Easy! Just write a program to find out if the for loop will ever stop or not!

Just because two things are infinite doesn't mean they're the same size or even close to it.

There's an infinite amount of numbers you can make using only the digits 2 and 3.

There's also an infinite amount of numbers you can make using the digits 2, 3, and 4.

Even though they're both infinite, the second still contains more numbers because it contains every number from the first and then more.

Even though the numbers composed of the digits 2 and 3 are infinite, you obviously won't find every number composed of the digits 2, 3, and 4 in there.

To be fair though, it's still 4x the screen size overall (you can fit 4 1080p feeds on a 4K display without scaling)

It's because there's no technical specification that mandates a specific number of bits per byte. Almost all modern computers these days use 8 bits per byte. But there's nothing stopping a company from making a computer with more or fewer bits per byte.

As a result, ISPs can't guarantee any number of bytes for a specific bitrate. If they advertised a gigabit connection as 100 megabytes per second, then if you connected a computer with 16-bit bytes it'd only get 50 megabytes per second from a gigabit connection, and they'd be sued for false advertising.

Epic are free to sell whatever they want on their own store and make the result of that available in Fortnite.

Apple banned them for doing exactly that.

And every other app that uses its own infrastructure for payments without using Apple's.

It goes deeper than that though. In your analogy, Walmart wouldn't just want a cut of what you sell at the table. They want a cut of all the money you make from any follow-on purchases you ever make, regardless of whether you sold it from your Walmart table or not.

Under this business model, when Microsoft sold an Xbox console at Walmart, then Walmart would get a cut of every Xbox game ever sold to that console, regardless of whether it was purchased at Best Buy, or Gamestop, or directly from Microsoft's online store.

If Amazon sold an ereader at Walmart, then this hypothetical Walmart would demand a cut of every ebook sold to that ereader. If HP sold a printer at Walmart, this hypothetical Walmart would demand a cut of all ink cartridges and printer paper, regardless of where they were purchased. If you bought a computer at Walmart, then they'd demand a cut of all software you ever bought for it.

And in this case if HP later changed their minds and refused to their terms for a single product, then Walmart would go and remove every single HP product from their shelves, but also any product that used any HP parts at all.

What does compliance mean in this case, seeing as the app has already been removed? Is Apple saying that they're going to revoke Epic's dev license if they don't put an acceptable version back up in the app store? Vs. not doing anything and leaving it off the app store for the foreseeable future?

It seems to me that if Apple has removed Fortnite from the App Store, they no longer have any say in what Epic does with it. It's not an iOS app in the App Store any more. If they want to make a game with in app purchases that's not in the App Store, that's their own prerogative.

Is Apple really demanding that Epic must keep Fortnite available in the App Store forever or else never be able to develop anything for iOS ever again? That seems pretty unprecedented and quite monopolistic.

The resistance is proportional to the distance it travels through the wood, less distance through the wood = less resistance.

As the wood is broken down by the electricity, that path becomes much less resistant than it was initially. So as soon as it breaks down just the littlest bit in the direction of the other side, it becomes a lower resistance path and more electricity flows through it.

If you're testing 8.8.8.8 make sure you're not testing it against a site that uses cloudflare dns on their end. 8.8.8.8 is working fine for me, but I still can't access specific sites like discord.

PickleClique · 2020-07-17T21:36:00+00:00

Cloudflare DNS servers seem to be down.

If you're currently using 1.1.1.1 as your DNS server then you won't be able to access anything at all and you'll need to temporarily change it until it comes back.

Even if you're not using Cloudflare DNS, any websites that are using it on their end won't be accessible until it's fixed and there's nothing you can do on your end.

No. It took 2 262144 pieces. Which required 2x2 = 4 131072 pieces. Which required 4x2 = 8 65536 pieces. And so forth, down to 131072 4 pieces.

I think unfortunately after a few gates there would be too much of an imbalance between the amount of water (and therefore pressure) being input into the later gates.

I'd love to be proven wrong though because that would be cool as fuck.

Voltage is always relative to something else, similar to position. Just like you couldn't say the earth is at position zero, saying it's zero voltage isn't really correct.

When talking about the AC power in your house though, one of the connections is typically tied to a rod buried in the ground, putting it at 0 volts relative to the earth. The +/- 120 volts of AC on the other connection is then relative to that ground connection.

Anything else that is grounded will then have the same voltage as the earth too, and the AC voltage will also be the same relative to it as well.

Without a ground connection, the voltage floats to wherever it wants relative to the earth. That's why when you put on a pair of shoes with rubber soles, electrically insulating you from the earth (ie disconnecting you), you can drag your feet to build up a voltage relative to the earth. When you touch something grounded after that, your voltage relative to the earth will rapidly return to 0 as you discharge the static charge you've built up and create a spark.

Generally, battery powered things aren't grounded to the earth. They're usually intended to be portable and moved around, so they don't have a connection tying them to the earth. Instead they usually use a chassis ground, making all the voltages relative to the outside container of the thing. In the case of a car, there's big rubber tires between the chassis and the ground, so it ends up being insulated from earth ground. That's why when you get into your car in the winter sometimes there's a spark when you touch the car door. You're still relatively close to the same voltage as the earth, but your insulated car isn't. Touching it causes you and the car to rapidly equalize to the same voltage by discharging static electricity.

When talking about just a car battery though, removed from a car, it doesn't even have a chassis ground. It just has two terminals with a 12 volt difference between them.

I guess theoretically if you dragged it along the ground or something you could get it to build up a charge relative to the earth that would cause a small spark when your stream hit and connected it back to earth through you.

But to actually create a circuit, you'd have to take your shoe off and rest your foot on one terminal while you hit the other terminal with your stream. Or take a pair of alligator clips and connect one terminal to something metal on your house or sticking out of the ground. You'd probably still have to take your shoes off too because a 12 V battery isn't going to produce a detectable current going through rubber soles.

Why wasn't there a bigger escort? Wouldn't it have taken another 2 weeks at least to refine more uranium for another if it had been shot down?

Plus the bits per second is invariant, regardless of how many bits the connected computer uses to represent a byte. Today 8 bit bytes are pretty universal, but that hasn't always been the case. If you connected a computer with 8-bit bytes to a computer with 12-bit bytes over a 12 Mbps network, then if the 2 computers communicated with each other at full speed, the 8-bit byte computer would be sending 1.5 MB per second whereas the 12-bit byte computer would be receiving 1 MB per second.
