I've had a great experience here on fedia.io. It's a smaller instance, and it is running Mbin instead of Lemmy, but everything federates over so you get the same content. Might feel a bit weird switching from Lemmy, but if you feel like it I'd recommend giving it a try. :)
We're also defederated from Hexbear, lemmy.ml, and Lemmygrad if that's a factor.
Nothing at all. That's why we have captchas.
For the first problem, just use a throwaway email service (I like temp-mail.org) to make your account.
Yeah that is waaay too small for a Skittle.
You're right! Let's say we have two dice:
D₁ is fair and has a 1/6 probability of rolling each number from 1-6.
D₂ is weighted, with probabilities P₁, P₂, P₃, P₄, P₅, P₆ to roll each number.
We roll D₁, and get a number with the following probability distribution:
1: 1/6
2: 1/6
3: 1/6
4: 1/6
5: 1/6
6: 1/6
We roll D₂, and get a number with the following probability distribution:
1: P₁
2: P₂
3: P₃
4: P₄
5: P₅
6: P₆
We find the probabilities of every combination of rolls that yields a 7:
1+6: 1/6 P₁
2+5: 1/6 P₂
3+4: 1/6 P₃
4+3: 1/6 P₄
5+2: 1/6 P₅
6+1: 1/6 P₆
Adding these together to get the total probability of rolling a 7, we get 1/6 (P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + P₄ + P₅ + P₆). Since the probabilities of rolling each number must sum to 1, we get a probability of 1/6 to roll a 7, and your gut is right. :)
7 is the only number where this property holds. Other numbers will have a probability dependent on the weighting of the die, which could be calculated with a similar method.
Probably not. IIRC for security the fingerprint data is stored and processed entirely in the reader, and not accessible at all by the OS. Of course they could have some sort of backdoor that allows collecting that data, but that would be a huge scandal waiting to happen.
Fewer creeps here than on Reddit.
Hmm I think I vaguely remember that post; definitely wasn't referencing it in my comment though.
No worries, it happens lol.
Seagulls are known for stealing food and running (well, flying) off with it.
Wdym bait?
The site this screenshot comes from, SpotWx, is actually really awesome for looking at weather forecasts in detail. (Most of their models are only for North America, sorry Europeans).
I'll be drying the silver out and weighing it sometime in the next couple days. Closest guess when I do gets bragging rights! (And absolutely nothing else)
The scale was zeroed with the beaker empty, and it contains only water and silver (and a trace amount of copper nitrate). If you have a strategy behind your guess, please do share it!
People who are actually smart, regardless of their IQ score, know that IQ is a terrible measure of intelligence and would never brag about it.
