  • By not eating food that has already been bought and prepared you do not decrease demand.

  • humans normally breath through their noses.

  • And both you and people arguing that it's 1 would be wrong.

    This problem is stated ambiguously and implied multiplication sign between 2 and ( is often interpreted as having priority. This is all matter of convention.

  • this is called flexitarianism and is totally valid in terms of not wasting food and cohabitating in society. unfortunately some vegetarians would bully a person like you since ideological purity is more important than not wasting food to them

  • but I don’t understand the math of how to get that answer

    There's four total outcomes of the problem:

    Scenario 1: you originally pick the winning door (1/3) and don't switch (1/2), therefore winning. Probability = 1/6

    Scenario 2: you originally pick the winning door (1/3) and did switch (1/2), therefore losing. Probability = 1/6

    Scenario 3: you originally pick a losing door (2/3) and don't switch (1/2), therefore losing. Probability = 1/3

    Scenario 4: you originally pick a losing door (2/3) and do switch (1/2), therefore winning. Probability = 1/3

    Now consider scenarios 1 and 3 together, these two are when you don't switch. P(S1) is 1/6 and P(S3) is 1/3, meaning S3 is twice as likely than S1. So if you don't switch, you are twice as likely to lose. And now consider scenarios 2 and 4 together. P(S4) is 1/3 and P(S2) is 1/6, meaning if you switch you are twice as likely to win than to lose.

    You can also consider this problem in terms of conditional probability like this:

    P(win as long as no switch) = P(win and no switch) / P(no switch) = P(S1)/(1/2) = (1/6)/(1/2) = 2/6 = 1/3

    P(win as long as switch) = P(win and switch) / P(switch) = P(S4)/(1/2) = (1/3)/(1/2) = 2/3

    P(win as long as switch) > P(win as long as no switch)

  • No, by staying on your door you're relying on the 99/100 chance of originally picking the wrong door.

  • You can't have opinion on maths

  • It's a secret -- otherwise the streaming services in question would immediately patch the vulnerability

  • Apparently American teenagers do and will straight up bully you if you have an Android.

  • It's interesting how AutoTLDR bot changed the spelling of his name

  • these are wet wipes to freshen ones hands before a meal. restaurants will often give these out with little warm water

  • I only have one account, but I will give it a go later

  • Junk mail is not a thing outside US. We do get flyers though, but usually sticking a piece of paper on your mailbox saying "no flyers" is enough to never get them.

  • green colored ketchup

    the what?

  • Isn't he ChatGPT app merely a front end to an off-site service? Why the fuck would it deserve an award itself? The service, sure; but the app?!

  • Fairphone 4 was released in 2019.

  • Fairphone offers factory refurbished devices, but they are still ridiculously bad deal. A refurbished Fairphone 4 (a device couple of years old) sells for $30 less than a brand new one. Sure, you still get warranty, but it is a $600 second hand device after all.
