But isn't that a good trait in law enforcement if through experience gained on the street they can tell the difference between 'good' and 'bad' people, as defined by whether they're breaking the law or not? Then they focus their time on cases most likely needing attention?
If they profiled only on race or on class that is obviously bad. And I imagine in some areas there's a correlation between race or class with crime.
But in general I'd expect the police to develop good judgement in being able to read people on sight using whatever cues they can pick up on.
I never get 'harassed' by the police nowadays, but as a middle class white teenager I was being stopped all the time, usually because they could tell from body language or how and where I was driving that I was up to something. Usually they were dead right and usually it was alcohol related.
You say the outside observer sees that it takes forever for something falling in to hit the event horizon...
To make sure I understand, would it be correct to say that relative to us, the time dilation of any massive collapsing star means that it would never even collapse to a black hole in the first place because it would take infinitely long, relative to us(?)
"The digits of every rational number repeat after some finite number
of digits, so the "period" of every rational number is finite.
However, there is no upper bound on the period of rational numbers,
i.e., the periods are all finite, but there is no largest period.
Thus, in a manner of speaking, the least common multiple of this set
of strictly finite things is infinite."
Got lost here, what is the LCM of this set; which set?
this set (the set of periods of decimal expansions of rationals) seems to be oddly defined to no purpose.
Consider the set of positive integers. It has the same property described (in fact, it has all the same properties, since it's the same set). Why go to all the trouble of defining Z+ as "the set of periods of decimal expansions of rationals", which is harder to parse?
