I did that too. I meant like totally unintentionally.

And I'm supposed to cater to them? Nah. I just was curious and asked a question. :)

So as somebody relatively well versed in math but definitely not full blown mathematician (engineer with a math minor) - I accept that this is a conclusion that a lot of people smarter than myself have agreed on but it still always bothered me.

I’m not disagreeing that it’s how the math falls out but I feel like there’s something fundamentally wrong with it. It’s like (and more or less related to) our understanding of quantum mechanics.. it feels like our current understandings are a case of the kid who got the right answer despite solving it incorrectly and like there’s a significant error/piece missing.

Thanks for an actual answer instead of BS about Gen z. I just thought it was a really interesting idea. Random thought that popped into my head when I was thinking about streaming

I've got my cable box right here, love.

I know, love.

That's hilarious to me too bc I actually used to watch family guy on the phone with my friends when I was back in high school haha. We had the house phone and TV. Pretty weird but interesting similar story

Ultimately it's a semantics question about how you measure the "number" of things in an uncountably infinite set.

Consider "every real number" x in (1, +∞). There is a corresponding real number in (0,1) which is 1/x. So the sets are exactly the same size.

No, they just had to deal with the recurring nightmare of pre-industrial, pre-medicinal, pre-agricultural life.

Thank you! I was looking for an interesting conversation about a complex idea. Not everyone complaining about Gen z. I'm almost 40 lol

I appreciate this video! Thanks a lot!!

How very confident of you

If you were on the swim team before the 1970's, it was normal to be naked there ( but nowhere else on campus ) .

Before I get anymore Gen z comments, guys, I had a random curious thought about data, streaming, and analytics. I grew up pre-internet and cell phones. I'm looking for others that may have had that same crazy thought I had... not another 20 people saying "live tv" lol it's oldddd

You need to log in as a user so if parents have admin privileges, the car will record everything, where it went, how fast it was driving, and what time it came back. Come the next morning, the electric cars will snitch everything to the owner parents.

Friendly reminder OP did not specify whole numbers. They are correct.

I also watched jeopardy last night with my wife. It's so funny you all assume I'm Gen z.... I just had a random thought about streaming nowadays, its so funny how that touches such a nerve for people...

I disagree, it’ll be like Bane dogging on Wall Street in Dark Knight 3

I'm in my late 30s. This was literally one of those random questions that popped into my mind. Geeeez people

Cable is NOT more available than streaming. Cable requires a home, installation, and a huge bill. Streaming requires an internet enabled device and a relatively small upfront cost. Cable is not more accessible equitable or available
