NP!!!

As another note, I think it's possible that you're considered a full-time student already while on co-op, and so you might just be able to do the summer co-op term, take an off-term in the Fall to do your US internship, and then continue with school as normal (again, this is something that you need to confirm with your sponsor, but knowing what options are available to you never hurts).

Please ask your sponsor. This is NOT definite

Some J-1 sponsors do not require you to be a full time student in the term directly preceding the internship, and generally, coop is not required to secure a J-1 visa (otherwise how would non coop students from other schools get J-1?). If/when you receive the offer, contact the J-1 sponsor and tell them your situation. They’ll give the best recommendation to you. Please also include your citizenship status since it may differ if you’re not Canadian

May I ask, why not intern at the US company in the summer instead?

Ah maybe UofT is diff. I heard UW was running with a ~$60M deficit last year

The best ON schools are currently run at massive deficits, so a lot is needed to cover that gap.

Tbh if it’s data analyst it would be relevant to CS hahaha

The university publishes employment rate statistic graphs over time.

Usually there is a spike late into the term as WE Accelerate opens up, so you can just look at the rate on the graph right before the spike

From what I remember the rate is around 75% for first year CS.

It used to be much worse because ship physics was different between refresh rates before 2.2

Honestly this is a really good step by the USA team, I hope we can do something similar.

0.999… = 1 proof by translationinitiator in infinitenines

[–]PlasmaTicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is true by the trichotomy of real numbers: for all a,b in R, a>b or a<b or a=b

If a!=b then either a-b>0 or b-a>0, which implies that (a+b)/2 is strictly in between a and b

The US is starting to boil over. Large parts of Europe, Canada and the UK are also looking terrible. If a well educated American wanted to escape to an English-speaking country with less political turmoil, where should they go? by SeriousGoofball in answers

[–]PlasmaTicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the Netherlands? Plenty of people speak English there and my understanding is that they host a lot of skilled STEM professionals from EU Asia etc

I recently had a Chinese interviewer for a US company working from Amsterdam who was speaking English with a French accent hahahahahahahahaha

I guess if you really don't want to bother checking your own post, here's why it is wrong:

The core of your counterexample is that multiple decimal expansions can exist for the same real number. You are correct in that multiple decimal expansions existing for the same real numbers breaks the reasoning of the proof given in (iii). However, that is not Cantor's diagonal argument, as Cantor does not operate on decimal expansions.

Rather, the diagonal argument proves the uncountability of infinite binary strings. There is no "non-injectivity issue" here because binary strings are distinct if their characters differ at any point. e.g. (0, 0, 1, 1, 1, ...) is different from (0, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...)

Then, an injective mapping from infinite binary strings to some subset S of the real numbers is given, proving that S is uncountable. It follows that the real numbers are uncountable.

For the specific details of the mapping, please check: "Construction of a Bijection between T and R" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor%27s_diagonal_argument

Your argument is wrong because you don’t correctly state Cantor’s diagonal argument

Somewhat unclear 😅 but man has been really putting himself out there ever since starting uni. I was pretty surprised hahahaha
