    But that’s not the definition of the absolut value, I.e. “distance” in complex numbers. That would be sqrt((1+i)(1-i)) = sqrt(2) Also the triangle inequality is also defined in complex numbers. This meme is advanced 4-4*2=0 Works only if you’re doing it wrong.






  • Agreed, it’s their civic duty, but if 2/3rds of the people think the electoral college needs to go,it’s the civic duty of the politicians to represent that. The US democracy is just so terrible that just blaming the voters is the easy way out. It’s the undemocratic system which year over year hasn’t changed even though the consequences were predicted year over year. This is not hindsight!










  • Every generation should finance their own retirements. Fluctuating population will lead to few having to finance many. This is the state of affairs in Germany, where old people live in both huge places and are paid pensions which will be unreachable for the younger generation.

    I live in a village with many single family houses from the 70s and 80s. The people living here are old and are either not capable or willing to invest in their homes Understandable in my opinion. Why invest if you know you’ll die in 10 years…

    What I wished would happen that older people would downsize. It is common for older people to live in their 7 room house they build for their entire family of 5. Children all grown up and in different cities, house not maintained and only partially heated.

    Feels like pragmatism dies before the rest. Just move to a smaller apartment and give the house meant for families back to families …
