I prefer to use logarithms:
x * y = exp[ ln(x) + ln(y)]
so for example:
48 * 13 = exp[ ln(48) + ln(13)] = exp[3.871 + 2.564] = exp[6.436] = 624
Logarithms increase slowly, so it is just as easy to do this in your head with multidigit numbers too. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-09-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVcW1va3I5elNNWEpDdk43NjFkQmFqRWRQdlVEYTZfV2FnZFZRbnpKWDhfeHo2Yk0xV2FSR2ZkZEhKczhOazJSa2lmb2dRa1FtZ0RZcEVKVGwzdFA1QVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzUXBfdXF5Q19sY3ljb3NFRGptYzA5bHdvLUd5UEphUEtkdUpPb1lDYmZxM1loUTFfR1NheEswSU93RnlpZkdaNkVUVjFPYmxWWkl0VEV4dWxBbzF1OGYycWF5X1YzMzczZ1lHV0xOanpwNXVld2F3bGl0S3lDbXBjOE9oUndMSjZIOXBoMG1QbjktMzg0aF9ySk82b3IteXozQmk3STh2VnZ6QXg0YW85dG04OGU0ZjV6d1paWWxTX3M5YWVrRjRlZXhqWjg0bFRrMVJQSGFIMF9Dc0hHZz09 |
I have a book on mental math, and this is essentially the technique that the author uses to square numbers mentally really quickly.
In other words,
x^2 = (x+k)(x-k) + k^2
where you substitute x's into the equation you gave.
[This](http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Mental-Math-Mathemagicians-Calculation/dp/0307338401/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252127490&sr=8-1) is the book. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-09-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVN2NLLVY3STAtWW9vX3FycTI3MG9qX3ZOUjBkRWo1dGlmV3dsZW9rZjFGQzlJZ3FaQTBlNm5kb0RZclhsREowb2lMd0g5bTdJVjhJSjljTUV5b0N2SHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzTW80U3ZzNm0wdVJKSkRhODI1Mmt1aTJ0RE9NUGNnd1NSSFlOWHA2RGlNMVVWLTZvMW5xbEV5bU53NjVUUlpBNF8zOG9DM1BCSzVMQlkxWHpwcVVIVmJpMUNvVjhTdjIzUnlKWG5SVHEtOVV0YWtSWXo4ZkZtYVoxZG56NU5uQjY1MWtTbVZOblFySWs5V2FEMU9aRFEwbm5qUlFSYzFldG1YQmE0Ymt6dnA3ZWlvdkI0VlAzTTc5cWcwa1ZaRnhRSm9YOUM3bEZRQ1dscWRabXQ0cGcydz09 |
I read this when I was a kid. There was this whole book of math tricks I had, and another one was to quickly mutiply 2 digits by 11, you put a space between the two digits, add them together, and put that number in the middle, carrying to the hundreds place if necessary.
22 x 11 = 2\_2 + \_4\_ = 242
67 x 11 = 6\_7 + 13\_ = 737
Few people know your trick, I think. You can still astonish people. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-09-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVS3E1d2E5Y0ZZcl9WWE1iLTNKRGFGejlQc2hoRnBvdmk4S3BTY2xlX19OY251Tk5xZGZrTUVxNHR3OHUyNE1FS0hZYVRGbFctTTA0aHQ1bEtySmxtOUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzYkdJVTVnb0FINW0tYU15MFpQSl9PYnR6SVprX1YwdDdGODBaOV9sX3BneTQ5RlR0emRzaFEzSEJQcVpUQnBmVElyOWxXMkNJUzhxUHhyNWItTXBLM0E0NlFDaktIU19XRXdiOGNzWVVKeUFWMTNnbWJnUmFRTFVhUWJUSEdkdE1NYnpMbTNlYmNBXzR1Y2h2QXNDNXFKdTBvOUdzQVgxc19zYWtNZWpXbmxXaE00Unlsa2Znd1RNS0lBakREMXJJeWo0LUl2WFFCSFQyWUtDV2o0SG5GQT09 |

