    For Laurent's problem, even if we ignore the year, it's still a WTF, having to wait a month for updates on the status of your electricity outage.

    29% on Nan dollars? Such a deal. Are the terms ∞ ? Perhaps the the calculation involves sqrt(-1)?

  • (nodebb)

    Good bet on the last of those. Any money you might receive is certainly only imaginary. :)

    "What is 30% of NaN?" It's emptystring!

    scrap LinkedIn profiles

    scrap? Or "scrape"? Kinda hard to do the former.

    A late payment charge of 2.91% per month (41.09% per year)

    Is math really that hard, or are corporations forced some legal loophole for compound interest on late fees, or what?

    2.91 * 12 = 34.92
41.09 / 12 = 3.42

    I can't see your reply, Mathssssss, but the penny finally dropped

    1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291 * 1.0291
1.41080
41.08%

    30% of a NaN is an N. NaN is 24 bits long, 30% of that is 7.2 bits. 7 bits can hold a N, and you get 1/5th of a zero thrown in for free. That is, if we decide to sacrifice the topmost bit since we only need 7 for ASCII.

    Unfortunately, due the unplanned outage, the time server is also unavailable.

    scrap LinkedIn profiles

    Yes. Down with Linked In profiles.

    Anyway, if anybody wants to buy Google, I'm willing to sell it at a 50% discount. Just put $2 trillion into my account and you can have it.

    30% of NaN is N.

  • (nodebb) in reply to Neveranull

    N would be 33⅓%, while 30% would be l\

  • Officer Johnny Holzkopf (unregistered) in reply to gordonfish

    3/3N = N, 2/3N = Λ, 1/3N = I. Or maybe 3/3N = N, 2/3N = n, 1/3N = ⁿ. Fractions of letters are complicated...

  • (nodebb) in reply to Officer Johnny Holzkopf

    I get what you're saying, though I was going by where Neveranull said

    30% of NaN is N.

    where the percentage is taken of "NaN" rather than of a single character.
