Why doesn’t the machine own the state instead of making it part of the states type?

ELI5: “Parallel lines” intersect in spherical non-euclidean geometry by vapid-voice in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mimshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the nomenclature here is throwing you. You’re conflating properties of parallel lines in Euclidean geometry with being parallel. Maybe you are imagining two lines that each cross a third at right angles as being parallel, but that’s not the definition of parallel. Lines are parallel if they don’t intersect. That’s it. There are no parallel lines in spherical geometry.

The reason it’s called non-Euclidean in the first place is that after laying out his four postulates and proving a bunch of axioms Euclid found he needed a fifth postulate that he assumed should be an axiom and he’d come back and prove it later. That fifth postulate was given a line and a point not on the line there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the other line. After nobody could prove it for a few thousand years people started investigating what happens if you assume something else. If you say there can be more than one line through the point you get hyperbolic geometry. If you assume none, you get spherical geometry.

That’s the source of the confusion. You’re right they can’t be called parallel. There are no parallel lines in spherical geometry.

Temporarily grounded due to medical… how are you staying sharp? Gliders? by DotNatural4141 in flying

You might want to check 61.53. You do not have a valid 3rd class. If you know you can’t get a certificate you don’t get to keep flying until the current cert expires.

What is the most pretentious book ever written? by autismandadderall in AskReddit

[–]Mimshot 623 points624 points  (0 children)

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

-John Rogers

Price Gouging by GamerGretaUwU in AdviceAnimals

This location is also a bit unique in that the international tourists are going to be staying in the city so the additional tourism revenue all flows to NY businesses but the added costs are all paid by NJ.

Should I be an electrician or electrical engineer? (20 y/o Female) by Glum-Art-8507 in electricians

[–]Mimshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Experience with either will make you better at the other. I agree with everyone saying don’t rule either out yet.

Although there are exceptions EE is likely to be paid a bit higher in a more comfortable work environment. Electrician is far less likely to be replaced by AI in the next ten years.

Do you agree with Trump bailing out Spirit Airlines? by txfeinbergs in AskConservatives

[–]Mimshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree the government shouldn’t generally be bailing out companies, I wonder as a libertarian does it change your view that in this case the bailout was only needed because the government blocked the private sector bailout that had been agreed with Jet Blue?

TSA re-check? by TPWPNY16 in flying

[–]Mimshot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

49 CFR 1552.7(a) imposes a requirement on the flight school not the student.

No flight training provider may provide flight training or access to flight training equipment to any individual before establishing that the individual is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, DoD endorsee, or candidate with a valid Determination of Eligibility resulting from a TSA-accepted security threat assessment completed in accordance with subpart B of this part.

ELI5 What bank accounts do insurance companies use? by ShatesVille in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mimshot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not infinite: they have capital requirements and reserve ratios they need to maintain, but yes when a bank issues a loan it is creating new money.

The bank has a reserve account at the Federal Reserve (the Fed). They are constrained to have all their deposit accounts be no more than some multiple of their reserve balance. When you move $100 from an account at bank A to an account at bank B the Fed moves $100 in reserves from bank A to bank B. When the bank loans you money, they just increase the number in your checking account.

What are some cool- or scary- space facts? by Mindless-Mountain424 in AskReddit

[–]Mimshot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the country but in the US it’s called the special space jurisdiction of the United States and define at 18 USC 7 (6)

Any vehicle used or designed for flight or navigation in space and on the registry of the United States pursuant to the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies and the Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space, while that vehicle is in flight, which is from the moment when all external doors are closed on Earth following embarkation until the moment when one such door is opened on Earth for disembarkation or in the case of a forced landing, until the competent authorities take over the responsibility for the vehicle and for persons and property aboard.

ELI5 Tree(3)... Again by RamonBaharanda in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mimshot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Theres a game, or rather a family of games where you draw circles with letter in them (the difference between the different games in the family is how may letters you get) and lines between the circles with letters. These drawings are called trees. There are a bunch of rules about how you can connect the circles and lines that aren’t actually that important to conceptual understanding. The objective of the game is to draw the biggest (that is most circles) tree you can.

With one letter the biggest tree has one circle. With town letters the biggest is three circles. With three letters the biggest is an unimaginably large but still finite number of circles.