I always thought that one used 4 1,1-digit multiplications:
[ab] * [cd] = a\*c\*100 + b\*c\*10 + a\*d\*10 + b\*d
so 56\*22 = 5\*2\*100 + 6\*2\*10 + 5\*2\*10 + 6\*2 = 1000 + 120 + 100 + 12 = 1232.
which gets you an extra addition but no 1,2-digit multiplications at all. Plus, because of all the 0's, the additions are relatively easy.
I'd say: nice thinking, but those 15 minutes will have to wait a bit :) | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-09-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVQkp1TmZxUjd5Sy13SGZTUGlNSnc0d21sRWFJRC04dGtUMUZWZUlHX0RTbkNqNmZZUHRJaHNvQ29lVG54Vm5jdW5fYU9YR2RWMFhHNWhoT0Fqb0x5M3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzQktoN0w4TnFBMFdTNk1kdDdiZERwYllLN1lydV9KU3hkb2tmWkRKcVR5UC1UUThQZlRZSVdXRnRPcmo4NXZVcFY2M09fdE1Id01QaVRQVG41TVI5MzRlRjM2aEFoRkZQdnpScE42NzVaNVFZQ1FuLWp4REFYU2NlT0NyTE5rME9MdTl2MmZyTjU3bXU1UUt3MmNkTHhMNkxueXBTdmtOajdVVXVGVHdkOTNSM3U1QXlCZUQyOTdCVElad3BOeWRYNWs3dlhGQWg5REIzc1lUajlwaWxaUT09 |

It's easy, you just estimate it while taking into consideration the derivative to keep in mind how fast it should be increasing.

I couldn't care less about american:
- health care
- politics
- celebrities
- corruption
Which covers about 95% of the stories on reddit. Who's with me!
EDIT:
1. Unless your website filters the entire world out, its not an american website.
2. I like Americans, I have some great American friends, I just don't give a crap about the current political "news".
3. I love reddit but in the last year or so I have found it a lot more difficult to find content that I am interested in, when I first started it was easy. I ignored it during the presidential campaign (fair enough guys) but now its just annoying.
4. I also prefixed my question with 'Wouldn't it be great' not 'Aren't Americans all assholes'
If I unsubscribe from say, politics, wouldn't I miss some interesting Australian political stories? Would I need a subreddit au.politics (unless it was cross posted to AUSTRALIA)? Then wouldn't we need a subreddit for every country that had politics? The question I asked I think was a valid one. 'POLITICS' should contain all political stories but it would be nice to filter certain topics or countries of origin.
Thanks to everyone who gave actual suggestions.
P.S Australia:
- has free healthcare
- has already seemingly recovered from the 'financial crisis' that apparently originated in America
- has lobsters the size of your average dog

Due subreddit generalisti italiani sono troppi: meglio tenerne uno solo, ed il sondaggio ha decretato /italy vincente.
Chiediamo a tutti di smettere di inserire link qui dentro (a breve questo spazio sarà cancellato), e di iscrivervi a /italy.. magari togliendo l'iscrizione a /it.
Ci stiamo confrontando tra moderatori per pubblicare un regolamento di /italy.. anzi, se avete idee scrivete pure a me o killerapp. Fondamentalmente, dobbiamo trovare un modo per far aumentare i link interessanti e dare un bel giro di vite allo spam. | r/it | post | r/it | 2009-09-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVSm9pWnF4bFptRzlfV3BxcjVmMmJNT3JPck9zckVNZURlMGhMX2ZTdUUwbWw0b3E2RjBYRTE4YWhwUnZlVnZpLTQwTS1Pa2xSRGdnZ1NHM3AzMWhZVVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzTlQxcWZGRUpjRVMtSTJPWTN6N2VaeWZjZ1NNVWZHVURYOXZvcEx4eE0wTHBuUG9ac1BlcDh2cFFLbVN3bmNPbTVMMkxHbEdxLW5OTHUzUHJSWDNNcnczRVZfejMxR3RoWWQ1ZVZyTUs1QVJMU1ZwdkVDWkFCZGhsZHRYVmZqR2x5NktoTXpldnFpcC0wWDNjZ2FEQlF4WWdSQ0czMl8weFJ4VGtSZ3FHOGRteGRpWEg4bGthcnI5OWlybzZOVkh0 |
I too, like the 5000+ of you who upvoted the post about the "You Lie!" outburst during Obama's speech, didn't bother to check to see if this was actually true. And unfortunately I made myself look like a fool by passing the link off to others as fact, so the embarrassment alone is enough to keep me from making the same mistake twice.
Edit: Sorry, new to posting on reddit. Thought this link was included already:

