I don't think anything like that will ever happen as long as you can fly your own Cessna. There's also nothing in your system (as stated) that will actually enforce the drones to do that. Even assuming you outlaw all the other dro

First, math (linear algebra in particular) is not at all about equations. The format you said is very limiting, because most of the important things in linear algebra are not equations: vector spaces, basis, norms, orthogonality, diagonaliz

Except for perhaps psychotherapy^, there's nothing there that would be out of place if someone said it, say, in Russian (I can translate, if you wish). In particular, there's about 140,000 hits for "emotional vampirism"

Thanks for the answer! So, the book is really three books. How do you get around actually proving things?

Since the edit time has lapsed, I want to clarify that the OP has originally referred to the author as "he", but has edited his post when it was specified to them (good!). This is a nontrivial point; OP's opinions are affecte

To add to your point, the steps one needs to take because the perfectly normal content of personal communication are known to be forcibly examined and be a potential for either detainment or denial of entry are non-feelings.

First, it's "she", not "he". If you don't care about the gender of the author (inferrable from the name), write "they". Secondly, no, the travel has not been the same even in the post-9/11 world.

It seems like you're one of the white-real-Americans the author wrote about. You are right, the article is about feelings (although not only that). You are wrong in that it lacks substance. Feeling dehumanized is a feeling. Saying that

That would be a bad example of a "punitive" fine, not in small part due to the PR efforts of the company being sued and the trigger-happy media. The final verdict for the case was $600K in punitive damages, which McDonalds appeale

As a side note, this is a very true statement about mathematics, which, unfortunately, doesn't hold for a plethora of texts (from elementary to the graduate level) which do, in fact, start with axioms. To that end, even starting with d

To back up the parent, unfortunately, the audience is not always qualified to judge the quality of your work - for the simple reason that they have no idea what they are missing! What they are missing from your explanation is "why"
