That just means you value your own ability to evade blame over the lives of real people.

Oh he’d act. He’d assist Russia and be the other Axis power.

That’s why giving out the last 4 digits isn’t safe. It’s trivial to derive the first 5 with public records and a lookup table.

No, they’ve alternated between good and bad ever since 98.

98 - good

ME - bad

XP - good

Vista - bad

7 - good

8 - bad

10 - good (eventually)

11 - bad

Just in time for SSDs to be commonplace so load times are short enough not to need them.

So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.

The IRS won’t report you unprompted, but the FBI can get it from them, at which point you’re fucked either way. If you reported it, they have additional evidence for existing charges, if you didn’t, they add tax evasion to the list.

That is painfully close to being possible to read in iambic pentameter.

Particularly one who doesn’t understand significant figures. Are you certain that you’re precisely 74.000 inches, without even a thousandth of an inch of rounding? If not, you don’t get to use 5 sigfigs when converting.

That would be an entirely new level of unethicality. Not only does it fly in the face of preservation, it’s a stab in the back to the developers who trusted them to publish their game. Imagine having made a game that you’re proud of and want to share with people, but you’re not allowed to sell it or even give it away because the megacorp that promised to do the business side of things and let you focus on development turned around and decided it will be buried forever.

Because the laws are being pushed on a religious basis, not a rational one.

This is such a frustratingly common misconception about the Planck length. It’s not a pixel density, the Planck time is not a framerate. You can have lengths that are not multiples of the Planck length. The only significance to the Planck length is it’s the distance scale where gravity becomes as strong as the nuclear forces, and physics gets weird.

Google chose to ignore the SEO arms race. Winning it is trivial, if you detect anything even remotely grey-hat, blacklist the entire domain. Forever. Then SEO stops being a thing because no one wants to risk toeing the line.

Ok, strictly speaking, the language is called the Egyptian language and hieroglyphs were the writing system used to write it (until Greek influences evolved it into Coptic). But that’s an extremely pedantic distinction to anyone who isn’t a linguist.

They needed to go scorched earth on SEO years ago. Try anything even vaguely grey-hat, your domain is permanently blacklisted from all search results. No appeals, no second chances, your content will never see the light of day again.

Model collapse is likely to kill them in the medium term future. We’re rapidly reaching the point where an increasingly large majority of text on the internet, i.e. the training data of future LLMs, is itself generated by LLMs for content farms. For complicated reasons that I don’t fully understand, this kind of training data poisons the model.

It’s like the horizon of ignorance in science. The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.

Don’t forget starvation, that’s a big one. Climate change hits your food supply before it hits you.

Even by fundamentalist/Young Earth types, it’s considered pretty extreme, but yes, literal belief in the firmament is a thing.

Bankruptcy.
