worth noting, that blacklist filtering decompiled code looks this way (just one line; to show the naming)

    if (iNativeAd.getAdTitle() != null && m12161a(iNativeAd.getAdTitle(), str)

If to believe the naming, it is filtering advertisements.

But the statistic of how often doing X gets somebody in jail is very important measure. (there is a fine for littering, but people constantly drop cigarette butts or gum on the ground, because there is no enforcement. And since there is no enforcement it is perceived as not a serious thing / acceptable behaviour)

Edit: to add to that, there are two dimensions: potential punishment and probability of enforcment. Both are equaly important.

tldr;

- sends various analytics to google and xiaomi

- downloads "blacklist", which contain china-sensitive phrases. Actual filtering is fortunately disabled in EU. (I personally am not sure what filtering actually does. Decompiled code and the blacklist use "Ad" in naming a lot. So if to believe the naming, filtering is for advertisements)

- sends sms to xiaomi for number registration when using cloud. There is some EULA type text, which user must accept for this to happen. Text does mention sms sending there. After sending sms is deleted (user can not check what was sent), its content encrypted, saved in db and sent to xiaomi server.

edit: forgot the fact that blacklist filtering can be turned on by xiaomi at any moment.

It could be useful when discussing lightcones of others.

If we have two alien neighbour planets aranged so, that we are in the middle between them.

Then we could see both aliens' election results at the same time, knowing that aliens still have to wait a bit before they know each other's results.

Manners change over time. Maybe masks will join normal etiquette with other polite things, which benefits everyone around. (such as: closing your mouth when coughing, washing hands after going to the toilet, wearing at least shorts)

I saw advertisements "now 20% cheaper!", while price change (original->new) was 30€->25€.

Marketing always finds a way.. 5/30=16.6%, 5/25=20%

For me "measurement" implies known precision, and some straight-forwardness, simplicity and clear repeatability.

Estimation is on the other hand uses measurements as input and has no clear cut path forward. (you must assume some model)

"Chemistry is just applied physics" ("measurement is just estimating via proxy") might be technically correct, but distinction is still very real and usefull.

why do you need either of those for making a hat?

Regarding Newtonian universe. Is that really true, that multiple pasts can exist? Some source would be very welcome.

how so? if you dont have money you must allocate lots of time to kid after work. if you are wealthy, 1st thing you might not work all and 2nd thing you might have nanny or two, who take care of heavy lifting.

"doing whatever you want" does not equal to "stuff that satisfies for very short periods of time (i.e. not only drugs, games and tv)"

it is compatible, if "thing I want" == "spend time with these people/make them happy"

Spot on.

A bit off topic, but the commented version was much clearer, than the version with separate function. (full sentences are very good at explaining things)
