There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.

Norwegian here. Blame entirely justified. Our greenwashing is gross and dishonest.
I’d love if it was more popular!
Mighy try and make at home. Parfait ice cream is reasonably uncomplicated. Wonder if I should make it from dried apples.
Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.
My bank: “We have a new valuation on your home! Open your app to see it!”
…
“It’s down 2%!”
Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.
Can you give an example of a possibility you think of? In its simplest form it’s exactly your house wifi if you disconnect your internet uplink. Anything bigger is also exactly a subset of the current internet disconnected from the rest, plus you having to maintain infrastructure.
there are many details in one image, and the chances of some player recognizing one of those details is an instance of the birthday problem?
That would be a valid model. But you are still right that it doesn’t apply: It would give the effect that a different geoguesser would get the picture right every test, while we are seeing consistent results from the top geoguessers.
I see your point, but the Birthday Problem would apply differently.
It is the chance of “collision” between randomly picked elements from two large enough sets of comparable random data. If I understand correctly, the random data here would be “geographical fact” like bush density and road width. Set A is geoguessers’ geographical knowledge, and set B is pictures’ geographical features.
So if we picked hundreds of random picture and hundreds of geoguessers and asked them, the chance of one guessing one image is high. And the person would be largely dfferent every time.
In this case, we can give one specific geoguesser a large amount of pictures and that same geoguesser would get most of them right.
As a hiring manager for nearly 4 years straight, dealing with way way more than 100 applicants for some positions, I know it takes minutes at most.
All hiring systems have ways to send batch emails to rejected candidates.
If you don’t have a hiring system for some reason, it’s still just hitting reply/ctrl-v/send to each applicant you move out of the “possible candidate” inbox.
Giving a reason “why” tends to hit people badly if they didn’t specifically ask, so a stock response is not only easy to give, but the best response. Whether and how to respond in more detail to people asking for “why”, is a less easy decision but good if you are able to.
There are a few benign-ish ways this happens, based on my experience from working on “the other side”. They reflect shittily on the hiring manager, but not on you:
You got no immediate rejection because they did consider you valid for the position, just not first place. Then they got a match on the first place and stopped giving a shit about the applicant backlog.
They got too many applicants and threw half in the garbage.
Upper management put a freeze, or reduction, on hiring right as they put an ad out.
They have a person already picked for the position, but they will get in legal or corporate or PR trouble if they don’t pretend to do a proper hiring process.
Their application process, human or computer, lost your CV.
My mind has been shattered.
For the same reason cows moo but a moose don’t cow.
DragonBox have been excellent. Been a few years and ownership changes since I looked at their games, so hopefully they haven’t enshittened.

They’re given as algebraic, which are countably infinite since they can be mapped 1-to-1 with integers.
Thanks for answering! I was afraid it would be taken as sarcasm but I genuinely wanted to know.
If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.
Skyrim is ported to RealityV3. It is still buggy. Hackers have successfully run Doom on a hydrogen atom. Gamers are shitting and yelling that someone put a Martian as a playable character in Red Dead Redemption MCMVII.
They speak what their parents and neighbors speak. This is constant even when borders shift.
The formal language they conform to is the nearest administrative region, usually in the country controlling the town.
