...multiplied by one? What.

[-] four@lemmy.zip 30 points 3 days ago

The tariff formula includes multiplying by two constants, one of them equal to 4 and the other to 0.25, which is just a roundabout way of multiplying by 1

[-] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

That's about as logical as the tariffs themselves. Everything is normal here, then.

4 and 0.25

(they don't mean anything)

For what safety?

Division has op precedence over addition.

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 8 points 3 days ago

Oh, you assume this runs on a standard arithmetic patterns?

Big mistake my dude.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

When nothing else in the world makes sense, at least math makes sense

[-] ursakhiin@beehaw.org 4 points 3 days ago

You sure? You seem rather confused by the math, my friend.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

No, I’m good on math. It’s reading that I struggle with

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

addition where lol

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 days ago

Pretty common kn SAS code to transform a number in string type to numeric.

Implicit casting to int I guess /s

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Or some sort of normalized conversion factor like "tariff rate boys kissed per star sign" to get the units to work out correctly.

[-] Redacted@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

One random star sign of your choosing.

[-] groet@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Just the typical efficiency of this government

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 12 points 3 days ago

I wonder what value each star sign is. Tied to month of the year? So like 4 for aries?

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Unicode modulo 12 + 1

Aries = β™ˆ = U+2648
2648 base 16 = 9800 base 10
9800 modulo 12 = 8
8 + 1 = 9

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 3 points 3 days ago

I'm unclear why you'd modulo when the OP calls for division?

That said, I hate that this almost works out to a reasonable sounding tariff rate number with the modulo.

[-] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

this is just getting the star sign value, so before the division

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 3 points 3 days ago

You still have to divide by the number of boys you kissed and multiply by one

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 1 points 3 days ago

Right. So I assume in your case, you've kissed 12 boys* which would be why you'd modulo by 12. But why do the modulo instead of division?

*Side note: do they have to be boys (as in juvenile/adolescent males), or are we counting grown men too?

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 3 points 3 days ago

There are 12 zodiacs. In unicode, they have consecutive hexadecimal codes (2648 to 2653). Converting to decimal, doing modulo 12 and adding 1 should yield the numbers 1 to 12. At least that was my intention.

Sadly, this instance has no appropriate community for a crosspost

It should obviously go in !div0@lemmy.dbzer0.com, right? It's the meta community for the instance, and although the meme isn't directly relevant, the posting of the meme in that community would be rather meta indeed...
