    Let us suppose that Mister B affirms that Mister A lies. What should be done and what should not be done to evaluate B's assertion? I guess the following procedures do not apply: 1. Find Mister A and ask him: do you lie? 2. Find friends of A and with them consult the veracity of A. 3. Consult people who work for A and / or receive money from A. That is, it is not appropriate to consult Mister A, or people linked to A for affection or for money. What should be done? This is the laborious part. The only way is to look for affirmations of A that have been documented, perhaps spanning many years, to contrast them with the facts that A produced linked to those …

    Hello forum, I have to make a presentation about royalty payments, more specific regarding trademark royalties or intangibles but any will do. Of course I am doing this on my own but I hit a bit of a rut and wanted to ask if anyone has some inspiration or a helpful diagram/image or a nice explanation. I have seen most youtube videos and some presentations but they are done in a tangible focused manner. Any help is appreciated.

    So apparently there was a huge row regarding the last Star Wars movie (I have not seen it and do not follow social media). Now apparently someone looked into it and found that at least half of the vocal voices against the movie were most likely trolls and quite a few bots. Half of the bots were likely Russian. From the paper itself: Somewhat funny, somewhat sad. The future of discourse in the age of social media continues to be an interesting experiment.

    Anyone else find it strange that Godel's wife was apparently a dancer? You'd figure she might have been a fellow academic or some other kind of professional. Mathematicians don't typically marry people from showbusiness. Does anyone know of any online sources that give info on this, seemingly, unlikely pairing?

  11. I'm not a scientist yet, but I want to be, so I'm trying to do a cool experiment at home. I want to do a plant grow up inside a box with an artificial light and a solar panel, using the sunlight to turn on a light bulb. But I think this idea has a lot of problems, for example, energetically speaking the artificial light will be weaker than sunlight, so on cloudy days, a plant doesn't will have so much light. If you guys have any suggestions for how I can make this, like the type of plant, of solar panel, of the light bulb, or anything, please tell me your idea. I am in this forum to learn English too, so feel free to correct me.

Desired temperature in dwelling 15C to 25C , outside that range, energizing HVAC system is allowed. Bidirectional fans located at boundaries attic/living area ; living area/exterior. Thermometers/thermostats located in the three locations (attic, exterior, living area) to command fans for the correct air flow direction to avoid energizing HVAC. Exampl…

    Hi. I have been summoned as a free literary consultant. Without receiving a penny? So is. The wife of my lifelong friend, when he heard something I once said, began to plan a novel. On that occasion I said the following. --------- Take the Euclidean geometry as an example. Euclid chose as postulates the simplest and most intuitive notions. He derived from them theorems, in increasing order of complexity. The Euclidean geometry, presented in that form, is coherent and complies with all the logical rules. Someone could change the order of the presentation. How would that be? Instead of postulating the most intuitive notions, propose as postulates some of the high-l…

    A corner is a junction between two ways, either horizontally or vertically aligned, with or without other corners. When passive in cornered space our eyes become over-tired to the spiralling rhythm, of travelling from corner to corner and sensing corners (where we stop and register two ways). Our eyes will dart either way when they meet a corner, and we get used to the rhythm of cornered off space. We are always reading leftward or rightward when presented with a corner, because that is what is perceived either sub-optically or normally. When in a house, subliminally, and normally, we register corners, and are deluded by logic of corners, lost in a spi…

    What does dark brown beer or maybe even black beer taste like? Not really a fan of beer as I only drink to get wasted and I prefer something sweet like a vodka cruiser that comes in fruity flavors. I have tasted light beers, you know the yellow colored ones but haven't tasted the darker selection. What does it taste like and why is darker in color than regular beers?

    Like ThePirateBay to download the torrents and use the torrents with Utorrent or some other one. I have save tons of money from using Torrents and am very thankful for its existence. Free information, free movies, free shows and free books... etc SO MUCH MORE! What are your experiences like with Torrents and do you use them? (I know I explain it weird cause I don't know all the terms to use but I know how to use them) Edit: There was this course that costs 250 bux each and so I saved 500 dollars from having to buy it. Also I saved a lot more by downloading free mathtutordvd courses.

    I was invited from a friend, at least I hope he thinks of me as a friend, I try to befriend everyone online. I never ignore or block people. I think of myself a rational person, as an empiricist, and I try to attack arguments, not people. I attempted to post in the Religious thread, and it's been about 2 hours now, my comment is pending approval. In the meantime, my friend at G+ thought I should introduce myself. Is all that really necessary to initiate discussion relative these topics? Just wonderin'. Hadn't really needed to do this at any other forums I've posted at. Is that the norm here?

  24. I shared some articles and pictures of my life in my WeChat moments. A normal male friend kindly commented on them and we happily chatted for a while. Next day I went through his moments and read his poets I feel most of them are quite sentimental, so I left a comment there: you have a successful career and life why you are so unhappy ? he replies : nothing to do with my career, it is just how i feel about the life ! me : you seem always sentimental. then he replies: yes, quite. Days later I found I was deleted from his WeChat.... Am I so wrong of saying such words to him ? Is it true he is really sentimental ? Or I have very poor communication skill ? Or…

    Recently someone posted a quote that was attributed to Aristotle "“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it". As so often on the internet it is a widespread attribution that does not seem to be accurate. In Nicomachean ethics Aristotle said (and I add preceding lines to add context): "Therefore, in a discussion of such subjects, which has to start with a basis of this kind, we must be satisfied to indicate the truth with a rough and general sketch: when the subject and the basis of a discussion consist of matters that hold good only as a general rule, but not always, the conclusions reached must be of the same order. …
