Sounds like the culinary world would benefit from having a measurement system that accounts for these factors.

At least there would be no copyright or trademarks.
Also I am meta corp, please paid the overdue invoice.
Also, we have annexed mega corp local shoppe and confiscated all inventory. All inventory is 90% off, this a fire sale; we’re burning this mother fucker to the ground at midnight.
- Comment on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy plays up his retail rivals’ worst nightmare: Trump’s tariffs may actually strengthen Amazon 3 weeks ago:
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? 4 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.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 1 month ago:
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.

specific group of people
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?
- Comment on Am I entitled to compensation? 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on I don't have any kids or anything but want some one day. I grew up under the fog of 9/11. How do you go about explaining terrorism and evil to young kids without storybooking it? 1 month ago:
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... 2 months 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? 2 months 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.

Every musk fanboi has repeatedly claimed this “last few months” line for the past several years. If it was actually true the car would be sentient by now.
