Yeah that’s how I read it and sang to myself “one of these things is not like the others”, but not being super into thrash, I wouldn’t have picked up on it having meant to be Anthrax

As someone who doesn't know anything about this, why is it not 4. I mean other than to complete the poem. Seems like y/y, y/n, n/y, n/n are all different things

Seems like y/y, y/n, n/y, n/n are all different things One bit stores on/off, and is represented by 1 or 0. Think of yes = on = 1, and no = off = 0. Each question can be answered either yes or no, and there are two questions ("shave" and "haircut") So you need two bits to encode the answer to both questions. yes yes = 11 yes no = 10 no no = 00 no yes = 01

2 bits was also slang for a quarter. (as was the style at the time)

Fun fact, that's also why they called a dollar a byte (8 quarters/bits), and where we get the phrase "going out for a byte to eat" or "bite" as it's spelled these days. Then when computers were invented these slang terms carried over

Stexils posted:back when america was on the gold standard people had to check whether their coins were real gold or foil wrapped chocolate coins Sounds like win-win either way. E: fun fact about when America was on the gold standard The gold standard is why quarters have ridges along the side. With all the gold found during the gold rush, it brought the overall value of gold down. Effectively making the amount of gold in a quarter less than the value of the quarter itself. As such, the mint came up with the idea to cut the ridges into the quarters to reduce the amount of materials used and reduce it's own cost per quarter. The material retrieved from cutting the ridges allowed them to mint an additional 250,000 quarters each year with the same material cost, preventing a Golden Depression.

Yellow Yoshi posted:I always thought it was to prevent people scraping down the sides to make counterfeit coins It's to prevent them from shaving off metal to sell separately, and making them harder to counterfeit. Prior to '65 they were silver, not gold. To my knowledge they were never gold, aside from a weird commemorative thing in 2016. Blue Footed Booby has a new favorite as of 14:22 on May 12, 2021 |
