Let's say your great-great grandfather stole bricks from a victim to build a factory that you now own and that provides a nice living. Because of that the victim was not able to build a factory and their descendants are poor.
Let's say this crime is very well documented.
Did you do the crime? No. Are you reaping the benefits of the crime? Yes.
Should you give that factory to the descendants? Should you be required to help the poor descendants? Would it be a nice gesture to help the poor descendants?
Nobody is asking for the factory. People are asking for a bit of help because it's clear that you are still reaping the benefits of a crime that was perpetrated by an ancestor and the victims descendants are still feeling the repercussions of that crime.

Anyone know a good, hackable bluetooth mp3 player? Fitbit recently disabled transferring music to my Versa 1. Any cheap, preferably physically clippable, mp3 players? I guess storage being accessible over USB would be enough, but I'd love a device that is easily hackable to my hearts content.

While it's easy to prove rigorously I think the easiest way to think about it is to think what number/numbers could go between 0.9 repeating and 1.
I guess that it also requires a second thought experiment that if no numbers can go between two numbers, those two numbers must be the same.

edit: this might be even easier:

1/3 = 0.333... -> multiply both sides by 3
3/3 = 0.999...
1 = 0.999...

The whole video is pretty good. But I found this part pretty interesting as I hadn't heard it before.

Wishful thinking headlines? I guess it's an opinion piece and I agree that it should be one of the top issues. Still this headline is utter bullshit.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

It's a 10 year old CPU with 4 cores. The game pauses for seconds every so often. About every 2 hours it crashes.

Been playing Starfield on an i5 Haswell CPU (it's a PITA). Currently re-downloading Cyberpunk to play 2.0

This looks like a 15 year old game.

YSalsoK that many sites block these email addresses when trying to sign up. especially the bigger providers of such services.

At least there's no businessinsider article on the frontpage. and only two newsweek articles. both of which specialize in clickbait headlines and questionable article flavoring.
