Thanks for the feedback! I've fixed this display bug on mobile devices.

If you find yourself playing it daily, please share with your friends! :)

Maybe they invested a lot of personal money in BTC, tweeted, and hoped for a large short-term gain from the increased value of BTC?

Sure, but in this analogy, if other students cheat off your test, you're punished for it.

Setting aside all of the other absurdities that Google has been throwing out here, the one thing that really gets to me is the concept that "ad fraud" is even a type of punishment for Google. I run an site with Google Ads, and users of my site have, in the past, realized this and purposefully ran autoclickers on my ads in order to get me banned from AdSense.

I don't understand how they can blame the publisher for this type of action. I understand they obviously can't pay out for the fraudulent clicks, but instead of banning the account, simply don't count the fraudulent clicks! What's so difficult about that?

Haha yep, he's still teaching. My semester of instruction from Prof Hillfinger was cut in half thanks to the pandemic though :(

I noticed this before but didn't really give it much thought like "worst comes to worst they delete all my repos, so what?" but I realize now that someone could literally rewrite the commit history and inject a virus into a popular repo without anyone noticing. This is terrifying and definitely needs to be addressed.
