Took me a while..... 314GB because Pi=3.14....
- 8ig8 11y agoPi Day is celebrated March 14th (3/14)... http://www.piday.org http://www.piday.org
- jon-wood 11y agoOr as the rest of the world calls it 14/3. International Pi Day is celebrated on the 22nd of July.
- bitwize 11y agoWestern Europe != world. China, Japan, and perhaps other Asian countries use YMD format. (Which imho is God's chosen format, since it sorts trivially.)
- jon-wood 11y agoI had no idea that was the case, but what do I have to do to emigrate there?
- _lce0 11y agoOr in November, in the 314st day of the year
- daemin 11y agoOnly in the USA (and where such an absurd date formatting is used).
- carlob 11y agoHungary uses YYYY/MM/DD which is my favorite, because it's consistent with the endianness of numbers.
- nkrisc 11y agoInconvenient for computing and manipulating data, for sure, but not absurd. It matches nicely with what is a common pattern of speech in American English when talking about dates. We more often say, "March sixteenth, [2016]" instead of "The sixteenth of March, [2016]." Besides, neither US nor Europe have it right. YYYY-MM-DD is the way to go.
- Jgrubb 11y ago"Currently available for $31.42".
- yohui 11y agoWhich is 31.4% off the $45.81 retail price.
- dragontamer 11y agoI almost feel like they inflated the price for the lulz, so that the 31.4% discount would be in effect.
- kbenson 11y agoI can't think of another reason why that situation would occur, so my feeling is stronger than "almost".
- iamphilrae 11y agoPi is 3.1415, so rounded to four numbers that's 3.142.
