Yeah, for sure. Regardless of legality, it was pretty clearly unethical.
- Comment on Crunchyroll is Investigating Situation After Voice Actor Claims Company Opened His Mail, Gave Away Contents | ANN 17 hours ago:
Legally it might be a bit more complicated than that. The address on the mail would’ve been crunchyroll, and it’s seems like businesses are allowed to open any mail that is addressed (as in having the matching address) to them regardless of whose name is on it.

Imagine just chilling in the dark, minding your own business, and some asshole comes at you with a light as bright as the sun, and you can’t even close you’re eyes because you don’t have eyelids.

Whoa, good work! I think I’m going to have to go over this a few times to grock how it works, especially the Φ(b) - Φ(a) bit. My stats textbook has a bit too much dust on it. ;)

Moreover, that’s not how probability works in independent events.
- Comment on anyway, i started blastin' 3 days ago:
Yeah, I was trying to compute the “ballpark” of thr odds, but it’s actually hard to do because of how astronomically improbable it is. Even computation systems that are designed to compute rather big/small numbers (think 100,000,000^1,000,000 big) fail.
Here’s another example: If a human only had 1,000 gut microbes, the chance that over 900 of them get snapped is 1 in ~10^162 [[WA(www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=CDF[BinomialDistribu…)]].
Now if you do that for every human on earth, the probability is still essentially zero. [WA]
When you consider that humans don’t have 1000 gut microbes, they have over 10 trillion, it’s just mind bogglingly improbable.
- Comment on anyway, i started blastin' 3 days ago:
The alternative is even more disturbing: snapped humans leave behind a cloud of poopy gut microbes.
- Comment on anyway, i started blastin' 3 days ago:
That would be incredibly unlikely. Due to the huge number of gut microbes, the chance to even lose 5% off of the median, even with billions of trials, is functionally zero.

Phrasing!!
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 days ago:
I will warn you, it’ll push your requirement for understanding game mechanics, and make you solve problems in new ways from the base game. It’s also not feasibly beatable without at least some understanding of circuits, logistic mechanics, and (space) trains.
That said, I good luck, and may your factory grow in perpetuity!
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 days ago:
It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you, it’s amazing.
I’d highly recommend beating the base game first if you haven’t already. The complexity really ramps up quite a bit, so if you struggle with the base game, it might be better to hold off. That said, if you’re confident in your problem solving skills and willing to push through some of the tougher bits, you could totally jump right in to Space Age.
I think I’m at around 100 hrs into SA so far, and maybe half way through, and I’ve loves every bit. Except Gleba, fuck Gleba. :)

Will it be climate change? […] Will it be ai?
Why not both? :)
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 1 week ago:
::: mild spoilers ahead It did seem strange how poorly things end with the voodoo boys. You can get out without a fight, but you can’t make any friends. It seems to me like asides from kinda betraying you, they’d make for pretty natural allies against netsec and Arasaka. :::
So no, I don’t think that was just you.

I never really appreciated them until watching a bunch of 3blue1brown videos. I really wish those had been available when I was still in HS.

- Comment on Why Do People Gather? A Study on Factors Affecting Emotion and Participation in Group Chats. 3 weeks ago:
It’s interesting that the effect magnitude and significance are higher for negative emotions than positive ones.
I mean, it’s fairly common knowledge that we remember negative emotional experiences more strongly than positive ones, but it’s interesting to see that supported here.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
And now we have evidence to suggest that we were wrong, thus there is a moral imperative to act based off this new information. There is no evidence that bacteria or similar organisms are capable of pain or suffering. If you want to just disregard all science and biology, that’s your prerogative I suppose.

Just checked out the trailer and first look videos. I love the focus on parkour! Seems like it could be pretty fun and different.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
Although yeast is technically living, it’s more similar to bacteria than animals or other living creatures. It doesn’t feel pain and isn’t a sentient being - there is absolutely no reason not to consume yeast or foods made with yeast.

I’ve deleted so many half written comments thinking “If this is what they think, do I really want to deal with the absolute garbage response I’ll inevitably get back?”

- Comment on Why Google Search is Falling Apart. - YouTube 5 weeks ago:
I really like searx so far. My only problem with it I’ve had is that instances keep going down. Obviously one can’t be too upset about a free service that’s not being monetized, but it’s still kind of frustrating to have to reconfigure it and switch all my browsers’ default searches to a new instance.
- Comment on Despite Online Threats, Users Aren’t Changing Behavior 5 weeks ago:
I honestly blame dark patterns in software for at least some of this. Some operating systems seem to push garbage on to your system with every new update. I just recently heard a streamer complaining about how updating his PC changed his desktop wallpaper, for example. Like… Why?
Also, virus scanners marking pirated software as false positives has done untold damage to their reputation.
