Also, in Chinese, the logogram might change depending on the gender: 他/她, he/she, also part of his/her

In this particular case, only "está" (instead of "es") is correct. Otherwise it means that the person is an active person, instead of meaning that at the present period of time, th…

I am pretty sure that it was meant "unintentionally". I would say that nobody has killed another person with a shovel unintentionally since shovels exist (maybe injure). OK maybe o…

The first one is just the binary sum without carry (x xor y) and then adding the carries of that sum (x&y) shifted by 1 bit (2*(x&y)), still the addition of the carries can in turn…

The Power7 (2010) already had a very powerful prefetching engine (also programmable) able to detect a multitude of patterns/striding supporting even 12 different streams. Its desig…

Fortunately, life-threatening, chronic, bankruptcy-inducing, rare-and-disabling conditions represent a relatively small portion of the total healthcare spending (removing the most …

Air also has inelastic demand. It is just that it is too cheap (that doesn't mean that the producers make a good profit) to produce an enormous quantity of it (even though fresh fo…

Thanks for the comment! I was meaning the former (under debt). The intention of my comments was to make clear that in that regard, Switzerland is not an efficient free market priva…

But another way in which Switzerland maintains its healthcare system with public money is through the -often deficitary- cantonal hospitals/clinics/health care centers (also helped…

I guess that you don't know that, for example, if you get operated of a congenital defect in Switzerland, the bill goes to the SVA instead of to your private insurance (and so on f…

Social insurance is covered by AHV/SVA/IV (funded by salary deductions and cover congenital defects, invalidity, some rehabilitation therapies and other non profitable coverage) an…

Switzerland has very strictly and non-deniable obligatory minimum (very broad in coverage) insurance, with regulated yearly price adjustments and on top of that, publicly funded ho…

If you are a non native English speaker you will notice shifts in how things are pronounced when put together, some of whiicht are just not written down, like pronouncing "a" as "e…

There is a simple way around that argument; instead of getting some random (according to whatever distribution) characteristics, be bound to have higher probability of obtaining th…

I get your point, in fact, I don't put a lot of effort in getting things organized to any degree of "good". I "invest" in archiving (I almost never wipe a memory card, a floppy dis…

The value is not in how often one revisits the past, but on how important (and I mean from a personal point of view mostly) a billionth of that stored past might become in the futu…

A comment above states exactly the opposite.

Came to hear to say that was one of my favorite noises :)

I was not counting that as bilingualism.

Also of note, bilingualism/multilingualism is practically the norm across the world; monolingualism is almost an exception.

That's the best scenario; regardless of whether the event reaches the destination or not, in most cases (except continuous monitoring of some parameter which admits losses) the sou…
