So buy directly from China using AliExpress (fuck temu) and cut out the Amazon tax?
When America companies do this, it’s white labeling and they sometimes adds a warranty, better package etc.
With Amazon you just pay the Amazon tax. The products they are describing aren’t coming next day. It’s literally the same speed as AliExpress with a worse return policy. AliExpress will refund and let you keep the item.

Such content already exists.
There’s a Streisand Effect that occurs when writing about what you don’t want instead of lifting up what you do want.

- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 2 weeks ago:
In the Nutcracker, at least, they’re pretending to fence, in a choreographed dance.
And no one writes stories about who won the fencing match.
Wrestling takes things to a ridiculous level compared to all other performances.

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)
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 3 weeks ago:
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?
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 3 weeks ago:
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? 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say 4 weeks ago:
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.

Long before they’ll ask on their own, they’ll learn about it in school every and ask you questions prepared by their teacher about how it affected you.

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... 1 month 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? 1 month 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.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
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.

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.
