If Spotify is trying to effect or create the appearance of a willingness to reach a compromise in response to the recent singer pressure campaign, then it is doing nothing other than signal weakness.

That sounds nice, but it seems optimistic to think that one can please all of the people, even once.

I'm surprised that anyone would even think of suing users who use your instrument over the copyrights of its built in sounds! There must be some kind of implicit right of a performer to use the sounds produced by an instrument, althoug

It is convenient to posit, or "define" a (unique) point at infinity which is the inverse of 0. That way, a lot of propositions work out without extra special cases. It was misleading of the author to just say "pretend infinit

I am unsure what the purpose of this comment is, which apart from making the assertion that Beard is "routinely subjected to horrific misogynistic abuse online" merely consists of copy-pasted snippets of the article. Perhaps we ca

I don't see what the supporting evidence for that conclusion is in the article.

The total time will be dominated by the encoding phase, and the length of that step will heavily depend on the encoder and settings used. A better strategy would simply be to archive the complete decrypted disk image, which can be done in c

What this claims to do is essentially impossible. There are a huge number of little details that require human oversight at each stage in order to achieve a good result. This approach can only work if your standards are not exacting.

Without understanding any of the details whatsoever: if it does provide a simpler explanation of known phenomena only, shouldn't it then be adopted by Occam's Razor?

I think this makes a simple topic needlessly complex. Only the mnemonic "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle" might be worth memorizing, and the rest follows easily. Even that can be replaced by "just go up by fifths sta

Intent is a red herring, especially when the actions of an organization, rather than an individual are being considered. More important are the actions' consequences and the organization's propensity for repeating them.

Geometry is indeed math, and understanding perspective is impossible without it.

How would you teach perspective?

The first section of the exam does not cover specialized, esoteric knowledge. Deficiencies in basic reasoning extend to other areas of knowledge as well, and it seems unconscionable to allow those who suffer from these to teach.

That would be a good question to ask the author, although, to be fair, he only claimed that it feels useful.

Yes, but: why have these characteristics, especially the perspective-incorrect textures (which look terrible, and do not provide an efficiency advantage in the context of a "fantasy console")? Why not just write for the PS1 instea

I object to the wording of this headline, as it elides the steady stream of "content" that has been produced by fans over that same period. The article itself seems to take knowledge of this for granted, by casually mentioning &qu

I think anyone who founds a new field of scientific research may fairly be called a visionary. As for extinction, I did not see any place where he denied that it could be caused naturally. More relevant is whether it is anthropogenic and&#x
