You multiply vectors and matrizes row by column.
So for any matrix the fitting identity matrix multiplies each row on the relevant position by one and puts it into a column.
The matrix remains the same.
See example 5 here: www.geeksforgeeks.org/identity-matrix/

Well, they had political power. So it was pretty darn important to know them around where you lived.
- Comment on The police state has always been bipartisan 4 weeks ago:
Always have been. And discrediting people as mentally ill is part of the strategy, as can been seen with the example of Ernest Hemmingway, whose FBI surveillance likely contributed to his eventual suicide

Does not mean to be paranoid, but you should always be watchful.

The other day a colleague send me the pdf of some documentation standard he uses. In the media section it recommendee using HD Floppy discs with 1.44MB as all computers have a ready drive for it. CDs were described as being written with a special tool and then readable by a special laser drive, but suitable for long term data storage…
Today i had to ask a 15 year old, if he is familiar with CDs, because chance is most notebooks stopped having CD drives by the time he learned to read.

North Koreans don’t think this. Everybody knows its bullshit. The point is not for people to believe in the bullshit, the point is normalizing the government to get away with obvious bullshit. And this pattern is not exclusive to North Korea at all.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
The “limping on” has been the past 40 years already. Ever since Neoliberalism became the dominant economic ideology and fully embraced by both mayor parties.
Capitalism declines into Fascism. The current administration is not the root cause of the US problems. It is a symptom that is accelerating the decline into Fascism. But the ground work was laid many years ago and defended ever since. We see a similar trend in many other countries that adopted the US Neoliberalism to various extends.

Karl Marx’s theory of alienation describes the separation and estrangement of people from their work, their wider world, their human nature, and their selves. Alienation is a consequence of the division of labour in a capitalist society, wherein a human being’s life is lived as a mechanistic part of a social class

They have the power, if and only if the Police and Army are listening to them based on this being what the laws say.
With Adams in New York we already see an example, how to create a layer of corrupt loyalists that could tell the police to act differently.

- Comment on We're in the endgame now 1 month ago:
The Legislative and Judiciary can only keep the Executive in check, if the people with guns in the Executive are willing to listen to them, rather than the superiors giving them orders.
You have “Legislatives” in dictatorships too. but when they refuse to obey the military any longer, they either get disappeared, get a sham process over something they allegedly did, or at best you get a civil war.
Or how Cersay Lannister said in Game of Thrones: “Power is Power”. When push comes to shove, the question is who do the people with guns listen to. Everything around it is just fluff. Unless large parts of the Military and Police defect and take care of their superior and then hand power back to the normal institutions, or there is a peoples uprising and subsequent civil war, the power will not go back.

You know how old scales worked by putting weights you know on one side, until things got balanced with the weight of the item you want to measure?
You do the same, but with acid and base, where you know the “weight” of one side of it.
- Comment on fck yea 1 month ago:
You ought to get the balance right for things to change the way you like.
Titration is a great example of using the inverse. You get the colour by creating the balance. Then you can calculate the unknown side from the balance with the known side.
Now you can use the knowledge that your your base/acid is of a certain concentration to get the reaction you want to do right.
As for the specifics, once you get to organic chemistry in Uni it doesnt connect to make sense either, unless you really dive into the deep end of it.

I dont think it is specific to conservatives. People who define their identity through their political views tend to be like this, regardless of their political views.
I have experienced similiar behaviour with people who identified as leftists, anarchists, feminists as much as with people who identify as conservatives, liberals…
The annoying thing is, that you cannot respectfully disagree with them on anything anymore, because they perceive it as an attack on themselves directly.

To stay in the dating metaphor:
Would you want the other party to be upfront about serious issues, or prefer to get to know that down the line?
In dating terms these are topics like “do you have children from a previous relationship” or “i plan to move to a different state in a few months”.
If you dont respect the other side enough to discuss these things right away, the relationship is destinend to fail.

I get it that pay is negotiable, but i would expect benefits to be based on general policy for all employees.
And in a place like the US, whether you get healthcare or not is a huge deal. If the company cannot tell you that straight away, the HR just wants to waste everyones time.

Why is this not knowledge taught in school?
It is the first time i hear about it and i have never thought of it, yet it makes total sense and could make the difference between life and death in a storm damaged area.

I mostly know Leiterwagen, because a lot of them have a ladder. Also makes sense because when there is an emergency you refer to the multitude of vehicles that move out and the group of people as a “Löschzug” zu an “extinguishing train” and a train has “wagons” -> Wagen

So we have this verb and the ending in third person plural is -ent but we just dont pronounce that so it pronounces the same way as third person singular…

Meanwhile there is many words that are just two words in english instead of a compound word.
Lets take a typical example for “business” compound-words:
IT-Sicherheitsdienstleister -> IT security service provider.

- Comment on IEEE 754 2 months ago:
Okay thank you. I was wondering because for stuff like buying electricity, gas or certain resources, parts etc. there is prices with higher precision in cents, but the precision would not be identical over all use cases in a large company.
- Comment on IEEE 754 2 months ago:
So if you handle different precisions you also need to store the precision/exponent explicitly for every value. Or would you sanitise this at input and throw an exception if someone wants more precision than the program is made for?

How do you do money? Especially with stuff like some prices having three or four decimals
