This is straight from Saussure, and then Chomsky. You can read his first course in linguistics [1]. It was highly disputed in the 1800s. I'm not an expert, but: > Uh, what? How do you think we got more than one language in the first

Language is a social creature, you can't have language without society and social interactions, if you're not able to communicate with spoken word you simply can't work as effectively with others. Especially if you can't

Exactly: put quite simply the best mitigation measure is a mask, since it prevents most of the virus from getting into the air--the virus's primary medium of transmission. Even simpler--don't wear a mask for yourself, but for othe

If you're below 50 your chances of dying after contracting the virus are similar to that of being in a car accident if you got in a car over the course of one year (I think a car accident is higher). https://www.worldometers

Inflammation is an immune response, so it is required to keep foreign agents from spreading, essentially. My understanding is that immune cells can become damaged, when this happens they malfunction and inflame the system when it doesn&#x27

Yeah I think you have to stem the tide to avoiding the "unpaid" shills. I've even seen people who shill in one direction just to be accepted by a community so they can troll them. I hypothesize you could detect this type of s

by solinent 7y ago
Paid shills tend to have a strange effect where they polarize people in the other direction than intended since their arguments are not always well founded and honest, and they will always suffer from some form of groupthink. It's a sl

Static HTML is also very secure. My personal sites are always static, it keeps server costs low and everything gets cached.

I've looked into this, and there's no great way to do so, becuase the concept of species really just means large morphological changes. We assume everything is taxonomized (a tree), but in reality there is no tree--sometimes there

It's not in their best interest time-wise, unless they seek to employ you afterwords. Strangely, I've always gotten feedback, or at least "we decided not to continue", which is better than nothing.

It's just semantics: what you call the generalized cross product, I call the cross product. We used to think as negative numbers being a generalization of the integers, so that's some food for thought. I'm sure once quantum m

This is incorrect, if you read Spivak, you can define and (n-1)-ary product which generalizes the cross product. You give it (n-1) vectors and it gives you a vector orthogonal to all of them. Whether you call it the cross product or not is

by solinent 7y ago
The exterior/wedge product is actually very closely related to the cross product, and works to generalize the cross product to n dimensions. You can read Spivak or Munkres, "Calculus on Manifolds" and "Analysis on Manifo
