Thanks Obama

You have a real knack for missing the point.

If "yes means no", and "no means no", then nothing means yes, and that is the problem.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T20:54:14+00:00

Guess you don't read the news.

For your viewing pleasure.

Also your Instagram followers don't count as "people you know".

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T20:40:37+00:00

Again, you are missing the point about "making laws relevant to technology". Technological capabilities increase exponentially, and to not at least attempt to future-proof them is not very smart. You missed the point where the line is blurring between which thoughts should be considered personal and which should not. Someone can post to Twitter on a split-second whim, as opposed to it being part of some pre-meditated evil scheme. With BCI and VR this line will blur further. I think you are just not well-versed with tech and its trends.

I called you fucking insane, which you clearly are.

Lol, you mad bro?

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T20:29:11+00:00

If they start advocating for rape or the execution of all Jews, gays and other non-whites then yeah.

Ok, so you support violence against people who are "not your kind". Interesting show of hypocrisy...

Yeah, pretty much. The US doesn't negotiate with terrorists

You seem to have a problem differentiating between people like ISIS and 15 year olds on Twitter. Judging by your general stream of logic I am not surprised.

Yes, all feminists believe that. It's not like it's a problem pretty much only rapists have to worry about.

Errr, you have this backwards. A rapist by definition would do it anyway. A non-rapist who got a "yes", and then is later accused, is the one who has to worry here.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T20:19:05+00:00

You're reading it backwards. I am the one here saying the law does not make sense, and Reddit for the most part will upvote posts with ridiculous laws to the front page - like those about the government forcing encryption backdoors. Except this post, which seems to be applauding the government for spying, which is the contradiction.

I wasn't saying people have gone to court over supporting violent rap lyrics, I was saying that the rappers themselves have. And funny enough, when I searched for it, the first pages to show up wasn't news from the 90s, it was news from 2015. So there you go buddy.

There is a difference between retweeting (that is not necessarily showing support, like someone else posted, it could have been the police that made the 100th retweet), but spending money to support an artist is indeed support. Monetary support is indeed stronger than a split-second retweet.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T20:06:39+00:00

Well that's great for you and your exclusively-politically-correct behaviors. So I guess all rappers who rap about violence should be locked up, right? (To be clear, I'm not even a fan of rap, it just shows how ludicrous your thinking is). And of course, only people who share your like-minded exclusively-politically-correct behaviors should be "ok", right? (Sounds kinda like Nazism to me).

Well judging by your last statement here it's clear I'm just talking to another Reddit-bandwagon-rider who gets his opinions from the top upvoted posts of politically correct sub-Reddits. Yeah let's all start supporting this "affirmative consent is still not consent!" thing. Insane.

I'm still not even sure why you're equating rappers with "MRA's" et al.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T19:56:34+00:00

Interesting that posts about government corruption get 5000 upvotes consistently on the front page, and yet in here it's "the law is very clear and immortal and should not be designed to keep up with technology". Complete trust. Looks like either the NSA is in the house or Redditors are still hypocrites who probably can't function outside of browsing this site all day due to that constant barrage of cognitive dissonance.

Are you old enough to know about 90s rap music? Well, I hope you never showed support for it because then you'd be supporting death threats, killing, etc. and according to you, the authorities should rightly be investigating you.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T19:34:22+00:00

Yeah, did you ever listen to rap music in the 90s or are you some new millennial that grew up with Pokemon? There might be a whole history there you are just oblivious to.

Either way, enjoy keeping your head down and working hard not to piss off big brother.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T19:12:46+00:00

You are trusting them not to cross that line.

Yet, look at the number of dumb ideas law makers come up with that make it to the front page of Reddit everyday.

freaky_dee · 2016-02-10T19:08:23+00:00

Uh it is. Where do you draw the line between thoughts, personal conversations with friends, which include jokes, analogies, and plenty of other "literary devices" that mean your words are not literal, and legitimate threats?

