It's not about weight, it's about having the light work when you need it. Ensuring the battery is not empty at the time you want to ride it and it is night is not always convenient I'm talking about commute, not sports, here.

No, finding an ad is a random process that you can't control, so 'finding an ad to unsubscribe' would be a complex process. Instead if subscribing is done through an online form, so should be unsubscribing. If subscribing req

Computers can also include physics based random number generators so that's still simulatable. And analog computing also is possible. Quantum computing not really yet but theoretically possible. Not sure if any other wizard hat things

For math too, 0-based indexing is superior. When taking sub-matrices (blocks), with 1-based indexing you have to deal with + 1 and - 1 terms for the element indices. E.g. the third size-4 block of a 16x16 matrix begins at (3-1)*4+1 in 1-ba
