You should probably say somewhere that the questions are US-centric. For example, "the death penalty should remain legal" doesn't make sense in places where it isn't.

You can't realistically target anyone outside the US with this.

Hi! This is part of Jewish religious purity law and not usually taken as part of the rules that govern most Christian denominations. For example, women who are menstruating are usually not banned from participating in Christian services, and any other people would be unsuited to partake in Temple service according to Jewish religious law are usually allowed to participate in worship in Christianity.

Hi! Great work! Could you add support for other amounts of measures such as 3/4?

You could store UTF-8 encoded data inside the hidden bytestring. If some of the UTF-8 encoded smuggled characters are variation selector characters, you can smuggle text inside the smuggled text. Smuggled data can be nested arbitrarily deep.

> Obviously, nobody steals things while the train is in motion.

Something interesting: I live near a train line where the doors are not automatic (they have to be opened manually on each stop), and there have been incidents where people get pickpocketed while the train is still in motion, and the thief jumps out right before the station, when the train has slowed down significantly but is still in motion. Many people have been hurt doing this.

It would be interesting to see the opposite of this; which papers are really interesting and look useful, but did not end up having a significant impact?

I used to use this frequently, but unfortunately at some point my /8 IP range was blocked from uploading files. Most likely because bot traffic outweighs legitimate traffic, since I live in a third-world non-english-speaking country.

Note: This just says that any GoL pattern that can be constructed by a universal constructor can be constructed from 15 gliders. A universal constructor is a GoL pattern that can construct a very diverse set of patterns, but not any pattern. For example, Garden of Eden patterns are excluded from this category.

You might find this interesting, if you didn't know about it already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_(computer_worm) . In 2005 someone wrote an XSS worm in MySpace that made everyone follow a single person. It worked by injecting itself in the victim's profile description. It quickly reached more than a million people.

This was the injected JS code:

    document.getElementById('name-input').value = document.getElementById('yay').outerHTML; setName(); console.log('yay')

The `<img>` tag I used was wrapped around a `div` element that had the `yay` id. I used `onload` instead of `onerror`, with an image link from Wikipedia.

I wrote an XSS worm that turns people's names into "yay" (and the worm code) but made myself immune to it. Now someone will have to figure out how to write a counter-worm to remove the worm from the lightsaber population. Until then, the "name" feature will be permanently held hostage (by the yay worm)
