This reminds me of Charles Babbage's response to being asked if his computer would give the right answer if the wrong numbers were entered:
I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
I've been tempted to drop this line in meetings more than once.
Does the series spoil the books? I haven't started watching or reading yet, although the first book went on my to-read list four years ago.
I added banana (for scale) and it's on the up and up: https://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount/#fuck*,shit*,crap*,bastard,penguin,banana
If you want to have a tables version (the 90s called!) in one page (without serving different versions), then you'd probably have to have that in the page the whole time then override that with CSS, or just have two versions in the page and use CSS to show the correct version (I'm not sure if Links2 supports any CSS like display: none).
I thought Mathew's genius anticlimax was sure to win - until a few seconds later (Greg didn't agree though). It's funny that he described them as Rube Goldberg machines since that's the American term - we would say a Heath Robinson machine.
Monsters have been a bit of a theme this series.
The members of the public must have found being in that park weird - I wonder if local got used to it since it happened at least five times.
"Your smell seduces ours nostrils like moths to a flame" - wtf.
I thought Rosie was clever to have undignified people there she's to be compared against but it didn't really work (perhaps due to her non-deep message).
Vase via route B - I'm surprised they didn't have routes A and Z just to maximise the chances to correct Jason.
No-one thought of collapsing the tunnel and just stepping through like it's a hoop.
It's more about things similar to Microsoft Recall, I don't think whistleblowers are going to send their messages where other people can see their screen.
I never knew about the spaceship Easter egg, good fun.
Edit: it's the recent Android version easter egg that's mentioned in the DISALLOW_FUN section.
I think a lot of people don't realise how much of what makes "them" them is gut biome and your brain retrospectively assigning yourself agency for actions your body decided on (flinching from hot surfaces is one).
We just keep finding more ways that gut bacteria influence our diet and behaviour. And if you obey your gut flora and eat sugar instead of protein, you'll allow them to increase which expands their influence over you. Or that part of you, since where's the line?
innocent until proven guilty but when an algorithm, a camera and a facial recognition system gets involved, you are guilty
Just the algorithm is needed for that, for example the Post Office Horizon scandal.
That was my first thought, but it's actually a library for newsreader-type apps that lets a communication happen without exposing the whistleblower (it's like a digital deaddrop - just a tiny change in everyday routines).
I had a quick look and they're doing the things they need to like certificate pinning, so even corporate-level MITM wouldn't be seeing any unusual traffic. I assume they're also blocking access to the screen like banking apps do, which is more secure but annoying for normal users.
And here I was expecting everyone else to say semi-circular too. Humble and simple.
Ah, ok - before reading I thought someone had got their stereotypes mixed up.
