Aspiring ecoterrorists and 30-50 feral hogs are a match made in heaven.

It crashed so hard they couldn't even type the second asterisk!

"plural inside"

Multi-CPU systems be like.

Ah yes, let me pay $450 for a console that I have to pay an additional $80 for every game I want to play. What a sound financial decision.

Why? WebP is a great format; it beats JPEG in lossy compression and PNG in lossless compression.

If you don't mind the (slight but nonetheless present) quality loss. Not quite worth it to me since I can always copy large videos off my phone to free up space.

Depending on your location relative to your water utility, it might take several seconds for the pressure wave from turning on your faucet to propagate backwards to them at its measly 1.5km/s. With our new ultra-low-latency smart faucet technology, that delay is reduced to tens of milliseconds! It could be faster, but we have to route all traffic through our cloud servers for analytics purposes.

Consuming only the power usage of a small country to run a thriving Minecraft SMP of AIs running around randomly and accomplishing nothing!

Somehow, "supercomputer learns to do a task in 9 days that an average child could do in a couple hours" doesn't impress me all that much.

Also, expert human players take 20-30 minutes to find diamonds??? Divide those numbers by 5 and it might be realistic; top players can speedrun the whole game in less than that fairly consistently.

Even so I think it would be totally reasonable for them to block web scrapers, as they provide better ways to download all their data.

Yes. Yes, they are.

I imagine they're just using some generic web scraper for everything, and not taking any time at all to see if the sites they're scraping have an easier way to access the data.

I didn't want to be exposed to exploits, so made sure to never install the Google services stuff.

Ah, the good ol' "draw a random line that looks sorta right" curve-fitting method.

Yeah but the traffic from scraping other instances is going to get noticed real quickly, whereas a small instance federating with everyone else isn't really suspicious.

Yeah that's true; real anonymity would be something like 4chan where users aren't distinguishable. Here you can tell who people are, but not necessarily find out their real life identity.

It's too small to bother with?

Dear CEO of antifa, I'm the CEO of the NSA. How do you pronounce "antifa"? We've been really struggling in our meetings. Best regards.

1. The house on the left doesn't have its lights on.
2. The lion on the right is lying down, not standing up.
3. The lawn on the left is not mowed but on the right it is.
4. The roofs are different colors.

I could go on.

Me substituting u=tan x into the integral.

That is usually how males and females of a species are differentiated in general: males have the small gamete and females have the large one. (As you said, some individuals may not produce gametes so it only applies in general).

Of course humans are a lot more complicated. We have a concept of gender which doesn't necessarily align with biological sex, and many people modify their sex characteristics to match their gender, so applying generalizations blindly gets you nowhere.
