I have never understood why you need to register ahead of time to vote in US. It seems like an unnecessary blocker. In Denmark you just show up on the day, state your SSN, show ID and get a ballot.

AI will probably benefit big corporations the most.

No, it is because it is not a gun.

Let me take a stab at it:

Problem: Given two list of length n, find what elements the two list have in common. (we assume that there are not duplicates within a single list)

Naive solution: For each element in the first list, check if it appears in the second.

Bogo solution: For each permutation of the first list and for each permutation of the second list, check if the first item in each list is the same. If so, report in the output (and make sure to only report it once).

Can we at least see it?

Came here to say all of this, so thank you for saving me keystrokes :)

  1. Wtf, there is a Wikipedia just for mold?

  2. How can it feature 0 pictures

Well, according to the first biography about him, he was coding quite a lot in Zip2 and perhaps also some in early PayPal. Bit the code was supposedly hastily written and very bad.

From the Wikipedia page it seems that there are small outbreaks every year in the region of origin (India/Malaysia). It seems like the government is quite good at tracking down infected and potentially infected - which is lucky since the mortality rate is above 50%! I wonder what happens if one of the infected jumped on a plane to a completely different place in the world that was not so good at managing it.

Look. Doing A-E is going to be expensive enough for the young fella. I don't think he can also afford gunshot wound treatment.

Sounds like you should find a new product to use.

Who would have thought that Tolkien would be 100 years ahead by depicting smart phone addiction. He even got the fact right that you become invisible (ie isolated in your room, not going out) when you use it.

To make room for the pennies

What kind of "guess the billionaire" game is this?

It somehow disappears when I close my private browser.

Just like Tolkien wrote it.

Insert Pikachu meme

Won't be big

Read "Going Infinite" which describes the rise and tall of FTX and SBF. "isn't smart" is not true, but he is definitely not "human smart", but rather "math smart".

This is also my biggest missing feature.

I remember reading a Github issue about it and iirc it is a bit challenging to get it to work with federation.

Can we at least avoid a dystopia future?

Look at me, I have free toilet paper at work.

Like pihole? I recently set it up and it is not blocking YouTube ads (as other commenters have also pointed out).

My shoulder joints popped from just reading this.

Sounds like the least cynical answer I have gotten here.

Would you say that it reads better as "not x" or "x not" (if we remove all special characters)?

Stuxnet would like a chat with you

My restaurant just drags me out to pet the cow and I say thanks, pay them and go home.

It's is probably more of sending a message.

Yeah, sorry, was just referring to the browser. I use it and I find it okay.

I guess it was some good hot takes after all.

(And I agree with all you counter points)

But I am guessing that you property price will also fall, så the question is what the new difference will be.

Read the title as "shooting" and thought "another American post..."

But can we at least get him out the election?

I would like to share this with you: https://youtu.be/U0YW7x9U5TQ

It is likely you are a bot, and then you get one it these regular captchas and the that will increase your score if you succeed.*

Or was it pencils... So hard to remember...

Comfort, I assume

I think you need to take the same approach as the British during WW2 with the Enigma. They could decrypt the messages and know when attacks would happen, but if they stopped every attack, the Nazis would know and change encryption device. So you need to accept that some people will die and only mitigate the disaster in small but impactful ways.
