bypassed, printed, exited windows.
She was fuming, shaking showing printed papers with "autoexec.bat" showing an edit time[1] while she "was on lunch" and i "was the only one in there".
I actually got expelled from that school 3 times, twice for "hacking."
[1] hold shift to get to MS-DOS without restriction, edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to comment out the "security" "software" line, reboot. remove the commented line, reboot.
That commercial could have been any attractive woman without changing the tone or meaning. it just drives some people crazy that a subset of humans "controls" like half the land on earth but comprises only 7% of the population, therefore everything about or having to do with that subset or the individuals therein is automatically considered "bad."
There were commercials that had jingles "bust a nut, bust a nut, just open up a can and bust a nut. you can do it in the bathroom, you can do it in the kitchen, you can do it with your best friend [...]" nearly 30 years ago. Commercials are generally in poor taste, but some people read way too much into it.
It's the political zeitgeist. If it were the Biden years, I think it would have been interpreted differently.
One of the reasons why it blew up is the relative silence from American Eagle and Sydney Sweeney, both of whom took their sweet time to respond to the negative press. They were likely pressed to figure out how not to piss off either side of the electorate. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Their silence felt like affirmation of the accusation.
The follow up with other models from other races was good, but it came really slow. The damage was done by the time they figured it out.
wood gas is still explosive gas. be careful; but it does work, for things you'd use propane for, at greatly reduced efficiency and probably longevity of any moving parts. with wide variance. including your lungs.
if you google your name (or handle, every hacker needs a handle, man...) it goes through double that, if memory serves (i might be off by a factor of 10 either side...)
i ran my whole house network off a laptop with the specs of a raspberry pi 2 for a really long time. I finally broke and moved it to a VM because the laptop's built in port and USB were finally too slow to route traffic, 11mbit USB! It took a decade+[1] of "innovation" in the US before i could finally buy internet faster than 11mbit. IIRC i switched to VM based IPCop in ~2007.
[1] My first broadband connection was in 1998 at 768/768 kbit symmetrical. My first megabit speed connection was in 2006 or 2007. in 2010 or 2011 we got VDSL and it was 16 whole megabits. Now i have 300mbit on a good day, and 150mbit on a bad day.
I literally wrote the guide on how to use old hardware with VM tech to route your house, first with ipcop[2], then generically[3], and just this week i wrote a guide on how to get ipv6 working with starlink and dd-wrt[4].
ETA: it is hilarious how much pushback i got about doing all of this in a VM, just scant years before "you should just use a VM for that" became the default answer, and a decade before "just put it in a k8s cluster and pay someone a quarter million a year to babysit it" became a thing...
also ipcop booted and installed off a single floppy forever
