I think this paper is refuting Conway (and others') proof of the claim that a set can be divided into 3+ parts without relying on the Axiom of Choice. It does so by observing that the proof only applies to sets that have an ordering, which is to say that there is an algorithm for picking an element from the set, which am extra constraint beyond having only a test for determining whether a known object is an element is in the set. It then goes on to prove that it is not possible to evenly divide a set that lacks such a selection algorithm.

Or something like that.

Formal logic is taught in Mathematical Logic class (intermediate, optional) or Discrete math (intro/intermediate, often not taken)

Geometry class in high school sometimes teaches some of it.

Computer science Binary logic teaches some of (De Morgan's laws)

Outside of New Math of the 1970s, it is a glaring omission from the curriculum.

Even enriched classes like Art of Problem Solving that put heavy emphasis on proofs, do not teach formal logic.

Implemented addition via:

      cos(wx) sin (wy) + sin(wx) cos(wy)

Looks nice, but would benefit from longer examples (10+ lines) to really get a feel for things.

I suggest you reread the OP and ask questions, because you seem to have overlooked some of the ideas explained therein, such as transfinite ordinals.

A year of school is already dedicated to fractions.

Kids were bad at fractions even before digital clocks.

Your China article is from 2004. China's regime's ability to control media and its residents is stronger now than then, and the people in charge are more insecure and defensive. That may be enough to explain the change in PR strategy.

Alternatively, past leaks simply weren't bad enough to embarrass the State and could be blamed on local officials. This one got so big so fast that a more defensive posture was required.

Nature.com says:

Editors’ note, March 2020: We are aware that this story is being used as the basis for unverified theories that the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 was engineered. There is no evidence that this is true; scientists believe that an animal is the most likely source of the coronavirus.

which seems to be unscientific editorializing. There is some evidence, as presented in the OP for example, and there is "no evidence" for any other origin theory either. And the Chinese government in Wuhan showed from the start with Li Wenliang's experience, that any evidence that pointed to imperfect competence in Wuhan would be destroyed by the totalitarian government.

What's one such phone?

I've never seen a <$300 Moto phone match a $100 Logitech webcam.

Netflix is draining of quality content and people still pirate memberships. Not a good example.

If Netflix was working so well, all those other services wouldn't exist, because they'd have no customers.

You undermine your own argument by saying

Piracy is not a price problem, it's a service problem

and then say

for free.

It's just circular logic to fallaciously justify itself. "criminal organization" == "Any group of >1 person who breaks this law". The term isn't in the text of the law itself.

All you have to do is not make copies of content the creators don't want to give to you.

It costs you nothing to not infringe.

Do you also want to live in a society without personal property? Can I come to your home to borrow anything you aren't using at the moment?

personally instigating legal action on millions of others

how so?

The vast majority of content creators disagree.

"someone else's" is a view of property rights that not all hold.

"profiteering" (vs just covering costs) assumes facts not in evidence.

This is an alternate angle, which allows prosecution without trying to count how many copies were streamed.

Is every program with variables a "fuzzy logic" program?

Is my thermostat a fuzzy-logic air conditioner?

I honestly think migration out of cities will not make areas more blue, but will generally increase the conservative population in the US.

It's most likely that both will happen, thanks to Simpsons paradox: The area with immigration shifts toward the newcomers (since they aren't going to be MORE provincial than the natives, even if they partly convert), while also shifting the political power from the urban emigration are to the immigration area.

San Francisco population decimated -- succinct, correct, but sounds shocking.

It's essentially impossible to avoid eating sufficient essential amino acids

In a nation where most people have an extreme caloric surplus, "processing", aka "cooking" increases the caloric intake of diners. Processing usually removes fiber also.

That's only for the cheap fake cheese, not a good cashew cheese.

What's nice about cashew cheese is that it won't make you sick as quickly as a dairy cheese pizza will, which despite it's good taste charged a hefty tax afterward.

As someone who has eaten McDonald's hamburger, no, it's not, it's an abomination. Just make a veggie/vegan burger instead...

In other woods, it's a matter of quality of ingredients and preparation.

"Vegans" aren't who really want burgers. Newbie vegans who have been indoctrinated by a lifetime burger culture.

Burgers aren't a huge deal in Asia, for example.

IQ doesn't measure educational attainment.

That's what I wrote.

NIST seems a bad home for pseudoscientists.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

" The CRS is a points-based system that we use to assess and score your profile and rank it in the Express Entry pool. It’s used to assess your:

* skills

* education

* language ability

* work experience

* other factors. [Not psychology-related] "

Richwine's proposal is specifically intended to displace the privilege-bias baked into measures of educational attainment.

Canada doesn't have anything like a President. The Prime Minister is chosen the way the US chooses the Speaker of the House. That's far far more important than the details of the administration of voting.

start voting 1 month before the actual election day,

Letting people vote is the foundation of democracy.

votes can be counted and communicated

Where does this happen?

absolutely no polls/estimations/etc communicated in the media during the last 48 hours before the election day.

For what benefit?
