Is it too much if I hope for Oracle to bankrupt itself?


You're not alone!


It's even worse for videos with "official" dubs. I have been jump scared by German and French dubs on certain videos recently, I distinctly remember MrBeast, Mark Rober and Nick DiGiovanni. I have set my language to English and my Region to US (worldwide) I don't know what gave YT the idea to preselect these dubs for me, I have seldomly even watched a video that is not English.


Yep. Youtube is the worst:

- If I select German subtitles for a German video, it will auto-translate all English subtitles to German in the future.

- If I select subtitles for an English video, same.

- If the video has an Arabic, Hindi, French human-made subtitle to help that audience, it shows it to me instead of the automatic captions

Horrible.


On a related note: whatever idiot started using keyboard language instead of system language for emoji autocompletion on certain MacOS and iOS Apps, please go die in hell somewhere... I have had this issue randomly pop up with the Telegram client I am using, and it infuriates me beyond belief. Every single setting on my machine indicates that the language I am using is English, why is the search text of emojis tied to the one setting I cannot reasonably change because it is tied to a physical property of my device and not the 4 settings I can and did change.


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.


Why does seeing moot quoted suddenly make me feel old.


Did you even read the article? She specifically traded a million dollar long position on just Nvidia.


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.


This article doesn’t seem to contain any evidence of front running trades. Your claims may be true but this article doesn’t support them.


I would find it hilarious if someone would come up with a password generator that generates passwords that would pass this game.


Should be pretty easy, since you can check the generated password against all the criteria. Making it fast might be difficult though


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...


Well, you could always upload your own YouTube video...

Make the generator use Pupetter and your YT credentials to upload an empty mp4 video of the given length.


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.


Re-upload until you get a good ID


I, too, overfed Paul :(


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.
