"Spying"

>The FBI in 2023 sought and obtained data about the senators’ phone use from January 4 through January 7, 2021. That data shows when and to whom a call is made, as well as the duration and general location data of the call. The data does not include the content of the call.

I'd assume that's a typo of "violence or hatred"

The law actually says "anything of value of $5,000 or more". The majority opinion is just arguing in bad faith there

I'd guess that it speaks to the "knew charges were coming" bit to support that they were specifically fleeing the law and not disappearing to escape a bookie or an annoying family member or something

> I remember having to hustle to get from one end of campus to the other in those 10 minutes

Yeah, personally I read it less as 50 minutes being some biological limit of human attention and more as once you go over people start thinking about how much longer you're going to be, how long it'll take to get to their class, weighing missing the end of this talk vs the start of the next one vs skipping their bathroom break/sprinting. Plus the added the distraction of people who have reached their limit getting up and squeezing their way past to leave.

That case was settled in April[1]. TFA is about the passenger in the 2016 crash

Couldn't you just 1. Draw an arbitrary line through the cake 2. Set each person's valuation of a point on the line equal to their valuation of the cross section throgh that point 3. Use the algorithm to cut the 1D pseudocake 4. Make the corresponding cross sectional cuts to the real cake

Actually for round cakes you could even make normal (wedge-shaped) pieces by re-parameterizing distance along the line as angle and cross sections as infinitesimal wedges.

Edit: And for the rectangular cake you could slice the cake up along one axis and line those pieces up end-to-end first so that the cross sections would have a reasonable width instead of having slices as wide as the whole cake

6^5 ends in ...76

6^25 ends in ...376

6^125 ends in ...9376

6^625 ends in ...09376

and so on

That'd be the equivalent of scraping your dishes, not rinsing them

*Unlike the author

>Thank God my son was fine, but the comment about the dead bull intrigued me. We didn't own a bull. Where was he? How did the bull die? And why was he telling me about it?

>Then he said, "The car is damaged but operable." All right. He had gotten into some type of accident, the car wasn't a total loss, and there was a dead bull (still a great puzzle).

Where this fails is

>to be derived from the efforts of others

The buyer expects to derive profits from arbitrage to the existing market value. If Nike shut down the moment you bought the shoes the profits would still be realized, because they don't require any effort on Nike's part.

Some have have started moderating more actively, with a new rule that all posts have to be John Oliver

Although with binary numbers you'd probably want to modify the rules to avoid rolling so many d20s, since you'd need to re-roll them 12/32=37.5% of the time

This reasoning is true of every real number, yet it's been proven that almost all real numbers are absolutely normal and therefore contains every finite sequence of digits

Ironically you only start to see it where you want to see it. Motivated reasoning you agree with is just reasoning

The list of participating subreddits[0] includes ~3/4ths of the big subreddits. 7 of the 10 subs with over 30 million members[1], 81% with 20-30 million, 77% with 10-20 million, 80% with 5-10 million, and 71% with 1-5 million

I don't think the blackout will be limited by its scope so much as by its duration

That Rootclaim analysis seems sloppy as hell. From the "Show More" of the outbreak location section:

>Thus, the ratio of zoonotic:bioweapon:zoonotic collection:modified lab escape is 2:5:100:50, or a reduction of a zoonotic origin by 50x, a bioweapon origin by 20x, and a lab escape by 0.5x.

Those aren't the same ratio.

>To account for the possibility that there is a yet unidentified reason why Wuhan is a more likely location for a zoonotic outbreak, these numbers are generously adjusted to a reduction of a zoonotic origin by 20x and a bioweapon origin by 15x, with lab escape remaining at 0.5x.

But what they actually apply is a reduction of a zoonotic origin by 20x and a bioweapon origin by 15x, with zoonotic collection at 2x. Which isn't the result of applying that adjustment to either of the original ratios, so apparently they've just applied the lab escape factor to wrong category
