Or say “ok, you got me there. But, two things can be true and I’m here to listen if you have something you want to talk about”

Oh joy, now we get to find out that even the California cops are overwhelmingly conservative

Disclaimer: I have a dream job for me and my experience is probably not representative.

Go on open.kattis.com, pick a problem, solve it. That’s what 40% of my job is like. 20% more is reading through and understanding where the right place for this bit of code to live or what bits of code I should be reusing to make it. Another 20% is discussing with other engineers the tradeoffs of solving a problem with x vs y and picking what to do, and the last 20% is reviewing code, i.e. making sure other people solve their problems correctly and don’t drop a bunch of hack in our tree.

1. Dollar is fucked, national currency is Bitcoin now. Hope you bought some.

2. You all have fought over gender too much, I’m taking it away. They/them for everyone. Using gendered pronouns is a minor offense, but can be considered harassment and/or incitement. All sports leagues are now coed. Bathrooms only have private stalls.

3. If anyone your business employs can demonstrate that they are below the poverty line, it’s getting nationalized. No, you don’t get to know the number before the fed publishes it each quarter.

4. Climate is fucked, and it’s significantly our fault. Gas is now taxed at 2,000%. Meats and well, everything really, is going to be heavily taxed according to carbon footprint. And that will go up until we reach our target net emissions, zero.

5. All elected public officials are executed at the end of their terms.

I will not be reelected, and I will not be taking any questions.

Sell the bag to a lich to keep him from robbing graves, collect big $$$ for the unique magic item, and the bounty from the town

Potion of Water Breathing: DOES NOT RETAIN AIR BREATHING

Cube of instant castle: Say the keyword ‘open’ to transform this cube into a '200x’200 castle. The transformation happens instantly, and if you’re caught in the area of effect, be prepared to get smashed. The cube is hard of hearing.

It’s a furby right?

Also does not handle ‘IIIIIIIII’ -> ‘IX’ properly

15 choose 6 == 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 /(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) == 5005

Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir

Does it need to be physical? I’d expect data on a well funded S3 account or a tar snap account to live 30 years

If you actually want to use paper… QR codes. The format is simple, broadly distributed, and has error correction built in. It’ll make the whole process a lot easier than trying to roll something yourself.

This is unsurprising.

But forcing a recorded count does get those Republican Nays on record so they can be punished later.

Maybe something could be hacked together to fix copyright, but further complication there is just going to make accurate enforcement even harder. And we already have Google (in YouTube) already doing a shitty job of it and that’s… One of the largest companies on earth.

We should just kill copyright. Yes, it’ll disrupt Hollywood. Yes it’ll disrupt the music industry. Yes it’ll make it even harder to be successful or wealthy as an author. But this is going to happen one way or the other so long as AI can be trained on copyrighted works (and maybe even if not). We might as well get started on the transition early.

That threshold is like, slightly below average intelligence

And my toes too, just to be sure

You’re thinking like he still needs to be elected again and popularity matters.

One way or the other, Trump is going to rule America until he dies or is in prison.

2.5M sounds ok to me. Even 10M would get the 99.9% of the benefit. The important part is that it’s capped.
