Exquisitely organized cables

>> ^charliem:

If that is actually cat 6 ill eat my hat. FUCK organising cat6 cable.


I agree with your sentiment, however if you watch in 720p and pause a couple of times between 0:34 and 0:36 you can see "CAT 6 UTP" printed on some of the cables.

Sorry, hope your hat is tasty.

Exactly. I would like to see this dubbed into Pashtun.

the irony of that statement in regards to US foreign policy is epic

Couldn't understand a lot of what was said after the "drip" part.


There certainly was a lot of talking over each other, but this is what I heard:


Cox: "I think that just a drip of that quantative easing to the science budget would possibly transform our economy."

Campbell: "He could get into Downing Street anytime he wants, and why don't you stand for parliament?"

Cox: *Stammers*

Neil: "Good answer"

Cox: "Not much happens then does it, I think you've got to be ..."

Portillo: "don't you have a 15 year term in the House of Lords?"

Cox: " .. don't you have to be Prime Minister, at least, until you can get anything done?"

Illiteracy

heathen says...

When a video that's 11 seconds long needs "Wait for it" in the description it might be time to consider that the problem is with people's attention span, not their literacy.

Infinity is bigger than you think - Numberphile

heathen says...

>> ^heathen:
Wouldn't it make more sense to say that some infinite sets are more dense than others, rather than bigger?
Whether or not the numbers of an infinite set could theoretically be listed both sets are still infinite in size.

If you take the set of natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) and the set of integers (.. -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...), you will see that the infinite set of natural numbers is encompassed within the infinite set of integers. Thus the infinite set of integers is "bigger" by any measure.
If you prefer to look at the set of integers within the set of real numbers, you could reasonably use the term "denser" since there is an infinite and uncountable set between any given pair of integers, but bigger is still a reasonable term.


What if we were to talk about the numbers between 0 and 10, instead of 0 and infinity?

Some sets would be listable, and some not. In one number line there would be 10 numbers, and in others an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 10.

However we wouldn't say that some tens are bigger than other tens, as 10 always equals 10.

Even though it would take longer to list all the three decimal place numbers between 0 and 10 than it would to list the integers between 0 and 10 it doesn't make the first 10 larger than the second.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say that some infinite sets are more dense than others, rather than bigger?

Whether or not the numbers of an infinite set could theoretically be listed both sets are still infinite in size.

If, for example, we imagine two infinitely sized parallel universes, one with 1 star per billion cubic light years and the other with 10 stars per billion cubic light years. We wouldn't say that one of the universes was 10 times bigger than the other - they are both infinite.
