There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, those who don't, those who think it's a ternary joke and those who understand that it works with any base.

Because it's simpler to build siphons through large valleys instead of 100 meter high 10 kilometer long aqueducts.

Selling your data would be stupid, because they make money with the fact that they have data about you nobody else has. Selling it would completely break their business model.

"none of my friends from high school have ever bothered to contact me".

Best line 🤣 Maybe you should contact them.

Compared to many countries in Europe even US "left" is pretty right.

Doubling every three months is an exponential interpolation and not a linear one!

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

🤣 I wasn't even sure if I should post it on lemmy. I mainly wrote it so I can post it under other peoples posts that actually are intended to artificially create drama to hopefully show enough people what the actual problems are with those puzzles.

But I probably am a fool and this is not going anywhere because most people won't read a 30min article about those math problems :-)

I wrote a (very long) blog post about those viral math problems and am looking for feedback, especially from people who are not convinced that the problem is ambiguous.

It's about a 30min read so thank you in advance if you really take the time to read it, but I think it's worth it if you joined such discussions in the past, but I'm probably biased because I wrote it :)

Could also be small hands, so he probably would also have to take someone else's fist to really prove it.
