Do you think your size 12 shoes are exactly 12 inches long? The actual shoe size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but what you really care about is if they fit your feet and guess what - they probably do.
But they are not restricted to power-of-two sector counts. That would be stupid. What if technology improves enough for a 30% increase in disk size ? Would you want to buy that disk, or do you insist on buying the smaller one, just because it has a power of two ?
We didn't know how to write *these* algorithms. At least, I'm not aware of any algorithms, before the AI hype, that could do what Watson, AlphaGo or autonomous vehicles can do.
Inventory control also needs to deal with fruit that's thrown out because it is bruised or moldy. Both can be combined by accounting for the crates as they enter or leave the produce section.
My argument isn't that dividing by ten doesn't make sense. It certainly does for people who have ten fingers. It does raise the question of why we don't use units of 20 with our toes and all.
It has more to do with the base-10 decimal system for numbers than with the number of fingers. Dividing by 10 is better, because it only involves moving the decimal point.
Of course, for temperatures, this point is irrelevant, because we don't usually divide or multiply them, or convert them to other units (and if we do, we use Kelvin).
Actually, I'm quite happy with mine. 100/33 Mbps, no caps, excellent customer service, and they'll let me run my own servers, including smtp/http/ssh and games.
Why should someone sell a product if they can't display their name or logo on it?
When you see the product, you're already in the fucking store, with logos on every single flat surface.
How should a product code be memorised?
Cash registers around here have a flip book attached, with color pictures, name and code. After a while, the cashier will automatically remember the most common items.
It doesn't work on majority of fruits. Most of the information they print is redundant. Nobody needs the shop logo. The country of origin is already printed on the bin. The product code can be memorized/looked up by the cashier. That only leaves the best-by date, which, in the case of avocados, isn't very reliable.
I think this AI assisted driving should be taken out of the cars. This technology is not ready for the real world
I assume you have studied the overall rate of accidents caused by this technology vs the number of accidents prevented by it. Can you post a link to the research, please ?

Except that hard drives have been getting bigger and cheaper over the years.
That is 1,474,560 bytes or **exactly** 1.440000 Megabytes.
Minus the sectors that are only partially filled with data. Shouldn't you be writing an angry letter about that ?
Ask a student who needs to pay for tuition how much of a good thing it is you selfish dick
If you're asking McD for a free handout, just so you can pay tuition, you're the selfish dick.

I wear a size 10, you insensitive clod.
Disks use 512/4096 byte sectors

Obviously not. I'm talking about automation that we couldn't do, but that's now possible due to demented AI hype.

Before the demented AI hype, this was called "automation".
No, before the demented AI hype, this was called "we don't know how to do this".
And yes, we all know it's "weak AI".
The carbon from the avocado skin will, at some point, be converted to CO2 anyway.
I don't know that raising children is a good idea. How about hunting the wild ones ?

That's an excuse to sell unlabelled product that no one can identify out of the store?
You need a store logo to identify an avocado ?
I actually worked as a cash register. Identifying different types of apples is frigging hard
How does laser printing avocados help with that ?
The reality in all these things is that the "spend money now" part happens, but the "save money later" part never seems to materialize.
That's because the contractor's job is finished after "spend money now".
A simple solution is to make them the same price.
Star Wars' Han Solo spinoff directors quit in the middle of shooting
They should have shot first, and then quit.
To produce three avocados, you need 264 gallons of water = 1m^3 = 1000 liters. That is more water than consumed by a child in one year.
Children consume a lot more water. For instance, if your child eats 1 avocado per month, they are already 4 times over that amount.
Must be bitch to eat raspberries that way.
Cash registers at the super markets around here have colour touch screens
I hope we can skip those, and go directly to cameras with image recognition to identify the fruit automatically.
