It’s been said that “Nigerian prince” email scammers intentionally use poor spelling and grammar in order to narrow their funnel at the top by quickly weeding out observant and wary people who are unlikely to fall for it. By that token, LM-

I really wanted to find an answer for your challenge but it seems there aren't any answers using the regular 1-26 gematria and numbers written in their ordinary English form (without "and"). However, I did find some answers u

There have existed hand sanitizer formulations containing Triclosan or BZK instead of alcohol, although those compounds are more commonly used in anti-bacterial soaps. Triclosan was particularly controversial because of its potential to cau

Well, that's N=1. But we have seen that it's sometimes possible to bypass that kind of filter with clever prompt engineering. And because these things are black boxes, it doesn't seem possible to rigorously prove "unjail

A couple of years ago, I was attacked by a Kiwi bot near a UC campus. This is my story. The bot and I were moving towards each other on a sidewalk, and when I came close it stopped, as they do when sensing an object in front of them. But th

Here's what I'm wondering, and pardon me if this is a stupid question: Why go through all of the trouble generating true randomness with a Geiger counter just to use the result as the seed to a PRNG, rather than using your true ra

That logic assumes that the amount of music produced is constant over time, which it isn't necessarily. The population grows and the barrier to entry keeps getting lower.

My 2022 New Year's Resolution is to try out complete sobriety (caffeine excluded; this effectively means alcohol and cannabis). I've never considered myself to have a 'problem' with substances like some people I have kno

Isn't CTCI basically just a workbook? It has ~20 pages of intro and then problems and solutions. So it's not really a book you 'read' anyway, it's one you work through. I think the way you get really good at data st

If you want to look into it, this claim is generally associated with Robert L. Hastings.

I have a hard time conceiving of any reason that North and South would be different in this regard, but maybe it's possible if there is a tendency for rivers to flow towards the equator for some reason, since most of the world's l

Why does it make a difference whether your wealth is denoted by USD, Bitcoin, milk caps, or Rai Stones? If tanks roll over your capital city and your countrymen are made to kneel in a row, what good is it that you can refuse to give up the

I would guess consuming the amount of wood required to implement such a transaction history might end up proving to have disastrous results on the environment.

I understand your perspective. I love cooking as well and I like to tweak recipes and try to never make a dish exactly the same way twice. There is a happy medium in the amount of information contained in a recipe. Certainly a recipe that s

Likewise, the stroganoff recipe simply says to cook 'strips of beef' in a skillet. There are some cuts which you are not going to be very happy with the result if you do this with. I don't see how REMOVING information benefit

"Many" may be a stretch, but at least a few of the actors did meet that description, if only in bit parts/cameos. I think the only actor to that description that played a 'major' role on the show was the one who pla

Something like "Some threshold of official approval/proven safety has not been met, but we'll break the rule this time and give it to them anyway since they're very sick and we don't have any other options."

Funnily enough, the Macbook Pro touch bar displays a slider and allows you to seek. But anyway, I agree. It's a shame. Thousands (or millions) of people have probably had the thought "Why does this player work so badly? Oh, it&#x2

I don't think that's a good example of victimless crime. Negligently speeding past the school bus creates a situation where children are likely to get injured. The children are victims in the sense that they experience a higher pr

It's the same meme - a stack of pancakes as a visual pun on "software stack"/"full stack." Not the only place I've seen that before, either - I've seen the same idea on T-shirts and laptop stickers. F
