worth noting, that blacklist filtering decompiled code looks this way (just one line; to show the naming) if (iNativeAd.getAdTitle() != null && m12161a(iNativeAd.getAdTitle(), str)…

But the statistic of how often doing X gets somebody in jail is very important measure. (there is a fine for littering, but people constantly drop cigarette butts or gum on the gro…

It could be useful when discussing lightcones of others. If we have two alien neighbour planets aranged so, that we are in the middle between them. Then we could see both aliens' e…

Manners change over time. Maybe masks will join normal etiquette with other polite things, which benefits everyone around. (such as: closing your mouth when coughing, washing hands…

I saw advertisements "now 20% cheaper!", while price change (original->new) was 30€->25€. Marketing always finds a way.. 5/30=16.6%, 5/25=20%

For me "measurement" implies known precision, and some straight-forwardness, simplicity and clear repeatability. Estimation is on the other hand uses measurements as input and has …

I think that was somewhat intentional, but my take: "Dataome" = technology as an environment/medium. We live in a world full of microbes and can't function without them. (microbiom…

There are also circles of hell. (opposite of silver bullet)

I would like to note that even with algorithms/datastructures "best" is USUALLY not the word (even assuming that all algorithms/structures are discovered/known). "Good enough" / "f…

My heuristic for pessimism: We use enourmous amounts of energy and we invest enourmous amounts of money in energy production. At the same time we have neglible storage and and negl…
