As someone who used to travel regularly between Zurich and Frankfurt (Zurich - Hamburg line ICE) I can 100% tell you that distance is *NOT* the root cause of DB's reliability problems. Infrastructure decline is. From lack of electrification, badly maintained rolling stock, insufficient tracks you find everything. Swiss railways deal with problems like lack of capacity and geography. Deutsche Bahn deals with a lack of maintenance and investment.
I can't believe people in this thread seem to be unironically defending / denying that Pelosi and her husband are front running trades based on her insider information.
Particularly during the pandemic it was just painfully obvious that she was trading based on information that was not available to the public.
Her and particularly her husbands returns are just straight improbable without some explainable edge, and the only logical explanation I have seen is her political position.
I don't think it's easy. Verification is much easier than generating correct solutions for this.
Looking at the JS, these rules use RNG such that you can have an inconsistent or impossible password. E.g. if the only youtube video URLs that work with your duration have roman numerals that multiply above 35 in it you are hard stuck. Your youtube URL can also hard stuck your atomic number summation to 200 if it happens to contain enough elements that adds above 200. Your color hex can hard stuck your 25 sum, etc. The code does not try to generate working passwords given all the rules, it simply adds checks and randomly generates the requirement per rule.
You'd have to have the RNG rules to align well in order to win i.e. youtube video with no roman numerals or numbers or elements, captcha with no numbers or roman numerals or elements, to minimize conflict.
For a given video length, there will be some youtube video urls without roman numerals, and with low digit sum, and atomic number.
I first search this on Google
"0:00 / mm:ss" site:youtube.com
Where mm:ss is the desired length. Then I used some Javascript to scrape the results, finding only youtube urls without roman numbers, and print them out sorted by digit sum and atomic number
I've done it a few times, never had a situation where there was no suitable url
As for the color hex, if it's not suitable, you can regenerate it
I wonder if something like quickcheck could be used to randomly generate characters which pass the criteria. I don't know how it would handle Paul though...
I uploaded a video quick just to pass that step since the length was hard to find. The generated video ID was a bunch of Roman numerals so I was totally fucked.
This game is great! Even though I will need to catch up with whatever was happening in my class for the last 2 hours, I thoroughly enjoyed my time and the fact that I have no idea what the professor is talking about is a sign of how engaged I was.
This opinion may be unpopular, "gatekeeping" is good, at least to a certain degree. It essentially forces people to integrate. Now this can, of course, be really toxic, but on the other hand, it can help to preserve quality (and culture).
Most "communities" nowadays aren't gate kept, and they actively try to tear down gates and general entry barriers, maybe it should become more acceptable again to put barriers up for self-preservation.
I forgot where I read about it, but there are some limits to certain human social groups we all share (paraphrasing from what I remember):
---------------------------------------------
Best friends: 2-3
Close Friends: 15-30
Friends / "Friends": 100-200
Acquaintances: 1000-2000
---------------------------------------------
Something along these lines. With the biggest kind of aha moment for me being that the army (notorious for optimizing everything to the highest degree) has organized itself in similarly sized groups:
