This is almost certainly a silly question, but if I can't ask here, then who else will know?

Is there any methods out there which would let me fry surveillance cameras? EMP is a thing, but I have no idea of how that works. Can I fit an EMP into my pocket or do I need to drive a Truck worth of equipment? Is there some laser I could use to damage the lens or digital "eye" in the camera for good?

I am not a criminal, my life isn't that exciting, but I was wondering what tools are out there to combat surveillance cameras?

It certainly isn't natural by any sense of the word.

The youngest chicken possible, pumped full of saline and water so that when cooked and you cut it with a knife, the cross section looks like playdoh. It has no texture. There is no "grain" to the meat.

A chicken breast today (not fed on chemical feed) is £8-£10 each from a decent butcher or a farm.

You can get chicken breast from a cheap supermarket 10 for £2.99.

These aren't the same thing.

In the UK?

Analog Cheese, Water Pumped Chicken, Ultra Hydrated mushrooms.

If I am paying 3 pound for a pizza, I expect it to be shit. If I am paying 10 pound, I expect it to be reasonable.

Absolutely the same here and I am Scottish. I will eat pretty much anything, but even with a beer in Me, I can't handle Dominos.

Fake cheese, Fake chicken, Fake mushrooms (I was amazed at fake mushrooms) all put together onto a tasteless base.

Gives me the boke.

This confused me as well. See Izkata below your comment with a wired link to screenshots.

But I see the old reddit as well.

I completely agree and even when you just accept all this and actually get the App, it is pretty terrible (on IOS).

As in, it stops loading posts, and stops infinite scrolling, so you have to basically kill the app, then go back into it.

I don't see how that is more useful than the website or a better experience.

Also another issue is that many links just don't work. I can't see `streamable` and many others because the page that opens has no touch detection. I have to select `...` then go to `Open in Safari` to make it work.

Reddit and YouTube are the only things stopping my IPad from gathering dust.

Totally agree, I guess the apologists have business model problems.

I can only speak for myself, having never worked for massive clients with deep pockets. I care more than my employers. "does spending time on that make moniez?" "I mean...." "Then no, let's do that cool loading spinner as it is all about user experience".

Congratulations on shipping the product. I must say that it is a beautiful little thing. Good luck moving forward.

Sometimes I wonder if filling in my email, name, address and phone number does more damage than leaving the very little connected data i have.

I feel like I am going with my passport, to give all my information, along with all my emails, and all my adresses to a person who says they will remove me.

That data is going to the feds at best easily, and into a loophole otherwise. Governments are atleast a decade behind tech.

Damn I really wish I could title the book, it is on the tip of my tongue but I read the same thing.

What I found abhorrent is that the people interviewed in that book, ended up being prescribed meds by good professional Christian Doctors using all means to change their paths from evil. To avoid D&D as it was the devils work.

I would say that those parent's were mentally ill and/or uneducated and that the doctor's were mentally ill and/or uneducated.

Alas, religion.

Just for other would be developers who are too young to know.

Don't use a bad seat for 15 years and don't sit funny and not for long periods. Also find ways to stretch your leg muscles from the calf up every couple of days (A good 30 mins). Almost every time I had a major back outage stemmed from my left leg muscles which pull on your lower back when tight.

A great invention would be a seat/table which started at 0 degrees and over the course of the day moves to 45 degree recline so that weight is constantly redistributed to different parts of the skeleton.

In 2012, I was looking for mid level work (Gaming, but not entirely dependent on it) and yeah that was exactly the figure I seen. In London 40k is like 20k outside London meaning you have a bunch of Mid Level developers picking up a street sweepers wage without a pension attached.

I just don't believe I somehow missed all the decent jobs during a lul either.

Wow, in the last 4-5 years the economy has really picked up. I moved back to Scotland after working in Berlin and Amsterdam and work remotely today for a Paris based agency.

Until I read your comment, I had guaranteed myself never to work for a UK company. Will need to do some more research at some point.

