Question: what fraction of bits do you need to randomly flip to ensure the data is unrecoverable?

Yeah the comic is pretty dumb, it's definitely an over simplification. Just recognize that dudes being aggressive is a thing, even if it's not all dudes, because it certainly isn't.

In their right mind

Some weirdos take correction or rejection as a personal attack, and subscribe to the ethos that the best defense is a good offense.

Eh I mean alphabet and Google do have legitimate reasons for antitrust lawsuits, but that's independent of how shit Google search has become.

Anyway, for those who are fed up with the terrible results, use Ecosia. I've basically never needed to use anything else and the advertising money goes towards planting trees responsibly to rebuild ecosystems.

I mean it really depends on how close you're required to get. If you have to get within arm's length, I know who I'm picking. If you're allowed to stay a kilometer away, that changes the question. This is just an extension of the poor definition of the question and why there's so much arguing.

The bear thing is controversial because people are interpreting the core of the question differently and assuming everyone understands the question the same way. Some people view the question as fundamentally "which are you more afraid of?" while others view the question to be "which is more dangerous to interact with?" The answer you give and your justification will depend on the question your answering. If your conversation partner is viewing the question through the other lense both your answer and reasoning will sound idiotic. People who claim the other side is just plain wrong aren't trying to understand why the other side might have their "wrong" position. People who claim the other side don't understand them should look to demonstrate to the other side that they can understand their viewpoint, down to the core interpretation of the question, so that they can lead them back up through an alternate interpretation of the question and into their own perspective.

Dear Batman,

It's the Rizzler.....

Try it. Tell the secret service what you're doing and then record yourself donating fake currency that you're trying to pass off as real currency. Just keep tagging them until they tell you to stop because it's totally legal.

I was thinking of putting it in a landfill.

How about next time we relocate the airport!

What part about giving a person $5 because they asked for it isn't using the money? They're asking for real money. You give them fake money, knowing it's fake. You don't tell them it's fake.

Imagine donating fake money to a charity. Same thing.

Ah, I didn't know! Thanks for the info.

I thought about it for a second, and could see it being an accessibility law passed for this very type of thing. Kind of like how (in the US) you must always be able to join a sweepstakes without paying any money (usually you mail them your name and address) even if the way they want you to join us by buying product or something. But anyway, I don't actually know about that coupon thing.

I have vague memories of there being a law that you're supposed to just be able to ask the cashier to apply any discounts you know about at the cash register?

Oh and the neck, and the hand, and the feet.....

I just want sexy gollum to be free from anatomical horrors.

Yeah, you cut off their head.

I hate how the anatomy is wrong. The shoulder and forearm don't agree with each other.

What I meant is that there are people who genuinely enjoy their work above all else. Those are the people who might say they wished they spent more time at work. However, there is rarely anything keeping them from work that they don't also value. If a person enjoys working, there's very little preventing them from working.

I know of at least one person who might have actually said that, were he not busy working from the hospital when he died. People don't say that because no one who enjoys working somehow failed to find work to do.

Treat others as they would like to be treated.
