Think of dropping a water balloon onto a pin. It pops instantly, but the water (like the temperature and overpressure) takes a while to dissipate into a puddle.

The past 40 years we went from pinball and arcade machines, to most men playing some sort of game on a personal device (phone, console, computer etc). I could see the next 40 years capturing women in the same capacity given the right infrastructure and content.

Cutting someones breaks requires physical access to the hardware.

Changing: if (brakeDepressed()){ engageBrake(); } To: if (brakeDepressed() && currentTime < '5/6/26 4pm EST'){ engageBrake(); } Can be deployed to thousands of vehicles, and would stop brakes from working during peak commute time on the East Coast.

I would definitely argue the opposite, that China is the larger threat.

They want control of Taiwan and are building way more capable hardware than Russia has.

What if in the time between initialization of cosmic_ray to False, and the time this if statement executes, a legitimate cosmic ray flips the bool bit representing cosmic_ray?

The cynic in me things the Dems take the legislative branch next year, curtail executive power but are unable to undo anything and then win a massively nerfed executive position in 2028.

I'd prefer they have housing somewhere to live and not in the streets! Just not in my neighborhood, man that's a mouthful, maybe NIMNH? Doesn't really roll off the tongue though...

You're moving the goalpost now.

Here's a 200k house: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1404-36th-St-N-Birmingham...

Here's how much they pay in property taxes ($1270): https://eringcapture.jccal.org/parceldetail/23%2000%2019%203...

30 year loan at 4% (not feasible today) means 115k in interest paid after putting 20% down. It would take way longer than 50 years to pay more in property taxes than interest.

I think you're vastly over estimating property taxes. Texas is less than 2% on average assessed on home value. I'd be curious about your example of what "most mortgages" payment breakdown looks like, like year 5 in texas on a 300k house putting 5% down and a 5% interest rate. Look at principle, interest, property taxes, and avg insurance payment.

Not in relation to his body which is the concerning interaction. Though contact with a 150mph tire would have had similar if not the exact same consequences as a 300 mph tire.

>It's not intended to provide a family with a living wage;

Maybe not family but definitely the individual, FDR on minimum wage:

Ultimately, he hoped to mandate that all workers would be paid "living wages" as described in his 1933 speech on the National Industrial Recovery Act, "It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By 'business' I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white-collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."

Interesting that the reference linked is in reference to must-carry regulation. The tiktok scenario is the opposite though? Must-not-carry that content! I suppose Uncle Sam's sword cuts both ways.

Or a boggle-esque set of dice rather than a phone app.

Any of the VR Virtual Desktop apps are certainly done in UnrealEngine or the like, but I think it's really just a virtual display for your computer and the 'desktop engine' is still windows if I'm interpreting your comment correctly.

If you do this, the clocks will be in the same place, it would have to be opposite acceleration profiles to get them moving away from each other.

The same thing will exist for people in 2010/2030 because of computational photography filters/algos.

Can't use the same PIN as a hacker would just add myhackurl.com/login to your vault and see what the PIN came across as. I think you'd also run into issues with password length as a lot of sites still have a restriction. I like the idea though and maybe a different implementation could work.

the autopilot was programmed to go in a straight line and at an intersection decided to steer into a crosswalk.

Agree this is a weird and very concerning bug.

Not to mention the fact that it seems entirely legal for a company like Tesla to test such dangerous functionality on public streets with other drivers and pedestrians, with zero permission or regulation.

This driver seems to be someone who I would be ok with testing this. He's got his hand an inch from the steering wheel and obviously paying attention. I would rather this scenario happen, than Tesla be restricted to no public road access and they just unleash an untested system.

(Problem #2 requires kopecks to be divisible.)

Does it? Did I fail at problem 2? I got:

Bottle + cork = 10

Bottle = 9cork

bottle/9 = cork

9(bottle + bottle/9) = 9(10)

9 bottle + bottle = 90

10 bottle = 90

bottle = 9

9 = 9cork

1 = cork

I would bet this as applicable as the Facebook posts of my parents friends something like, 'All my content on this page is mine alone and I expressly forbid Facebook INC usage of it for any purpose.'

The 2.6 million is the choice of books available. Like baskin robins has 31 flavors but only 5 of them sold more than 100k scoops.

Maybe, “don’t be evil”.

For the copy paste disable issue, you can usually paste into the address bar, and then select and drag the text down into the field. You may have to type and delete a character if they’re also listening for keypresses. Hope this helps you cause I hate it too!

If you pay everyone more that gets expensive quick. Seems like it could be cost effective to give almost rock bottom raises and just replace the people who aren't 100% into it.

Well some back of the napkin math, atomic mass of platinum, the heavier constituent of the standard is 195. So more than 5 mols of these atoms are in the block, because 1 mol of pt is 195 grams. So there’s around 5610^23 atoms. So 5 parts per 100 million adds up to a lot. Maybe 1.5*10^15 atoms? It’s been a while since I had chemistry...

Well... at least one... You can't steal your own lunch.

There is more than one solution to a block, so if someone does find it before you it's probably not the same solution. Making your head start worthless.

You didn't even have data though... you just made an incorrect statement.

According to https://charts.bitcoin.com/chart/price it first reached today's price on the 6th of December and peaked on the 17th of December. It has now taken an entire month to fall to the 6th of December's price.

To say the fall was quicker than the rise is at best cherry picking price point data and at worst an outright lie.

I like this analogy. I think maybe the answer would be to include technical limitations, like API limits so scrapers can only work as fast as a human. Or maybe captcha interaction like select all images of a car could be integrated? I think it should be up to the pool operator to make sure people follow the rules they put in place, not call the cops because someone is running.
