Aedes aegypti is a non-native invasive species introduced by humans in the places where these efforts are taking place (including the entire Western hemisphere). They are not essential to native food chains here.

But why should the fairest price be equal to exactly 12 months of earnings? Why not 1 month, or 100 months?

Is there something special about the length of Earth's orbit that makes it the correct ratio for converting flows to values? If a business were incorporated on Mars, would the fair price be one Earth year of earnings, or one Mars year of earnings? (The latter price would be 88% higher.)

Thanks, I missed that 将 was shinjitai. I wonder what caused the weird mixture of glyphs in that example image.

The comment above is about non-rechargable lithium-metal batteries. You are thinking of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

So first you say it has always cost this much, but in the next breath you say that its cost has outpaced a high rate of inflation. Mathematically, these can't both be true.

We're commenting on an article about IEEE 754 floating point values. Following the IEEE 754 standard, we have:

    >> isNaN(Infinity)
    false
    >> Infinity == Infinity
    true
    >> Infinity / Infinity == 1
    false

    >> isNaN(0)
    false
    >> 0 == 0
    true
    >> 0 / 0 == 1
    false

Also, you say NaN ("not a number") is "defined as a number" but Infinity is not. I would think every IEEE 754 value is either "a number" or "not a number". But apparently you believe NaN is both and Infinity is neither?

And you say 0 / 0 is "undefined" but the standard requires it to be NaN, which you say is "defined".

> two equal numbers divided by themselves equal 1

That's not true. For example: 0 == 0, but 0/0 != 1.

(See also +Infinity, -Infinity, and -0.)

Oops, thanks for the correction.

In versions earlier than 1.88, garbage collection required the unstable -Zgc flag (and a nightly toolchain). But in 1.88 and later, automatic garbage collection is enabled by default.
