Surely you understand you were being challenged on the existence of an established theoretical solution, not on the existence of a literal link to Wikipedia specifically? Look to the straw man in your own eye.

Not sure whether you're being sarcastic, but in case you are: The internet, including this forum, is chock-full of people making useless comments like "well I like it" or "it works for me", just asserting their view

Yes, and so is asymptotic analysis and the associated big-O notation.

I wish the parent had taken the time and effort to actually make his point, instead of leaving an easily misunderstood, single-word non-comment in the hope of some easy fake internet points. This is how forums degrade.

At a quick first read, this came across as not much more than just a list of lesser-known siblings of famous classical mythological figures. The author mentions Jung and sibling rivalries in one sentence at the end, but doesn't really

You're trying to explain current Japanese demographics with a weird rant about WW2 without mentioning the subsequent economic miracle and population growth? The population of Japan was not far off doubling from 1945 to 2010, and in ca

So many internet know-it-alls thinking they'll disprove the entire article all at once with their one-sentence intellectual zinger, and then we'll all bow down and praise them for their great cleverness. I despair of internet for

Right. I've seen some zoos that already have a little "farm" section showing off some local heritage livestock breeds. I'd expect that sort of thing to take right off if it started to look like there was real risk of e

I'm afraid it is most evident that you do not see. Forget trying to guess what I might or might not think about aerodynamics. Just see if you can follow the following recap of the conversation: 1) anvandare says aeroplanes can fly up

It is a lazy gotcha attempt. It is a lazy attempt at gotcha-ing someone who believes angle of attack ISN'T important. Unless you think a plane flying upside-down is somehow evidence AGAINST the importance of angle-of-attack? Again: t

> If you are asserting that the angle of attack does not affect the lift, you are wrong. I am certainly not asserting that, and I'm baffled how you could have formed the impression that I was. You appeared to be attempting to rebut

Different values of "we" going on here. "We" know how heavier-than-air flight works in the sense that it is known to science. "We" in the comments don't know, because most of us here have at most a Bache

I'm not immediately convinced that "effectively changing the shape" is a coherent idea. The lift effect either crucially depends on the actual, unchanging shape of the aerofoil or it doesn't. Flying upside-down proves

> Saying we should wait until we get data from North Korea to judge whether or not it's a global problem isn't restraint. It's being intentionally obtuse. That's probably why no-one is saying that. Try to resist the

Their journalism is usually quite sound, precisely because they take a restrained and level-headed approach to their subjects, rather than rushing to cry wolf about possible worst-case scenarios like people in the vast majority of online fo

No, but there might be reason to doubt the translation on the basis that the intersection of the skillsets "fluent in Russian" and "total command of the relevant computer science material" might not have many people. For

I think it's valuable to ask some questions about the costs and unforseen second-order effects of throwing out all our traditional ideas of respect and status. It's pretty reductive to characterise this as saying people should &q

I didn't downvote you, but I can guess why you might have been downvoted. Your comment is a) off-topic in a thread about automation, and b) presumptuous to the point of arrogance in assuming that your preferred way of aligning the mir

I can see that small businesses aren't in a great position to negotiate with large businesses. But if there were really a substantial shortage, you wouldn't have to engage in high-risk, high-stakes negotiation to get a better rat

To me, the question still stands: if people refuse to pay more for the service, then in what sense is there a shortage of the service? Can you expand on what you mean by "supply side economics breaking down"?

I can't tell what point you imagine you're making. That quote appears to just be a definition of "established place of business".

Offhand accusations of extremely serious charges like corruption breed lazy cynicism. It's not only fair but a good idea to ask people to support their claims: a little bit of intellectual rigor could make the difference between a val

IANAL, I can only go by what the article is saying. The article explicitly says "a U.S. corporation resides only in its state of incorporation". "Residency" in this sense is evidently not the same as "having an est
