This is quite ridiculous ... If you have a ruler ( a one dimensional line with numbers on it ) all you need is one number to specify any position on it. If you have a sheet of graph paper ( 2 dimensional numbered grid lines ) you need two numbers to specify any position on it. It is a simple mental jump to imagine a height above that sheet of graph paper with the same grid lines. That is the third dimension, and you now need three numbers to specify a location in that space above the sheet of graph paper. And should you want to assign variables to a specified location, you can call them x, y, and z. Dimensions are simply the directions you can move in a given space. Back and forth, side to side, and up down for 3 dimensional space.

The FiveThirtyEight model is currently giving Biden an ~87% chance of winning. My own model gives Biden a ~74% chance of winning, details below. I ran 1,000,000 simulations Monte Carlo style, where the outcomes in each state are independent of one another. I split states into five categories: 1) Safe Republican - Assigned a probability of 1 to vote Republican 2) Safe Democrat - Assigned a probability of 0 to vote Republican 3) Won by Trump in 2016 but leans Democrat (Maine 2, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin) - Assigned a probability of 0.4 to vote Republican 4) Won by Trump in 2016 and leans Republican (Florida, Iowa, Ohio) - Assigned a probability of 0.6 to vote Republican 5) Formerly safe Republican but could possibly flip (Arizona, Nebraska 2, North Carolina, Texas) - Assigned a probability of 0.9 to vote Republican After 1,000,000 simulations these were the results: Republicans: 234295 Democrats: 741461 Ties: 24244 Total: 1000000 Just in case anyone wants to play around with the probabilities here is the header file: #ifndef STATE_H #define STATE_H #define LEANDEM 0.4 /* Trump won in 2016 but leans democrat */ #define KEEP 0.6 /* Trump won in 2016 and leans republican */ #define FLIP 0.9 /* Polls indicate may flip democrat */ struct state { char* name; /* name of state */ int votes; /* number of electoral votes */ double probr; /* probability of voting republican */ } states[] = { "Alabama", 9, 1, "Alaska", 3, 1, "Arizona", 11, FLIP, "Arkansas", 6, 1, "California", 55, 0, "Colorado", 9, 0, "Connecticut", 7, 0, "Delaware", 3, 0, "District of Columbia", 3, 0, "Florida", 29, KEEP, "Georgia", 16, 1, "Hawaii", 4, 0, "Idaho", 4, 1, "Illinois", 20, 0, "Indiana", 11, 1, "Iowa", 6, KEEP, "Kansas", 6, 1, "Kentucky", 8, 1, "Louisiana", 8, 1, "Maine 1", 3, 0, "Maine 2", 1, LEANDEM, "Maryland", 10, 0, "Massachusetts", 11, 0, "Michigan", 16, LEANDEM, "Minnesota", 10, 0, "Mississippi", 6, 1, "Missouri", 10, 1, "Montana", 3, 1, "Nebraska 1", 4, 1, "Nebraska 2", 1, FLIP, "Nevada", 6, 0, "New Hampshire", 4, 0, "New Jersey", 14, 0, "New Mexico", 5, 0, "New York", 29, 0, "North Carolina", 15, FLIP, "North Dakota", 3, 1, "Ohio", 18, KEEP, "Oklahoma", 7, 1, "Oregon", 7, 0, "Pennsylvania", 20, LEANDEM, "Rhode Island", 4, 0, "South Carolina", 9, 1, "South Dakota", 3, 1, "Tennessee", 11, 1, "Texas", 38, FLIP, "Utah", 6, 1, "Vermont", 3, 0, "Virginia", 13, 0, "Washington", 12, 0, "West Virginia", 5, 1, "Wisconsin", 10, LEANDEM, "Wyoming", 3, 1 }; #endif Here is the main loop: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "state.h" #include "time.h" #define NDISTRICTS 53 #define RUNS 1000000 main() { int dem; int rep; srand(time(NULL)); double sample; int demwins = 0; int repwins = 0; int ties = 0; for (int i = 0; i < RUNS; i++) { dem = 0; rep = 0; for (int j = 0; j < NDISTRICTS; j++) { sample = (double)rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0); if (sample < states[j].probr) rep += states[j].votes; else dem += states[j].votes; } if (dem > 269) demwins++; else if (rep > 269) repwins++; else ties++; } int total = demwins + repwins + ties; printf("Republicans: %d\n", repwins); printf("Democrats: %d\n", demwins); printf("Ties: %d\n", ties); printf("Total: %d\n", total); }

Then point out the specifics. Trying to describe your fictive scenarios using words opens for mistakes: and Is not the best way to do physics. It would be easier to do a mathematical analysis using a proper model.

