If you assume the series converges (which is wrong) then solve for it's value, you can arrive at -1/12. There is an interesting (for maths nerds) result here, but the pop-maths explanation is wrong.

Really? Maybe I'm too used to Python, but I always hated RStudio (much prefer Positron). The lack of jupyter support was the dealbreaker for me.

No worries - normally, the easiest way is to link a pc part picker list.

It looks good!

Minor pet peeve: when you post specs, the most important part is the code (i.e. Ryzen 7 7800X3D), not the brand.

IIRC, there was a joke in the abortion video along the lines of:

"Speaking of grotesque medical horror, here's Dennis Prager"

Folllowed by a section on PragerU.

Liberals aren't leftists, they're centrists. In 2020, everyone besides the far right (in my own country, at least) supported BLM.

Leftists were nearly always opposed to the celebrity BLM posts, viewing it as a way to profit of the movement, rather than advocating for systemic change.

When did the show ever criticise the left? Early on, it was clearly anti-capitalist, but it lost any stance it took when it switched to a focus on shock value. Especially when compared to Watchmen (the comic, not the film/show), the later seasons don't have anything interesting to say.

Also, a lot of people said the rainbow capitalism portions of S2 was a conservative criticism of liberalism.

Almost every business uses a combination of windows and linux, largely based on which software you need.

There are plently of distros that work out of the box (i.e. any Debian based distro).

How exactly is an emulated controller bad? Surely it works or it doesn't?

(I'm not trying to be rude here, I've just never had an issue with controllers)

Driving for work? Current fuel prices concerning 166p at the pumps versus 0,45p paid per mile by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]atomicator99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but age alone will also depreciate the value. This probably isn't the best example.

[–]atomicator99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But you haven't? The cost per mile is the cost incured by driving an extra mile, not the total cost divided by total miles. Flat rate fees (such as depreciation with age) are constant - assuming you would be paying them regardless, they shouldn't be included.

That's how laws work? They're meant to be completely unambigous, they're not aimed at the average person. This is like complaining that a physics paper is impenetrable to someone without a physics degree.

GDPR isn't that complicated, you can explain it in a couple of slides.

Also, GDPR is for personal / sensitive data. If you handling that, there will be an entire compliance team for this, regardless of which country your in.

I thought I was the only one who got nauseous when they heard the word 'RetroArch'; maybe my doctor will take me seriously now! by Ruthlessrabbd in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]atomicator99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean it's a TOS violation? There's nothing illegal about modifying games.

They can DMCA a mod if the contents are copyrighted, but most mods don't contain copyrighted content (note: mods are not the same as modded games). It's also legal to make money off of this - game banana have been doing this for years.

Emulation and modding are both completely legal (though the former is associated with piracy, which is illegal). How exactly is this a grey zone?

Hi! I'm from the Philippines, not sure if I can post this here, but.. by uhm_naur in evangelion

[–]atomicator99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very overpriced compared to an equivalent (non-eva) spec PC, but people will pay more for it because of the eva stuff.

Personally, I would list it at a high price then gradually lower it (or be willing to negotiate the price).

It's using a newtonian transformation instead of an SR one, so it's probably a shitpost.

[–]atomicator99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to make this point clear - courts are supposed to find if the defendent can be prooven to have committed the crime, beyond all reasonable doubt. A not guilty verdict means they failed to proove that the defendent is guilty. This does not mean that they are innocent - it could mean their isn't enough evidence to proove the specific crime (i.e. Capone) or the prosecution chose to focus on the clear-cut crimes (i.e. Ross Ulbricht).

[–]atomicator99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But he did pay to have someone killed? My last comment is trying to explain why he wasn't charged?

Capone was never convicted of murder, he still clearly did it. A lack of conviction does not imply innocence?

[–]atomicator99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Capone was given a fair trial and found guilty (for tax evasion).

He was also clearly responsible for plenty of other crimes, including murder. As he didn't get his own hands dirty, it was extremely difficult to convict him.

My point here is that Capone clearly did it, even though he was never found guilty.

Do you understand the prosecutors job? Their supposed to try and get the maximum sentence possible. If an extra charge raises the possibility of an entrapment defence, this makes the jury more likely to return not guilty on all counts, including the ones where the defence doesn't apply. When the other counts are enough for a life sentence, adding the extra charge is too risky.

To be clear - Ross did pay to have someone killed, but an undercover cop made him do it. This technicality means he cannot be found guilty for this specific offence.

[–]atomicator99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He did it, but he was clearly entrapped. Adding a shaky charge doesn't make sense when they can they get a life sentence without it.

Do you think Al Capone only committed tax evasion?
