0 is the neutral element for addition. This is why when we have a number then 0 + number = number (0 doesnt change the value in addition) and why 0 x number = 0 (if you add a number 0 times you will have 0). (Multiplication is adding one of the numbers to itself the number of times designated by the second number)

The same way 1 is the neutral element for multiplication. This is why when you have some number then 1 * number = number. This is also why number^0 = 1 (if you never multiply by a number you are left with the neutral element. It would be weird if powering by 0 left you with 0 for example because of how negative powers work)

This is the level 1 answer.

The level 0 answer is that it is this way because all of mathematics is a construct designed to ease problem solving and all people collectively agreed that doing it this way is way more useful (because it is)

Choose which one you want

Nah. I would totally still lay on the floor.

Discrimination != Choice

There are moments in life where you gotta choose something. There is no discrimination if you choose objectively. You choose water over bleach because there are objective reasons why one over the other will be better for you. You choose waiting for a green light over running onto a driving car because that is less likely to get you killed. If you cant give everyone a job you have to choose someone. If you choose purely based on qualities describing who will fit the position best like experience and knowledge that wont be a discrimination. There is no such thing as a fair discrimination

No. Being cheap is a choice, being poor usually isn't

That s not very few imo. I ve had zero out of hundreds

Buzzwords can seem like regular words when you use them too much

Cstimer.org is I think

I mean... It is high level emulation. You have to use hacks to be fast

In Poland there are parcel machines everywhere. Ordering pretty much anywhere on the internet you can just ask for there, it will be cheaper, and you will have to go just like 200 meters on average (I live in a point just between 3 machines so it is 300) in a city and less than a kilometer in most towns and bigger villahes and your parcel is always there. Much recommend. Wont work in america

It s nice to see a community forming here. Former boost for.reddot user. Now switched to boost for lemmy. Hopefully some will follow my path. To at least try to make it cubing related I m gonna ask a cubing question.

What is your biggest achievement in cubing? What result are you most proud of? Did you get an amazing pb? Or did you get a great result in competition?

For me the biggest achievement is probably being 5th in competitions per year once (when the postpandemics didnt yet count)

Last week of a break before a competition bonanza

Radosław Marcinek won Polish Championship 2023 as an unexpected upset with Tymon Kolasiński coming in 2nd

Fourth, fifth if we count 8.1

Depends on what you call short distance and where you live

When I travel a lot of the time train is (definetly) cheaper but also more convenient and faster (up to like 500km).

Lets go to a competition

Stobierna, here I come

This aint much of a problem. NEWAG operates almost exclusively on the internal market
