Aliens haven't contacted us. Scientists found a compelling reason why.
  • Knowledge.

    Why are there scientists here on Earth studying the most boring subjects imaginable to anyone but them? Why does every tiny organism have a small, but dedicated group of scientists studying it at some point?

    We must know - we will know! is a quote which represents humanity well. A factually wrong quote since we will not know everything but, an objective nonetheless. Why should other species believe different?

  • Tut mir Leid, ich traue mich nicht, dieses Risiko einzugehen.

    Unter der Zwischennetzseite:

    F(reie)M(edien)H(ölle)Y(eah) [punkt] Seiten [punkt] Ent(wickler)

    findet man aber ein paar gute weitere Verbindungen auf Reiseführer. Es ist zwar etwas aufwändig, doch sehr gut machbar - auch mit wenig Zeit. Um auf einen gewissen Mäuse-Verfolger zu gelangen benötigt man bspw. 1-2 Stunden, davon größtenteils warten. Deren Einladungs-Bewerbung ist momentan übrigens offen - und das Bewerbungsgespräch ist nicht schwer, wenn man sich 15 Minuten Vorbereitungszeit nimmt ;)

  • Yeah fair enough. Japan has great rail, I'm just frustrated that prestige projects like HSR seem to be everyone's focus.

    HSR is important, but local trains and freight trains are equally as important even though they get much less attention.

  • Ehrlich gesagt: Kein Plan.

    Aus Angst vor Fenster Ventilatoren habe ich immer VPNs genutzt.

    Allerdings würde ich meinen, dass es nur minimal, wenn überhaupt, hilft. Nahezu alle Fenster Ventilatoren befinden sich auf von öffentlichen Verfolgern indizierten Sturzbächen - wenn du mit einem Fenster Ventilator in einem Sturzbach drin bist wird er dich sehr wahrscheinlich sowieso finden.

    Sofern du kein VPN hast, würde ich empfehlen mich auf ältere und insbesondere unbeliebtere Linux Distributionen zu beschränken, sowie ein Parasit zu sein. Z.B. Hannah Montana BS statt der neuesten Bogen Version. Zudem gilt ja: je weniger Säher, desto weniger potentielle Fenster Ventilatoren.

    Das beste wäre aber, in private Verfolger zu gelangen. Da hast du schnellere Herunterladgeschwindigkeiten, mehr und insbesondere nischigere und bessere Distributionen, sowie eine 0% Chance von Fenster Ventilatoren verfolgt zu werden.

    Viel Spaß beim weiteren Distro-Hüpfen!

  • [article] Japan is inventing trains
  • But Switzerland has these tiny local stations too.

    For example, this one:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alp_Grüm_railway_station

    It's a tiny station with 440 passengers per weekday - yet it seems that two train lines, one of which is hourly stop there. Most of the passengers are likely commuters, so the bulk of all passengers will be during morning and evening rush hour. Outside these hours, hardly anyone uses this station I believe - yet trains still stop there.

    (Note: I have just searched for "Least used train stations Switzerland" and picked a random result, this might be an exception. But it goes to show that stations with few passengers still get a lot of connections.)

  • Tipp 1: Füge die öffentliche BisschenSturzbach Liste als Verfolger hinzu (IdiotenZentrum Zeiger)

    Tipp 2: Suche nach Alternativen, auf allen möglichen Seiten. Es gibt auch Meta-Sturzbach-Suchmaschinen!

    Tipp 3: Private Verfolger haben extrem viel Inhalt, versuche dort beizutreten

    Tipp 4: NutzNetz, kostet aber leider Geld für Anbieter und Indizierer

  • [article] Japan is inventing trains
  • Switzerland has:

    • the lowest amount of area per km of track, except for micro nations
    • a fairly low amount of population per km of track - among the top 10 if population density is considered
    • lost less than 10% of tracks since its historical peak
    • a majority nationalized rail network
    • (as you mentioned) a fully electrified network

    While I haven't travelled in Japan by rail (or any other mode), I have been to Switzerland. From what I've heard, in Japan there are many smaller local stations, where an ancient train arrives a few times a day.

    Whereas in Switzerland, it seems like nearly every local station has at least one train per hour.

  • [article] Japan is inventing trains
  • Switzerland.

    Japan has outstanding high speed rail but that's pretty much it. Local train servives are, from what I've heard, subpar in terms of frequency. The share of goods transported via rail is also comparatively low.

    Check out these numbers and sort by each colum, Switzerland is always near the top (for population/size adjusted values)

  • I just cited myself.
  • Yes, but similar flaws exist for your proof.

    The algebraic proof that 0.999... = 1 must first prove why you can assign 0.999... to x.

    My "proof" abuses algebraic notation like this - you cannot assign infinity to a variable. After that, regular algebraic rules become meaningless.

    The proper proof would use the definition that the value of a limit approaching another value is exactly that value. For any epsilon > 0, 0.999.. will be within the epsilon environment of 1 (= the interval 1 ± epsilon), therefore 0.999... is 1.

  • I just cited myself.
  • Unfortunately not an ideal proof.

    It makes certain assumptions:

    1. That a number 0.999... exists and is well-defined
    2. That multiplication and subtraction for this number work as expected

    Similarly, I could prove that the number which consists of infinite 9's to the left of the decimal separator is equal to -1:

    ...999.0 = x
    ...990.0 = 10x
    
    Calculate x - 10x:
    
    x - 10x = ...999.0 - ...990.0
    -9x = 9
    x = -1
    

    And while this is true for 10-adic numbers, it is certainly not true for the real numbers.