Then either you express yourself poorly or do not understand what you came across. Puberty is defined as the process in which sexual maturation occurs. "Associated with childbirth" is in so far relevant as prior to entering puberty reproduction is not possible. The rest of your post has basically nothing to do with puberty.

If you have script checking log file *) every second you will have just one second delay between connection and information to user. User won't be even able to read information in such short time.. So tell me why such delay is a problem? *) or use tail -f with grep. any update to a file will be printed to console. https://shapeshed.com/unix-tail/#how-to-watch-a-file-for-changes https://www.networkworld.com/article/3529891/watching-activity-on-linux-with-watch-and-tail-commands.html You could also try TCP proxy. Original app should connect to your proxy, and proxy make connection for real. Then you can even make it interactive with user consent or rejection of the connection.

If it is already in this file, why not to use e.g. grep on it, to extract it? or make Perl or Python or bash script to parse it..

I truly have no idea what this refers to. If you want me to understand what you're saying, can you please supply enough context so that I know what "it" refers to? Nothing to do with intelligence. Just subject-specific education and study. I myself am right at the ragged edge of my own competence in the topics we're discussing and usually have to look things up to respond to your questions. It's just a matter of learning the material.

!seY That way you cover everything from Z(apatos) to A(rea54).

Agree. This is absolute Borax! Especially from a mod! ...and I don't want to hear his next spin cycle!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTP2RUD_cL0 Money for Nothing (and get your chicks for free) Apparently Trump's election team wanted to use that to open his rallies but Sting was insisting on royalties. Then Trump said he expected the royalties from them but Sting said he wasn't even American, just an Englishman in New York 🤔

You could try Copleston, A History of Philosophy, volume VI: Modern Philosophy: From the French Enlightenment to Kant, chapter 15 (XV for classicists...) 'Kant (6): Aesthetics and Teleology' PDF e.g. here. Just a small warning: Kant has written 3 main 'Critiques', 'The Critique of Judgment' being the third. It might not be easy to correctly place it in the thinking of Kant. 'The Critique of Judgment' is not my specialty, but if you have questions, you can try me.

As you go through notes/textbooks write down key points, ideally in a heirarchical bullet point format. Write in your own words, but retaining technical terms. If you know what is on it envisage typical questions you might be asked, write them down and answer them.

Who cares?

Generalization of experience is the basis of real science. This is easy to prove. If a set of vocal statements is taken as the basis(axioms), then the scientific method is no different from the scholastic one. Since the scholastic method is not scientific, experience must be put in the foundation of science. Proved This cannot be already even because they collide with small particles What has changed now?

This is interconnected. Speculative science XX-XXI centuties produce almost nothing

For those who do not understand, I will explain it for the last time. If with the help of a small lexicon it is possible to express the same as with the help of a large one, then a language with a small lexicon is more expressive than one that has a large I think this is clear enough

you haven't added anything new. This is exactly what I said (not quite exactly, but the meaning was clear, your amendments are purely formal). Everything remains in effect Further. What exactly do you dispute from what is said below? Isn't there documentary evidence of childbirth from 7-8 years old, without pronounced secondary signs? Or do you dispute that childhood emotions include sexual aspect? Or do you deny that teeth have nothing to do with childbirth? Express yourself more clearly, please At least establish a connection what the secondary hairline has to do with fertility. If it does not, then again we return to the question of what it is and where it came from

All speculative science only like mathematics and so on. If the model is a generalization of experience, then it is real natural science. And astronomy is still considered as such At least formal Only that it is not found on the surface of the earth (leaving aside the question of correct measurement for now)? By the way, in my personal opinion, the wave nature of light is direct evidence of aether, because a wave outside the environment is an oxymoron So, in my personal opinion, the evidence of aether is exists

This approach leads to fraud if postulates are obtained inductively from experience, they are not completely reliable, but they are more reliable than mere speculation. This is verification, scientific method

collisions change movement. Space is not sterile, there is dust and particles This topic is related, I have already said exactly how. I have already given the evidence, I believe that the wave nature of light proves a luminiferous medium (aether) If you insist, we can not discuss it How exactly is gravity with heliocentrism? In general, gravity itself is an extremely dubious hypothesis, because it provides for action at a distance, which is generally rejected by science and has never been observed anywhere. That is not prove of gravitation hypothesis,

sounds like a story from comics By the way, do you know that most of this filming was filmed in Hollywood, at the studio? True, there is debate about how much material was filmed there, 100% or less
