Some people want to see/show off the logo. Off-brand cases can’t have the Apple logo on them, so it’s a compromise of sorts.

That’s all in the linked wikipedia article
I appreciate you spelling some of it out, because I’m just curious and don’t have the background knowledge to really navigate this.

There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information.
Okay, but I still don’t get how that leads to a standardized measure of energy/mass for a given amount of bytes. That seems to be the premise of the comic.
information has mass independent of its physical representation.
So what is the mass of a byte of ‘pure’ information? And how do you derive it?
- Comment on Einstein-Landauer culinary units 2 weeks ago:
The idea is that information must have a physical representation. But I don’t know how that would lead to a standardized mass of a byte.

Paradoxes aside, if you’re given multiple choices without the guarantee that any of them are correct, you can’t assign a chance of picking the right one at random anyway.

Hehe, so nice of you to warn them. I just wish I could mute them in games. It’s so dumb that they always have to announce I’M A DEER.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 3 weeks ago:
I know deer can vocalize, but I have never heard it in my many encounters with them. They either stand and stare or just run away. In games you can home in on them by the constant yelping.

Assuming the probability of assholiness based on culture is how you treat cultures unequally.
If you agree that bad ideas can be part of cultures (large or small) to a higher or lesser degree, it follows that some cultures have a higher frequency of people with the need for the individual ‘education’ you’re suggesting.

This phrasing always bothers me a little, because, as even the article quotes a scientist saying: “All colors are made up by the brain.”
Purple is special because it triggers from non-continuous wavelengths of light, not because the subjective experience of purple is an invention of the brain. Being ‘invented’ is something common to all colors. Or sounds. Or tastes.

And ‘assholes’ just appear at random? Nothing in these groups increases or decreases the asshole frequency? Imagine if we thought of all culture that way. Forget about progressive politics changing people’s minds and thereby their behavior. “Some people are just ‘assholes’, what are you gonna do?”
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 2 months ago:
I’m sure I’ll move on at some point, but I’m currently running maybe 30 mods on civ 6, and they are mostly QoL. Parts of both gameplay and UI are just poorly thought out even to this day. So I was expecting the new game to be released in a state I’d dislike. It might take longer to improve than I thought, though.

It always bothered me that all the guards in stealth games noisily trudge around each other, yawning, complaining, coughing, but if they hear a whisper of a footstep coming from you they instantly find it highly suspicious and worthy of immediate investigation. Like, how do they know it’s not just another one of their noisy buddies?
