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 t…

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…

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 intern…

South Park saw it coming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5F_AhciUy4

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 ri…

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…

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 …

You can't be an alcoholic using wine / beer? How did you get to that conclusion?

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…

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 …

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 evidenc…

> 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…

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 he…

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 …

I hope you've discovered Venture Bros? Best of them all!

There is sober discussion of the purported deciphering at these two links: https://www.voynich.ninja/archive/index.php/thread-2175.html https://ciphermysteries.com/2017/11/10/gerar…

> 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-on…

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-…

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 m…

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 reductiv…

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 i…

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-…

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 si…

>What value does it provide? The fact that you know with certainty that someone is single (or at least claims to be)? You'd also know that they're advertising that they're open to …
