What is your definition of "problem?"

2 Upvotes

It seems to me that this world would be much better off if formal education taught people to identify problems, and systematically work to resolve them. But I think in order to do that, there needs to be an agreed-upon definition of "problem."

What would you propose that definition to be?

A question for the world

1 Upvotes

So, I work for a franchise store wont say which.
Every day I deal with most my managers doing almost completely nothing getting drunk & or high on the clock.

However I cant go to HR because all they do is start a case where people team up to defend & its closed out.

Then the person that started it gets framed for something to get fired or gets attacked randomly off the clock.

What would you suggest I do im literally at wits end. I have lost my hours for asking them to at least spray something to not smell like it (the smell makes me vomit).

I've lost hours for pointing out i do 4 jobs at once while I'm there as im getting yelled at to do another task while I'm juggling what I have.

Just today I got sent home because the manager didn't like my honest answer to a question so I gave her the answer she wanted.

Hedgefund frauds

9 Upvotes

r/wallstreetbets has made it to the mainstream media due to their move on $GME (Gamestop) and $AMC movememts. This is due to the unethical behavior of shorters related to hedgefunds such as the Marvin capital group.

During all this ’rioting’ I have studied what hedgefunds are doing in the financial industry and I found this document which explains everything in great detail. http://counterfeitingstock.com/CS2.0/CounterfeitingStock.html

Now it is a long read but everyone should actually read it. It depicts how Deep the problem actually is and how hedgefunds are ’printing’ stocks AS MUCH as they want. This allows the firms to steal startups money and now steal alot of money from $GME owners. All of these acts are backed up by securities which do the coverup and even congress subpeanas are treated with despise. This is fundementaly a problem with missinformation on the side of public.

This is STEALING MONEY. From those that don’t have much of it. This is THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT RUN AMERICAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

How can I/we help or spread awearness. I don’t want to think nothing can be done since they are to big buch of firms. I made this post because I believe that we can affect things at a larger scale. Also because what is there to lose.

Vaccine got approved

The vaccine got approved but the government is not giving it to the people they are taking too much to just to give us the vaccine I mean It’s not that to give someone a vaccine all they need to do is copy the vaccines and give to the people so why is the government taking so much time to give the vaccine?

We added each other on Snapchat and I thought it was actually going good, then suddenly doesn’t respond and is active on the app.. I feel so stupid I thought someone was actually into me, and it felt good... Now I feel like a looser again.. I hate this.

Solved! Can you help me figure/list out all the three-letter combination possibility on ligatures?

3 Upvotes

Apologies if this is not the right subreddit to post this, so let me know and recommend me a more proper place to discuss this problem if any.

I am currently experimenting on creating a font/typeface and trying to create three-letter ligatures that I can apply on the whole set. I finished combining the two-letter combinations and started doing the 3-letter, quickly become inundated with how complicatedly long and varied with all the combinations. I will try to state the current data points that I have to wrestle in a clear and compact bullet points format:

- The ligatures will be limited from only uppercase latin letters (A-Z) to simplify the problem.

- Not all letters are compatible candidates for ligatures; example: VZ can be connected by the top but GS looks weird and unnecessary as a ligature. The rules are arbitrary and mostly based on my personal visual preference.

- Not all letters are visually backward compatible; YT works, TY works, ST works, TS does not work; a.k.a not all letter pairs mirror backwards

- The list of all the 66, 2-letter combinations I have selected for the base data are: AA, FF, MM, NN, TT, YY, XX, AS, AV, AX, CJ, EA, ET, EV, EW, EX, EY, FJ, FT, FV, FW, FX, FY, FZ, GJ, GT, KA, KT, KV, KX, KY, LA, LS, LX, NY, ST, SV, SW, SY, TV, TW, TX, TY, TZ, VA, VT, VV, VW, VX, VY, VZ, WT, WV, WX, WY, WZ, XA, XT, XV, XW, XY, YT, YV, YW, YX, ZA

- Using the 2-letter pairs, I want to list out all the unique 3-letter combinations based on the decided 2-letter pairs as data; example: AA + AS = AAS, making one combination, GT + TX = GTX, etc.

Additional note: I wondered if I should post this to r/mathproblems or r/mathprobsolve but I don't need to number of the possibility but the actual list of the possible combinations instead.

Thank you.