Second edit: The main issue I have with the title of the post mentioned was the use of the words "No Democrat has ever disrupted"
Had it said, "No democrat (or anyone for that matter) has ever called the president a liar." it would have been much more accurate. | r/politics | post | r/politics | 2009-09-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVZ2ZxZVdZMzF3MVM5RG5Bd0lKZ1BFYUN2QzJ0V3JaUklGZ2tsM2pPalNMTEVid2FlUmlHWWtxTFBfSldzOVk1cFZYMENiY01NQ3ZueGRaRnFxS0FXNmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzcm40NmFHMXJSMGpqZ29ld0kwQnFxTzBLNnUzbEUwMjlDVWxHYnlMUThac3FIRVZKLWU1TkxwV0s1YVdYTUk1TWxZYVhpby04RE9pTVJzcXRkeGNfeUJXMWFuX0g2Y2FKbUFtdDAzQUFpZzh5cms5a3ZjZE9qa1JrY3Vndk5hWFoxU3FBYjZBWERvaHZZWDhBQldyUGVJM3BfQUJEVEZrVXJmM1c0NDluTTl2dVh0UWM2N3dlanpodWlGaWlQYjZBN1lFZnZod0FqaFRSTkhud3Y4ZEtjZz09 |

Sorry, just needed to vent. I had to install Nero Vision from my Nero 8 package and that involved:
* The default install I did months ago did not include the most useful piece of software other than Nero itself yet it included all kinds of gimmicks and worthless shit amounting 1.2GB of crap on my drive.
* I could not use the installer CD because I had updated the tool after install
* Furthermore, there was no install manager so I could not manage the installed applications
* When I launched the uninstaller, to see if it was a wrapper to the application installer like with other tools, it uninstalled the whole thing without even asking. Well, fuck you.
* Course, made me reboot after uninstall. Twice. Fucking nuisance.
* I had to download an updated installer from the website. Good luck finding the nero 8 installer right away, it took some google-fu to find it since it's nowhere to be seen from the site navigation which pushes you into buyig the yet-even-more-useless piece of crap which is version 9
* Reinstall required yet another reboot. FUCK THAT.
Now I only have Nero and Nero Vision, no side crap. This is the only good thing that came out of this ordeal. | r/software | post | r/software | 2009-09-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVZDZQaW8yYjdaQkdwenFUYWw2Vi1qU296c0FMdTJLVk9qc1BncnpmekVnSXgzWVFlaVM3bXNOVXRSRjJUQnB6QWVJTGxEU2NMNG83dXJEZnpEbk1tVEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzWWVNWElqUEpvVWw5U3dlNUU3ZGhCdm9fWmgwczBVSkZKVHU3WHBPYTVrd0o2MnBmaE5tYUlFaHBJUER3MVBjTURvQm1WLTl6RVRFWWhESUQ1Z2tzV18zTmZVd1pMX2pVa2hFbE93S0FCSkpYc2V0OENsNXdmODhoQmM1Z244R3FGNHUxR01NNjhtSzJTTVRIWGZpWGZpT1dQbTF1ZjljcVJ4bmYwNjE2NkVoT09VNXlWRDhGYng4eEJ5LXgySFdWRGVJNmFIZ3plSzl3ZGFzOVpVaWxVQT09 |
Personal question.
Alright full disclosure. I am a geek *Shocking I know* More specifically, I am a science and technology geek. Also I am now in the computer security field (I blame growing up with "Thief"). The problem I am having is, I tend to attract mostly art geeks, and I don't understand them. I want to be able to understand art, poetry, music, ect but the best reaction I can get out of myself is "ooooooh that looks nice." To me it doesn't seem to perk my interest and at most its something to look at. Right now the Mona Lisa, and some kids photoshop are on the same level. Anyone have any advice on how I can start appreciating art more? | r/askusers | post | r/AskUsers | 2009-09-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVWFNlM1FSY0NWYUl3SGd3RTk4UDZwTEtiSUxQQTR6X3NXOHdzbFBWdDBIZWhvbGpIR1Z4LVdNZTVQSzFfRnlROG5IeHpfMFo2T0hCVFFPN1BEWUZ4NWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzOHNEbDJWS05uQ3cxZjZVcG4yZV9BZTluRkUwVHhpQ0hITGpyQ0Q1cURtb2E0VFN3SklrVGxWZElFVVVWWjlKcENsZ1FuMFA2dzRISHNNTGJXdGpQWjRnNkRGSTZkSVV2Q0gxLXllMjNpRXpGdFVuQ0hUX3VxODVGWGRxN1Z5RTFtSGwyZkhpZURMa2Q2S082dk1oemJINFMyb2xQOVZLekR3ZVByRldoMmZlblVueFNLaTVCMVJUWWdnVzNUbUF0 |

