A fruit vendor receives a shipment of 500 apples. It is known that for every bad apple in a bunch, the entire bunch spoils. The apples are packed into bunches of 10. After inspecting the shipment, the vendor finds that 5% of the apples are bad.
How many bunches of apples will spoil due to bad apples?
And 3 to 25 bunches is between 30 and 250 apples gone bad, so that A few bad apples could spoill half of the apples, and there you have the problem with the police force, especially of the USA where officially it’s not a crime to drive a car whilst having dark skin tone but you can definitely still be summarily executed for it.
Yes, i got it, but it depends from the distribution. If there is correlation on where the bad apples appears (e.g. for cultural or socio economic conditions), it is more likely that we are close to the case of 3 bunches (that is 30 apples, just 5 more than the “original” apples)
If we stop this parallelism (that is what I disagree with) and we move to the actual issue with the police, i think it’s a problem with all power positions: all positions that come with power (no matter how small) attract certain kind of people.
This is true from the folks that check tickets in public transportation to teachers. Police is worse because there is a lot of unchecked power and close to no accountability
The solution is not how to do bin packing of the bad apples, the solution is reducing the power, increasing accountability and add checks (e.g. while body cam have some privacy implications that i don’t like, it’s a step in that direction)
AMAB?
Just a few bad apples.
Screw you apples, I’m gonna go hang with the mushrooms.

between 3 and 25, depending from the distribution… And your point is? 🤷

You’re very right.
You mathnificent bastard.
How many?
It’s complex.
Don’t be so hyperbolic
