But there are some mathematical functions that just approach zero without ever getting there. How is that precise?
Oh, we need to write code that approaches zero bugs, but we'll never get there.
Heck, I do that already.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

UFO simply means Unidentified Flying Object. I see UFOs every night but know they're commercial aircraft on approach to the airport 50 miles away. At night all you see are the navigation, and sometimes landing lights.

New iPhones can be located even when they are turned off thanks to new functionality. And hackers could take advantage of that. Coming soon: malware that affects you before you buy that phone

Perhaps there needs to be a law that defines 'off' such that when a person turns off a device it is fully powered down. The implications of something not being off are frightening - are people being recorded without consent? So yeah, lets get a law on the books and paddle companies that don't respect the off button.

Except that you probably don't want it. You want the clock to run, so it must be powered up. You want to be able to turn it on by hitting that touch button, so the sensor must be powered up. You want to ...
You want it powered down except for this and that and that. The question is what to put into the list of exceptions. Don't be surprised if a lot of people insist on having functions powered up that you would like to be completely turned off, just because it it convenient. Even old-style tower PCs have a battery to ensure that they are never turned completely off. Having to set the computer clock every time you boot the PC is sort of inconvenient.

Right, hence the need to define the term 'off'.
We may need to have 'on ready off' and 'true off'.

Ok, I really don't understand journalism, right?
Quote from the article Also, as the researchers point out in the paper, hackers would need to first hack and jailbreak the iPhone to be able to access the Bluetooth chip and exploit it, potentially making it a bit redundant in most cases.
So the hacker needs physical access to the device & must be able to crack it & jailbreak it to "wirelessly install software while the phone is powered down". Oh, for fox sake!
Here's my debut as journo:
HEADLINE: DISCOVERY: People can drown on the moon during rain storms, even though it doesn't rain on the moon.
Abstract: If a person stationed on the moon sticks their head in a bucket of water for long enough, while a rainstorm is occurring on the Earth, the person may indeed drown.
