If you don’t immediately throw someone who doesn’t flush off of your property to never return, you’re nasty too.

It’s really not.

In poor countries sure, but not the US or Europe. You will get sued and you will pay if you do that at any scale.

But still declared them liable for the actions of their users.

Bad ruling, just less bad than it could be.

If I put the over/under at 10x male pirate to female, are you taking the under?

(Humans behavious still mostly eludes me though, totally illogical 🤨)

We’re not rational, but there are patterns. If you’re willing to do some reading Thinking: Fast and Slow is beefy, but helps to show some of the patterns of irrationality in a structured way, from one of the leading experts on human behavior. If that’s too much, Thinking in Bets is a nice taster that still is well backed by much of the same research, but is shorter and more accessible.

The “key” is the mapping of cipher alphabet to message alphabet.

There has to be a secret to be cryptography. The meaning has to be hidden without the secret information (though primitive/weak attempts can have a small enough search space to be brute forced). But the content being hidden without that information is the entirety of what the word means.

That’s a terrible definition, but “codes” is doing the heavy lifting.

It is not a code, in that definition, if it does not require knowledge of a key to decode.

It is literally impossible for anything that doesn’t have a secret key to qualify as cryptography. That is the entire defining trait.

Because it’s a giant one.

There is no valid interpretation of cryptography that resembles the way you defined it in any way.

You provided a definition that doesn’t even loosely resemble the correct one.

There’s no need to use words you don’t understand, especially when they’re wildly unrelated to whatever you’re saying. They just add confusion.

If the word “cryptography” here is what throws anyone off, it’s not some advanced field of study, it just refers to the physical manifestation of messaging, which a child can get behind.

No it doesn’t. Cryptography is specifically encoding messages in a way that is hard for someone without the specific secret key to decode, even if they know the methodology.

For first party stuff, Nintendo launches finished games (though Sony does too).

For third party, cartridges are expensive enough that it’s not uncommon at all for companies to straight up make a bunch of content download only. A lot of “multiple game” collections only put some of the games on the cartridge (not counting the ones that tie some to keys).

I don‘t see a reason why these cardridges wouldn‘t work in 20 years anymore.

Because, just like discs, they’re a crappy pre-launch build that relies on day one patches or additional content to actually work correctly.

I would be shocked if the newer versions don’t have a software hack way before that.

The fact that the first version was easy to hack made later versions lower priority, but at some point for the sake of preservation or to have the OLED, the new ones will catch up.

“Controlled demolitions take weeks of planning” because under normal circumstances, the risk of waiting is not that high. That doesn’t mean that subject matter experts aren’t capable of making an intelligent plan in a short period when a building is catastrophically damaged in heavily populated area where waiting can very easily result in more damage and more risk of casualties.

As for “melting iron”, if you’re talking eyewitnesses before the demolition, they have no idea what was melted. If you’re talking after, no shit they used demolition-grade explosives. It was a fucking skyscraper in the middle of a massively populated city that wasn’t stable. It had to come down.

I don’t understand ever under any circumstances having your phone on anything but vibrate.

Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.

How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.

No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.

It’s CBS. The NFL doesn’t run the broadcast. But not Taylor Swift lol. I don’t think she even did anything to draw attention to it besides existing.

I actually enjoyed seeing her in the stands, though. She was very clearly emotionally invested in the game, and I thought her reactions were genuine and added to the broadcast.

Because she’s that popular.

I’m willing to bet there were a comfortable 7 figures worth of extra viewers just because she was at the game.

Eh, it is what it is. I could sideload if I really wanted to.

After more effort than it should have taken (for some reason my PIA app or Android was bouncing local connections even with the settings to allow it enabled) ebooks do work. Probably not well enough for me to actually use it, though. It only turns pages with swipes and doesn’t really give any ways to do formatting. I’m surprised I’ve seen it suggested by people for ebooks with how limited it is. (I fully understand that it’s not the priority development-wise).

But at least I finally set up docker, which I’ve meant to do forever.
