Yeah because decentralization is just a gimmick. It sounds cool on paper, but in reality it doesn’t solve many problems - it just introduces many others. The only situation where it helps is if an instance goes down permanently, and even then it’s not that helpful.

There is no case to sue them. It’s the management responsibility, not the workers to assign work. They don’t need to go out seeking it.

It’s not someone who is learning, because “how to avoid race conditions” is like java concurrency 101. The entire thing is made to prevent that shit from happening. And it is incredibly easy to setup a “happens before” relationship.

There was a dude who posted like 3 pics of his totally wrecked car on Facebook.

He then got the “memories” reel with a catchy melody and the same 3 pictures of the fucked up car rotating in and out.

That’d imply that my take is equally unhinged when it’s the default thing that happens when an animal bites someone and might have been carrying rabies.

Then there is no point in talking to you. What they did was 100% justified and that’s the end of the discussion.

A man, in a hoodie, that speeds up his step when they try to walk away from him faster, at 2am. Context matters a lot here.

Literally says “speeds up my steps as well”.

No it isn’t when there’s probable cause. And “dude started running after me” is enough for self defense to kick in. Actually it is probably enough to charge the dude.

So what that humans can carry rabies? Do you see a difference between a human and a squirrel or not?

You miss the fact that they confiscated it, then it bit someone, then they tested it for rabies.

Because it is a wild animal that can carry rabies.

The way it played out is the squirrel bit someone. The only way to check for rabies and be 100% certain is to cut the brain. Which obviously doesn’t lead to the animal being alive anymore. But at the end of the day, a squirrel’s life is less important than that of a human, so it had to be done.

I get it on mobile. I think it does it with playlists. I launch some music for background noise and it stops after a while.

Other features I guess. Like the bullcrap “are you still watching” that pops up every three videos, music maybe. I’m thinking of some waiting room TV thing, but then again you don’t want ads in that usecase either.

N and B are equal and loss of one depends on the current situation of the board :d

Forks and all of that comes with playing the game. It also comes from the easiest / most approachable way to play chess - puzzles. So far so, that it’s insanely popular on Facebook, where some guy pastes an amazing move from the past and a butt-ton of people stop and think about it.

Also, forks and stuff is often overkill. You can get to like 1200 rating by knowing like 4 - 5 moves in the start. Most games are decided by someone making a huge mistake. And in the first matches, that guy will probably be you. But then suddenly you’ll notice a huge fuckup and win a game over it. And then the fuckup will be slightly smaller, and smaller, and smaller.

But yah, chess isn’t all intelligence, it is a lot of practice and study.

The answer to the “chess” thing is “yes, you will get better if you play it for long enough”. It’s a lot about pattern recognition and the things you’ve seen in the past. There are certain rules to follow that help a lot - but someone needs to teach them to you first. It’s like saying “I suck at crosswords, I will never be good at them” - yes you will, with enough done you’ll start to see repeating “crossword words” that keep being used over and over.

Edit: also for the life thing - it’s the difference between wisdom and intelligence.

Well, don’t shoot your shot too early. Or rather, don’t loose too early?

There is a difference because you have anecdotes, not data. You can’t draw conclusions from them. The entire “experiment” could be poisoned by a single person with joint disease. It could be poisoned by a single person lying about the severity of the pain etc.

Okay, but you can’t say “he killed him” when he could be brought back by anyone. Especially since even the museum guy knew that the gun is for dehydration, so that means Megamind’s powers / gadgets are relatively known.

Wasn’t he just a proud dude that disagreed with how the song of creation was to be sung - and sung his version anyway? But then it was “all according to plan” anyways?
