Plenty of countries where 35-40h/week, or even less, is the norm (and I mean it as no “not counted” extra hours)

No it isn’t.

Yes, it is.

No it isn’t. The Quotient is defined as the number obtained when you divide the Dividend by the Divisor. Here it is straight out of Euler…

I’m defining the division operation, not the quotient. Yes, the quotient is obtained by dividing… Now define dividing.

Emphasis on “alternative”, not actual.

The actual is the one I gave. I did not give the alternative definitions. That’s why I said they are also defined based on a multiplication, implying the non-alternative one (understand, the actual one) was the one I gave.

Feel free to send your entire Euler document rather than screenshotting the one part you thought makes you right.

Note, by the way, that Euler isn’t the only mathematician who contributed to the modern definitions in algebra and arithmetics.

Yes, it is. The division of a by b in the set of real numbers and the set of rational numbers (which are, de facto, the default sets used in most professions) is defined as the multiplication of a by the multiplicative inverse of b. Alternative definitions are also based on a multiplication.

That’s why divisions are called an auxilliary operation.

Most people who run from their country are all but financially stable.

Your “low” standard of living is not low at all for most countries. So, yes, lowering that standard is necessary if you want to leave.

We haven’t studied rhe same History.

There is no general hard line, as everyone’s hard line differs. Rather than a hard line, the point of no return is likely defined by how many people consider their hard line crossed, and how many act on it.

You underestimate the strength of the 3rd Reich. It was something.

No country on Earth can hold its own if the rest of the world bands against it. If the US go ballistic, they’ll fall.

I’m more scared of whoever is in charge then taking the whole world with them using the big red button.

I’m just confused as to how that is not common knowledge. The country I speak of is France, and we’re not exactly known for our excellent maths education.

But they shouldn’t ban anything else bad unless everything bad is banned. Fuck we can’t ban shit

The problem is that inconsiderate smokers are actively hurting the health of the people suffering from their inconsideration. Passive smoking is a thing, and it has long term consequences.

So while it sucks for the individual freedom of considerate smokers like yourself, banning public smoking protects a lot of people who get their health damaged by what is in my experience in France most of the smokers. And protection is one of the purposes of the law.

No, it should simply be “Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, addition.”

A division is defined as a multiplication, and a substraction is defined as an addition.

I am so confused everytime I see people arguing about this, as this is basic real number arithmetics that every kid in my country learns at 12 yo, when moving on from the simplified version you learn in elementary school.

I have answered, and had to put “Other” in employment status because I am self employed. An option for self employment would have been useful in my opinion!

Oh yes, I am so threatened. You got me.

Afraid of what? Replying to what point? Your “shower thought” (lmao) is just a messy thought process of which every single step is based on nothing.

Why would we waste energy discussing consequences of events that will never happen?

Not at all. There is many ways to rationalize time, nothing is settled at all. The “settled theory” you talk about would create paradoxes, if time travel is ever made real. And paradoxes don’t work well with reality.

There is actually a fairly common way to rationalize time that is the opposite of what you’re describing: Time is entirely a construct, there is no past, no future, only the present. Take away all of humanity’s memories and the past doesn’t exist at all.

There’s also an understanding of time that says it only goes forward, making time travelling to the past impossible.

It’s not like we actually know how time travel would work. Because, you know, it’s not currently a thing at all.

As much of a good idea as this is, I’m not sure a NYC-centric local news has its place on news@lemmy.world

As in, this really doesn’t matter for most of the world.

It still shouldn’t be banned, it should be up for debate when picking a system. Explicitly banning a system is pretty much anti-democratic by nature.

Nothing screams “democracy” like explicitely banning a voting system
