Floating point numbers and arithmetic is not inaccurate. They are actually very accurate but a lot of developers have inaccurate assumptions about them. They can't exactly represent base 10 decimals. That's the only inaccuracy. If you have two floating point numbers and you let's say add or multiply them the result is always the closest floating point representation of the real result.

The list of misconceptions wouldn't reasonably fit in a comment, but if you are really interested and have a few minutes you could give that a read: https://zeta.one/floats-are-not-inaccurate/

Wow that flag is ugly. But now I'm wondering if it's possible to combine the flags in a way that looks nice.

But to be fair it's definitely not the lawyers fault.

I took a look and just found unofficial fan-stuff. I'm not even sure there are any official season two trailers.

That's true. Statistical models are very carefully engineered and tested and current machine learning models are created by throwing a lot of training data at the software and hope for the best that the things that the model learns are not complete bullshit.

You can sure it's end to end encrypted because the client can be analyzed to verify that claim.

Of couse all the others are odd because otherwise they wouldn't be prime. All primes after three are also not divisible by three... "magic". The only difference is that there are is no word like "even" or "odd" for "divisible by three" or "not divisible by three".

IIRC the US already uses metric (technically). The imperial units are defined in terms of metric units.
