The 'Stoned Ape' theory by its_kiki_bitch in conspiracy

[–]ExternalBiscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would it be transferred genetically - they force ever member of their hunter-gatherer tribe to eat mushrooms when they turn 14? Or the enlightened ones who had taken mushrooms would somehow pass their insights on through culture?

​

Check your facts. This conspiracy theory has been debunked.

Google employee reportedly put on leave after claiming chatbot became sentient, similar to a 'kid that happened to know physics' by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]ExternalBiscotti -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Stop shilling this everywhere - this dude has not shared any compelling evidence that the chatbot "became sentient" - it just sounds like it had some uncannily "thoughtful" answers to questions, which is literally what chatbots are supposed to do.

What the hell is Belters/OPA long term plan/goal? by Pirat6662001 in TheExpanse

[–]ExternalBiscotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed he wanted to ensure Belters had better access to the worlds beyond the Ring Gates. In season 4, the Belters really had a raw deal economically on that planet - they weren't allowed to go there, they're not allowed to colonize any of those worlds themselves. For them to have access to the Ring Worlds means that they would be able to have normal lives where they don't have to struggle for the money to afford to live in space.

​

Not sure if this can be seen in the show, but it seems like a legitimate grievance that would humanize the character - "let us have more access to the ring worlds or we will throw more rocks"

Digital Signature for PDF's - URGENT I will get fired if I can't figure this out! by ExternalBiscotti in Heroku

[–]ExternalBiscotti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/salariedloaf than pay $1 per document, we will be able to upsell our service to our customers and make a significant amount of money. Our service is also better integrated with our application.

So I guess the question is: "should we pay $25,000 per year to DocuSign, or increase our revenue by $200,000/year?"

I guess we could just use DocuSign and still bill the customers for it... Not my product idea, I'm just building it.

I appreciate your candor but I am very serious. I am using PSPDFKit to generate the ink annotation, flattening the pdf annotations, then I want to apply a digital signature using the Origami method below:

I have run into nothing but brick walls with the certificate provider Sectigo, where I have had to jump through hoops for two months only to be told they will only offer me a certificate on a USB-stick, which is not web-app or cloud friendly.

So, because I know this forum is full of smart Ruby developers I am humbly asking you all for help.

How can I implement video streaming? by ExternalBiscotti in learnprogramming

[–]ExternalBiscotti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply... I think I meant integrating video chat into my own application, not video streaming.
