You are, of course, free to do what you wish with your time. But I have to ask, why does this random paper attract you? If you had interest in rigorous physics before now, what steps have you taken towards that? Your comment just seems far

Standard reminder: The term "2 nanometer" or alternatively "20 angstrom" (a term used by Intel) has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. It is a

You'd have to build the rocket on the island, or transport the rocket to the island for launch. Neither is impossible, but it's a lot easier to build and launch from the mainland.

Surely the fact that they did all the high-resource languages first and are only now getting round to the less-popular ones demonstrates that that is not, in fact, the case?

That doesn't make the criticism invalid - even if the deaths are weighted by population, choosing the median is far more likely to give a non-zero value for larger countries.

Using the median surely goes too far the other way though, discounting the fact that the US is far larger than any of those countries except Russia. Of course the US is less likely to have shooting-free years, it's far bigger. Other wa
