That's... Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a KV store. It's a hashmap on the network.

Doing business and registering a company (a separate legal person) are orthogonal concepts that are specific to local legislation. You can do business as a private individual, and various "company" forms in various countries are n

No, a single person individual can register. Doing business is orthogonal to being a company , and depending on your country, some "company" forms are just VAT filing registrations for an individual itself with no independent l

Going through hoops usually refer to an excessive effort. Having to go through between zero (it you have needed the number before) and one free forms from a standard entity to get a widely recognized identifier used for many things is objec

Validation issues happen all the time for subsidiaries when the parent company likes to own/manage things. Always fun when e.g. EV certificate validation ( sigh windows update stuff) calls the parent company reception and asks for the

I haven't tried the specific flow for private individuals (seems to just be a radio button), but I do recall getting DUNS numbers as just filling in an online form with name and location and getting the number by mail, without any hoop

multiple-input, multiple-output was horribly generic to begin with. Terms like multipath propagation and spatial multiplexing will do just fine.

I don't think your experience here is weird - just seems like you had a good environment for practicing a bit with your wife, which I think is more important than any other aspect of the learning methodology. Now, nitpickers might argu

Private tutoring for 1 hour, 3 times a week at the current rates offered by local freelancers where I live would be ballpark 1000 USD per month for a long time. If you start nitpicking about quality and put in some more serious hours I woul

No, private tutors are definitely better but they are no silver bullet. Having a great private tutors often and long enough to exercise sporadic conversation and gain confidence in language use - a class a few times a week at least - is als

I have a bit of a different perspective. Sure, Duolingo is suboptimal and won't teach you a language on its own, but I'd say that language classes themselves is no better. Specifically, I consider the fundamental missing piece to

To be clear, a derivative work is copyright of the one creating the derivative, not the original author. The question is whether creating the derivative work of that specific transformative nature is allowed. Unlike assets taken verbatim, t

Note that reverse engineering does not have to be clean room, poking at hardware without ever seeing any software. In many places, poking at the proprietary software, decompiling it, tracing it, and so forth is fine despite what unenforca

Being active doesn't matter, the copyright holders still hold the copyright. How much they profit off the stolen portion is also questionable, and open source licenses weren't meant to extort money but to grant us rights to the co

Our timeline is not an ordered series of preconditions followed by inevitabilities. It does not hold that if some other civilization says "B", it must first have said "A" and follow by "C". RF equipment is not

The prevalence of the 21 cm wavelength is something they would likely discover should they be in a part of the universe similar to ours. What I find laughable is the means of trying to communicate this wavelength and using it as a means t

That's the "discovery by another civilization" part, so yes.

The period you're describing is that of old quantum theory, which was hugely inconsistent and predates our theories of modern quantum mechanics which is post 1925 or so. The inventor of the arc converter was 18 at the time radio waves

Indeed. Say, maybe a civilization didn't start out with trying to build the world of particles of progressively finer size, but started directly with a model of fields, waves and charges and therefore never had a concept of a discrete

Making the data fault tolerant to the discovery by another civilization, its collapse and later rediscovery by another civilization seems a bit of a stretch goal. :)

There is no relation between the ability to communicate and a shared understanding of our concept of quantum transitions - case in point, our invention of the technology we use to communicate with deep space far predates us learning these c

I sarcastically referenced the plaque itself, which is a convenient disc of a known size to anyone observing the drawing, unlike the space craft or physics riddles. Using quantum transitions is quite ridiculous in my opinion due to requirin
