There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who don't, those who think it's a ternary joke and those who understand that it works with any base.

Because it's simpler to build siphons through large valleys instead of 100 meter high 10 kilometer long aqueducts.

Selling your data would be stupid, because they make money with the fact that they have data about you nobody else has. Selling it would completely break their business model.

I don't think that's how it works. If it exactly looks like something protected by laws like copyright or whatever your country uses, I highly doubt that any court would say that it's fine just because it was created by AI.

But it's also pretty expensive to test every stupid statement somebody said.

We don't even have gates. Most people just pay for their tickets. Sometimes there are ticket inspections - if you get caught you'll be fined. Way cheaper than enormous infrastructure for every entrance that just slows you down if you have an annual ticket for example. https://youtu.be/kq-X25pH1XQ

Also not paying for LibreOffice, Linux and Gimp.

Probably would have helped more to lower the bridge even more 🤣

Wow that flag is ugly. But now I'm wondering if it's possible to combine the flags in a way that looks nice.

But to be fair it's definitely not the lawyers fault.

I'm seemingly also close to the grave, because I have no idea if those words are actual products or just made up.

Yea because wheels suck on sand.

 

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.

It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)