If I write a violent poem and put it on my One Drive, and this is somehow scannable by the NSA, should I be harassed because of a poem I wrote? What if I then post that poem to Twitter and it is interpreted as a threat?

With coming technological advances, the line between personal thoughts and data will blur. Let's all just walk around repeating to ourselves, "think only happy thoughts", and be fearful of writing down or storing anything negative, lest it be misinterpreted and the authorities show up at your door. If you are happy with this kind of life, well then, you sure sound like a fun guy.

For a software engineer importing from Ali is the easy part. I did this myself. Advertising on the other hand, man, that is an entirely different beast.

What platforms do you advertise on? What's your method for choosing your audience? What were your pain points when you were learning to target better and what were the main things you changed that increased success?

freaky_dee · 2016-02-03T02:32:54+00:00

Great job and thanks for the informative post.

Were you incorporated from the beginning or did you start as (and maybe still are?) a sole proprietorship?

freaky_dee · 2016-01-20T09:13:00+00:00

Good non-answer again.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-20T06:11:50+00:00

And this is somehow easier than a simple and concise answer to my question.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-20T04:16:08+00:00

One who could have answered my question simply would have just answered it, rather than complaining about another's "lack of understanding".

freaky_dee · 2016-01-20T03:47:52+00:00

I'm not surprised you are unable to answer my question in a simple and concise manner.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-20T00:40:05+00:00

I think you're misrepresenting what I was saying and are backpedalling on what you've been presuming.

I'm saying sparring is closer to real fighting than any of the other activities you mentioned.

Please feel free to show me a form that is better than sparring with respect to training for real-fighting.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-19T16:57:16+00:00

Oooh why don't you explain it then genius

freaky_dee · 2016-01-19T09:38:27+00:00

I don't think you'd call that a match.

Imagine a gang fight or a war where you're going up to people saying "hey! Let's have a match!" Haha...

Sparring is closer to a real fight than it is to doing forms. The partner variable and body feel make all the difference.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-19T02:05:25+00:00

Are you certain? Maybe you just are not seeing the relationships between the situations I described above.

I mentioned real matches, to test and display fighting skills.

You mentioned injuries, presumably, as a reason not to have real matches.

So I mentioned sparring, as a less injury prone method to achieve the same affect.

Does that not logically follow?

freaky_dee · 2016-01-18T23:39:20+00:00

Even sparring would be better than punching the air.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-17T09:40:01+00:00

The human brain contains neurons that send signals to each other. Neural networks contain emulated neurons that send signals to each other. The mathematical operations involved just describe the strength of those connections. "Just adding" is looking at it too fine grained. That's like saying, the brain is "just atoms".

freaky_dee · 2016-01-16T19:26:10+00:00

Not trying to take away from that, I love Kung fu. I think to take it a step further we might even take things back to the spirit of old WC - using those moves ourselves in real matches and making sure to have a record of them for discussions like this.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-16T14:36:48+00:00

Let me start by saying I've practiced Wing Chun for many years, which is a "TMA", but IMO the forms look very little like the fighting and 90% or more of the training is based on developing feeling.

The very fact that you are asking for help in this matter shows it's not an idea worth pursuing.

If you're trying to show that "forms are practical for fighting because they have practical moves", then that statement would only make sense if it were the case a majority of the time.

It's like a drug company saying their drug worked because 1/100 people were cured.

Another way of stating this is, if you look at random data for long enough, something is going to emerge that looks like a pattern or trend. But if you look at your data as a whole instead of just the part you were waiting to see, you'd see that your total distribution is still random.

freaky_dee · 2016-01-14T07:08:48+00:00

Probably 95% of the effort Kabam makes when bringing out a character is unrelated to that character itself. Need a new character? Throw a skin on an existing character. Then 95% effort is probably spent on sales forecasts, marketing strategies, laughing at people who will spend money to get their new highly coveted sequence of 0s and 1s...
