no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

edit: formmatting. also i should clarify that reddit isn't a particularly reliable source, but i included it because the top comments on that post agree with the other sources linked, and give provide simple answers to the question

this article is how i found out that bad bunny is not the dr phil girl

Treat OR NO Trick

after you spend enough time with complex numbers, the real numbers start to feel wrong

whether or not i is a scalar depends entirely on the context.

every vector space has an associated field of coefficients. in practice, this field is typically the real numbers. but you can have lots of other kinds of vector spaces as well, and they can be useful for certain things.

anyways, if you have a vector space over the complex numbers, then i is a scalar, because it is a complex number. if you have a vector space over the real numbers, then i is not a scalar, because it’s not a real number.

its worth mentioning that you can view the complex numbers as a vector space over itself. this is just a fancy way of saying that you can add complex numbers together, and you can multiply a complex number by a complex number. (one of those numbers is playing the role of scalar, and the other is playing the role of vector.) but you can also view the complex numbers as a vector space over the real numbers. and this is just a fancy way of saying that you can add complex numbers, and you can multiply a complex number by a real number.

anybody have any guesses about what the hidden word is?

it’s actually impossible to be bilingual because you can only ever be speaking at most one language at a time

how exactly is it that any kind of endorsement creates a “perception of bias”? is he trying to argue that all opinions are biased? and if so, why doesn’t he say anything to support that claim?

maybe we just need to Think Differently about what it means for something to be a summary

from a topological perspective, pizzas are also pyramids and cubes. from an enlightened topological perspective, pizzas are lines and points.

depends on the context, but σ is most often used to denote a member of a permutation group

don’t underestimate the frog in hot water effect. it can make it hard for some people to notice the dramatic increase if they aren’t paying close attention. it helps fascists gain power

i wish the oversized suit from 1984 was back in style

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

no not like that

that’s what they tell you right before throwing you off the plane

the only problem with that is i’d need to change their mind again next year

unfortunately i don’t believe in uranium or numbers higher than 200, so this argument doesn’t work on me

Hasen first covered the issue on his blog last Saturday, where he cited 52 U.S.C. 10307(c), the federal law that prohibits paying someone or accepting payment “either for registration to vote or for voting.” The penalty is $10,000 or up to five years in prison or both.

i wonder which of those penalties he’ll be getting

yeah it’s definitely a contender for first place
