Not the OP, but "male toxicity" does not imply that men have an exclusivity on toxicity. If anything, it implicitly suggests the opposite. Otherwise the "male" adjective wouldn't be necessary.

Thanks. This is what I was looking for when I originally posed the question. So, if I understood you correctly, the restriction of Lorentz symmetry on the Hamiltonian in turn requires QFT creation and annihilation operators to commute/

Perhaps it has more to do with us (i.e. humans) not having a deep understanding of mental health treatment? I mean, we really don't understand the mind very well at all. It's not just a clinical understanding either. We culturally

Had to look up "Schelling point", so apologies if I'm not fully grasping what you mean by it. However, "organized around ethnic, cultural, and/or linguistic grounds" seems like another way of saying "socia

Thanks for the time to write that out. It was very insightful for this armchair physicist.

I don't think it's a fair comparison. When you select your charity Amazon Smile directly says: "We will reach out to the organization you select to ensure it is ready to accept donations from Amazon." Furthermore, you ar

More practical, yes. However, I believe the original poster's intent was that neither one is a "preferred" implementation from the perspective of the concept itself. There's no necessary tie between a Turing machine and

You are correct. It is precisely this ability to map seemingly arbitrary and meaningless physical manifestations of turning machines to the abstract that provides the concept so much power. By being able to provably map the implementation t

That's an odd definition of chaotic systems you are using. It's not so much that chaotic systems can not be calculated but instead that enough precision of starting conditions can't be obtained to ensure an accurate result (f

Not to mention the fact that "is better than" is almost certainly not transitive for anything beyond the most simplistic definition of "better".

A third party guarantor is different from THE third party guarantor though, no? I only follow blockchain/ICO events from the peripheries so I'm sorry if I'm grossly misunderstanding.

The latter. I don't even know if I'd consider it a spoiler at all. Kind of like saying Harry Potter is a wizard.

I've never once heard Atlanta referred to as "Tree City USA". Atlanta also is not listed in the Arbor Day Foundation's "Tree Cities USA" list. I believe you're thinking of "city in a forest". Atl

Reminds me of a bug we encountered building mobile devices. Turns out if a certain instruction was executed on a page boundary the CPU would lock up (the gist of the issue anyway, might have had to do with being in an elevated mode as well)

Why do you add "long monologue" to your counter example? I don't think adding that modifier is a fair equivalence. And I'll add a counter-point: rm -rf stories, things like piping /dev/random to speakers or the

I believe a distinction could be made around the second law of thermodynamics being emergent rather than, well, fundamental. Put another way: the second law of thermodynamics is not required to fully describe a universe that acts like ours
