  1. Unfounded generalization based on a single example.
  2. Immediate examples coming to mind: for the first claim, Robert Phelan, for the second, Richard Feynman.
  3. This is factually incorrect. This is also factually incorrect.
  4. What does prevent the molecules from collapsing to subatomic scales?
  5. No, it should be 7, not 4.
  6. Well, there is one more possibility, nCr(4,0) = 1. If you count all the 'mixtures', then, instead of summation as you did above, you better calculate a simple total directly, which is 2n as @John Cuthber has explained earlier. And if you don't want to count the 'empty mixture' nCr(4,0), then the answer is simply 2n-1.
  7. LOL Yevgeny Prigozhin in fatal plane crash, Russian officials say | Financial Times (ft.com)
  8. Russia should be divided between Norway and Mongolia.
  9. I want to clarify that I am not very comfortable with my own example of Turing Machine. Calling the instructions, a 'software' there is already a stretch. I think that it was von Neumann's idea to have instructions in memory like other data. This was the birth of software.
  10. Does it make it a "good intension"?
  11. As in staying president after being democratically defeated.
  12. No. No. Yes. Turing machine. The tape with cells, the head, the register -- hardware. The set of instructions -- software.
  13. Are there rules for using metaphors? More metaphors?
  14. No. The principles of computing had to be invented first.
  15. Yes, certainly. This question, I don't understand. Sorry. Never, if I understand the question correctly.
  16. One of my university professors used to say, "I can be a software engineer without ever stepping into the computer room." (It was time when computers were mainframes.) Memory is hardware. Its content is software.
  17. Doing it in SR, f1 = emitted frequency f2 = received and reflected frequency by the car f3 = measured frequency: f2 = f1 * sqrt(...) f3= f2 * sqrt(...) = f1 * sqrt(...) * sqrt(...) = f1 * ... No sqrt(...) in the final calculation.
  18. It is called "a wishful thinking."
  19. In order not to waste septic freshwater, many households here use it, appropriately filtered, for irrigation.
  20. sqrt() is not needed because it is multiplied twice.
  21. Desalinated water, by reverse osmosis, is the fresh water this entire island lives on.
  22. and close to the ocean as well. And all that just for flashing toilet?
  23. It will not. No, it is not.
  24. Looks like all you need to do is to find a better word than 'happiness.' Guidelines to satisfaction?
