It can be a political decision tbh.

The new android file permissions are actually terrible. It's broken so much stuff and made the whole os much less useful.

Companies will never be able to stop this,

If they have their way they will. All the tech bros are pushing for trusted computing platforms.

Imagine a world where most/all computers are as locked down as an iPad. That's what they seem to want.

The hoody part adds validity to this story IMO

How did you get into playing?

If you mean the Monty Hall paradox, this is how I've recently been able to understand it.

You start with a 1/3rd chance of being right. That's a 2/3rds chance you are wrong. Your first pick is likely wrong.

The host now must open a losing door. Since you likely already picked a losing door, the host likely only has one option for which door to reveal.

So since chances are best that you first picked a wrong door, then the host picked the other wrong door. Which means the one that hasn't been picked by anyone yet is likely the winning door.

Edit: Monte Carlo paradox is a thing. My bad.

The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, occurs when an individual erroneously believes that a certain random event is less likely or more likely to happen based on the outcome of a previous event or series of events.

For this one I like the example: "The surgery fails 9/10 times. The last 9 patients have died. Does that mean you in the clear?"

The whole point is that it's a TAS. This is a whole category of speed running. It would be cheating to submit a TAS as an actual speed run but submitting a TAS as a TAS is clearly not cheating.

Just because there are nearly unlimited resources out there, doesn't mean we won't keep abusing the ones down here.

What's up with this article? It's basically impossible to read.

Ehh it kinda does considering you can get a pretty full compiler tool chain running via termux.

It would be pretty trivial for YouTube to change the hashes at random. Might require a clever caching workaround on their end but it's totally possible to just flip a few bits before serving it.
