蒙地卡羅法計算 GPS 位置的與目標位置的接近程度

堆很久的「Uncertain⟨T⟩」這篇，先是提到了 GPS 的定位邏輯其實是有問題的，像是這段 code 的邏輯是直接拿目前系統回報的位置判斷距離是否夠近，如果是的話就當作是已經到達： if currentLocation.

People of #Rayleigh and #Wickford:

Your Member of Parliament yesterday *represented you* by stating that the #ECHR, guaranteeing freedom from slavery and torture, the rights to life and fair trials, so horrifically violated during WW2 and fought for by many, are *now out of date* and should be renegotiated by the United Kingdom in favour of more limited #HumanRights.

Is this your view?

Are you willing to espouse this view aloud in, say, Wickford Memorial Park?

"The [European] Convention [on Human Rights] was drafted [...] in the aftermath of the horror of the Second World War, but over 70 years ago. And it's now clearly been overtaken by events"
