  • It's like when US police kill a pedestrian in a chase and media outlets say "Pedestrian was Struck by Police Car while Officer was Chasing Suspect."

    No, the police car didn't strike a pedestrian while a police chase was happening. A police officer struck and killed a pedestrian with their vehicle during a reckless chase. The car isn't an entity that makes decisions.

  • I know you're joking, but it would still be better to have a bit less funding and much stricter enforcement than our current already-small funding + nonexistent enforcement.

    Like all of those pandemic restaurant business funds that got sucked up by massive restaurant chains and hardly anyone else.

  • You have the right idea, and you are right in some regards. Generally the order of magnitude is an order of 10. That is, 1350 could be represented as 1.350×10³, so the order of magnitude is the third order of 10, which is 10³ (i.e. some value x×1000).

  • Order is often used to describe exponents when talking about functions and other mathematical properties. In a lot of cases, it's also equivalent to a degree. For example, a function y = x² - 9 is a second-order/degree polynomial.

    Alternatively, one could find a second-order rate of a reaction, which means the rate of reaction is proportional to the square of a solution's concentration.
