Saying it before something that is not disrespectful would be redundant at best and very confusing at worst.

"With all due respect, how's the weather today?"
"I'm not racist but I prefer tea over coffee."
"I'm not a pedophile but I think terminator 3 is a bad movie."

Those 3,028 people, or 0.000036% of the global population, hold more than 99% of all wealth.

The actual number is closer to 9% than 99%. This is probably some kind of mutation from "the combined wealth of billionaires is larger than the GDP of 99% of countries" where notably yearly income and wealth are not directly comparable.

Better (and true) things to say are "The global top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% combined" or "The richest 0.01% in the US have tripled their wealth in the last 30 years, while 90% of people have been treading water"

it's

    
while (true) {
    let t = Date.now();
    if (timeoutMap.has(t)) timeoutMap[t]();
}


  

of course. Clearly O(n).

I guess it's meant to say "threadiverse's finest"

Nah, it was found sometime before november 24 2021, publicly disclosed in december 9 2021, and only used by 2b2t players on december 10 2021.

The small amount of sales of doom 2 today is not at all comparable to the massive amount of minecraft sales and minecraft-related microtransactions that microsoft is raking in. Doom has many modern sequels that are far more popular today than doom 2, while minecraft does not have any official sequel.

SteamOS for Desktop is imminent

Do you have some source? I recall the latest rumor related to a valve patent is more likely to be about some VR thing than a steamOS PC

"You want to use teams a bit? We have a session here" "I'd be happy to, actually. Not really, but it wouldn't be bad" "Not really? If you say so, I have a teams session ready right here" "No. No. I'm not stupid" "People use it every day." "Tell the truth" "It's a good user experience." "So are you ready to use it? For 5 minutes?" "No, I'm not an idiot."

A spoon being a poor shovel would not be such a big issue, if it wasn't advertised as a great shovel that will revolutionize the construction industry, and if all the construction companies weren't stockpiling spoons and telling their employees they will be fired if they don't use the spoon

What does 'ranked' mean? Doesn't basically every player have a rank?

Also the point is to get attention of broader public, not just those at the labs.

The highest possible attainment, to generate several popular memes about crazy cult member does something slightly odd to show his devotion, but isn't brave enough to do it outside his own home

Taleb's mind just isn't antifragile enough. Or maybe too antifragile. Idk I didn't read his book

Neuroplasticity does drop with age, but the drop is smaller than it was previously assumed to be, especially outside of early childhood (you may note that eg. this graph starts at 20 years old)

wtf is up with that confidence interval(?) though

They got multiple different witches to cast multiple curses (and they mention "Priestess Lilin" by name), but the one specifically called "POWERFUL HEX SPELL" with 2-3 weeks delay seems to be this one by "UrsulaSpells": https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1806923429/powerful-hex-spell-direct-energy-focus?ls=s&pro=1&bes=1

apparently it's in high demand right now

They already have almost all of the discrete gpu market, they'd have to expand to new markets (although they are kind of exploring that already)

"Me" is also one of the "grey NPCs" sooo

Originally planned to post it in this format but thought too much reaction within reaction would be bad (and including mr. theo ai glazer felt questionable)

I wish I knew

club penguin (it's ok, the twitter reply formatting is impossible to understand)
