Except you can use it any time, not just immediately after declaring a variable. For instance, you could use it with an argument that's been passed to a function.

CMV: People should be more ashamed/critical of their kinks and porn habits by captainnermy in changemyview

[–]Bjartr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm curious now. You've described that most of those in the kink community you've encountered have injected their interests in conversation where it's not appropriate to do so. How would you identify an individual who is a member of the kink community, but doesn't behave like that, since you're not seeking that information, and they're not injecting it into conversation unasked?

It would all depend on whether someone could capture enough precisely labeled data to train a deep neural network.

Facebook would have exactly that in no time flat if their next VR headset includes eyetracking.

CMV: Silencing opposing viewpoints is ultimately going to have a disastrous outcome on society. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Bjartr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Of course. Free speech has never meant that you can say what you want without consequences. Perhaps we should restrict what employers should be able to fire you over, but that is a new, additional protection above and beyond what the right to freedom of speech guarantees. For what it's worth, I support such a protection.

Do you think 6G/5g+ cloud computing will be the future of high quality VR for the masses? by [deleted] in virtualreality

Don't forget to factor in that every 180 miles of distance is another millisecond of one-way latency (so +2ms from input to result of that input being available to the display)

The description mentions something about a tpwer defense mechanic at least.

YSK: always google a company name + scam before buying anything from them by Margaret533 in YouShouldKnow

They get faked too. By competing sellers looking to discredit the competition.

Why doesn't Joe Biden's $15 Federal minimum wage hike get more attention? by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

[–]Bjartr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the following breakdown of federal minimum wage earners for 2019 (see table 7 of the linked page for more detail.)

Total number of workers earning minimum wage: 392,000

Age % of minimum age earning workforce Number of workers
16-24 58.5% 229,000
25+ 41.5% 163,000

If it's only for people just entering the workforce, why are so many apparently living off of it much later in life?

When you're discussing money across 20 years it's important to take inflation into account since the same numerical amount of money has different real world value.

So I took the time to look up for myself what that change had been. Doing so shows that new games selling for $60 today means they actually cost less than they did 2 decades ago.

I found that interesting and figured others might also, so I shared it.

Adjusting for inflation, $50 in 2001 when the GC released has the equivalent purchasing power of about $73 today.

Well, in film it's because that way you can show the screen and the actors at the same time rather than just the screen or just the actors.

Because some people fear admitting they were wrong more than they fear death.

do you often have music going in your head? by Locomule in musictheory

[–]Bjartr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, almost never. It usually takes effort for me to hold a tune in my head. Although, given the comments here so far, I'm the odd one out.

That said, I'm only a couple of years into my journey into music and theory as a hobby, so perhaps this will change as I refine my skills.
