    On top of the other comments, this reads like a half-joke.

    > If we would guess that there is a bias in the distribution based on recently seen elements, the guess is at least as likely to be wrong as it is to be right. This is true for abs…

    Or like $5. This is the kind of thing it was very easy to hire people for. Dropping the price to near zero exploded the usage, though.

    Neither are bug reports or feature requests.

    I want all the colors! Give me the full spectral power distribution!

    The name for the color doesn’t exist before the name. But, you can distinguish all sorts of colors you don’t know the name for. Look at a smooth color wheel or a wall of paint swat…

    The provided rights are called positive rights, and the not infringe rights are called negative rights. Freedom of speech is a negative right and a right to legal counsel is a posi…

    No one who would ask that question would be able to understand your answer.

    More directly than the other comments: No you can’t solve for x and y here and yes your intuition is wrong. These are functions. I don’t know your level of knowledge in math or pro…

    Yeah, I’m surprised this didn’t get a low impact. If just setting initial board state isn’t low, what is?

    Wouldn’t that be hours and really really slowly? Could do seconds mod 12 (or any other factor of 60, which is a lot).

    It’s pseudorandom. It’s predictable in theory because if you had another watch, or an amazing sense of time, you could predict it. Is that realistic? Not really. Computers use thei…

    It's a bad idea to reward death threats like that. There would be more of them in the future.

    That would mean the people who did the death threats get their money back.

    Woah, you can sell it back to them? That’s normally the line that isn’t crossed. You sell it at the store next door (pachinko) or on the open market (trading card games and digital…

    Birthday, zip code and gender is enough to uniquely identify most Americans.

    It was the companies that were performing well in the stock market. Microsoft and Apple are much older and didn’t have the growth those did.

    That jumped out to me because you see it in YouTube videos so much now. I was surprised at the age of this post.
