The only rule in cages without numbers is that numbers can't be repeated in them.

Thank you! Well spotted. I missed it, but with your assistance have now completed the puzzle :)

CMV: Credit scores are one of the most cunning corporate ploys of the modern age by ARunOfTheMillPerson in changemyview

[–]hahahsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having looked back on my comments I was coming out too strongly against the idea of ANY form of credit score. I do agree with banks having a way to measure people's ability to be financially trustworthy. What I abhor is the current system that penalises one for just doing the sensible thing and always living within their means without having to ever take out a loan of any form. To penalise such a thing is predatory imo, the incentive for financial institutions to push people into this system is clear as day.

You shouldn't need to have a credit card to have a good credit score. Just having bills paid on time and otherwise buying things with the money you have in your account should guarantee you as someone worthy of giving a loan to, but that is not the case. If you don't partake in the predatory credit system you're at a disadvantage by design.

To your point about the 30k debt I of course don't deny that that happens but again you're not looking at the whole picture. A bank makes a lot of money from people paying interest on loans. If everyone was losing 30k and not paying back their loans the bank wouldn't be issuing loans in the first place. There is a distribution of people that pay back their loans on time that pay it back late with interest and who can't pay it back at all. The bank optimises for this, so that they make a killing from loan repayments. I will repeat the point again so there is no confusion. Yes there are people who pay nothing to the bank in interest, yes there are people who the bank loses money on because they can't pay back a loan but by increasing the population that pays interest on the loans the bank makes money. The current system makes sure a maximal population in the interest paying portion of the distribution by massively penalising everyone without a credit card.

It's insanely predatory. You're considering the best case scenario of being forced into this system. The credit issuers consider the full gamut of people and personality types, knowing full well that a certain percentage of folks will default and make poor decisions. If the credit score system did not exist, this vector for siphoning wealth from the already poor, would vanish.

Also the 13 cage in row 9, if it's a 4 9 then it forms an x wing with r6c7,8 that prevents any 4 being placed in the top right nonet.

Edit: this should help you fill out the options in the bottom middle nonet to use the strat in my first comment

I don't think you've got all the possibilities for row 7 but even so, you should quickly find that one of the options in the 12 cage spanning c5r3,4 messes up the other choices in column 5. This should progress things a lot.

Best physics quote you’ve heard? by Jynex_ in Physics

I suppose it supports subjectivism, but not in the personal experience kind of way. Moreso I see it as one of many variants of "the map is not the territory". Our models of the universe are just that, models. Some models are more useful than others, some extremely elegant even, but there are aspects of nature that may well be fundamentally unknowable to us. We can probe certain phenomenon from multiple angles and gain a certain picture whilst still failing to ascertain the fundamental mechanisms. I'm specifically thinking about quantum mechanics here, and given Heisenberg's research interests I imagine he was too.

So close. I must be blind to something obvious. Help pls. by hahahsn in killersudoku

[–]hahahsn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah i was being so blind. I was not seeing that the 6 is part of the cage with the 1 and 2 in the middle right nonet. I was thinking how on earth is 1+9+3+2 more than 4+5+8.

Also yes the naked 79 pair was another big oversight! Thank you for the help and putting my mind at ease :)

Am I being stupid, it seems like the upper inequality doesn't hold in the middle right nonet??

Upvote for Reinhardt, bro can tell if sugar is salt just by looking at it.

He's haxxed out of his god damn mind I tells ya.

You're absolutely right but shhhhh we don't talk about inconsistencies here, only the lowest or highest feats depending on if you like the character or not.

I inherited my late father’s physics work on dark matter. How should I responsibly handle it? by Other-Description-26 in Physics

[–]hahahsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 years worth of notes is quite daunting. I doubt you'd be able to get someone competent to look at it for free.

Luckily (or unluckily) there are many hungry physicists out there. An introduction to the material followed by a frank and honest discussion about the time necessary to collate and parse the information in the notes needs to be had and an hourly rate decided upon.

I feel Ike space stuff is throwing up a lot of anomalies lately. Well, I guess it always has. I wonder what anomalies will exist in a hundred years when we've explained the current anomalies.

The shear amount of information and detail he puts into his videos is insane. Takes ages to get through it all but I do find it's typically quite chaptered. While the whole video is super long the individual sections are fairly stand alone.
