Aperiodic tilings! Just a couple of years ago someone discovered a single tile (down from the set of ~20000 that was first used to prove that aperiodic tiling was even possible) that can completely cover an infinite plane without ever falling into a repeating pattern.

Does navidrome support Chromecast? I've had a hard time finding a self hosted music solution that will actual cast. I do have a public facing domain name with certs that, as far as I can tell, is working correctly.
One group chooses the algorithm and the second group chooses which side they get to on.
In practice this would require the second group to basically have a switch that switches all voters' preferences. So I don't think that's gonna work here.

It's a good game in general, but

If you, as a kid, had to decipher an older sibling's notes in game manual, it hits that nostalgia right on the nose. And then turns it on its head.
Well, they also need things for their base to be afraid of. Gays. Trans. Immigrants. Urban crime. "Only we can protect you from the scary, scary things!”
Oh, and the second one.

If you don't care about the digits of pi being in base 10, there's also a formula that can be used to calculate digits at any position you want in hexadecimal without having to compute the preceding ones!
Is this why the second coming hasn't actually come yet? He's on his dieback?
This is not the same for all crypto currency, but a bitcoin represents a "proof of work". When people "mine" bitcoins, they are consuming computational resources, and when they find a bitcoin, it is a certification of the work that was done to find it that becomes the value of the coin. And then, as others as mentioned, people just agree that that work has a certain amount of monetary value. But the proof of work is what limits the supply and allows that value to exist. 3Blue1Brown has a really good video that goes into the technical details if you're interested.
No, half the country voted for this. Or failed to vote against it.
I went on a trip to Oslo and Bergen last summer. I'd love to go back; they're great places for mixing hiking and city exploration.

Aperiodic, in this sense, doesn't mean that there aren't any bits that repeat. In fact, if you pick any patch of tiles of any arbitrary size, that patch will be repeated infinitely many times. What it means to be aperiodic is that if you slide the whole tiling over so that one of the patches aligns with the repeated bit, there will still be something outside the patch that doesn't align. Compare that with, say, a repeating grid of squares, where if you slide one square onto a different square then everything lines up, all the way to infinity; it's impossible to tell that it's been slid over.
