I wonder whether there was an infantarchal society where they took direction from toddlers. I suppose they wouldn’t have lasted very long if they did exist…

I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.
That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.

Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.

If the earth stopped rotating, days would be about 365x longer.
I wanted to figure out a more exact answer, but I’m hung up on the fact that the length of a day is influenced by rotation and revolution together.
I have a feeling this requires calculus. If Sir Isaac Newton were here, I think he’d know what to do.

Maybe the procedure would fix whatever’s wrong with their brains. Like, maybe Trump would slowly regain the ability to form complete sentences. I’m imagining a Flowers for Algernon situation where he wakes up one day, reads his own Wikipedia page, and is briefly ashamed before the non-neural parts of his body crap out.

It’s not a failure of the web, it’s a failure of corporations to accept their place as just a tab in my browser. It’s also easier to track users, exploit vulnerabilities, etc. from within a mobile app.

That’s neat, I’d never heard of it before!
It is an open question whether an Angel of some power k can escape forever.
Looks like you’re quoting the Proceedings of 11th Annual International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics from 2005: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.5555/2958119.2958180
Apparently, it was solved (twice!) the next year.
In late 2006, the original problem was solved when independent proofs appeared, showing that an angel can win. Bowditch proved that a 4-angel (that is, an angel with power k = 4) can win[2] and Máthé[3] and Kloster[4] gave proofs that a 2-angel can win.

- Comment on If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? 1 month ago:
You can also ask it to repeat the letter A one million times. For reasons I don’t understand, it will say “A A A…” for a while before hitting some sort of repetition limit and then it starts speaking gibberish.

Not to pile on here, but this is not an instance of the birthday problem.
The birthday problem would kick in if we asked “what are the chances that any two of these N people know the same place, whatever it may be.”
But instead we’re discussing “what are the chances that one of these N people recognizes a specific place P.”
- Comment on When lemmy.zip was announced, a few people were concerned about the .zip, as it could create security issues. Has it been the case so far? Has anyone ever been blocked by a work firewall due to .zip? 1 month ago:
Are there any exploits that have ever made use of TLD <-> file extension confusion? This seems really unlikely to help pull off an attack, even if the TLD was .exe, but maybe I’m overly optimistic.

I don’t get what’s more concerning about the .zip TLD than any other one.

How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of “Windows” again.
Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:
- Kablam!
- Telefenestra
- Portle
- Microsoft microdo
