When I opened the package, I was sure I was missing one of the chair’s leg. I went back to the shop and they told me everything is there. So, back home I started to assemble it, now I am finished and I am left with an extra chair leg. What do I do ?

name_NULL111653 ,

Use double-screw c to secure it to point (a, b, c, x) in the tesseract assembly. DO NOT sit in it without the (4,5)th leg, it’s necessary for dimensional stability.

Is that like Roman numerals?

Roman got it from the Greek too before adapting it, iirc.

Romans got like 80% of everything they stood for from the Greeks.

A joke goes: The Greek invented sex. The Romans later improved upon the idea by introducing women to it.

@doctorn@r.nf avatar

Hehe, yeah, even their God’s were recycled Greek ones.

crispy_kilt ,

It is similar in that they use characters from their alphabet as numerals but not exactly the same way as the Romans. Greek numerals are decimal, based on powers of 10, just like Roman and Arabic. The units from 1 to 9 are assigned to the first nine letters of the old Ionic alphabet from alpha to theta. Instead of reusing these numbers to form multiples of the higher powers of ten, however, each multiple of ten from 10 to 90 was assigned its own separate letter from the next nine letters of the Ionic alphabet from iota to koppa. Each multiple of one hundred from 100 to 900 was then assigned its own separate letter as well, from rho to sampi.

You HAVE to read the spec if you want to be compliant, you can’t just hope every detail is on wikipedia

Sylvartas ,

Also, even if you fully respect the specs, I assume you can’t get certified as “compliant” by ISO if you didn’t pay for the specs ?

K4mpfie ,

If you want to be compliant for a standard you need to have a copy of it. Luckily it’s only companies that really need to buy them

SirQuackTheDuck ,

Which means the companies using the specs pay the company making the specs for everyone (companies and people) to use.

That sounds fair, but I wouldn’t be surprised if capitalism fucked it up anyhow.

PsychedSy ,

I mean, yeah. My rid/nfc emu chips are passive, tho.

cameron_vale ,

It will be the new vax. Anybody who doesn’t get it will be guilty of antisocial behavior and endangering the health of their fellow citizens.

In fact if you got the vax then it’s only logical that you get the chip too.

AVincentInSpace ,

I want you to think long and hard between the differences between not getting protection against a deadly, highly transmissible disease and not getting an iPhone implanted in your skull.

I’ll give you a hint. Only one of them actually endangers lives.

cameron_vale ,

Both are the clear choice for every obedient, right-thinking, socially-conscious citizen. Smart guys like you and me. It’s a foregone conclusion.

AVincentInSpace ,

Do you understand how disease spreads?

Do you know that if you decide you’re too cool for a jab that has been tested on literal billions of people and proven safe and effective in over 99.9% of cases, and end up getting COVID, not only could you be stuck with “long COVID” complications for life but you could also spread the disease to someone immunocompromised who isn’t eligible for the shot and will almost certainly die from it?

cameron_vale ,

That’s nice. Did you copy paste it or do you have it memorized?

AVincentInSpace ,

I could dig up several reputable sources to corroborate everything I just said, but first I’d like to ask if you have even one that calls it into question.

Give me one reason for not getting the shot besides opposing everything the government does because you want to feel like a special boy.

cameron_vale ,

Yes yes. So virtuous and obedient.

But consider this. Take all your well-worn arguments for the vax and every time you see “vax”, replace that with “brainchip”.

You see how it works.

MystikIncarnate , in They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are

One point here: the government doesn’t pay out a large chunk of it’s earnings to people who did nothing to ensure that the product or service was delivered.

They got paid a large percentage of revenue because they’re shareholders.

Tell me again why taking a big pile of money from customers, who are very likely not wealthy (at least for the majority), and giving it to wealthy people, is “more efficient” than the government doing the same job and just, not doing that?

If you cut out the profit, the “business” runs more lean, no matter which way you arrange the numbers. I would argue that a more lean business model is simply more efficient. The dollars going in simply result in more output per dollar. IMO, that’s efficient.

Am I taking crazy pills here?

AnanasMarko ,

While I agree with you completely, the argument for a counter-point would be that exactly because the private company should create as much profit for the owners as possible - it has to be as lean / efficient as possible.

That is not true for “the goverment” as profit is not an encentive to rationalize the work process.

What I find interesting are goverment agencies that operate on both levels. A great example is Ordenance Survey in UK. While they provide a public service, they also sell some of their products commercially to cover some operating costs (hiking maps etc.).

mrcleanup ,

because the private company should create as much profit for the owners as possible - it has to be as lean / efficient as possible.

Yeah but no. It would be if the owner/shareholders weren’t skimming of the top. The process may be lean but the pricing is designed to maximize and take as much as the market will bear. Which undoes the benefit the efficiency could bring to a public service.

yo_scottie_oh ,

But the shareholders didn’t do nothing, they provided capital.

MystikIncarnate ,

Except they didn’t. Whomever purchased the stock initially did, and often that amount is a shadow of what the stock is currently traded at.

It’s also a figure that’s been repaid over and over again as dividends have been paid.

With government organizations, the public, aka debt devices, aka the public wallet, pays for the initial investment. Once that investment is made it pays for itself over and over in goods and services over the lifetime of the investment.

Shareholders are basically the landlords of wall street. They contribute nothing and feel like they deserve everything.

yo_scottie_oh , (edited )

Except they didn’t. Whomever [sic] purchased the stock initially did, and often that amount is a shadow of what the stock is currently traded at.

This ignores two other very important roles that subsequent shareholders play:

  • Give initial investors the opportunity re-deploy their capital elsewhere when they choose to do so.
  • Signal the value of the company’s equity, in real time, on the open market. When the stock is trading above IPO price (as your rebuttal implies), this enables the company to raise more capital by borrowing against its equity and/or selling shares of its own stock.

In light of these critical roles, it’s vastly unfair to say that shareholders contribute nothing to the delivery of goods and services—quite the opposite.

SmoothIsFast ,

this enables the company to raise more capital by borrowing against its equity

You can always get asset backed loans, even as a company, why should we be welfare for businesses?

Also you would need an uncaptured market for anything you said to even have an effect, when 90% of trades are completed off market not effecting the price on the tape are we really doing anything but getting fleeced by market makers? You aren’t signaling anything when your trade data is being bought and hidden from the market using PFOF techniques.

In light of the objective failures of our market it’s extremely fair to say shareholders have no contribution to the delivery of goods and services. Could they in a perfect market sure, but I could have everything in utopia, to bad that doesn’t exist.

yo_scottie_oh ,

why should we be welfare for businesses?

Who said anything about welfare?

Okay, I’m not getting into a debate about organizational behaviour, economics and finance with an unarmed person.

For the kids reading at home, this is what an ad hominem attack looks like—a logical fallacy in which one attacks their opponent personally instead of addressing the merits of their argument.
