But then what is the difference between that and any NGO?

See my comment below: in usual terms, in Europe “public” means technically “supported by taxes” -which is why most “public” media is most of the time pro-government (bar inertia).

Honest question: apart from the name ("Public BC"), what makes it "public" in the US if most of its income is private?

I now realize (sorry) that my European mindset has tricked me, most likely. The term is very loaded here towards the meaning I gave it. You are probably right. My apologies.

That is not what "public" means in ordinary language. Public is intended to mean "supported by taxes". Support by donations is always dependent on the largest donor.

Exactly. Most of the dot-com start-ups were built fast (faster than many other things)...

Well, you cannot drink alcohol if you are less than 21 in the USA, but you can vote.

So there is a moral imperative to abort fetuses with Down's syndrome? Wow, that is certainly difficult to explain. Now abortion has become a moral imperative in some cases...

Because they no longer have real agency. They are no longer sane persons and the arguments a sane person makes do not apply to them. Why do (usually) wives stay in an abusive marriage? Because they are very ill and they do not think adequat

After developing a wrist pain which made moving my right-hand thumb ache, I discovered the usefulness of reprogramming the home keys to tap (letter) and hold (shift-Ctrl-Alt) on my Ergodox. Also, I shifted Space and Return to the left thumb

IIRC Ecclestone suggested getting rid of qualifiers and just putting the F1 cars n the inverse order of their last race. This idea was in order to get more overtakes (the best parts of F1 races). I think it would be great.

Wow this is a huge caveat: a guarantee that they are using data and not complying with GDPR.

Well, the thing is… when you use a borrowed term from a dead language, in writing, it really sounds wrong to cultivated ears. I really had to double-check that sentence to see if I had parsed it wrongly. Not bragging, just saying. They cann

Just trying to help: "i.e." stands for "id est", which means "that is". In your text, you should rather say "e.g." (exempli gratia), which means "for instance", "for example".

This answer is probably a bit convoluted and possible erroneous. Assume the Earth has radius 2. Use coordinates (t,z) to denote “longitude” and “latitude from the North pole”. Thus (0,0) is the North Pole, (0, pi/2) is the Greenwich eq

OK, interesting take which I had not realized: the problem is also different because there is a limited amount of cash, I now realize. However, the idea that “the mean distribution (the uniform, in this case)” needs to be near the N-th step

Yes, but the parent comment is trying to say "imagine the world would only be made up of topological spaces and continuous maps". Then the retraction principle would not hold.

The need to emphasize each term. Talking heads might be boring, but lecterns and tables are useful because unless you are walking, modt of the time your hands should be still.

As a professor myself, your gratitude is more than enough. In some way, your great success is a bit of ours, and that is what makes our success great too: integration. I would not worry but a mail some time is very welcome indeed.
