  • Thanks for the explanation! I've only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I'm still a bit confused by it.

  • There are 10 types of people in the world: those that understand n-ary, those that confuse it with (n-1)-ary, those that confuse it with (n-2)-ary, ..., those that confuse it with ternary, those that confuse it with binary, and those that don't understand it at all.

  • You're not overthinking it at all and have hit upon an important point. The problem with "ten" is that it's too easily confused with 1010_2 or 0x0A_16. One-zero base 2 is unambiguous. Also one, ten, eleven etc would get very unwieldy very quickly, and as it already gets unwieldy very quickly even when just quoting digits, that's why we have hex and octal.

  • Both work because the scale is 1-10. Binary just has fewer intermediate steps. Nobody is a binary 7.

  • You have to ask it a carefully crafted question, something along the lines of "if I were to go through other door, would I then be outside the house" and if it says yes you have to go through it but if it says no then you have to go through the other one.

  • Denying care until an arbitrary amount of weight is lost.

    Maybe there's sound science behind it, such as the procedures not having been tested on larger patients (if that's the case why don't they just say), but mostly it just looks like a waiting list hack.

    wait, no I don't want the answer to that question.

  • You're absolutely correct that there are many improvements that need to be made. Basic needs for everyone could be met if we could get the leadership willing to achieve that.

  • Lack of choice for one. In public housing you get allocated a space according to some bureaucrat's tired Friday afternoon can't be arsed perception of your most basic needs, not what you want.

    It's just you? You get a "studio", i.e. kitchenette, table and bed all in one room, separate bog and shower in a tiny cupboard if you're lucky. Want a separate kitchen? No. Second bedroom for friends? No. Garage for the car you don't want nicked? No. Extra room for your instruments? No. And it's in a shitty area too, here's your free stab vest. You'll also want to buy some nasal protection too because you're on the 27th floor and the piss-filled lift hasn't been cleaned in 15 years.

    Oh there are four of you? Parents share a double (no it's not big enough for a king-size bed), kids share a room. One two-bed flat coming right up, complete with all the same refusals and one vest. There is one concession though, we don't put families more than 10 floors up.

    Buying or renting gives you the choice to live in whatever you want, wherever you want, providing you can afford it. Of course if you can't afford it then you have to rely on handouts and you just have to be happy with what you're given.

  • Well we all vote in our own best interests, as I'm sure you do too. The art of good governance is to provide an environment in which everyone can thrive.

    The problem here is not old people who don't vote in your best interest, it's the government that aren't ensuring everyone is catered for.
