The celebrity deaths have been rough, but I think the political success of racism, hate and fear has been at least equally depressing this year. It's been a bad year.
There's something wrong with that passage, it's rendered abnormally. Matres lectionis seem misplaced, and the passage seems to be cut mistakenly. Though I don't know arabic and don't read the writing all that good.
There's nothing wrong with it, what's before the dot is the first "Aya", what comes after the dot is the name of the "Surah" which happened to be "Al Teen" which translates to "The figs", then the number of the Aya which is "1"
In the study of rings and fields, one works with operations called “addition” and “multiplication”, typically written “+” and “*”, but which needn't have anything to do with number addition or multiplication. “Addition” and “multiplication” have identity elements called “0” and “1”, respectively, but again, they needn't have anything to do with the numbers 0 and 1.
And, in a field of characteristic 2, there's no notion of 2, since “1 + 1” is by definition “0”.
+, × (or ·), 0 and 1 are standard notation in algebra for an arbitrary ring's addition, multiplication, additive identity and multiplicative identity. In that context, 1 + 1 = 0 isn't automatically false. It's just a statement that holds in some rings (e.g., F_2), but not in others (e.g., Z).
I think $10/month is still a reasonable price for 200GB of storage. And most of their customers are like you and probably won't use even close to the full amount, so it's a big win for them.
