Talk:0.999.../Arguments/Archive 1

message: If k is a rational number, then k can be expressed as a/b where a and b are integers and b CANNOT be 0. So, if 0.999... is a rational number, then there exists integers a and b such that a/b = 0.999... No such a and b exist, thus 0.999... cannot be rational.  70.110.84.242 20:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it does. a = b = 1. If you disagree, then there must be a number between 0.9... and 1 (an infinite number, in fact), so please give me one. Mdwh 00:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No it does not. a=b=1 => a/b = 1 and not a/b = 0.999... Here is a number: Let A=99, then p = A/100+A/10000+A/1000000+...  and there are infinitely many more. I leave the rest as an exercise for you. 70.110.84.242 00:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Do you want to imply that (90/100+9/100)+(90/100²+9/100²)+... is not equal to 90/100+9/100+90/100²+9/100²+...? That seems to defy the law of associativity. Yours, Huon 10:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not imply this at all and it has nothing to do with the law of associativity. The following two numbers are different:
   9/10+9/100+9/1000+....
   A/100 + A/10000 + A/1000000 + ....         A = 99
It is easy to verify by checking the partial sums:
   A/100 > 9/10                       <=>   .99 > .9
   A/100 + A/10000 > 9/10 + 9/100     <=>   .9999 > .99
In fact you cannot simply add the terms as you like because in the case of irrational numbers, there is no pattern so it is important to compare the partial sums with the correct order of the terms. 68.238.104.216 14:15, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is a rational number? 

message: under the category "Fun Mathematical Teasers".  We could add an article such as "Proof that -1 = 1".
Stuff like this is fun and is great for provoking thought.  (For those of you that haven't seen the proof of -1 = 1, here it is)
:Given:
:::X=1 \, 
: Solution…
*:::1=X^2 \, 
*:::0=X^2-1 \, 
*:::0=(X+1)\cdot(X-1) \, 
*:\frac{0}{(X-1)}=(X+1) \, 
*:::0=X+1 \, 
*::-(X)=1 \, 
::…Substitute 1 in for X…
*::-(1)=1\,
::…Therefore…
:::-1=1 \,
Many people don't catch that \frac{0}{(X-1)}=(X+1) \,  is an illegal operation.
Since X = 1, (X-1) =0; you are therefore saying \frac{0}{0}=(X+1) \,

replies: text: Looks like Macwiki thought that 0.999... is not really 1, and that this article gives invalid proofs for the equality.

message: There aren't any sources of information in this artice.  Some of the facts here can be easily obtained and sourced, but some are not easy to reference, like the quotes sprinkled throughout the article.  I'm strongly inclined to delete them all, but I'd prefer whoever put them in to reference them.  This article, by its very nature, can easily lead to bias on one side or the other without stong editorship, so the way to maintain a neutral POV is to reference everything.

thread_title:  Update 

message: The article at present is interspersed with mentions of the independence movement, as well as the movement supporting the status quo, but because of the article format I can't really follow the arguments and level of support of each side. A new section in the article, specifically discussing the role of the independence movement and the movement for the status quo would be a boon to this article, and would greatly improve it.
I recognize that such a section would be a magnet for bias, but I believe that it's a necessary addition and so justifies the risk. Plus (again, regardless of personal beliefs), Bermuda remains on the United Nations List of Non Self-Governing Territories, an article which links directly to this one; such a section is quite important to clarify the current status of Bermuda. 
Unfortunately, Bermuda is far from my area of expertise, thus I'm not sure I'm qualified to expand this topic. Could someone with a better understanding of the island's politics please create this section? Cheers, Zaldax (talk) 13:53, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: This is a gossip with a germ of truth within. During the WC2010, in one of his last appearances as a TV pundit, Netzer told this story. He once was invited to Ghana, being told that he was extremely worshipped by the Ghanian football nation. When he arrived there, he noticed, that he was literally reckoned to be a real magician, as he had been able to hit a corner kick directly into the goal. So he was demanded to teach the Ghanian players his magic art. Initially he thought, that he was invited just to be honoured, so the situation was very embarrassing. (In a German forum they made kind of a live chat during this TV broadcast an the story is mentioned there.) As far as I remember, Netzer added, that he refused to do so, as he feared the consequences, when the Ghanians would realize that he is not a real magician, but "only" an outstanding footballer. --Eberhard Cornelius (talk) 14:29, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Differences between the Natural Rate of Unemployment and the NAIRU

message: The concluding section of the article states:
:Empirically, the existence and persistence of involuntary unemployment is the main difference between the NAIRU and the Natural Rate of Unemployment - at the Natural Rate of Unemployment, all unemployment must be voluntary, whereas at the NAIRU equilibrium, involuntary unemployment can persist.
This is incorrect. The Natural Rate of Unemployment is an equilibrium concept for long-run analysis. Formally, it is the rate of unemployment prevailing in the situation of flexible prices and wages. This, however, can very well be compatible with an inefficient outcome due to structural frictions in the labour market. I.e., situations where involuntary unemployment prevails. Will someone please argue against this? Otherwise I will suggest an editing --HJ 22:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Why SHOULDN'T he his own page.  BW is different, a lot of them were small parters and there wasn't much info released on them.  They appear, fought and went.  Bellamey fought 3 times, stole gold, was played with by DoFlamingo, had a huge character build in his short amount of space, was a plotpoint for Jaya arc.  But then again, you could argue Gan Fall had a more major plot point and is now on the minor characters page.
