I’m failing to understand why we would need decimal units at all. Whats the point of them? And why do the original units havr to change name to something as ridiculous as “Gibibyte” while the unnecessary decimal units get the binary’s old name?
Reject MiB, call it “MB” like it originally was.
The US government doesn’t want an adversary government to have the data of its citizens (because of varios reasons, including mass manipulation for example). They would of course have no issue with having that data themselves though (also because then they would be more in control over how the data is handled).
But not for a foreign government (from their perspective).
If that’s Bitcoin then this would actually give you, at the current exchange rate of BTC to USD:
0.000000000002557444% USD. If you got that card once every milliscond, you would need 31 years to have 2.5$.
I doubt you’d be rich with one card except lol.
11-20 = -9 10-19 = -9 -9 = -9
Fixed that for you.
A 3rd party votes subtracts one vote from Biden’s total vote count, so to say. Here is the 1M$ math equation you desire (assuming you would usually vote for Biden):
Definitions:
(I) VoteDifference = VotesTrump - VotesBiden
(II) VotesBiden1 = EveryoneElsesVotes + YourVote (Scenario where you vote for Biden)
(III) VotesBiden2 = EveryoneElsesVotes (Scenario where you vote for a 3rd party)
Calculations:
(II) VotesBiden1 = EveryoneElsesVotes + Yourvote =〉VotesBiden1 - YourVote = EveryoneElsesVotes (III) VotesBiden2 = EveryoneElsesVotes =〉VotesBiden1 - YourVote = VotesBiden2
(I) VoteDifference = VotesTrump - VotesBiden
VoteDifference1 = VotesTrump - VotesBiden1 VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump - VotesBiden2
=〉VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump - (VotesBiden1 - Yourvote) =〉VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump + YourVote - VotesBiden1 (!!!)
THUS WE CONCLUDE:
In scenario 2 (which is the one in which you vote for a 3rd party), the vote difference (which determines who won and by how much), is EQUIVALENT to one additional person voting for Trump. You’re welcome. I don’t even need the 1.000.000$.
Would you think the same if the dad had told his buddy “500k € for the website”?
Lots of websites with menus on the left!
Can you send an example? I’ve only seen these foldout side bar menus.
No, you tried shifting the discussion and when I told you what was being discussed, you simply said you’re uninterested.
First, you’re taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger.
No I’m not. I never claimed anyone was in danger.
Second, it’s laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into “this would kill all U.S. spies.”
Yeah it is and nobody did. I certainly didnt.
I don’t care about impossible thought experiments
Then don’t comment on one and don’t waste my time telling me that my answer to a morality question is “ridicolous” because it didn’t happen.
Yeah but the backdoor does not work on Arch (as far as we currently know). It relies on a linking of libraries that Arch doesnt do by default.
First, you’re taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger.
No, but the statement we are discussing assumes this from the start: “I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life.”
Second, it’s laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into “this would kill all U.S. spies.”
Yeah but we’re discussing the case where it would kill all spies. My statement was in response to (I repeat): “I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life.”
Finally, the U.S. has fucked over countless lackeys in the past and will continue to do so. Dying for your country is what these people already signed up for
Yeah but this is not “dying for your country” (it wouldnt benefit the USA in any way) but rather “dying for a single civilian of an adversary country”. They didnt sign up for that.
I would not “happily” sacrifice anyone’s life. How about that? Anyway, Russia obviously didnt take the threat seriously and that was the actual issue.
But even in your case of letting all the spies be killed to save one civilian, it would in the end result in more dead civilians because if a country does that to its own spies, nobody will want to be a spy for them anymore, thus less “protection” overall.
How about not sacrificing anyone’s life?
Thanks :)
On a seperate note, brain size does not relate to intelligence.
I would happily sacrifice the life of every single […] And you are a bad person if you wouldn’t.
…says everything one needs to know about your morals and your attempts at manipulation.
If Russias response was to call the warning a “provocation by the USA” then yes. They just dismissed it and this is what they got.
Well, thank you for taking the time to write this detailed explanation!
Windows and MacOS use the abbriviation “MB” referring to the binary units, correct? How come that these big OS’s use another unit than these large international bodies recognize?
On a side note, I’ve always found it weird why HDDs or SSDs are/were sold with 128GB, 265GB, 512GB etc. when they are referring to decimal units.
