The formula is:
n! / (n − r)!
Since there is 10 (n=10) total numbers, 0-9. And it can only be 3 (r=3) digits long. Then it would be,
10! / (10-3)!* which would result in,
10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 / (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 10 * 9 * 8 = 720.
The second part of the answer is more useful information, "Normally, you’d shift by the mean."
Can the author or anyone explain how were the amount for values shifted chosen? I.e. Weight (minus 135) and Height (minus 66). Why was -135 and -66 chosen? An explanation would be helpful. Thanks!
I never really tried using Chrome unless I absolutely had to because I believe in the separation of services and because I started losing my trust in Google. I didn't want to be tracked. I don't have nothing to hide, but I still appreciate my right to privacy. I thought I was already sharing enough with my Google searches and YouTube usage.
I do continue to use gmail, but I've been keeping an eye open for reputable alternatives with security that matches that of Google, since it has that going for itself. I still haven't really found an alternative... yet, at least not one that is convincing enough to make the switch.
Just recently I changed the default search engine on all my devices to be DuckDuckGo as they seem to be a much better alternative when it comes to privacy.
It's pretty sad that greed has consumed Google and all they care is about maximizing profits instead of balancing profit and user experience/privacy. I really wish they can be that company they used to be, until then I'll keep my eyes open.

For those who might not know about the Nissan.com domain story, basically one guy named Uzi Nissan owned it and fought Nissan Motors to keep the domain and succeeded [2].
However, Mr. Nissan died in 2020 from COVID complications. A story about that news was posted here on Hacker News last year[3].
Does anyone know anything about what happened here?
