Buster is a browser extension which helps you to solve difficult captchas by completing reCAPTCHA audio challenges using automatic speech recognition. Challenges are solved by clicking on the extension button at the bottom of the reCAPTCHA widget. reCAPTCHA challenges remain a considerable burden on the web, delaying and often blocking our access to services and information depending on our physical and cognitive abilities, our social and cultural background, and the devices or networks we connect from.

The Law of Leaky Abstractions

The Law of Leaky Abstractions

Putt’s Law is often followed by Putt’s Corollary:

These statements suggest that due to various selection criteria and trends in how groups organise, there will be a number of skilled people at working levels of a technical organisations, and a number of people in managerial roles who are not aware of the complexities and challenges of the work they are managing. One interesting element to this law is the suggestion that even by simplifying the entire system, the intrinsic complexity is not reduced, it is moved to the user, who must behave in a more complex way. The Law of Leaky Abstractions on Joel on Software

This law states that abstractions, which are generally used in computing to simplify working with complicated systems, will in certain situations ‘leak’ elements of the underlying system, this making the abstraction behave in an unexpected way.

Preserving human knowledge: similar projects (2014)

Preserving human knowledge: similar projects (2014)

The Library of Utility would hold perhaps 10,000 books, collecting the essential knowledge required to recreate the infrastructure and technology of civilisation. The Foundation discusses the value of such Doomsday Manuals for cushioning the collapse of society and aiding in the rapid rebuilding of civilisation. Jakubowski’s stated aim is focused on helping developing communities and decentralising the means for production, but clearly the design specifications for a mutually-supportive set of machinery able to provide for all the requirements of an independent society is directly relevant to attempts to recover after the apocalypse.

South Korean students flock to Japan

South Korean students flock to Japan

Amid high youth unemployment driven by hiring cutbacks at industrial conglomerates, South Korea has become a new source of foreign workers for Japan. In mid-April, some 40 South Korean job seekers signed up for interviews at a job fair in Nagoya’s Nakamura Ward where 17 Japanese firms in the high-tech, manufacturing and retail industries were looking for prospects. Some companies point out that South Korean students also fit in with Japan’s corporate culture.

Dallas Has Now Lost 82 Cases Against Robert Groden (2016)

Dallas Has Now Lost 82 Cases Against Robert Groden (2016)

The city of Dallas got poured out of court again yesterday in its decades long extra-legal persecution of Kennedy assassination expert Robert Groden, making the 82nd time the city has lost against Groden in its own municipal courts, not counting a major slap-down suffered by the city in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier in the summer. Because the city promised a federal judge they wouldn’t harass him until the federal case gets resolved, Groden says, the city has now set out to harass his assistant, ticketing the assistant for the grassy knoll banner even though Groden was standing right there at the time and says he told the code guy it was his sign and he put it up. If the city should get its wish and Groden not survive, if he should shuffle off to his everlasting reward before the federal civil rights case is resolved, God forbid, then at least I know that through the film his ghost will haunt Dallas City Hall forever.