Support sure, but not only that. Ubuntu has been growing really a lot and looks like is going to be leader. That means: more and more software will be packaged for ubuntu and more and more people will join *in the future. So, it is not just about the people who are already there.

Oh look! I googled it so it must be true! Fact is that Ubuntu is the most popular distro, it is also on average the distribution with the least informed users. At some point the number of people asking stupid questions will outnumber the capacity to answer them. Ubuntu is **not** easier to use than mint. Ubuntu is **not** more stable than debian. Ubuntu is **not** faster than arch. Just because something is well publicized doesn't mean it's the best solution, if you beleive that sod off and buy windows. | r/linux | comment | r/linux | 2009-09-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVSTdPbGhHVlMtVF9NV19IdVNYX3R2WlltQ0g3cy1lSE5XWHgycTZ2RG1ON29jRk5sLUJhcVV1bWJJb290SkRyd0htZUZtZ0tnZjVNbE9JN0tDNjZ6QWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzcWpmZkZVODctVi15bUhvOFFyT095aENkeG5GNnBBVGNSbnBhSDdYcFhJVHRQOFNPYkktLTU3RkI3VkJZSVFEOE1CaTM5eDg3cl9BUDZ2S0Vlb2hubXo4RnZ0ejdUOUI5N0ZLemxaeFZWc29GREhwQWJDM1JBbkdqOGdnaEN6VE54amhHX1NyYnlpbXJzbmwydUpqSzd5SzdhMUM1ZktGaWZtYmt2cUlfeUtsOWw2dmVtZW12eU1tdXYzR1NXOGxnNzBhNmMyMHMwdkx0ZkJjdlRwWmpRdz09 |

I don't get that either. I've been a UNIX (Solaris) admin for going on 15 years now and until Ubuntu, I wouldn't have Linux on my desktop. I do enough sysadmin at work without having to admin my workstation.

Thanks for writing this. Really, I didn't want to open a distro-war. I love linux and I am happier if more people use it. Just thought Ubuntu is the best way to go in this respect.

i've had quite a few macs in my computer using life time.
I've also seen them last through quite a bit of life/near death.
had an iBook for a good 3 years. had a macbook for 2 years. 1.5 of which *after* it was run over by a car.
have macbook pro now... just over a year old. have gone through 2 super drives (non user inflicted damage). 2 OS reinstalls and 2 hard drive failures. one of which occurred 5 minutes ago.
oh but don't worry, i only use my laptop for surfing the internets and twattering, not for my job or anything, no god forbid I use it for actual computing power...
I still have the ran over black and white macbook from 2+ years back though, maybe i'll bring that in, at least it still works.

