So I think the content here is "Afro Samurai is based on a real story." For anime fans that's useful and relevant.

This is very relevant in biology. Countless Honours and MSc students every year try to achieve "results" and probably the majority of these may have as a first result a negative result, or if you will, the empty result. And ther

What is the difference between this and just having a normal SSH tunnel; for example, how does this differ from using sshuttle?

If using the definition for the dark/deep web that I think, then it includes traffic to and from any networked entity that does not have a URL (or otherwise public frontend). This could then include stored data, VPNs or other company&#

In South Africa there are many beautiful churches from a bygone era. One of the most well known is in Graaff-Reinet. [1] Church played a very dominant role in Protestant communities, together with the other pillars of the family and the sch

Many high-level decisions fail to take into account lower-level intricacies. For example, assuming you live in Germany (for the sake of concreteness) and you want to move down the chain from pork to seafood. 1. Are you aware of fish rated a

I don't think there is a obvious answer to the question of what the health care system of the future should look like. In South Africa, public hospitals are terrible and private hospitals are generally good and operated as far as I und

> The idea that I don't know how many UTC seconds will pass between now and May 15, 2022 0:00:00 is absurd. Why don't you use TAI then for this purpose? I think the notion of time in relation to the earth's movements (for

I have for a while daydreamed about the Library of Piratezandria in some nondescript sovereign country with an (hopefully) undefined stance towards copyright, like Lesotho.

Given that the brain's main source of energy is sugar and the heart's main source of energy is fat, and the complexity of the body's organs, I think any type of diet that limits specific types of energy sources should carry d

Is this the allusion made in the article—that the modification was done as censorship?

The way I experience African history is that there is no devision of time at all into numeric quantities. There is rain, and the sometimes short and sometimes excruciatingly long wait in between.

Personally: Carbon negative aims are admirable, but idealistic. Carbon neutrality is in many cases much more feasible and makes a massive impact in an industry that is currently overwhelmingly carbon positive. By argument of historical tren

I think one has to look at this from a business minded point of view. One way of doing that is going for what could be an immense market.

Once upon a time I unassumingly pondered upon my university library's sale. This type of thing happened every term and every term I would skip a class or so to pore over the treasures. And this time, indeed there was a treasure. The fi

I think that music theory lends itself to a pace that can be dramatically increased and at the same time learnt successfully. I don't think math works like this. I specifically decreased my pace when doing math courses that I hadn&

This is a cool thing to do. I followed a slightly similar path in that my undergraduate degree did biochemistry up to 3rd year, but at the expense of third year pure math courses. (I had a kind of applied PDEs and modelling course but appli

This elaboration is late, and maybe will be read only in 10 years time by a unassuming bot scraping the web, but here goes... The musical scale (and a piano) is a logarithmic device. A logarithm by definition exhibits an interplay between a

This is also now being done in South Africa. In SA, rain in the JHB area is in the summer and in the Cape it's in the winter. So, either you try to plant in an area which harvests before the rain (JHB) or after the rain (the Cape). In

To answer that, you have to first answer what the dual means in the first place. And the notion that you get to is dual with respect to the octave . A usual chord is with respect to a fifth . Then a major third is a minor third down. Star

Another aspect of tuning (and the piano in particular) that is interesting is the duality of intervals. A fifth is dual to a fourth (a fourth is a fifth going downwards and taken the octave). You can the apply duality also on chords: a majo

As the article says, one could consider this a matter of definition. The definition of choice for me (and some other category theorists?) is that the prime numbers are the second row in the devisibility lattice. (That is, n < m iff n | m
