Genuinely fantastic products spread like wildfire on their own, without paid promotion.

I'd love to live in a world where there's no advertising and so therefore the only products available have to be genuinely fantastic.

I can't see a downside - just as many products will still be needed for just as many people, so it shouldn't affect the economy negatively.

What would happen is we would evolve faster and have more safety, reliability, productivity etc. The lack of useless junk polluting the planet would be yet another positive.

Advertising is a net negative on human evolution.

It would be rather easier to understand and explain if it were intentional. Likely not able to be discussed though.

Anyone able to do that here?

(And "bullied goo" what a great concept. Please, write a book!)

Pi is assumed to be infinite, random, and normal. The point here is not these assumptions may be wrong. Underneath them may sit a greater point; that irrationality is defined in a contradictory way - which may be correct, or not, or, both.

Given proof Pi is infinite lay on irrationality, it is rather an important issue. Pi may not be infinite, and a great place to observe that may be Planck.

This applies to every normal, "irrational" number, the name with which I massively agree, because the only way they can be not purely random suggests they are compressible further and so they have to be purely random, and thus... can't be.

It is a completely irrational concept, thinking rationally.

  Infinity has entered the chat.

Ie it's possible to make a case for some of the deaths occuring during the time as "caused by", or "happened during". And those wanting to spin it one way will as suits their particular goal.

I'm going with a middle ground, which is against what I'd think is likely, given what I watched unfolding on livestreams - from people there, versus minimising reporting from the media. Major US cities being randomly set on fire is not "peaceful protest".

(And before someone "corrects" that - four people died at the capitol, but, two were natural causes and one was from drugs. Given the number of people was easily in the high hundreds K, statistically that's less than should generally be expected.)

Because the technical details about a computer are important when describing its technical characteristics.

In short, context matters, and we adapt the meaning of words by the context they're used in all the time. It's ordinary.

In fact, it's so ordinary in this particular case, that all we humans did it for decades, before a weird group not representing the existing organic consensus came along and decided the terms absolutely must be changed, and presented us with extremely silly-sounding ones to replace the existing ones, that of course few adopted, leading to the situation we have today where the existing terms are used interchangably to mean both things, and there is now a greater ambiguity around them than existed before.

It wasn't perfect before, but the "solution" made it worse.

Therefore, it sucks in practice at meeting its goal, no matter how much sense it may make to the minority that thinks "gibibyte" is something anyone would ever want to say in public, other than in a funny voice to a dog or a baby.

In summary (besides the layout-specific stuff which was great) - between the MDN documentation for learning and reference:

And, for checking compatiblity and common practice:

A n00b like me can get a decent handle on current best practice and standards for web dev. Feel levelled-up - much appreciated!

For example - is this CSS grid-generation/layout current best-practice for building the base, foundational layer for a simple static website? Say, with three columns, one centered and wider with content, the others narrow and empty - serving as margins?

And how would one arrive there, as a solution? Searching online turns up an infinity of options such that it's difficult if not impossible to figure out how to do things in if not maybe "the" right or best way, at least "a" right way.

Specifically, he addresses his main focus for Swift providing "progressive complexity"; that failed.

(Note: to find this I searched the timestamped transcript for "failed".)

EDIT: Also it's not quite boot into IDE, but the vibe of both is similar in every other way.

As contemporary of 8-bit arch's it seems retro enough to count.

Binance has hundreds of trading pairs available so a handful on each pair average would add up.

Because new arrivals inject new money into the local economy. A new arrival buys products, pays for services etc. Their foreign dollars often also go further - meaning they can inject more vs a local, who - by nature of the problem - can't hence the need.

You could argue a tax break for locals would do the same thing, but it's not quite the same, as locals paying less tax may tend to choose saving any extra cash rather than change their spend-habits. Foreigners are bringing new money with existing habits.

Covering up a scandal could well be strategic, and serve to control and steer collective conversation.
