Norsk Tipping has recently gotten fines (46MNok and 36MNok) from the gaming authorities for other issues:

I'm solving a very related problem with https://cited.news/

It's a news aggregator based on Wikipedia references.

I've created a news aggregator based on Wikipedia references. While this might be comparing apples to oranges, here's the list of the most cited websites by Wikipedia: https://cited.news/domains

It's still a bit buggy, so the "blank" domain is ranked #1, followed by NY Times, BBC and The Guardian.

Fox News is ranked at #93 at that list: https://cited.news/domains/show/www.foxnews.com/citations

I tried adding it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Facebook&type=rev...

The article is dated on 14. of March though, so it should not appear on the front page but here: https://cited.news/wikipedia_pages/date/2019-03-14

My project, the news aggregater Cited News (https://cited.news/), uses Wikipedia references as source for news.

"The Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula (BBP formula) is a spigot algorithm for computing the nth binary digit of the mathematical constant π using base-16 representation. The formula can directly calculate the value of any given digit of π without calculating the preceding digits. (...) Though the BBP formula can directly calculate the value of any given digit of π with less computational effort than formulas that must calculate all intervening digits, BBP remains linearithmic (O(n log n)), whereby successively larger values of n require increasingly more time to calculate; that is, the "further out" a digit is, the longer it takes BBP to calculate it, just like the standard π-computing algorithms."

Re:Traveling Ruby: self-contained, portable Ruby binaries on Monday September 24, 2018 @05:44AM (#18056262)
JRuby (Ruby on JVM) and Warbler[0] solves this problem quite nicely, even though you end up with JARs instead of true binaries. (There are tools for packaging JARs as binaries, if you really want that.)

Not that I've actually read the book myself, but Being and Time by Heidegger seems to fit your description.

Reading it will feel like running into a brick wall, so I suggest reading about Heidegger for context first: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heidegger/

Reading the article above might still feel like running into a wall though (perhaps one of wood, this time). You might want to have a listen to an episode on Heidegger by Philosophize This!: http://philosophizethis.org/episode-100-transcript/
