How do you "reserve" seats for others? Put a handkerchief on them?

Sounds like logistical nightmare.

How do you keep track of bin space while accounting for variable luggage sizes and compliance?

Put physical dividers in the overhead bins so that oversize luggage won't fit at all and has to be gate-checked.

The main disadvantages are that physical dividers add weight and require maintenance. Also, they reduce flexibility, preventing the ability to tetris more bags into a bin.

Sure, but I suspect that the savings in reduced turnaround times could be enough to offset those things.

All i want is sleep and step tracking. Is this a good option?

Probably not if you care about accuracy. Really good sleep tracking requires more sensors than these devices have.

Quite the opposite. Pebble is great at sleep tracking. They manage to do a better job with Pebble's limited sensors than Apple can with all of their hardware. I have both, I use sleep tracking a lot, and I've compared them.

I got tired of constant updates/apps on home screen/lag and all on my Samsung TV and finally bought a Sony. Everything I do is through Apple TV and Xbox now, Sony is not connected to the internet.

Other than the slow boot (takes about 5 seconds to switch to Apple TV after pressing power button), I have no complaints.

S&P 500 is barely down (~9% as of this post) after returning 23% and 24% respectively in 2023 and 2024. I wouldn't call it ugly, as someone who lived through recession.

A major correction also isn't that surprising. I started planning for it six months ago. The current market behavior is what I'd call "in model". It can always get much worse but this isn't that.

A correction has a specific meaning (drop of >10%). We aren't there yet with regards to the SP500. I think it would be more accurate to call this above average volatility.

As the adage goes, time in market beats timing the market.

Agreed, this seemed inevitable. And as a bull, I don't even think we're close to the bottom for the year

So… you're not a bull then

On the Internet, nobody knows he’s actually a human

Only users who are tech-savy know they are lying.

My mom, who has Ublock Origin installed on her Chrome by me, will never know these details.

Not dreamweaver, But I use Flash (Macromedia) on Windows and Adobe on Mac frequently.

Call it muscle memory, I find it easier to cook a chart, shape and basic resize/crop on Flash.

Re: (10^100)+1-(10^100)

i) Answer is 0 if you cancel out two expression (10^100)

ii) Answer is 1 if you compute 10^100 and then add 1 which is insignificant.

How do you even cater for these scenarios? This needs more than arithmetic.

Uh, what do you mean? The answer is very obviously 1 no matter what.

Obviously it is 1.

But try it on iOS calculator, answer is 0.

Reason is when computing large numbers e.g. 100000........n + 1 - 100000........n, addition of 1 is pretty in-significant.

Yes, if you use limited-precision data types. But you have it the wrong way, if you first cancel out the $BIGNUM (ie. reorder to $BIGNUM - $BIGNUM + 1) the answer is 1; if you first evaluate $BIGNUM+1, the answer is 0 because $BIGNUM+1 has no representation distinct from $BIGNUM. Limited-precision arithmetic is not, in general, associative. Still arithmetic, though, just not in the ring of integers. But the whole point of the article was that it's, of course, possible to do better and get exact results.

>The answer is very obviously 1 no matter what

no, because only in our imaginations and in no place in the universe can we ignore significance of measurements. If we are sending a spaceship to an interstellar object 1 light year away from earth, and the spaceship is currently 25 miles from earth (on the way), you are insisting that you know more about the distance from earth to the object than you do if you think that that distance from the spaceship to the galaxy is 587862819274.1 miles

You are discussing physics. Everyone else in this thread is discussing mathematics. Sorry but you are the one who's off topic.

why would a computer make the mistake that EVERYONE HERE CAN'T GROK?

for the reasons in my comment, and in, according to you, nobody else's.

also, the commment I was replying to said "1 no matter what" and I was pointing out where it would matter what.

This could affect the sales, as there will be less court-side seats.

I personally think the 3-point line needs to be uniform distance. It is 22 feet from the corner compared to ~24ish feet from the center.

My recommendation is to let the home team draw the 3-point line on their court like how baseball stadiums have different dimensions.

Hm, that's an interesting idea.

But why stop there? What about the foul line, key width, court size/half court line?

I feel like the rim height is sacred, but what about backboard size/shape?

Some of these dimensions are different in the international game.

I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’d guess more 3s are made with more backboard visible. Need to be way more accurate from the corners.

(Not that people bank off the backboard, but hit the rim, backboard, in, type accidents)
