That’s surprisingly smart - a lot of these shops make a small fortune even after license fees.
A tax on the developers might also net a hefty sum.

That’s not a headline - it’s a natural corollary for reform members.

In other news, VPN signups are at an all time high.

Meanwhile in my university classes: “Here’s a nice long list of government fuckups blended into Math 101 delivery”.
- Comment on What is your interesting fact or knowledge that is completely useless that you wish to share? 4 weeks ago:
Let $\mu(x)=0$ if $\exists y<x\mu(y)=0$ or $x$ is the 20 millionth prime. $\mu(x)=\mu(x+1)+1$ otherwise. The elements of the sequence only become defined once the 20 millionth prime is found; till then they’ve yet to be constructed.
Bonus: The sequence $\nu$ is defined as follows.
Let $\nu(x)=0$ if $\exists y\leq x\mu(y)$ is perfect. $\nu(x)=\nu(x+1)+1$ otherwise.
We’re not sure if this is a sequence, even though it is algorithmically definable. Its existence relies on the existence of an odd perfect number.

It’s possible to define an infinite sequence whose nth term must exist before it’s first.

Including the ability to cheese curse to do obscene damage if I remember right.
- Comment on Analysis: EVs are now nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel to drive in UK 1 month ago:
All that’s needed is government support to buy one - a “trade your petrol/diesel in” scheme would go a long way.

Students: I want to study science and make the world a better place!
Modern society: Rolls a die. Best we can do is Burger King.
- Comment on Anon can't go home again 1 month ago:
I do miss forum culture; large chunks of digital history have been erased as forums vanished.
Culture on the web has changed as well; it has moved from communication with elements of performance, to performance with the illusion of communication.

“Pay or Ok”
The latest scummy tactic of news sites; this started shortly after the ruling that reposting their content was grounds for a DMCA strike.

Mostly, we all see the world in unique ways - picture a building of possessed dwarves and you have the average mathematics department.

I just want to add, this is coming from someone who has completed a mathematics PhD, and so has a very very high bar for psychosis (seriously, math departments are fun, but also FUN).
- Comment on Choose a major you love 2 months ago:
I remember one role where they listed a maths degree as essential; turns out their idea of “degree level mathematics” was calculating standard deviation and variance.
Generally, even if a job suggests it’s in your field, you’re not going to spread your wings much. I do think this is part of why people hate their jobs so much - they trained hard, learned so many things, and then got dumped into microsoft office and “doing things as they’ve always been done” because some arse in HR was unicorn hunting.

A lot of it is pacing - once you get left behind it’s hard to catch up.
Also, no-one shows them anything sexy like triangles on a sphere, horocycles, or matrices encoding multiple transformations.

Guess I’m saving up for a good fillet steak to try this out with.
Maybe mix the honey with water and glaze at the end of cooking - berry wise definitely a compote with black pepper?
- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 3 months ago:
Ye gods, I can smell the armour polish AND the cheeto dust in this thread.
The translation holding up is hilarious, it really does and you can hear the emotional damage that causes out there; I do wonder if it struck a genuine nerve.
The amount of “protect the children” out there is also priceless - this is one of the best outrage manufactories I’ve seen in years; I look forward to that outrage fuelling more surveillance laws.
