I think it is perfectly reasonable for two reasons. One is that (when it works) the notation becomes more intuitive, as in

0.9999... < 1

And the second reason is that mixing implicit limits (or series or infinity) and numbers is a mathematical hack, and when the notation doesn't work it is a clear indication that something is wrong.

Smartphones won’t go away. Yes, wearables will replace some use cases – just as personal computers replaced some mainframe use cases and smartphones replaced some personal computer use cases. But smartphones will continue to evolve, just as one can draw a line from time sharing on an IBM 709 to spinning up a Kubernetes cluster.
> The proof hinges on the definition of infinity. 0.9bar7 is a completely nonsensical number precisely because of the definition of infinity. Yes, I think you’re failing to accept the definition of infinity. You’re rejecting a proof that many other PhDs in math accept along with some notable mathematicians like Euler. I reject your appeal to authority; having an advanced degree doesn’t mean you’re somehow automatically right, lots of PhDs in math have failed the Monty Hall problem, lots of people with advanced degrees are wrong all the time. I myself am a walking example on occasion.

I wasn't appealing to authority. I never said that implied that I was correct. (Had I wanted to do that, I would have brought that up much earlier in this comment thread.) I was really just curious if you still believed that I was "failing to accept the definition of infinity" even if you knew that about me. Apparently you do.

Further note: If you just saw `std.typecons.Tuple!(typeof(Range.init[0 .. $]), typeof(Range.init[0 .. $]), typeof(Range.init[0 .. $]))` which is what would have to be written there instead of auto, would that make you feel better?

Appliance manufacturers aren't hiring dumb engineers. The same engineers they already employ could design appliances to last 20 years, 50 years, or 100 years.

There were more robust consumer appliances on the market, and they were mostly pushed out of the mainstream as consumers greatly preferred to buy value engineered products at a fraction of the price. You still can buy more robust products, but they don't exist at the value-engineered prices people now expect.

Look up the prices of mid-century appliances and adjust for inflation. Let's use a simple toaster for example, because they haven't changed much in design or function:

https://www.atticpaper.com/proddetail.php?prod=1957-ge-toast...

That's $280 in today's dollars.

If you look at similarly priced toasters today, you probably get a better toaster now than you did then:

https://www.webstaurantstore.com/avatoast-thd27240-heavy-dut...

But nobody buys these for home use because the ROI will never pay off. A series of $20 toasters over a lifetime will never catch up to the initial investment of a more robust toaster. Plus, people like having new stylish appliances as trends change.

TL;DR: people say they want reliable appliances, but they actually don't.

Well, a limit of a series is just a number and doesn't approach anything either. If the series approaches something, we say the limit exists and is equal to that thing.

Anyway, in the surreal numbers you could probably make up a notation where 0.999... actually denotes 1 - ε or something. But I daresay it might not be very useful because then how do you denote 1 - ε/2 or anything else.
There were many wireless earbuds around the time Apple came out with the AirPods so you're really not selling your point here. Just because a company wants to get into that market now doesn't automatically make it derivative from Apple. The Dash was very popular, people have heard about it.

I speculate that it's theoretically possible to build virtually unbreakable DRM into a physical device, especially if the device is designed to resist (or at least detect) disassembly. (Analog re-recording notwithstanding).

I like your point about DRM vs copyright. I guess I've always seen DRM as the "ounce of prevention" that replaces the "pound of cure" that copyright enforcement entails - although distribution platforms like YouTube increasingly reduce that pound to closer to an ounce (at the cost of more abuse). I think your point would be valid if enforcement of copyright was simpler and cheaper; perhaps you've read stories about photographers whose work has been used by large companies, without compensation, usually because the asset was included in projects done by 3rd party contractors. Its very expensive for an individual to enforce their rights. But yes, if the justice system itself were fixed to be fast, cheap, and fair, then I would agree that copyright alone would be the preferable solution.

I wonder how closely these can be deployed? Safe operation might require large distances between base stations. If they can't beat conventional wind mills in power per area, that may be a deal breaker in many scenarios.
Fine. Define 0.999... as the limit of the series sum(n=1 ... N)(10^-n), as N-> infinity. This is standard high school calculus. "Number" and "series" and "limit" and "convergence" don't all mean the same thing. However this number is defined as the limit of a convergent series. So the question really is meaningful. (One clue that this question is meaningful is the amount of space introductory calculus textbooks use to address it.)

Because I can still ask, in black and white, what law of "equality" do I use to establish that my limit equals 1? (It does, if I import the definition of "equality" from the real numbers. That's what they do in calculus class. )
I recognize this, but (at least, per the reference I linked) the free version isn't an official state of Georgia document. It seems the only official version of the state laws is the commercial version.

