There is no probability. No rolling dice. It is every combination of everything. I know Hilberts infinite hotel, I know (enough about) probability and statistics.

I am talking about the multiverse that many people imagine. The one where you can say “there is a universe in which I am president. And one where Lincoln is a velociraptor, and a universe where chairs sit on people instead of the other way round”. In that multiverse, I can construct a universe without triangles that is identical to another universe with triangles in every regard except for the existence of triangles. And I can do that for every universe with triangles. Its a bijection.

We dont permute a (in)finite set of initial parameters and then evolve the universe from there, we have a universe for every CURRENT state.

In the hypothetical reality where such a multiverse exists (it would be a case of Russells paradox as OP has discovered), there is a 50% chance to be in a universe where it doesn’t.

Standards are used to increase interoperability between systems. The more different standards a single system needs the harder it is to interface with other systems. If you have to define a list of 50 standard you use, chances are the other system uses a different standard for at least one of them. Much easier if you rely on only a handful instead

I think it is reasonable to say: “for all representation of times (points in time, intervals and sets of points or intervals etc) we follow the same standard”.

The alternative would be using one standard for points in time, another for intervals, another for time differences, another for changes to a timezone, another for …

I know. But I case of the multiverse that many people think about, the one where there is a universe for EVERYTHING, there will be exactly as many universes where triangles exist as there are universes where triangles dont exist. And the same is true for everything else.

And it is exactly the same number, not just the same type of infinity. Because for every universe with triangles there must also exist the exact same universe without triangles (and vice versa), otherwise the multiverse wouldn’t contain all possible universes.

If there are infinite universes, covering all permutations of all properties (i asume thats what they mean by omniverse), then there will be exactly as many universes with a certain property then there are without it. So it is actually 50/50.

In the “multiverse of all possibilities” there will be 50% without a multiverse

Why do i want a copy of something I am only going to watch once? And why should I keep a copy if I can just stream it again from the same or some different site for free in the future?

Streaming is just more practical. Doesn’t matter if its legal or piracy

Edit to clarify: I am not saying this opinion is good, it is an example of how many people think and the reason why pirate streaming sites exist

What are egg wets? Tried to look it up but can’t find anything that would fit this meme

It kinda does its just not what you expected (and not what the question meant). In a 500kg mixture of you (100kg) and wine (400kg), exactly 80% of that mixture is wine and 20% is you.

To answer the actually question you’d need to know how much extract you need to turn 1L of blood into 1L of wine and I’m to lazy for that math.

Except at some point a politician would look at the big pot of gold and decide that its a good source of money to fund their new political project. So the insurance reserve becomes a normal part of the state budget. Then the fire happens and to offset the huge hole in the budget, social services and schools are shut down.

Just because it is state run doesn’t mean a rich person wouldn’t misuse it to enrich themselves and fuck over poor people.

They do better about privacy because they make enough money from their inflated prices and blind brand loyalty where they dont have to become an ad company like google. Google is very good at protecting their users data from third parties, as long as they can still collect all of it.

Apple (currently) doesn’t collect a lot of data which allows them to design products with security as a primary component instead of as an afterthought

This is Satire. Its not real.

GM: it rolls to attack. Oh that’s a 2

Player: PFF easy

GM: for a total of 47, dealing 70 damage and you are grabbed.

GM: for its other 5 attacks …

My favourite is its reflect ability. If the players pull some meta bullshit like dropping tungsten rods from orbit the tarrasque can just play an uno reverso card and nuke the players.

Never heard of iDEAL. Wikipedia says its a a Dutch system that was acquired by the “European payments initiative” last year. The EPI just became active as a payment system 1 month ago.

This is VERY much still in development and not at all an established system in the EU.

Fines as a percentage of income is a good idea for individuals but I dont think it works for coorperations.

A more reasonable approach is:

• 100% of the money they earned/saved by comiting the crime
• 100% of all damages caused to other people/cost to clean up results of the crime (includes the cost of investigation and prosecution)
• a fine that represents the likelihood of getting caught. (If the crime earns me 1mil, the fine is 50mil but I only have a 1% chance to get caught, statistically I should commit the crime as many times as possible because I will end up wining in the end)
• (optionally) a fine based on the crime. This one might be based on the size of the company. This is the “punishment” part. It probably should be payed by the individuals responsible and not the company.

This third point is the important one. Cooperations comit crimes because they are reasonable monetary investments. If the expected fines are always higher than the expected earnings, crimes become a bad investment.

Are those seconds? As in is 100 = one minute or 100 seconds? Because

111sec ~= 2min

444sec ~= 7 1/2 min

999sec ~= 16 1/2 min

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die you piece of shit!

While I agree on the facts I want to offer a slightly different (possible) conclusion: a organisation like wikileaks needs resources and supporters. If they are targeted by all the “good guy”-countries and the only one willing to support them is “evil guy” Russia, then they are not in a position to resist. They chose to compromise their integrity instead of just not existing.

If the western world wants a whistleblower/leaks organisation that follows journalistic integrity and ethics, they need to fund it even if it leaks their own internal documents.

Dont think its quantum. Its all deterministic and based on the music of the ainur. So its analog.

Ah yes the good old torment nexus from the hit novel “dont build the torment nexus”

Activism can never ever ever ever ever achieve anything if it doest cause discomfort. A demonstration that doesn’t block roads or disrupt services is just invisible. And causing damage to a landmark is disruptive and discomforting.

There is also the point that oil companies will just shoot you if you were to vandalise their office.
