I don't think it's a form of democracy any more than are breathing or rigged voting. Peace treaties aren't a form of war either.

You are being philosophic asserting that there would be a reality to reflect, in a rather colorful language, while axioms are real enough to not need to pull a strawman from beyond them.

To the contrary, I believe, while it will be helpful in a number of ways, the orthography skills would likely suffer from lack of exercise as a computer takes on the task. Writing helps a lot to have to think about the spelling.

I'm not sure I would understand my own description, let me go again: The transducer sends a modulated signal and receives the reflections. From the time difference information is gained. The signal is steered using beamforming as known

A 40x40 ultrasound array can scan with a much better resolution, look at prenatal imaging for example. The phased array is modulated in the time and space domains, so one cell can substitute many fixed ones. With the speed of sound, the rec

Does the translation come for free? If not, it's probably complicated to reason about.

It is physics to a degree. A doctor is called a physician, e.g. All Biology should be within a frame of physics. The methods might differ, but mathematicians are also concerned to not pare it down to the maths we can handle .

Most of the Greek would come with the Latins. But are you sure Anglo-Saxon doesn't include the Norse already? The name Angeln comes from a region in Germany near the border of Denmark.

Wasn't me, but it's probably because iterative loops are believed to be easier to reason about. OTOH the recursive definition for the Fibonacci or factorial numbers seem easier, for one because they map to the literal explanatio

Yeah, like the diet that accompanies 14 hour sessions sitting before a screen. But I wouldn't take advise from anyone saying 'that that' unless that that that's a stutter ;)

We have no data that muscles cannot hold a specific tension for a long time or that frequent monotonous strains can lead to malformation of the muscle? Sure, lack of blue light might also contribute, but the overall amount of blue in any ar

But it makes sense if half the configuration (or what not you expect from a package) is platform specific, like where do the libraries and resources live, does pip know about the windows registry? I doubt it.

Well, I'd agree but chilly has something to do with cold, whereas goose bumps would rather correlate with warmth from a suddenly increased blood pressure. I'd say thrilled (say frilled) was a good compromise, if it wasn't pre

At least in programming, syntax is structure. A structure can have substructures. If the whole structure has a different meaning than each substructure on its own, then syntax has meaning. Vise-versa, how could you tell the structure of som

The state cannot not offer it's infrastructure to the private providers that are connected to the internet, As you say, It's a problem, alright, but not actually mine, so I wont go anymore into this.

As it stands, the state, universities and other providers might have sponsored a lot of the infrastructure, while fb is just using it, so if they want their own, they should build it and only offer fb. for free.

It's the other way around, let facebook build a separate, proprietary infrastructure for their service. I'm not sure if a real Private Network or a virtual PN would be the better comparison.
