What happens if you make an error in the sequence? Like is there a code to send to "backspace" or restart the letter/ word?

Intelligence is mostly attributable to environmental components and physiological components.

Environmental: exposure to stimuli, access to resources, how much lead you were exposed to as a child, and your network of family, friends, and the community who helped you gain your intelligence.

Physiological: the number of neural connections your brain has, the speed in which you can recall info, the speed/efficiency in which you can retain info, your ability to apply the information that you have to other scenarios, your ability to detect patterns, the speed in which your neurons can pass info to each other, the number of teratogens you were exposed to in utero, the intelligence of your parents – although that is probably more an environmental component than a biological one.

Anyway, there are numerous components that affect intelligence, but the size of the brain isn't really one of them. There are notable individuals who are considered above average intelligence and who were also born with only one hemisphere of their brain. Size doesn't matter much just like the size of a car doesn't predict how fast it will run.

Somehow, reading this has planted, "Shave and a haircut...Two Bits!" firmly into my brain!

TOR is far from completely secure. Both governments and hackercollectives have identifid people in the network. (It's a bunch of effort though)

And if governments planned to stop the existence how would they do that? It's completely decentralized, you can't just order the nodes to be shut down, they are all around the globe.

Also as others have mentioned the US government created TOR, and is actively using it

This answer goes a bit over my head, could you break it down in layman's terms?

>thans for read.-.-.-

The Onion Router was invented by a branch of the US government and is heavily supported by the German government (they run a LOT of exit nodes).

This is because TOR allows their operatives to do things that would otherwise be illegal in foreign countries.

Also, controlling the exit nodes means you might not know who is doing what, but you still get a pretty good idea of what’s happening, just not who is doing it - so it’s a great source of intel.

I'm reading through one of the links and this caught my attention:

>For example, to sack / fire / dismiss is pok tao lo 卜头路 — (spoken by the mother), so natural, more emotional than when you say kāichú 开除 (as in Mandarin).

This sort of illustrates my point, "卜头路" is a transliteration of hokkien using Mandarin pronunciations, so as written, it wouldn't be understood by anyone who doesn't speak hokkien. An apropos analogy is "bone apple tea", if the listener doesn't know "bon appétit", then it makes no sense whatsoever.

Yet still Hokkien speaker understands what "开除" means and use it in more formal contexts, albeit with a different pronunciation from Mandarin. In this way, written Chinese can be understood by people who speaks different dialects.

Morse code is no longer required for a US amateur license, nor for a marine radio operator license. That only happened in the last 20 years or so.

Cardiac contusion leads to cardiogenic shock. Think steering wheel hitting a chest.

Cardiac tamponade.

Pericardial effusion.

Constriction leading to the ventricles being unable to fill to provide adequate tissue perfusion.

Shit like that.

They use it themselves, it's extremely hard to take down due to the nature of it and just blocking it is easy to circumvent and banning it would cause an absolute uproar. They just leave it be and try to go after the individual websites that do the worst stuff. That being said countries like china have blocked the website that you download it on to make it that much harder to access, but like I said it's super easy to circumvent

>As Turing explains, the test's "existing CPU can't be reprogrammed and the existing LCD can only show 4 things, so I had to replace both to make any changes. And the current version doesn't even fit into the shell! (although I'm certain it will when complete)."

It isn't running on the hardware from the pregnancy test at all. It's just a computer that may or may not fit inside of the test.

Thanks !

There's a more formal way of speaking Fuzhounese that would match onto written Chinese more accurately than the casual way of speaking. So if I were to write a novel, which I assume would be in a more formal form, it actually wouldn't be too different from how Chinese is written currently.

This might be a chicken or egg situation, but during public announcements and such, the announcer would read the document word for word, which you might consider grammatically more Mandarin, and it still makes sense to people who speaks Fuzhounese exclusively, even the illiterate ones. Whether they understand it through exposure or it just make sense fundamentally, I cannot say.

And yes, I was also think we're probably talking past each other a bit. I acknowledge that every dialect has some expressions that cannot be represented faithfully in both meaning and spirit using the standard set of Chinese characters. But in my experience, they are usually the more casual expression unique to the dialect. When it comes to formal speaking, it can usually map onto the written language without much trouble.

My primary argument, considering the comment I was replying to, is that there's a clear connection between sound, character and meaning in all Chinese dialects (barring those special expressions). So much so that if it was written out, maybe the ordering of characters can be a little different in some cases due to grammar, and that some character might be switched to another that still has the same general meaning, it still wouldn't be difficult to extrapolate the meaning of the whole sentence in majority of the cases. In that sense, the dialects share the same script and is mutually telligible when written out in most cases even though the spoken dialects are not.

Who still uses it daily? Is it in certain industries still? I've had a few courses on it over the years but SOS is about all I can do was always interesting as hell to me.

As a political science professor of mine once said years ago, World War I is best understood as a point of human development where our ability to invent new ways of killing people outpaced our ability to truly understand and control it.

Prior to WWI, battles were still fought with horses, and those who were senior officers and other military type people had grown up in an ecosystem and culture where a professional knowledge of what did or didn't work was developed on battlefields and contexts that were very, very different from trench warfare. To give up on "going over the top" seems sensible, because we can theorize you'd be shot to pieces, but it would require committing to the idea that warfare was now a totally new ballgame and all of the old strategies that had proven efficacious in past battles (i.e., overwhelming your opponent with sheer numbers) was suddenly no longer viable. Old habits die hard.

I also think on some level that people became their own victims of propaganda and wishful thinking. If you think of your enemy only as idiotic, opportunistic cowards, it becomes more plausible to think they'll turn tail and run when faced with a remarkable show of bravery and force. Given that a lot of the iconography of WWI recruitment centered around every country being the heroes of their own story, and celebrating the valor and courage of young men, it's certainly possible that both at the level of the individual infantrymen and for commanding officers chasing glory and recognition of their own to think that this time a charge will work!. Especially when it always existed as a "Plan B" to the unsavory Plan A of sitting in a disease-filled, wet trench and waiting around for something to change.

Actually, literacy is actually a lot higher in historical England than the records indicate. This is because "literacy" was measured in Latin, not English; and as such there were a significant (likely over 25% of the population) number of "illiterate" people who could read and write English at the equivalent of a modern 8th-grade level.

You have people that had their brain compressed to half its size by fluids and they were perfectly fine. Intelligence is more about connectivity between neurons, epigenetics and ability to solve problems in current situations than absolute number of neurons.

One notes that if one “misses” the end of the word, one can often work out what was meant, just as if one misses aspace in typing, as I just did.

This is similar to the Japanese and Chinese style writing where each “character” is made up of different sub parts.
