I myself prefer unholy capitalism in lieu of pure capitalism

is this relatively good vs relatively bad?

10 hitpoints seem kinda high for that car. I would expect more like 5

After reading multiple papers on stuff like polyomino and coverings etc over the weekend, I sat down to formulate an ILP approach. All the way through I had at the back of my mind "surely he would not expect people to solve something which requires reading research papers, there must be some angle to this which makes it easier". I don't think I have ever been more right in my life and I am really glad I made the obvious fail and succeed checks based on areas lol.

oh man my mind directly went for that. Is this what a mind virus is?

that will quickly turn into "continuously monitor your users' screens for what they are doing so you can detect nudity" where the real aim will ofcourse be surveillance and selling highly personal data. I don't know about Apple but google will be all over it.

That would be R'lyeh

who does? FULU?
