[Weekly Discussion Thread] Scientists, what are the biggest misconceptions in your field? by fastparticlesin askscience

[–]siddboots 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! Khan Academy taught me this misconception.

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom is demanding access to 135 computers and hard drives that were seized from his home in January, so the data can be used for his defense. Until then, he refuses to give up passwords to encrypted data stored on the machines. by DrJulianBashirin technology

Wanna make out?

I don't mean to defend the actions of the NZ authorities, but I think you are being hyperbolic. Can you give me a single example in which a US, NZ or international criminal court has found someone guilty of contempt of court and subsequently distributed their assets?

His assets were seized, but the court can't just distribute his money without a trial.

Of course they care. If he is found guilty of the copyright infringement charge, he will have to pay damages.

What I say to the abnormally high number of classical saxophonists at my school by cfredrickson23in ClassicalMemes

[–]siddboots 0 points1 point ago

Moondog's Sax Pax for A. Sax gave me a lot of respect for ensemble saxophone. Here's a good example (2nd movement, 3rd movement.

In Tokyo this happy guy followed me everywhere to make me smile. by critical_messin Pareidolia

[–]siddboots 4 points5 points ago*

Only in the trivial sense; "I" is a word in English as well as being a letter, but that isn't to say that "I" means something when it is put inside another word like "It". Katakana is a syllabary rather than being ideogramatic.

To be more specific, however, I don't think that シ or ツ mean anything at all when written in Katakana, but the same sounds do have meanings when spoken, or when written in Hiragana or Kanji.

I think the author might have balanced it, because I'm getting much lower return off it now.

It's a beautiful symphony. Just so many completely unique passages of music.

I think we've all experienced this catch-22 at one point or another. by happy420toyouin writing

This is not just about writing. This is the fundamental existential first-world problem.

Familiar story: Redditor takes a photo from balcony, someone triangulates his apartment. Until... by siddbootsin bestof

[–]siddboots[S] 1 point2 points ago

That's fair enough. I hoped that my italics would have emphasised that it was a very loose usage of the term, but you are probably right, the mental process involved barely warrants the connection to triangulation at all.

Regarding the other point, I only meant to give some clarification. I thought that your comment could be easily interpreted as suggesting that trilateration is the more correct term, which it is not.

Familiar story: Redditor takes a photo from balcony, someone triangulates his apartment. Until... by siddbootsin bestof

[–]siddboots[S] 0 points1 point ago

The person in that thread did use a very rough process of triangulation. In this case, trilateration is the wrong word.

See this article, although the term is used pretty loosely in that thread, and in the title.

A visualization of the complexity of algebra. The vertices are theorems and the edges between theorems are dependencies. by NinjaNexusin math

[–]siddboots 5 points6 points ago*

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but this is a graph, rather than a tree. There does not need to be a "root node" as such.

/u/uhwuggawuh may have been reasoning that the highlighted nodes are axiomatic because it is a possible way to interpret they idea of a theorem "depending on itself".
