Only in the US 🤣

Newton believed in god, so there obviously were things he accepted with practically no evidence whatsoever 🙊

You comment just brings attention to the fact that you didn't even look at the signature in the picture and look up the artist.

You mean 10 types:

  • those who understand binary
  • those who don't
  • those who think it's a ternary joke
  • those who know that this works in any base

Every base is base 10 😉

Because of the shadow maybe. But it's practically impossible to offset the human carbon footprint with trees.

That's not how it works. Your body can't detect a lack of oxygen but only build up of CO2. If you replace the air you breath with pure Helium, N2, CO, etc. you will just painlessly black out and die.

👍 That was actually one of the reasons why I wrote this blog post. I wanted to compile a list of points that show as clear as humanity possible that there is no consensus here, even amongst experts.

That probably won't convince everybody but if that won't probably nothing will.

You should read the part about WolframAlpha in the blog.

It's actually "both". There are two conventions. One is a bit more popular in science and engineering and the other one in the general population. It's actually even more complicated than that (thus the long blog post) but the most correct answer would be to point out that the implicit multiplication after the division is ambiguous. So it's not really "solvable" in that form without context.

And those who understand that this joke works in any base.
