I agree, it is used in place of meat, but I think that it is not usually intended to mimic meat. For example, I think that few people would claim you could use tofu as a drop-in recipe replacement without affecting flavor, whereas meat

> * Ultra-processed plant-based meat replacement There, fixed that for you. I think that it's also literally all plant-based meat replacers (meaning products intended to mimic meat, rather than just replacing meat with plants).

In case you missed the intentional misspelling, rather than are just going along with the joke: the word used was 'udder' (a cow's teats) rather than 'utter'.

I believe that, (possibly only) in the early days, it offered to add any imported music to your library, which I think it indeed did by converting to AAC and putting in a directory structure of its choosing.

Presumably there's not much logical obstruction to all human-understandable math eventually being formalized, although the willingness and ability to commit the requisite enormous amount of time will probably be insurmountable. But d

I'd call P = NP computer science rather than math, but perhaps it's reasonable to call it sufficiently on the theoretical side of CS that it really is math.

For what it's worth, it's not a problem with multiple kinds of multiplication (multiplication by a scalar can be viewed as multiplication by a specific kind of matrix), but with the idea that one can cancel in a multiplication. S

I'd way rather read a translation in which the author themselves has played a part, and at least nominally signed off on it, than one done on the fly with even less than usual guarantee of its correctness. (I agree that authors should

It seems to me like we're saying the same thing. I'm saying that there is a practical bias, as in, it's there in the real world whether we like it or not, that can prevent some papers from appearing just because of limitation

Depending on your mathematical background, it may be easier to get a grasp on Tannaka duality, of which I assume, but don't know, this may usefully be viewed as a (possibly too) vast generalization. https://en.wikipedia.org&

That's only for individual usage, which, I assume, is small potatoes compared to institutional usage. No major research institution is going to use piracy as an institutional policy, and neither is it going to boycott Springer, since a
