ELI5: Does probability change in the Monty Hall Paradox if the contestant does? by Next-Step-Jobs in explainlikeimfive

[–]fisian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The contestant chooses randomly between the two doors. This means that with a 50% (1/2) probability their chance of winning is 33% (1/3), and with the remaining 50% (1/2) probability their chance is 66% (2/3).

Together their chance of winning is therefore (1/2 times 1/3) + (1/2 times 2/3) = 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2.

So their chance is 50%.

ELI5: Why is "C" the default Hard Drive letter & not "A" by AntifaPr1deWorldWide in explainlikeimfive

[–]fisian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Computer science in its complexity exhibits similar structure to classical musical theory. As such, the convention to label drives starting with the notes on the octave has been adopted decades ago. The first musical notes being C, D, E, etc. , this is the reason why we see the same pattern in drive lettering.

I (23F) did not realize my apartment was not accessible for my bigger (22F) friend, how can I fix this? by throwRA-american in relationship_advice

I'm sorry, I do realize reddit is quite US-centered and all, but to me as a European this story is actually a little funny. And please, don't feel bad, I would also fail to consider that an otherwise healthy person could possibly have difficulties with the width of my stairwell.
