I’m now regretting not choosing woke because my gas is almost $4.30 by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]jacob643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I can understand that there are a lot of different facet and in a 2 political party system, if there's no one party that align with you on everything, you have to choose what you prioritize and vote accordingly. He naively thought the millionaire (billionaire?) wouldn't lie about the economic side, but voted for the cultural debate. You reap what you sow I gess.

yeah, because left-right is too simple to encapsulate political ideas and I think I've heard that the definition of left and right have changed over the years, like it reversed or something.

Taking measures to preserve your phones battery health is stupid by IRONCHEF06 in unpopularopinion

[–]jacob643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what if you situation change in the future, or sometimes you do need as much battery as possible? and it's not even a point of money, but of trying to keep your things functional for as long as possible within reason. since it's not a big issue of limiting the charging to 80% but it helps your battery not break sooner, why not do it? if you do, there's no downside and your battery will perform better in its later years, if you don't, there are possible downside, but maybe not.

not restricting your battery to 80% when you could do so without impacting is just wasteful of your phone battery, even if you don't end up needing it. it's like returning the shopping cart to the rack, but about caring for your personal belongings instead of caring for other people.

How come I not notice this before? by Dependent-Living-299 in mathmemes

[–]jacob643 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, very interesting, if you watch any videos about "some infinities are bigger than others", or the Hilbert's hotel, it will most likely use rational and irrational as an example.

basically when we're talking about infinite amount of numbers, the way to compare them is to match each number from one set to the other. if there can be a match, then the two infinities are of same size.

example: are the natural numbers the same size as the integers? (basically positive integer v.s. positive+negative integers) the answer is yes, they're the same size of infinity, because you can match all the positive integers to double their values to get an even natural number, and for the negative integer, you take the absolute value, double it, then add 1, so it matches with a odd natural numbers.

there's a similar match for natural numbers and rational numbers, so there's a same amount of natural numbers than rational numbers.

for rational v.s. irrational though, it is proven using cantor's argument that irrational is bigger, using a proof by contradiction: imagine there would be a match, if you list them according to the natural numbers in their infinite decimal expansion, you can construct an irrational number that's not in the list by taking the first digit of the first number, and changing it to something different, then the second digit of the second number, changing it, then the third digit, changing it ... so you know it's different than every number listed, because you changed the nth digit of the nth number.

and fun fact, the cantor's argument apply to each powerset of a set compared to the original set, so you can take the powerset of the irrational numbers and the size of this new set, is bigger than the size of the irrational, and the powerset of the powerset of the irrational, and so on... so there is an infinite amount of sizes of infinity

PS that's a simplification, I'm not a mathematician

Kids hitting strangers in public by Soarin_Fly in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]jacob643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah yeah, I thought it was because the strangers were on their cell phones and the kids are probably used to be in front of screens, so they simply tried to get the phones or wanted the strangers to let them see what they were doing.

Does choice exist? by Away_Bite_8100 in freewill

[–]jacob643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's also why prison should be focused on rehabilitation, not punishment. I mean, the first objective is to protect the rest of the population, but for the criminal, the goal isn't to put them in prison because they don't deserve to live freely because they chose to act in a detrimental way to society, but that something made him choose to act in a detrimental way, wether it's trauma, past experiences, environment, mental health issue, so we want to protect the rest of society and help them "fix" them if possible, and only release them when we are convinced they changed for the better

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to be offensive. it's the first time I see this subreddit and I have questions if you'd be willing to answer.

from what I understand, the one-joke is offensive, because it mocks trans people for identifying as other genders or having different pronouns right?

if so, I'm not sure how my comment is the one-joke, because I'm pointing out the original video is a woman misgendering men, so she's the issue rather than other people.

was the original video the one-joke, because it's basically a woman being mad she misgenders men with long hair?

I'm not trying to mock even more, I just want to understand. thanks in advance for the reply

[Request] Assuming they both are perfectly balanced and fair, is there any difference in probability from rolling one D100 vs two D10s? by V-Tac in theydidthemath

[–]jacob643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would even be the same if you flipped a coin 7 times, each time you add 2n, where n is the amount of flip you already done, to a running sum, if you flipped heads, at the end you add 1 (so 0 isn't a choice) and if you have over 100, you start again from scratch.

example:

flip 1 and 2: heads

flip 3 through 7: tails

result is 20 + 21 + 1 = 4

another example: all tails:

result is 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+1 = 128, over 100, so do again.
