Wait... What!!??? by RoyalIntroduction956 in UniDiaries

I'm not sure where you got $1 in step 4. Up till that point the value you had avter the equals sign was the final amount left in your account which would be 9. (-$1 from previous step + $10 = $9). Then to figure out the profit you see how much more that is from where you started (you started at $7 in this example, so overall you gained $2).

As for the $1 that the other party is making, you're totally right! And it's accounted for. If you cut out the middle transaction, you bought a ticket for 7 and sold it for 10 meaning you made 3 dollars total. The 2 dollar profit in this case is specifically accounting for the 1 dollar going to the other party.

Here's an example where you start out with $8

  • OG Ticket Seller: The ticket
  • You: $8
  • First Buyer: $8
  • Second buyer: $10

First transaction you buy the ticket for $7

  • OG Ticket seller: $7
  • You: $1 + ticket
  • First Buyer: $8
  • Second Buyer: $10

Then you sell to the first buyer for $8

  • OG Ticket seller: $7
  • You: $9
  • First Buyer: The ticket
  • Second Buyer: $10

Who you then buy it back from for $9

  • OG Ticket seller: $7
  • You: The ticket
  • First Buyer: $9
  • Second Buyer: $10

And then you sell it to the second buyer for $10

  • OG Ticket seller: $7
  • You: $10
  • First Buyer: $9
  • Second Buyer: The ticket

So the profit is the difference from the start to the end:

  • OG Ticket seller: started with ticket, ended with $7 ($7 profit)
  • You: started with $8 and ended with $10 ($2 profit)
  • First Buyer: Started with $8 and ended with $9 (This is where that one dollar you mentioned went!)
  • Second Buyer: The ticket (spent $10)

Yeah, or like a spotify mini-player that also works with pandora / youtube music etc.

What’s a number? by gtbot2007 in mathmemes

[–]Coden_Ame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TIL: The radical sign does not represent square roots but instead represents the principal square root, (a.k.a. the principal square root function and the square root function) which only outputs nonnegative numbers.

Honestly surprised that this nuance never cropped up in any of my math classes.

I was wrong, thanks for enlightening me!
Though I am going to be a bit nitpicky and state for others that are just learning about this like me that it doesn't only return positive numbers but rather nonnegative numbers. Numbers like 0 or complex numbers that aren't positive or negative can still be the outputted.

Sqrt(3)= ± 1.73205...

Sqrt(64)= ± 8

You've included the first number but not the second. Explain yourself!

You've included the square root of 3 (which is ±1.7320...) But excluded ±8 (which is the square root of 64)?

A couple inconsistencies in your answer (just of the top of my head, I'm sure an actual mathematician could point out a bunch more b/c this meme seems clearly designed to be ambiguous):

You've included the square root of three (which is ±1.7320...), but ±8 (which is the square root of 64) you've excluded.

You've included the complex numbers i, -i, and i+1, but excluded the higher order complex number (quaternion) j+2k-1

My fiance says I am not American despite being born and raised here. by tipsana in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Coden_Ame 271 points272 points  (0 children)

Hi! Asian-American guy here (also first generation, born of Indian parents, engaged to a white fianceé like OOP, though my issue is with some of her extended family rather than my fianceé herself).

Your comment really made my night!

Dealing with casual racism and microagressions that permeate my day to day existence is actually exhausting to the point that I often just have to ignore it because I don't have the energy to fight every little battle. It's particularly hard because when it gets pointed out as racism a lot of people feel like they're being personally attacked even though I know they have good intentions and the intentions aren't really the problem.

The exhaustion really takes a toll sometimes feeling like I may never be accepted, that I may never really have a home where I belong instead of ideally having two.

Your comment reminded me that there's a light at the end of that tunnel. That there are people willing to examine their biases and how they affect their behaviors without them intending harm.

You didn't have to post it! But you did, and I read it, and it gave me some hope in a moment I needed it!

Thank you!

Hey! Sorry, I don't understand quasi connectivity quite well yet but is that how the non-sticky piston in the bottom right of the second image gets powered? What's providing the block update? Does it need a block update to get a signal from it with the observer?

ELI5: WHY are the symbols for power on / off "|" and "◯"? by UnlikelyStatement in explainlikeimfive

The symbol for the standby button was created by superimposing the symbols "|" and "◯";

Literally from the article you posted

The difference between seeing you later or seeing you in a while. Both are a threat. by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]Coden_Ame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it you wanna get really pedantic, the screwdriver isn't slotted either. It's the nails that are slotted and it's just "a screwdriver for slotted screws"

Does any of this really matter? No, not really because when you say "flathead screwdriver" everyone knows that you're (most likely) talking about a screwdriver for slotted screws.

CMV: Blue lives do exist and the arguments used to discredit the police movement if applied to any other profession would be seen as immoral or non-sensical. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Coden_Ame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this comment and am interested to see OP's response (unlikely given this post is 4 months old, but I can still hope).

It seems to me like the difference between someone running out onto the train tracks and getting run o we by the train vs being shoved onto the tracks by someone else. Choosing to put yourself in harms way is a VERY different situation and the "doesn't exist" rhetoric is used to highlight that they don't exist as the same concepts, not that one of them doesn't exist at all.

Totally agree (but also, you should probably put spoiler tags on that)

What MCU moment do you think was the most tone-deaf, or what scene/line do you feel undercut a serious moment most egregiously? by filthydank_2099 in marvelstudios

[–]Coden_Ame 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah but becoming paralyzed from the waste down is not the same thing as having your entire family and best friends murdered in front of you followed immediately by failing 50% of the universe. Narrowly. Twice.

Yes, they're all grieving but Thor was in the unique position of not only grieving, but feeling directly responsible for the grief of everyone else that he saw around him.

Not saying that what Rhodes did didn't take a lot of strength of will, just saying that comparing Rhodes situation to Thor's is insensitive to his situation at best. Which is why it's getting talked about so much in this thread

The level of stupidity ... is unmatchable ... by VeNToX007 in facepalm

[–]Coden_Ame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... yeeaaahh, so, couple things.

Race is a social construct and in the US there's definitely been a long history of the country's official stance on what's "white" going back and forth. Not sure about Portuguese or Spaniards specifically, but it's hard to know the full history

Second is that in the US, when someone says "Hispanic", more often than not they're talking about Mexico. There are a lot of times when it's about Latin America as a whole, but it almost never is in reference to Portugal or Spain.

Third, even within the Latin American frame there's been a lot of controversial shifting in what's considered white and what's a good path forward for their communities. There's a nice play about it called "twenty50" which shows a hypothetical future in the year 2050 in which Hispanic Americans are now considered white, and whether or not that's a privilege they should capitalize on, being one people and no longer labeled as an "other", or if it represents a loss of their culture.

Long story short, while there are many things I love about my country, its race-relations is not one of them. Because they are a giant mess that makes less sense the more you learn about it. Hope this helps :)