Fair enough but I wonder how much of that has to do with simply being asked? Being given a bag was standard, as normal as expecting the store to be heated. An invisible service.

Now, you don't get given a bag for your Sandwich & Water at lunch, and you don't get a free bag with your McDonalds meal to name just a couple of services.

1p or 5p wouldn't make much of a difference? A Family paying 100 pound a week on shopping at a super market, can easily just spend 100.35 on 7 bags and won't bat an eye lid.

If that was 107.00 that would make a real difference and I bet the decrease would be much greater.

I have about 20 pound worth of bags in the cupboard gathering dust, 5p doesn't make a difference. They should make it £1 in the UK from now and £5 from 2020. That will make a dent.

2030 is the same as saying "Lets kick the can down the road".

Great job guys on this long journey.

I used to make Web Games, but then I realized the race to the bottom and bailed all together. I found after 10 years as a GameDeveloper (where every project is practically unique) has made being a React developer almost like using a baby's soft toy.

My job is beneath me, I sleep like a baby, and I get paid 4 times more than being a game developer for a job that demands 1% of the effort on a daily basis.

I don't miss my times with gaming at all and I would never go back.

Each to their own!

`I think of code completion and seeing errors right away as crutches that atrophies a developers own skills`

Really? You would rub sticks together for fire rather than use modern tools such as a lighter? I can't see how this reflects being a better programmer. While you are rubbing sticks, I am probably wondering how X can be improved and implementing that.

Thanks! Another great overview by this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MroGPObEZzk

An enjoyable quick history lesson showing tactics for anyone interested.

Not to take away from modern war, but Medieval times must have been really bad. I can't imagine being on the front line knowing I am probably about to be stabbed or hideously maimed at best. The march into a cloud of arrows which you can see coming in volleys would be absolutely miserable.

I find it really hard to picture myself in that type of conflict.

Yet, despite being no more clement, and that death is a constant, the idea of my D-Day craft opening up, and being raked with invisible machine gun fire is almost clinical in nature.

Airstrikes and missles are so far removed from medieval battles, it would be fair to say that you can sit in a destroyer with AC and comfortably press a button while thinking what happens at the end of your book tonight before bed. I can imagine that, but not the guilt one may feel if any.

What a difference distance makes.

That isnt far off UK national debt?? http://www.nationaldebtclock.co.uk/

I totally agree. At the very end of the day people shouldn't kid themselves in this industry. The whole thing is an evolving hack fest which changes each week. We are far closer to script kiddies on the web than we are software professionals but that hurts some peoples feelings.

I seriously believe that is pure corruption. HighSpeed2 should cost a fraction of the price being quoted as well. It shouldn't take a country decades to pay back the cost of laying down rails in such a small country as ours. I estimate 10% goes to the project, 90% goes into peoples pockets without doing a days work.

I hate Google Sheets. Pasting X lines cause it to complain a minute later that "You don't have permission, and changes might be lost". Ok fair enough... I will just import the whole file... "the file is too big please delete some columns or rows".

We aren't talking gigabytes of data. I can't wait for these shitty cloud services to be replaced with something a bit more capable than pre 1988, whatever form that takes.

I always found it also strange that in the UK, and in my small town in Scotland (and pretty much all towns around here) had electric trams installed. They were all ripped out.

Now Edinburgh has them and spent god knows how many billions on it.

I gave up on Polymer. I can't really explain it well but nothing worked as you expected it to. v2 was just hacked v1 (hybrid?) and so trying to actually figure out how to use v2 was impossible since every major custom element was hybrid. The documentation was bad, and the things you might want to use were somewhat depreciated, but you had to figure that out on your own. Then the standard glacial pace of development means that v3 was announced over half a year ago and as far as I can see, nothing has happened.

I don't see Adverts online anywhere, I have no control of that with TV?

It isn't quite the same. You don't pay a video streaming service for your connection. You pay for a connection and optionally use it for a streaming service.

You pay for TV to watch TV, you can't do anything else with it other than view it.
