Big penguin is no joke. Just last week a penguin busted down my front door and forced me to compile my own kernel from source!

Part of this is because the device has to connect to cellphone towers where the radio equipment is on its own lifecycle path and eventually replaced.
Eventually the feature set of a device is too outdated for the carrier’s network to syooort it.
Developer time is limited and so there is little to no value using that time to support very old hardware that would be WiFi only.

Humans suck as remembering history?
Hookworms isn’t why stores require shoes. It’s because of hippies. Laws typically require employees to wear shoes and even then it depends on the workplace.

Despite what everyone around you is saying it’s not absolutely necessary to drive. People manage this in all areas across America.
Don’t drive again until you’re ready. That may be a few weeks, it could be a decade, possibly never again.

Pilot wave isn’t another dimension. It exists in configuration space which is a concept of quantum mechanics in general. What pilot wave provides is a deterministic narrative for quantum mechanics.

If you were to apply this same logic during various points during the world wars, you’d have been calling for the allies to surrender.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 4 weeks ago:
When someone gives an ultimatum of “me or them” (a or b), the best choice is almost always never a. It is the least restrictive choice.
If there were an actual reason to not choose b, the best choice is likely neither.
I understand the argument that “she is struggling” but the moment they make their struggle your struggle they are choosing to spread the pain rather than deal with it. This is never acceptable in a parent child relationship, more so if the child is a minor.

The relationship is the problem.
Calculating the levenshtein distance is the first thing that comes to mind, then creating a regular expression that covers any leaked passwords tied to the same account.
This is all easily scriptable and two leaked passwords might be all a script needs to discover the pattern. Once the pattern is known, all of their passwords become knowable.

At least there would be no copyright or trademarks.
Also I am meta corp, please paid the overdue invoice.
Also, we have annexed mega corp local shoppe and confiscated all inventory. All inventory is 90% off, this a fire sale; we’re burning this mother fucker to the ground at midnight.
- Comment on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy plays up his retail rivals’ worst nightmare: Trump’s tariffs may actually strengthen Amazon 2 months ago:
So buy directly from China using AliExpress (fuck temu) and cut out the Amazon tax?
When America companies do this, it’s white labeling and they sometimes adds a warranty, better package etc.
With Amazon you just pay the Amazon tax. The products they are describing aren’t coming next day. It’s literally the same speed as AliExpress with a worse return policy. AliExpress will refund and let you keep the item.

Such content already exists.
There’s a Streisand Effect that occurs when writing about what you don’t want instead of lifting up what you do want.

- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 2 months ago:
In the Nutcracker, at least, they’re pretending to fence, in a choreographed dance.
And no one writes stories about who won the fencing match.
Wrestling takes things to a ridiculous level compared to all other performances.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 months ago:
doesn’t really even involve every day normal people
You used those additional qualifiers. You’re just back peddling. You’re clearly indicating it’s not a big deal because it’s not people like you who are affected.

Nice dog whistle.
The virctims in gang violence include innocent bystanders.
We all know exactly what you’re really saying here and you’ll deny and make excuses about it.

Someone has calculated the first 100 Trillion digits of pi, so if I understand the equation you’re suggesting they means it is possible to know if pi contains all permutations of all phone numbers.
To keep the nerd going, I believe you’re over counting because not all 10 digits numbers are a valid phone number but I doubt that matters but it does reduce total number of numbers to find.
And if we want to include international numbers the longest possible phone number is 15 digits which falls just outside the range of calculated digits 100 trillion (10e14)
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 2 months ago:
Didn’t say anything about compression.
Indexing and compression are not the same concept.
If there was an index for all 5 digit sequences and their locations, it wood reduce the search space for finding a 6 digit number.
This is about look up speed not saving space. Indexes always increase storage requirements. Always.
The question being asked here is does pi contain my phone number? Not does pi contain my phone number with an index location whose numeric value is shorter than my phone number?
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 2 months ago:
Apparently it’s been calculated to trillions of digits so a bit lacking.
The search on that length would need an optimized index.
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 2 months ago:
I checked a couple but none were found if I included the area code.
Based on my sample size of half a dozen phone numbers, it doesnt seem to have numbers once they are more than 8 digits.
Seems like there should some formula to determine how long the normal number needs to be to have all digits go to a certain length.
Reminds me of the formula for calculating the shortest path to watch all episodes in a tv series in all possible orders.
- Comment on Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say 2 months ago:
Ideally, you should be joining a cooperative, guild, and unionize. Let companies consult to you.
Feels like this is where it needs to head. This isn’t material different than going through a recruiting agency except those agency charges +20% of the starting salary.
The idea is the same though. People form relationships with the third party group and the third party group puts their reputation on the line when suggesting candidates.
