  • My guess is it’s like a slur for “C-suites” aka the CEOs and CFOs and bean counters who want you to buy more games and only play them for a few days so you can spend money money on the next game.

    The devs are happy if you enjoy their game but the businesmen are unhappy that you aren’t spending more money.

    If I am correct on this crazy interpretation then I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed.

    It can still cut into profits even if it isn’t scalable to being a full solution and it is still worth it for consumers even if it can’t be worth it for every consumer.

    All this can still be true even if “lab grow all meats. problem solved” is not true (or at least not possible, even if it is a logically valid construction).


  • My understanding is that the laws about getting in trouble for accessing something on a computer are basically “if they didn’t intend for your to access it and you access it then that’s all that is needed for you to get in trouble.”

    It’s basically right up to the line of making a hyperlink that says “oops this was a mistake to hyperlink this, please don’t click on this link we did not intend for this to be linked” and if you click that link then you are illegally hacking.

    People in Florida got in trouble for accessing COVID data that was just “hidden” in the non-displayed html of some government webpage. The way they “hacked” the data was by pressing Ctrl+U to view the source of the public page.



  • So whatever way the camera output is being signed, what’s stopping you from signing an altered video with a similar private key and then saying “you can all trust that my video is real because I have the private key for it.”

    The doubters will have to concede that the video did indeed come from you because it pairs with your key, but why would anyone trust that the key came from the camera step instead of coming from the editing step?


  • It bothers me that no one acknowledged that this can still be logically true. Of course if most people’s ADHD goes away in childhood then it doesn’t really logically mean anything to ask “most people you know with ADHD” because by definition, you will only be asking the subset of people for whom that isn’t true.

    You can’t really survey the people for whom ADHD went away in childhood by asking all the people you know with ADHD because the people who would confirm the psychologist’s claim are not going to be included in that survey.




  • Silicon is not a rock so saying that silica is not rare is irrelevant to the “rare rock” line.

    Silica is indeed refined but the rocks that they refine to get the pure silica are indeed rare rocks. They only really refine the pure silicate that already start with super low impurities. relatively speaking. And the low trace elements impurities is what makes them rare.
