But why should the fairest price be equal to exactly 12 months of earnings? Why not 1 month, or 100 months?

Is there something special about the length of Earth's orbit that makes it the correct ratio for converting flows to values? If a business were incorporated on Mars, would the fair price be one Earth year of earnings, or one Mars year of earnings? (The latter price would be 88% higher.)

Now you’re beginning to understand. Listen I have a degree in economics. I never wanted to economics because it’s all bullshit. It’s arbitrary measurements and it’s not a science.

Can you clarify which characters you're talking about? I don't see any examples of Japanese-specific kanji in the simplified Chinese examples.

For example, the first image uses 沟 and 时 forms that are found only in simplified Chinese. In both Japanese and traditional Chinese, these are written 溝 and 時.

The images also correctly use the Chinese forms of 統/统. The Japanese form [0] differs from both and does not appear in these images.

请 as shown in the image is similarly used only in simplified Chinese, not Japanese. In Japanese, the traditional Chinese form is normally used in handwriting, and an alternate form of the 訁 radical (different from either of the Chinese forms) is often used in printed text.

Thanks for your reply. I was wrong in that they are using the Japanese glyphs. The ones I've noticed are 次将及化等; I checked again and 次及化等 are actually Traditional Chinese glyphs, while 将 is Japanese glyph. It seems that these glyphs are a mix of multiple standards.

Thanks, I missed that 将 was shinjitai. I wonder what caused the weird mixture of glyphs in that example image.

The comment above is about non-rechargable lithium-metal batteries. You are thinking of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

There's some active work recently on fixing blocking issues, e.g.:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/148725

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/149489

So first you say it has always cost this much, but in the next breath you say that its cost has outpaced a high rate of inflation. Mathematically, these can't both be true.

A) Inflation in healthcare costs is well documented and unrivaled

B) Biden papered over A) with "temporary" covid subsidies in 2021 and those are going away, revealing A) again

> two equal numbers divided by themselves equal 1

That's not true. For example: 0 == 0, but 0/0 != 1.

(See also +Infinity, -Infinity, and -0.)

We're commenting on an article about IEEE 754 floating point values. Following the IEEE 754 standard, we have:

    >> isNaN(Infinity)
    false
    >> Infinity == Infinity
    true
    >> Infinity / Infinity == 1
    false

    >> isNaN(0)
    false
    >> 0 == 0
    true
    >> 0 / 0 == 1
    false

Also, you say NaN ("not a number") is "defined as a number" but Infinity is not. I would think every IEEE 754 value is either "a number" or "not a number". But apparently you believe NaN is both and Infinity is neither?

And you say 0 / 0 is "undefined" but the standard requires it to be NaN, which you say is "defined".

Automatic garbage collection of old build artifacts* is coming in Rust 1.88 (currently on the beta channel, will become the new stable release in two weeks):

https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/12633

*EDIT: For now this only deletes old cached downloads, not build artifacts. Thanks epage for the correction below.

That is not for build artifacts but global caches like for `.crate` files but its a stepping stone.

Oops, thanks for the correction.

That’s as an additional flag and not the default?

In versions earlier than 1.88, garbage collection required the unstable -Zgc flag (and a nightly toolchain). But in 1.88 and later, automatic garbage collection is enabled by default.

In both of those cases the designated entity was incorporated in the US (KindHearts in Ohio, AHIF-Oregon in Oregon).

In words like icône in French, ô is typically used where the original Greek uses ω (omega).
