Cazabon's :

The overall quality and of a film can be approximated with the following :

Q = 1 / ((n - 2) ^ 2)

... where Q is watchability in the interval [0, 1], and n is the number of genres the movie is categorized as having in its IMDB listing.

Action, Comedy: 1.0
Drama, Thriller, Music: 1.0
Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Thriller: 0.111

Note: there's a discontinuity at n == 2, which we avoid by using the value 1 in that case.

1/2

cazabon,

Thank you for the !

And on the , when most of these have no whatsoever, that really, really complicates the story, especially when, as we've seen over the last five or six years, the looks far more .

Northern and rural communities experience disproportionate harm from Manitoba Hydro developments, while the majority of the energy produced goes to meet the demand of southern urban communities https://theresolve.ca/how-manitoba-hydro-pushed-families-from-their-homes/

cazabon,

@larryneufeld

There's a more-obvious , not relying on : the dams and turbines and generators go where the water and the height delta happen to be, in the north, because you cannot generate power otherwise, and the electricity is delivered to the centers, where the demand happens to be, because it's people that need power.

Should they build hydro plants in Winnipeg and transmit the power to Misipawistik First Nation instead?

cazabon, to math

Others have said this, but I'll give it a shot.

" encryption" doesn't exist.
" access" doesn't exist.

is . There is no math that can be done by "the good guys" but cannot be done by "the bad guys".

Anyone who tells you you can have while still allowing the or anyone else is to you.

They are trying to get you to give up your . them. Demand end-to-end encryption.

cazabon,

@ykonstant I agree that there are other, perhaps better examples and arguments.

But I disagree that a FLAC file is math. It's data; there is no formula that lets you reproduce it starting from a simple initial state. With math, if you know the initial conditions and the rules/formulae/algorithms, anyone can reproduce the final state correctly.

I think the works for the interested layman who knows nothing of .

For my non-technical mutuals who are struggling to understand how can pose an existential threat; for those who wonder how a ‘program’ and algorithms might ultimately threaten their very lives, this video provides a simplistic, but plausible explanation scenario I’m sure you’ll find useful. It’s based on, of all things, ‘stamp collecting’ and that actual story starts about 3 minutes in, so stick with it.

I have an question for the community: How can I make an accessible spoiler element? On my site, I use a class to make my div have a black background, and text color set to black. On hover (or on tap on mobile) the background and text color is unset. It's dawned on me though that this surely isn't doing anything for screen readers. So, how might I go about making this work better? An example page can be see here: https://www.vzqk50.com/projects/pentabit/#explanation
