Assuming sqrt(2)/2 is one of the elements of your set between 0 and 1, there are! See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countable_set

It's not that they are considered even, they just are. There's no way to encode a large odd even-radix floating point number. You have some (small, compared to the range that the exponent can encode) bits of significand and once

In IEC 60559* floating-point arithmetic, pow(-1, ∞) is 1. This is because all large binary and decimal floating-point numbers are even, and thus so is infinity. *this is the successor standard to ieee-754 and shares text in recent revision

Um. Aren't we talking about stoves? Heat pumps aren't usable for this application. Even in the furnace case you need fairly ideal numbers for the heat pump to overtake the loss of 50% you're taking just in the generation step

Do they really, though? Because even pre-Uber most taxis took cards but their machine was always conveniently broken.

What in the world are you talking about? Taking a brief look at Airalo, it looks like it'd cost me $4-5 per gigabyte to buy an eSIM. I literally see no unlimited options on Amazon. Randomly navigating to telekom.de, I see a front page

It's the opposite. You just really, really need to not be a US citizen.

I think the value is actually towards the Fidelity CMA right now and I'm saying this as a long-time Schwab enthusiast. To your points: 1. No minimum opening or ongoing balance required on the CMA. Note. You don't have to open a se

Errrr, I assume your app can pass said authentication? If so, then it's meaningless; that's again a secret not under your control.

You can do this without the opportunity cost of an apprenticeship.

Usually PayPal gives you your money back after 180 days (after it is mostly chargeback-proof). Was that not even an option here?

The experience for sporadic sellers is probably not very good because that's not where eBay really makes its money from. I'm happy they still allow it though; sites like Amazon have just made it impossible to work as somebody who

That's definitely not the case in my experience. Has this improved in the recent past?

Regardless of whether or not that's true, that's also not the impressive number you think it is. Human-driven cars have a fatality rate of about 1 per 100 million miles travelled, and that's including drunk drivers, inattenti

VINs are by design very visible on cars? You could get the same information by just going to the lot... Though the overall lesson of the story is good: analog redactions with a permanent market and a b&w photocopier are recommended for

Priority boarding offers a slight bit of insurance against the possibility of the plane running out of overhead compartment space. The post you're responding to is essentially a complaint that they purchased insurance (at a known negat

I don't think you have an operating understanding of legal tender. No widely-applicable law in Canada or the US requires businesses to accept bank notes to settle a transaction. See e.g. https://globalnews.ca/news/

The problem is that there are two separate types of regulation here, as the article alludes to (it admits that the airline seat thing is just a random subsidy). Resort fees and concert ticketing fees have the problem that you can never figu

"exponentially" is not something you can just colloquially throw about in this sort of discussion. The numbers are bounded by n^6, and the whole point of the table is that it seems like it's growing at even less than that.

Wait that's literally what happens with haircuts too. The price board, if you're lucky to go to a place with one, states something like "$20 up", whatever that means, and you're supposed to tip on top of that.

No, this doesn't work. See e.g. https://www.taxconnex.com/blog-/covid-surcharges-and-sales-t... for cases where it's explicitly been made clear that surcharges are also subject to tax.

Wow that figure is bad. The table compares only the situation where both dice roll the same labeled side, which isn't meaningful (you would be able to conclude that a d6 + 1 is a worse die than a d6 this way...). But at least the numbe

what? no, it has nothing to do with simpson's paradox, which is a property that comes from conditional probabilities (of which there are none in this problem; each die roll is independently distributed).

Sure, and penalties might not be assessed. But that doesn't stop you from being liable for the unpaid taxes.

Is it though. You're the one liable for issues on your tax return. You're the one who signed the return.
