You can be confidently wrong. It seems like you just don't like the thinking/reasons they did.

How else are they going to track people with a hard-to-change identifier?

There's an option to turn off the inactive tabs feature.

Trying to "share" all of them will crash Firefox, so I manually select 100 and share those, then close those, repeat 20 times (which is how I know how many tabs I had open).

You're not stuck; slowly change addresses with the different companies, people, etc. I did it over the course of a few years without hassle. If you spend $10/year for your own domain, then you can use a catchall, and if you ever decide to leave Fast ail for another provider, you don't have to change all the addreses again.

Maybe it was the Firefox addon Canvas Blocker? That addon was crashing the game, so I disabled it and appears to work now. The game still makes my laptop fans kick on though.

Happened a second time :-( although this time my opponent still had a chance.

Both games where my opponent left, now show as wins in my history.

Also, I like the dice addition, but on desktop, the dice images are not matching up with what is rolled and displayed in the log.

How long does an opponent have until they auto forfeit if they don't move?

I'm running uBlock Origin, and don't care to disable it, oh well.

That's why I only mentioned a different condition which hopefully doesn't lead to bad sportsmanship.

I think there was a HN post a few weeks or maybe a month or two ago that showed which weather forecasting service was more accurate in general by comparing predictions to actual. I think the winner was Microsoft's with about a 70% accuracy (with one or two others only a percentage point or two behind). Does anyone else remember this or have the link?

Pretty cool, thanks!

I was casting my pieces off, guaranteed a win, but my opponent left, so it didn't count as a win for me to my disappointment.

Perhaps if someone leaves and doesn't return within 60 seconds, the game should be a win for the person remaining if the remaining person's pip count is lower.

Can't see the pictures due to login required :-(

I've been on a dark ship in the middle of the ocean and that was pretty good for stargazing, though I guess Australia might be a tiny bit better due to less reflective surface (compared to the ocean)?

Perhaps it didn't compress evenly?

There's no reason a previous universe had to form, expand, or stay distributed evenly.

Leftovers from an old Big Crunch?

Interesting. Did you ask or did they say how often they make that accomodation, or did they talk about any other similar kinds of accomodations?
