That would give you an average message length that's shorter than what you typed. In the case that it was longer, it turned out those users were copying and pasting the content, then maybe editing it a bit before sending.

One fun and not so obvious insight learned from tracking what users type is that some users have an average message length longer than what they type.

I think what you're complaining about is dangerous in the long term. People are becoming frustrated and don't have relief. I bet we're going to see more unrest like the convoy protests.

Out of paranoia, I do all my piracy on a completely different machine than all my banking, taxes, official stuff anyways. Which is also a separate machine than the one I use for work.. How many devices does one person need?

This is the best advice and the largest mistake I made when going to grad school. I was not engaged with what my advisor was interested in and doing. They (kinda rightly) didn't give a shit about anything outside of their lab's sc

It's always been like that, from Dr. Roberts in New York to people flying to South America and paying for ayahuasca trips. Edit for reference: http://www.beatlesebooks.com/dr-robert >Dr. Robert Freymann, whose discr

Super rare indeed! For me, it seems to be around one every couple of years. Just long enough that it becomes a novelty again.

Only tangentially related, but I solved a problem at my work this week with a couple of cleverly crafted MILP programs. Its really exciting in the nerdiest way possible and I need to share it with someone, anyone! I can't write a blog

I wonder what's going to happen with dark matter and dark energy once physicists have it figured out. They'll give the discoveries proper names followed by media and pop culture using "Dark X" for the next few decades?

The "cleaning fees" on Airbnb are super reminiscent of the the "shipping fees" on early 2000s e-bay. The only difference is that it was a somewhat fresh concept with e-bay. The people who built Airbnb should know better.

That's a nice keyboard you have, would be a shame if you had to apply stickers to the keycaps! I'm not even joking, IT distributed sticker packs with all the french chars on them after the inspection. Afaik nobody actually used th

I do wonder how OQLF will deal with WFH now. They once inspected my former employer's office and we had to silly things like ensure every computer had a French keyboard, even if the employee was English speaking. Just in case a French

Also for holding up copies of War and Peace, signs with just asterisks, and even quotes from speeches made by Putin himself. Still, better than what's happened to a few Gazprombank executives and their families recently.

When the consequences for the same crime can vary from [entire paycheck] to [below rounding error on personal finances], the effect of treatment is not equal.
