The trouble is, the general belief seems to be that half the population has assumed some risk just by being female. And if he weren't flashing his cash would the defence try and accuse him of doing so and attempt to show that he has a history of showing off his wealth on other occasions? But often their "behaviour" is just being female. How are they supposed to modify that?

I may be wrong, but I am guessing the thesis is not written in HTML. Personally, I would go with spaces between paragraphs as indenting can look rather old-fashioned. But it might be appropriate in an academic text. Especially if you are using a serif font. If I did use indents, I would indent every paragraph.

Not just neutrinos, but a (new) currently unknown type of massive neutrino. But it has, as the article points out, eliminated many (most) alternative gravity models and some forms of dark matter. This doesn't make much sense. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. If it helps (?) gravity would be mediated by virtual gravitons which are not particles and hence don't need to escape from the black hole. The energy is dissipated in the gravitational waves which are (largely) generated before the merger.

That would mean it wasn't science! I am fairly sure that other models of language will turn out to be more successful and that, in a generation or so, Chomsky's work will be of only historical interest. Unfortunately, I won't be around to find out!

Electron - electron collisions
Strange replied to Moontanman's topic in Modern and Theoretical Physics
There have been several accelerators that used electrons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Electron–Positron_Collider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAC_National_Accelerator_Laboratory#Accelerator -
Except, nearly always the equivalent to "blinged-up rapper" is "woman" (possibly dressed in sweats) and the equivalent of "slum" is at a party, or on a bus or at home. But there is still an attempt to say that the victim has some responsibility (smiling, not fighting back,not screaming loud enough, etc).

Epicycles were additional cycles that were added to try and model the movements of planets, based on the assumptions that they orbited the Earth and only moved in circles. As are accurate observations were Mae, more and and more epicycles were added. Generative theory has become increasingly complex as new special cases (kludges) are added every time a new language or feature is found that it can't explain.

Generative grammar is the "epicycles" of linguistics.

Why do they "have to" go through it? Do victims of other crimes have to be warned about what they will have to go through? Surely that is the problem? Do victims of burglary or other crimes get treated like that? As with so many things, it isn't that simple. The very fact that people even mention "being in a place" is part of the problem. They are implicitly saying that it is wrong for women to be in certain places (or wear certain clothes, or drink) even if they don't go so far as to say, explicitly, that she into blame. They are still assigning some level of blame.

Except, of course, natural language doesn't actually work like that! Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

I think you probably would - a local office will might only set their rate once a day or something, rather than in real time. Doing it online or via an app means you can track the exchange rate and do it when it looks good. Also, online services may have lower overheads and so charge slightly less. And, persoanlly, I would say doing it online is much simpler than visiting an office....

There are dozens (hundreds) of forex services online. Many of them have apps and I expect some deal in Kuna. For example: http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=EUR&To=HRK (Just the first one I found.) You could see which offer the best rates but I suspect it won't make very much difference unless you are changing very large amounts. That is probably the most expensive method.

That looks really impressive. It should manage a lot of the language processing things that I thought would be a problem for your project (parsing text and identifying parts of speech, etc). While it may be obvious to you what "it" is referring to, I think it is going to be trickier for a program. That would be a good test: write a program to identify the antecedent for each pronoun in the text. If you can do that with reasonable accuracy, I will be impressed. (Unless Spacy just does it for you )

As long as it can explain the patterns in the CMB, the separation of dark matter and normal matter in the Bullet Custer (and others), and so on. This article covers black hole mergers and the other subjects you are interested in: https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/dark-matter-winners-and-losers-in-the-aftermath-of-ligo-f34ffab04fcb

I guess that is similar to John Wheeler's "participatory universe" concept.

Can science actually prove ANYTHING to be 100% fact?
Strange replied to Thinkbigger!!!!!'s topic in General Philosophy
This is the scientific method in action: make observations, propose a hypothesis and make observations to test it. -
To quote from the link above (still works for me, so may be your end): "The patterns that we see in observations of the CMB were set up by competition between two forces acting on matter; the force of gravity causing matter to fall inward and an outward pressure exerted by photons (or particles of light). This competition caused the photons and matter to oscillate into-and-out-of dense regions. But if the Universe consisted partially of dark matter in addition to normal matter, that pattern would be affected dramatically. The existence of dark matter leaves a characteristic imprint on CMB observations, as it clumps into dense regions and contributes to the gravitational collapse of matter, but is unaffected by the pressure from photons." Models of what we would expect to see based on the amount of dark matter we see today, matches the patterns in the CMB. The B is for background so it is "behind" the bullet cluster; in other words, nothing to do with it. As with the CMB, it is not "random" amounts; it is the amount (proportion) that we see today.

Is that better than the standard "words" file that comes with Linux, etc? Just checked: that file seems to have about 179,000 words. /usr/share/dict/words on my machine has about 236,000 and I think there are versions with more than 400,000.

A good starting point, and test, for coding would be to generate a syntax graph from input sentences. For example:

Dunno. But they have various formats and tools available on the download pages. Maybe google will help you find some info on using it.

There is this: http://wordnet.princeton.edu There may be others...

What on Earth does political correctness have to do with twins? And what the heck is "apolitical correctness"? This is a bizarrely incoherent thread.

No. It is not oscillating. There is no evidence it is oscillating. There is no theoretical reason to think it is oscillating.

I thought that would answer the question in the OP
