Click the squares containing a street sign. Does that include the tiny top left hand corner of a street sign? Does a nameplate on the front of a house count as a street sign? The nameplate of a street? Or does it just mean traffic street signs? Is the pole a street sign stands on counted as part of the street sign? Is a traffic light a street sign?

Click the squares containing a car. Does that include a car size van? A four by four? A truck?

Click the squares containing a road. Does that include that inch wide strip of tarmac next to the wide grass verge you're showing me?

Perhaps, after all, I am a robot. Beep.

Have you had one of the super special ones where you have to draw a continuous line around a fucking street sign, yet? My phone refuses to cooperate with those dicks. I hate them.

"Type in these letters that you can't fucking see".

"Forgot to tick a tick-box way up there on the form? Then you'll have to do your captcha again, good luck Angry".

Does the pole count as the street sign?

No. I feel a bit cheated now. I'm one of the commoners. Sad

There are proposals to develop better ways of authenticating ...

I got the drawing the continuous line one. WTF? I didn't pass.

But mainly mine has an obsession with shop fronts/vehicles/apartment buildings. Some of the apartment building don't look like apartment buildings. So annoying.

I start to think well I didn't want to look at that website anyway.

Thanks. So this would happen:

" A VOPRF protocol allows a server with key x and a user with input y to evaluate F_x(y) for some PRF F, without the user learning x and the server learning y. This is the oblivious aspect of the construction. The verifiable aspect allows the user to verify that what is returned by the server is a valid pseudorandom output from the PRF. That is, to prevent the server from returning some input that is potentially not random. "

Why didn't I think of that?

I had this the other week when I was trying to order food from one of those takeaway apps. I was steaming drunk and managed to crack it after a couple of attempts! I was a drunk hangry robot Grin

I have a vague recollection about helping with the digitisation of books (something about if the majority of people read this set of squiggles as the same word, then it is almost certainly the correct word that has been transcribed)

But I can't find anything about it online, so I'm pleased someone else might know about it and can help my fuzzy memory

Oh I hate these! Especially the food ones. 'Click the squares that have noodles in them'. Cue a load of plates with some piles of indistinguishable mess on them that could be anything.

The letter ones are worse, I go cross-eyed squinting at them!
