I can vouch for the Samsung HMD Odyssey not having a screen door effect at 1440 x 1600 resolution per eye, but I'm sure sensitivity varies from person to person.

It seems like you should be able to win most of the time by guessing three words with distinct letters before you even put any thought into it. For example, start by guessing "lathe," "drops," and "cumin." That covers the 15 most commonly used letters. It makes sense that the best strategy would be similar to what happened with the bonus round in Wheel of Fortune, where eventually contestants would start off with RSTLNE, so eventually they gave the most common letters away for free rather than repeat the formality each episode. Unfortunately, this takes some of the fun out of it, but since you start with no information each game of Wordle, it would make sense to always start with the same 5-letter guess at least. Perhaps the game could be improved by starting with at least one piece of information - off the top of my head, I'd suggest showing 5 letters that aren't in the solution and giving one less guess.

Your entire sequence is evenly spaced. All of the blues are 1 spaced evenly 1 bead apart and it is the same for all of the reds.

of the time I taught sand to make a fresh mushroom pizza from scratch. I flipped over an hourglass and asked my daughter to order pizza when the sand stopped falling. It worked about 70% of the time.

Do you NOT realize this is precisely the root of much discrimination? If ON AVERAGE people who grew up in a less affluent neighborhood are not as qualified for computer programming jobs, does that mean it is good or even okay to screen applicants based on this information? If 60% of the people working in a particular field are a certain ethnicity, religion, gender, height, hair color, etc. does that mean these qualities are proven to correlate with professional competency in this field? Even if they were correlated, they are unlikely to be directly correlated. Having a degree in mechanical engineering makes you more capable of working as a mechanical engineer. Most mechanical engineering students are men. That does NOT mean you can infer that a woman with a mechanical engineering degree is LESS capable than a man with the same degree.

To be kind, that is a naive economic assertion. Ideally, this would be true in an efficient free market, but in reality, it is not. People do not make purely efficient financial decisions where the money or attention they spend reflects a pure preference based on economic value. Additionally, collusion or even criminal behavior among the haves can lead to undervaluing of the economic benefit of the have nots. It is also a false assertion as eliminating the minimum wage would result in some being paid less, but their value to society would actually increase since they would be providing the same work for less compensation. Also, do you really think that every celebrity provides several magnitudes greater value to society than each trash collector, construction worker, line cook, or grade school teacher? Another counterexample - if I buy the rights to a drug and mark up the price 100 times to make a profit, what value did I just provide to society?

looks at the barrier reef as 2/3 dead. An optimist looks at the barrier as 1/3 struggling to stay alive.

If they include FreeCell, it will be a hit. Most people on use their desktops for the internet browser, MS Office, and FreeCell. With the upcoming dock promised by Samsung, my dad will finally be able to toss out his win98 Compaq Presario.

What confuses me the most about common practices is the small number of attempts many platforms allow before they lock your account. How did three tries become standard? I could understand if the password was an atm code, with 10k possibilities, but many of these platforms require fairly strong password to begin with. I often enter one or two incorrect passwords if I am not paying attention - caps lock, typo, num lock, etc. Is allowing 10 attempts really that much more of a vulnerability?

The key word is "taxpayer." If you don't pay taxes, you are not really a person.

ah, their mistake was the MicroSD card is only 0.01 cubic inches.

From the article: "A MicroSD card is only .1 cubic inches, so if all things were equal you could stuff 100 64gb cards into a cubic inch of space! But, that does not seem realistic. In fact it doesn't even seem remotely possible." Perhaps that's because 1 cubic inch = 10 * 0.1 cubic inches and not 100 * 0.1 cubic inches.

It makes more sense to offer a Masters program online than a Bachelors. Masters programs stick strictly to one discipline and are often targeted toward working professionals who would not benefit from extracurricular activities, living on campus, having access to abundant campus resources, job placement services, etc. Offering a Bachelors degree online means you have to get the whole university represented for general education classes and some of the normal gen ed requirements (e.g. speech and communications class) might be impractical to replicate online.

how do express that in c# as executable code?

This is one of the most blatantly homo-phobic posts I've seen. Have you ever met someone who had 2 moms or 2 dads (or someone conceived in vitro)? I have and they were not ashamed by that. Why on Earth should they be ashamed by that? I'm not ashamed that my parents are jewish, despite that being jewish is probably less common than being homosexual.