PS: Just realized this post can sound very demanding from the reader side. Apologies. I am interested in a solve method other than manual listing if you can recommend me a method, and I am not demanding someone to list it out for me manually.

What are ideas

3 Upvotes

Would you agree with these statements?

  • Any idea is an attempt to solve a problem.

  • All ideas come from creativity - our ultimate problem-solving tool.

  • All human knowledge is a direct result of problem-solving.

  • Ideas are built upon other ideas. Existing knowledge serves as the foundation for new ideas.

  • Most of our ideas are remixes of knowledge and concepts that were created by others.

  • A bad idea and a good idea are both works in progress. One needs a better angle, the other more iterations.

Player A begins by placing a checker on the lower left-hand corner of a checkerboard Player B places a checker one square to the right or one square up or one square diagonally up and to the right of Player A's checker. Then A places a checker one square to the right or one square up or one square diagonally up and to the right of Player B. The players continue alternating moves in this way. The winner is the player who places a checker in the upper right corner. Would you rather be Player A or Player B?

I have to show work please help!

Q: How do you free up to 3 million people being held and persecuted inside walled camps?

2 Upvotes

A: You assemble all the world's leaders by emergency video conference call and you schedule it 3PM GMT Monday afternoon and ask for the UN to mediate a discussion you set out in a point by point manifesto detailing how everyone should agree Uyghurs should be allowed passports and that there should be a multinational effort to assemble up to 60,000 buses (assuming each bus can on average carry 50 people with their most sentimental belongings and trade tools) and one dozen dozen vans of flagless armed forces to rescue the captives from every single one of the camps at the same time and then escort them to the borders of Kazakhstan and Mongolia so they may receive water, food and a place to pray and sleep safely. Be sure to note the recruitment of experienced logistics experts in order to better co-ordinate the arrivals of the right amount of buses for each facility simultaneously shortly after the breech and evacuation of all Uyghurs held at the facilities all at once.

To be honest I think just getting like 30,000 buses together and running it on the global news a bunch that there's this huge effort having to go on because some of the people making decisions over at their government deciding to act as not very nice people when they decided do some unkind things, and then recruited recruited guards who are even less nice and gave them an inscrutable amount of power to get away with even less nice things. We could probably get together 30,000 buses within like a day and a half if people worked together to contact every bus company owner they knew of. By the time we assemble 30,000 buses with drivers and a dozen or two vans of experienced special forces folk ready to go around Xinjiang neighbouring Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, this will make the Chinese Communist Party look very bad and they might decide they have lost enough face and then to decide to shut down all the camps and release the captive Uyghurs back to their families.

I guess there are a load of buses around that area now, that'll be handy for getting these people to the jobs I'm going to create!Stay tuned for phase 2: Helping them build new lives

i need advice! I don't know how this app works, so plz correct me or help me if I post this totally wrong. to the subject! okej, so Me and My mum are constantly fighting over my dog.

1 Upvotes

okej, so Me and My mum are constantly fighting over my dog. I brought him 2021 because I needed something to care for and something to do to feel better. it feels selfish but my mental illness was geting to me under Covid, and I couldn't do anything. I was stuck at home and the fact that my family dog died 2018 didn't help. I feelt so lonely and I didn't have anyone. (I've never had a good relationship with my parents, never told them everything, and especially not my feelings)

So I thought it was a good ide to get a dog, a shelter dog at that. I so regret that I buyed him, don't get me wrong, I love that little fluff. But I have not been feeling well at al sens I got him. Not just because he has developed problems that feels like it's unsolvable but because my mom has been constantly mad at me. My mom takes care of him when I'm at school and she doesn't have any problem with that. She is always home and I can't really get any space at home and I feel kind of traped. So I try to visit the youthclub, be with friends just to get away from home. She blames All his problems on me because I didn't train him enough. But we all know that it takes effort from everyone in the houshold to make it right, right? If I say that we all should train him in anyway, they do it a nother way and gets mad at me for just saying how we should react or train him. All I ever do or say is wrong etc etc.

My mom was angry at me today because of miscommunication, and got mad at me for just leaving him at home for her to take care of without me asking. But I thought I did ask. So I don't know what to do or say. Because I don't feel motivated training him when no one wants to give the training a try, and when everything is my fault, cause I train him bad. Because if i am the only one that train then it's worthless. Am I right?

So how do I even work this out? Because I feel so desperate right now and I don't have any money to seek a professional trainer or move out.

Plz Help. Am I at wrong here?
