Can you imagine my fiancée's dissapointment when I showed her my "finger tricks"...

I couldn't say where police corruption is worse if I'm honest, I would guess its worse in America. But, Police violence is absolutely worse in America.

Regardless, I think the take away is: "whatever the intention, guns don't equal civil liberties".

I understood your point. I was showing that not only does America have "a lot" of government overreach, it has "more" government overreach. An Australian is less likely to be shot by another of its citizens and less likely to be imprisoned, enslaved, or killed by its government.

As a counter point, America has fewer gun restrictions and more convicts than Australia. Gun laws and government overreach do not seem connected.

Linux does what Windont?

When a company' website doesn't work on Firefox I don't get angry at Firefox, I just don't use the site. When a company makes their cookie popups are a pain in the ass I don't get angry at the EU, I get angry at the company that made the popup. I use Firefox as a Canary that dies when a website is a piece of shit.

Maybe it's a win-win, I don't have to deal with Apple's bullshit and Apple doesn't have to waste resources on me, for me to block all their shady shit.

Nakamura said in a podcast all he would need to know is that there is a winning move and he'd be able to find it.

So, just one buzz is enough that says "in this position there is a move that wins the game".

Kinda like everyone's ratings in puzzles is higher than in elo because by the very nature of the puzzle there is a winning sequence to find.

In play, if I don't spot a winning tactic I just move to (try to) improve my position. In puzzles if I don't spot a winning tactic, I look again, and again, and again....

Anyone willing to drop some learning on a lay person? Is encrypted data less compressable because it lacks the patterns compression relies on?

Or, is it less secure to encrypt first because smart people things? I know enough about cryptography to know I know fuck all about cryptography.

Not necessarily: consider a string of '0's and '1's' both infinite and random.

No matter how long you look, you'll never find a '2'. Same with the multiverse, not all things need to exist.