I suppose I just don't believe that would happen. You can still practice social distancing/face masks/hand washing without shelter-in-place. I believe those three things alone would significantly slow down the spread to manageable levels. So I simply don't see a scenario where it "grows unchecked" to millions in the USA. It would hit millions eventually (like swine flu) but it would be manageable (not "unchecked"). Most of the US is geographically separated and not densely populated (except for cities like NYC), and we are only at 3M cases globally and that is with months of growth.

Lastly, even if it grew unchecked, I don't believe overwhelming the healthcare system would crash the economy. It might devastate the healthcare industry, but it wouldn't devastate all industries like prolonged, no-end-in-sight lockdowns are doing. I also don't believe it would "kill [significant amounts of] young people" because I believe the mortality rate is much lower than currently estimated.

Suicide is already killing more young people than covid-19 due to lockdown. 2 USAFA cadets committed suicide because of lockdown orders this month, yet 0 cadets have died from covid-19.

I personally like using fractions of 9.

1/9 = 0.111...
2/9 = 0.222...
3/9 = 0.333...
...
8/9 = 0.888...
9/9 = 0.999...

What's neat is that this trick works for any repeating decimal, with any number of digits in the repeating part. For instance:

123/999 = 0.123123123...
999/999 = 0.999999999...

Multiply or divide by powers of 10 as necessary to shift the decimal point, and add the non-repeating part.

Once you accept this mapping, it's trivial to treat 0.999... as 9/9 (or 99/99, or 999/999, etc). Which can be simplified to 1.

Eventually, Patton helped build the digital infrastructure of what would become Banjo, a company that, in the past decade, has raised nearly $223 million, according to the investment data-sharing platform SharesPost, from prominent venture capital firms such as SoftBank.

Interesting and somewhat horrifying. Maybe SoftBank failed to do some due diligence here and have essentially funded a CEO with direct connections to the KKK. I can only see Banjo's next chapter going through three options:

* Option 1: Softbank cares enough and ends their investment in Banjo and the CEO stays on.

* Option 2: Trial by Twitter will pressure Banjo CEO to resign and everyone's happy.

* Option 3: Nothing happens.

>if you shift the decimal point by an infinite number of places, then there are still an infinite number of 9s to the right

>0.9bar7 is a completely nonsensical number

For the same reason that 0.9...7 isn't a meaningful number, you cannot move the decimal 'an infinite number of times' and then after this, look at what number you have left and see it still has infinite 9s left. It's like you're trying to perform transfinite induction on the set of numbers generated by moving the decimal point. You can only move the point a countable number of times, so there is no sense in which the property can still be true after infinity many times.

> In Norway, the electric utilities use the FM radio text channel (the one that announces songs on fancy radios) to announce current electricity rates, and their meters pick it up and use it. That's a start.

Does Norway have a static electricity price? With PG&E the cost of electricity varies wildly household to household, and you need to decipher a labyrinth of different rate and “time of use plans”, and there’s baseline allowances... the whole thing is opaque. There’s never actually a “here’s what electricity cost right now” true answer.

Reminds me of Terry Pratchett's description of the mathematical reasoning of camels in Pyramids:

Lack of fingers was another big spur to the development of camel intellect. Human mathematical development had always been held back by everyone’s instinctive tendency, when faced with something really complex in the way of triform polynomials or parametric differentials, to count fingers. Camels started from the word go by counting numbers.

Super admin is isolated, not my everyday account.

I don't know how any of my accounts could have been sending spam. I don't send unsolicited email, and I forward messages from those other four accounts to my primary email account, so I hope I would have noticed a spam problem. But because I cannot log in to anything, and didn't get any information or notification from Google, I can't be sure, of course.

I am subscribed to a lot of mailing lists and I wonder if, given my low human outbound volume, whether gmail-generated "bad attachment" bounces could have resulted in this. But that seems unlikely. More likely is someone ran a query and decided I had too many emails or was using too much G Suite storage. I look forward to hearing any information at all from Google!
I didn't grok infinity until I started thinking in terms of verbs rather than nouns. As a static number, the concept of infinity makes no sense; but once reimagined as a process (start counting up from 1, and never stop), all apparent paradoxes disappear.

This is the inverse problem: it could just as easily be reframed as 0.000...0001 = 0. Defined as static nouns (does such a thing exist in nature?), it's seemingly paradoxical, and fascinatingly debatable in a "is a hot dog a sandwich" sort of way. But reframe it as a process (or as code), and all confusion disappears: for how many loops would you like to proceed? If you never stop, 0.99999... clearly approaches 1, without ever reaching it, and asking if they're the "same" is as academic as asking if the Ship of Theseus is the same ship, or if an electron is the same entity from one picosecond to the next.
