“ At 6:26 p.m local time last night, an hour or so after the last appeal was denied, Texas executed a mentally retarded black man named Marvin Wilson, a man who could not handle money or navigate a phone book, a man who sucked his thumb and could not always tell the difference between left and right, a man who, as a child, could not match his socks, tie his shoes or button his clothes, a 54-year-old man with an IQ of 61”

“ Under the new policy, the council CEO may edit the raw transcript of any council meeting at any time prior to confirmation by council, and have that used as the official record of the proceedings as confirmed by council resolution.”

At some point earlier this year there came a point where the only things left on captcha are mis-scans, words from alternate alphabets, diagrams, and genuine nonsense. It’s like one of those game shows where you can “pass” the questions you don’t know until you’re rotating through the ones you can’t answer while the clock runs out. Captcha is our game show, and now we’re all cycling through the shit nobody knows how to answer.
It took me a full sixty seconds of refreshing until I could find something I could type, and one of the words was a meaningless string of consonants indecipherable in any language. People are dying in Syria, I know, but sixty seconds on the internet is an eternity when you’re trying to get something done. What are we going to do about captcha?

A usable model needs to be found.
