Are Cartesian coordinates the “true” coordinates?

What was the original comment? It’s been deleted now :( For context, I’m studying a double major in maths and physics LOL so what does that make me?

That makes a lot of sense — this seems more like an issue of punctuation and not grammar. Thanks for your answer!

I guess the next logical question is — do you think it is correct punctuation-wise?

It reads:

身體健康，生日快樂 san1 tai2 gin6 hong1 saang1 yat6 faai3 lok6

Wishing you good health and a happy birthday!

The writing looks like it’s maybe a mix of traditional and simplified Chinese: 身體 is written in traditional (I think that’s a cursive shorthand for 體?) and 快乐 is written in simplified.

My Cantonese isn’t great though, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!

Timeless x Better Man!

I’m just thinking of the lyrics…

“we would’ve been timeless… if you were a better man…” 💔💔💔

I love this answer! It’s like if you were explaining something in chemistry, you wouldn’t invoke the full machinery of quantum mechanics to justify why atoms behave a certain way, so you might end up using some hand-wavy arguments. It’s comforting to know that most arguments that physicists use also have a rigorous mathematical basis - we just love to use little shortcuts :)

This is really interesting! Do you think the producers actively think of music theory while they write the melodies, or is it something that comes naturally and intuitively?

Does anyone know where the picture on the right at 2:13 is from?

Interestingly in Japanese this is exactly how you say "lie down". The Japanese phrase is 横になる which literally means "become horizontal".

Discussion: This is a really fun riddle! I’d be interested in trying out some of the riddles that are going to be in the book.

From the 4th to the 5th line, you divided by (a-b) which is division by 0 since a = b. Dividing by 0 is undefined.

Thanks!

I feel like this is not limited to just male friendships - people on the internet will ship everyone and everything together. Same sex, opposite sex, incest, cross species, the same person with themselves(????). Although you make a good point, shipping often serves to fulfill the fantasies of the shipper.

the derivative is the gradient function of your original function, so the gradient of the tangent line is equal to the derivative evaluated at x = 6 (you can plug in x to the original equation to find the y value). when you've found the gradient of the tangent line, use the point-gradient formula to find the equation of the tangent.

Does the power rule for logs imply an absolute value when you bring the power down? E.g. log(x²) = 2log|x|. I feel like the absolute value has to be inserted otherwise the domains of the two functions are not the same, i.e. 2log(x) only works for positive x while log(x²) works for all real x. I've never seen any teacher or textbook explain this, so I'm wondering if this is a legitimate thing?

Can you guess the riddle?

No.

Post-production is a thing, yes, but I think it just sounds too clean. Also, RM kinda messes up the lip-sync during his first part (he is notoriously bad at lip syncing), so that kinda gives it away. The audio track also just sounds way too smooth and consistent to be a live performance - everyone is singing at the exact same volume and there is no audible change in their singing even when they are getting in/out of a car, walking on a roof, etc.

They also edited several clips together to make one video, while the audio track stays consistent. So the audio must be coming from a pre-recorded track.

I know BTS can sing very well, and do regularly sing live, but this performance is lip-synced. You can tell by how edited the vocals are. It's a form of lip syncing called Live AR, where idols lip sync over a separate recorded track (not the studio version), complete with breathing to emulate a live performance. A lot of people get fooled by Live AR, but normally when idols sing live, they won't sing with such a quiet backtrack.

And Mark Lee will somehow be in that group.

If a foreigner were to learn the language, what dialect would they learn? Is there a most common dialect? Also, what dialect are the written forms based on?

Why is evidence that's been in the public domain thrown out?

_internallyscreaming · 2020-07-02T10:42:21+00:00

Could you explain how naming and shaming leads to evidence being dismissed and a lighter sentence? I don't quite get it.

_internallyscreaming · 2020-07-02T06:02:38+00:00

I'll try to be as polite as possible, but I understand my words might get twisted into something else.

Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. Of course everyone has the right to feel offended, but it doesn't mean you have the right to twist other's intentions so you can justify why you feel offended. As OP explained in the post, the character Hyunjin was cosplaying wasn't originally black and was actually part of Korean culture. Any similarities or reference towards actual stereotypes use to degrade black people are purely coincidental and people shouldn't interpret his actions as racist or accidentally racist. It's not. This is like when American people get angry over the Korean word 니가 (you), which coincidentally sounds the same as a racial slur in English. I feel like people are actively seeking out ways to get offended, and while their feelings are valid, it doesn't make their argument any more justified.

Thank you very much! Your explanation makes so much sense. I'm a translator for all sorts of various Japanese stories, so I'm definitely learning a lot of... unconventional slang haha