Edit again: Not going to offer. Most people suggested "yes do it", but the few that said no happened to claim to be female. I imagine the women would know how a woman would react.
TLDR: Female friend hasn't gotten laid in a long time, I don't want to make her feel pathetic by offering her a pity fuck, should I offer anyways?
-
-
I have a friend, lets call her Jane. Jane is a really cool girl I met who goes to a local college a few miles away from mine. We've rapidly become best friends. Most of you probably had that great friend of the opposite sex who you weren't necessarily physically attracted to, but got along great with all the time. This is that situation. She's my best female friend, I tell her everything, I'm her best (straight) guy friend, she tells me everything.
Now, here's the tricky part. We're both pretty outgoing sexual people. As in, we like to have sex, and we don't really want actual relationships. So, we tend to target people who have similar interest in short sexual relationships with no strings attached. We've both had our successes and failures, but hey, even the failures tend to make great stories to tell to each other. "Hey last night I attempted to have sex with some dude and I went to put his condom on for him and he came in my hand, and then was so embarrassed he ran out of the room with his pants down and a used condom halfway on his dick!" That was an actual story she told me happened about 8 months ago, lol. We also do a lot of casual flirting, mostly consisting of casting each other as the butt of raunchy jokes.
As you can tell, Jane is hilarious and awesome to hang out with. However, and I'll put this as nicely as I can, she's not exactly much of a looker. She's also recently been having a pretty long dry spell sparsely interspersed with real douchebag guys who really don't understand the concept of a fun one night stand and not being a total dick just because the girl is relatively easy.
Now, (and I'm 100% sure she'd be receptive to the idea if I offered), I am considering offering to have sex with her not really as a pity fuck...but more like a friend helping a friend in need? Well, I guess it's a pity fuck when it comes down to it, but the word choice makes it seem so pathetic. I mean, everyone just needs a good fuck every once in a while, you know? And I've totally been in long dry spells where I would have gratefully accepted a pity fuck from a friend. But then again, I'm a dude, and I tend to separate emotions and sex to a fault.
Anyways, what's holding me back is not that I'm afraid that the sex would kill our friendship (I'm 99% sure it won't, but we're such good pals that we'd openly talk about it first), or that it would be bad, but more so that I'm not especially attracted to her physically, and she probably knows that. She's very smart, and very perceptive, and she knows she's not exactly great looking. Yeah, she's sensitive about it to a degree too. Which is why we get along so well, because I treat her exactly the same as I would if she was a Jessica Biel clone. Okay, well, maybe not Biel, lol. I'd jump that so hard...
fapfapfapANYWAYS. I don't want her to feel bad by being offered a pity fuck. I have good intentions, but it might make her feel unwanted or hurt her self esteem to think that she has to get a pity fuck from her friend just to get any action at all. Or worse, that her friend realizes she's that desperate and feels bad enough to offer a fuck.
So! The question. If you were in her shoes (and I'm especially interested in hearing female responses), would you be interested in a pity fuck from your good friend to break a long dry spell? How would you feel about being offered such a thing, and would you accept? Would you regret it afterwards? Any personal anecdotes you could tell to share your experiences?
Any responses would be great, I really appreciate it! | r/askreddit | post | r/AskReddit | 2009-09-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVbVNiUzJuN3BqUGdxRGZMWG85M3hxZzNwNkdQR21sRWs3Nmx0emRMZnMwdHkyWWM5U1FhMk81cXlHckgzVE5WRWhTUzh1TnBySU9kUWNhbWVZUmxZQnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzWDRObnhTdFZpSnVVNUZVaURMckR4OUplSnVHMHBWQmNteFV3WVhLTnpaSGs4dmtaRWxLN0RFS1dORTFGZzVsWW9COUN1eVBuS2w3c2lRUEs5WVAzdlFZNUxZdUJpdUhVX0pJRThrb3NXX1FjVjhyYVhYR0k2LWVleWRSYkk3MlptbVhja0huWWdJRVZoMzdseExodlkyLU4wOHNWVUJnNlFPOXBWajU2S2hoeEpLZDVsTmx5MkxiSHIzdDFlMVR6 |

