There are people who harvest wild food, yes. I think you need to understand that just our national forests are almost twice the size of the entirety of Sweden. Then there are state forests, national parks, and state parks. Texas alone is 50% larger than Sweden, and Alaska is 3x larger than Texas.
Ok. I initially responded that I didn’t even read your response, because I didn’t, and I just asked again if you are OK. And I really meant it.
But that seemed rude, so I deleted it, and I read your comment. I’m going to skip over the earlier parts and move to the end of your comment.
Ok! That makes me feel better. If you’re just mixing it up and having fun arguing on the internet, I get it. You’ve got time and you’re having fun. That’s cool, man. It just comes off a little weird to people, I feel.
I, while I respect what you’re saying, don’t want to spend time arguing the point. If I could, I would just like to explain to you what my understanding of the situation is, and then, if you disagree, I’ll respect that.
Binary search is effective for many things. However: imagine a camera on a blank white wall that was recorded for 24 hours.
At some point during that 24 hours, two people crossed in front of the wall that was being recorded, and one punched the other and then ran out of frame, and the other person ran after them out of frame. The entire exchange was on screen for only a few seconds. The wall was completely unchanged by the encounter.
In that very particular instance, rare as it might seem, binary search will not be more efficient for locating the footage. Does that make sense?
Ok, fair enough. So you understand in that unusual circumstance where the static image remains provably unchanged, it would make binary search ineffective, but I take your point: most real-world events will create a change in the static image, even if it seems minor (even in ways a human might not notice), which would then allow the effective use of binary search.
Thanks for taking a second to talk it out with me.
I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...
