  • I'm curious what the dollar value of this data is per capita. Imagine if you could simply pay $1 for exclusive rights to data collected by GM. Back in reality, they'd go "oops, we sold your data again and hoped you wouldn't notice."

  • To be clear, I'm not saying she should go free! She's clearly a danger to others. I just don't see any value in further punishment — if anything, she needs therapy and rehabilitation, if that's even possible.

    If you meant evil in a spiritual sense, then I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on why classifying people or actions as evil is necessary.

  • I deeply disagree. I think most healthy parents would probably die for their kids. There's no price that would make me consider poisoning a baby. Ultimately, the payoff was A$60k which is about $37k USD — not exactly a life changing amount.

  • I imagine this would still lead to a never ending stream of subtle logic errors.

     python
        
    from bossland import billysbool, billysand
    from geography import latlong
    import telephony
    
    def send_missile_alert(missiles_incoming: billysbool, is_drill: billysbool, target: latlong):
      if billysand(missiles_incoming, not is_drill):
        for phone in telephony.get_all_residents(target):
          phone.send_alert("Missiles are inbound to your location")
    
    
      

    Can you spot the bug?

  • Once upon a time, my landlord's management company tried to shake me down for an additional day of rent. I pointed out that my rental agreement stated I would pay exactly $x every month, so they can pound sand. They, too, decided to "let it slide." How magnanimous.

    (Edit: I just remembered, first they tried to argue the contract shouldn't have been written that way so I still had to pay. Wtf.)

    I swear they must have created a new spreadsheet with an off-by-one error somewhere and mailed out hundreds of bills instead of double checking.

  • The jury is out on whether every finite sequence of digits is contained in pi.

    However, there are a multitude of real numbers that contain every finite sequence of digits when written in base 10. Here's one, which is defined by concatenating the digits of every non-negative integer in increasing order. It looks like this:

     
            0 . 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ...