I think that modern art was definitely about breaking rules, beginning with expressionism and onward to dada and surrealism. The expressions of these artists at the the time were the vanguard of consciousness, challenging every rule, so perhaps one could argue that Ernst and such were post-modernists in the modern era. It is the post modern era that had to deal with there being no rules left to be broken, and I think that begins with Warhol. In the post-postmodern era it is a matter of figuring out what to do, when there are no rules, that still says something.

Hi! I just got laid off from my job today because the company is going under. I've been working on building my own business for a while now, but now I really have a reason to.
I incorporated Leftnode Software several months ago, but I just finalized the site tonight since I got home:
[Leftnode Software](http://leftnode.com)
Right now it's just me and another developer that was laid off. I think we're pretty good at what we do, and we're definitely passionate about it. I know this probably isn't the best place to announce this, but I figured I'd give it a shot. If you or anyone you know needs some good web development at an affordable price, give us a shout! We're located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Remember when Reddit interviewed Adam Savage from Mythbusters? People submitted questions and the most upvoted were read and answered on a video. This is what I'd like to do.
I'll keep the identity of this person to myself for now, but I'm sure that there are a lot of people on reddit who would be very interested in this person, particularly in the economics and political fields due to his focus on free trade and globalization.
My plan so far:
1) Ask AskUsers for advice (done)
2) On a Thursday, submit to Reddit this post:
*"<name>, political and economic figure, and proponent of free trade and globalization, is being interviewed by Reddit - submit your questions here"
2b) Submit posts linking to previous submission to each of Economics, Politics, WorldNews, Business, AmA, Libertarian, /r/Economy, /r/Anarchism (an alternative viewpoint!), Reddit, etc.
3) Resubmit if they don't take hold
4) On the following Monday, videotape this person reading and answering the top questions
5) Edit, upload to Youtube
6) Resubmit to all the reddits that were most popular
What do you think?
Now, although I have been part of the community for a couple of years, I haven't got the hang of the successful submission yet - if a super-submitter were interested in shouldering that part, they'd be welcome!

Yes, as well as by [using an abacus (video)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m6s-ulE6LY).

That thing she's doing with her hand, she's imagining/simulating an abacus. I've want to learn using an abacus just to be able to calculate that fast. Indians/chinese/japanese use abacuses rather than calculators in school, and they're far faster than calculator users. | r/math | comment | r/math | 2009-09-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVVVWnBtRWw0RGdENWZSc0VWY0dnMlBoWUw3NXc5OEVad2FZNkFzR015Uk8ybDdIVUhvalpPdnd5WVpvVUd4T0wxb1BRaUh4blpOS3hKSC1HVk94Tkx4bnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9MNVUzWmRfX3E0ZlJYc0NyanhhbjZaTG1lWW1lVnpzYkdEdG5YM0hvQ2lfbUpoa015NklybU1MVktlWnp3Z3phb2c2UUgxTjdRbk9lZVdDNlBJUmN5eUhUMUFOckh1Y2ZyV0tCbUdwcl9ya21Kd2lXS29xdUxNblNpejhscEJKdE1qM2JneFVUSl9zX3RyRml6QWFTVjdnQXhXOHBRZDIxNmJweWhYTVpzOC0xUXdZVkR4alV5ZHdNX2gwdGtic3Nvemx2bTVXM0twSEZIWlVRVnpQbmc1Y09SQT09 |

I can do the addition almost that fast without moving my hands. The multiplication, much faster (she was given very easy multiplication problems). The decimals are no real complication either.

Calculator users must really suck on average for that to have any hope of being true.
