If this statement is true "But, you say, there’s a one at the end that string of zeroes. No, there isn’t, because the string of 9s doesn’t end."

Then the same can be said for 0.000000...1 you never reach the 1 at the end therefore you haven't really done the subtraction properly. To put it your way "the string of 0s [before the one] doesn't end."

It's funny when people quote text and render it incorrect..."pictured right".....uh wait :D

Although it's also kind of silly for writers/publishers who use the web to associate any such directionality with their articles. What happens in a few months when the website gets a face lift? I'd hate to be the guy that has to go through all the content and replace "pictured right" with "pictured left". Why not just say "pictured here" to start with?

@su.wei

Did you seriously just say this??
"maybe tuna are being overfished, but not salmon/halibut etc here in AK."

Why do you suppose tuna are being overfished? Do you honestly think that salmon/halibut won't end up in the same category?

Secondly, obviously if all the fishermen are displaced the other business will be as well. It's not as if when the fishermen leave and go elsewhere their requirement for other services simply completely disappear.

@ Michael W
"2)Enforce ban with deck guns, torpedoes."

How would you enforce a ban on weapons without using uh....weapons?

@ su wei
"no, if we can’t fish my hometown would be nonexistent. "

Move to where there is work/retrain. Mining towns die, farms die, people move....why should fishermen (fisher people...) be any different?

Or go ahead and fish until there's nothing left to catch, I'm sure that'll work out well for you in the long run.

@Avarana
"The correct path is adequate and measured fishing."

Agreed. If that means there isn't enough to keep all the current fishermen employed then I guess they'll be looking for other jobs.

Good/high times come in all industries, automobiles, homes, boat building, utilities, farming, telecom, etc. Fishermen aren't unique, they just seem to be less adaptable than others.
