How did he manage to make it disappear? They're pretty strict about keeping track of those.

At any time, they can quit and get real jobs.

That should be the norm for any sort of government job.

They did not get treated well.

I only found out about M.O.D. because of S.O.D.

Jim Gordon had one bad day.

If I was lost at sea, I would be looking to spend some time in the desert. Maybe he wants an RV instead.

In other words, eugenics.

That's how additional bases work. You can go above 10 (most commonly base-16) by finding additional symbols too.

If you want to have it be anything more than a mathematical curiosity, you would have to find a practical application for it.

Binary's largest practical application is in digital systems, where every signal can ultimately be broken down into series discrete "on" or "off" switches on a circuit board.

Consider a byte of data. Instead of thinking of it as a number between 0 and 255 (inclusive), think of it as an electrical circuit with eight switches. Each bit desugnates one of those switches as on or off. 00000000 might mean that they are all in the off position, while 11111111 would likewise mean that they are in the on position.

If you were working with a system with three-position switches, a trinary number system like you describe would fit it well, but I don't know of any systems with "off," "on," and "more" as the switch positions.

I didn't know about this. Interesting.

They even shared his badge number.

It's not like anyone with a brain honestly thinks that the intent of restrictions is to make people safer.

If you called me French, I would be offended.

A dancer's shoes will likely not last more than a few weeks. The dancer's feet will change over time, and each new pair of shoes will need to be a perfect fit.

Getting new shoes custom-measured and custom-made would be insanely expensive (especially considering how many dancers would have to have shoes), so mass-production of shoes which get modified by the end user is the most viable way of doing it.

1890s was when it became available outside of experimental stuff.

The optical stuff behind red eyes was understood before film capable of storing color was invented.

>(especially considering this was like mid-1900s?)

Somehow, it's both a century before you think and a lot more recent than you think.

People in the past weren't stupid. They were smarter than the kind of person who thinks that simply being of an earlier time makes you stupid.

>“She stated that we were going to find it anyways at jail and she did not want to go through the hassle,” officers wrote in the arrest report.

Sounds like she's been arrested before.

If you think that this sort of thing is only a feature of the past, you should remember that there are a lot of people involved in higher education administration who claim that it is racist to NOT discriminate against applicants of Asian descent.
