doesn’t really even involve every day normal people
You used those additional qualifiers. You’re just back peddling. You’re clearly indicating it’s not a big deal because it’s not people like you who are affected.

Nice dog whistle.
The virctims in gang violence include innocent bystanders.
We all know exactly what you’re really saying here and you’ll deny and make excuses about it.

Someone has calculated the first 100 Trillion digits of pi, so if I understand the equation you’re suggesting they means it is possible to know if pi contains all permutations of all phone numbers.
To keep the nerd going, I believe you’re over counting because not all 10 digits numbers are a valid phone number but I doubt that matters but it does reduce total number of numbers to find.
And if we want to include international numbers the longest possible phone number is 15 digits which falls just outside the range of calculated digits 100 trillion (10e14)

Didn’t say anything about compression.
Indexing and compression are not the same concept.
If there was an index for all 5 digit sequences and their locations, it wood reduce the search space for finding a 6 digit number.
This is about look up speed not saving space. Indexes always increase storage requirements. Always.
The question being asked here is does pi contain my phone number? Not does pi contain my phone number with an index location whose numeric value is shorter than my phone number?

Apparently it’s been calculated to trillions of digits so a bit lacking.
The search on that length would need an optimized index.
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 1 week ago:
I checked a couple but none were found if I included the area code.
Based on my sample size of half a dozen phone numbers, it doesnt seem to have numbers once they are more than 8 digits.
Seems like there should some formula to determine how long the normal number needs to be to have all digits go to a certain length.
Reminds me of the formula for calculating the shortest path to watch all episodes in a tv series in all possible orders.

Ideally, you should be joining a cooperative, guild, and unionize. Let companies consult to you.
Feels like this is where it needs to head. This isn’t material different than going through a recruiting agency except those agency charges +20% of the starting salary.
The idea is the same though. People form relationships with the third party group and the third party group puts their reputation on the line when suggesting candidates.

Look at this red neck hick over here drinking cheap beer who things he’s a god because people tolerate him enough to use him for his tiny island of knowledge around cnc machines.
The only line of work he can maintain because the machine doesn’t judge him for his horrendous stench and ogre like appearance.

- Comment on Forgot a number in my address... 3 weeks ago:
There are ways to verify addresses exist and while an unknown address is possible, it should be extra work for the user to enter such an address such that it isn’t the browser autofilling to blame.
These databases are used for calculating taxes since someone on one side of the street can have a different tax rate than their neighbor on the other side of the street.
- Comment on What was the 'bear vs man' controversy? 4 weeks ago:
Whereas they have to treat all men as though they are their worst iterations just to be safe, and that can be frustrating and confusing and they also know that it’s hurtful to treat men who may not be terrible that way.
It’s more complicated than that. They have to treat men with unearned respect while planning for the worse. Treating man as a threat can make him a threat if he feels his masculinity is threaten he may act erratically.
To put it the other way, they don’t have to worry about managing the bear’s feelings.

Americans actually pay a higher effective tax rate than in civilized countries, while receiving fewer services in return.
Only the very weathy have a lower effective rate because they use discretionary spending to purchase lax tax laws.
America is a shit hole country in deep deep denial.

So he bought a house for 6k 50 years go and now has to pay 2k in property taxes each year. If he was renting that wouldn’t cover two months.
Does he also complain that the sales tax on candy bar is more than he used to pay for a candy bar when he first bought his house?

That you use being offended to be offensive it is a common emotional response. So I accept the explanation that you are of simple mind in this regard.
You’ve have choosen to take the intolerance of one small opinion of mine and expanded it to total intolerance of me as a fellow human.
You do you.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Cool. And yet you keep responding and so what does that say about you? What compels you to continue this demonstration? Do you feel your superior virtue has not be made clear?
It feels like you need to silence me and your method involves intimidating me. What is your justification for this.
Why do draw the line at beliefs? This is all endless curious to me.
I am most curious why your curiosity has this hardline and what makes you feel so extremely justified, so certain. All this allowing you to draw a hard line here of all places.
I expect you won’t elaborate but I suspect it is all based on emotion and not logic.
I’m not sure if it was your another that indicated I should fear being body shamed myself and so how much of all this is based on your fear of being body shamed.
I know mine is partly based on not giving a shit if someone wants to make fun of me because I would never give another person that power over me.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Your assumptions for my reasons for responding is based on your personal biases. It indicates a lack of curiosity as to who I am as in individual.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The issue here is still you thinking I’m offended. I’m not. You continue to insist I am and insist you know my motivations.
You and I disagree I what a bad person is. I can accept that. Why can’t you?
I posted this knowing it would get called out. Literally just said that. It appears you’ve having trouble understanding what I am saying.
I think this makes you a bad person. If you disagree then by your own rules that makes you childish. Does this help you see the fallacy of your logic?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s really weird how much emotion is in all of these responses but it’s really silly when you then claim I am being emotional.
I’ve made no claims to my moral superiority but you and other have. That is a paradox.
We disagree on something. Calling me childish is a bully tactic.
I am true to myself and that offends people in weird silly ways. It results in them applying their imagined prejudices to me.
These are all logical fallacies and if there is one thing I’ve learned over the year is that those who deploy them are not worth arguing with and this is such an occurrence.
I knew it would lead here because the internet is predictable because people are predictable.
For example you will now ignore me or responses with an emotional response, dismisal of my position and list of logical facllicies you feel I am using because you aren’t interesting in a discussion.
You need me to be a bad person
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Nope. I understand logical fallacies.
For example, you calling me a child is one.
