I'm pretty sure he was involved with the liberation theology movements in Argentina before the previous pope clamped down on it (in his capacity as a cardinal)

ah, but don't forget to prove that the cardinality of [0,1] is that same as that of (0,1) on the way!

no, there aren't enough integers to map onto the interval (0,1).

probably the most famous proof for this is Cantor's diagonalisation argument. though as it usually shows how the cardinality of the naturals is small than this interval, you'll also need to prove that the cardinality of the integers is the same as that of the naturals too (which is usually seen when you go about constructing the set of integers to begin with)

actually you can for each real number you can exhaustively map a uninque number from the interval (0,1) onto it. (there are many such examples, you can find one way by playing around with the function tanx)

this means these two sets are of the same size by the mathematical definition of cardinality :)

actually that's written with stone

well yeah, there's only so much sexy to go around. how else do you propose we save some for spiders?

sorry, I'm a little slow today. how is this seemingly keeping the economy afloat?

don't forget ablutophobia

you're assuming they're doing it by accident

yeah but by Cantor's diagonal argument, you still wouldn't be listing all the real numbers

assuming the interval includes all of the real numbers, then it is definitely larger than aleph null (the size of all countable infinities)

I like my potatoes raw thank you very much

every dollar you raise, the fewer customers you get. the point is that you should want to raise the price whenever the relative drop in customers is less than the relative increase in price to maximise profits (where marginal cost is marginal benefit :) )

I'm a little confused. Don't we want this to be as transparent as possible to limit conspiracies?

some injustices are structural

actually history is just our collective understanding of the past, so if it changes, history changes

Right, and this Walmart in Europe would be where exactly?

that's just a fancy way of saying:

imagine you have two children and live in a system of gavelkind succession. now consider the share of one of the children. then forget the children and make that share the new bank balance

I think the worry is a WW3 with China

I'm sure you do :)

That being said, by choosing not to break gender norms, are you not helping reinforce what an idea of female is?

(OK, maybe I'm going round in circles here)

Anyway, you have a lovely day :)
