Philosophy and critical thinking skills.

The Christian Bible also requires death by stoning for adultery and various other brutal punishments. The vast majority of Christians do not endorse such things. As far as I know, the same is true of most Muslims.

Those who feel oppressed and injustice may blame the country they live in (which could be almost any country in the world) or may blame those countries which, historically, have been the cause of the current problems (USA, UK, Russia, others). So they will feel justified attacking almost any country. Despite that, the overwhelming number of terrorist attacks, and terrorist deaths, take place in primarily Islamic countries and nearly all the victims are Muslims. What evidence do you have that Islam creates or makes people believe there is injustice? Oppression and injustice (or perceived oppression and injustice) is primarily a political (and, to some extent, economic) problem. It is the same underlying reasons that caused the Brexit vote, Trump's triumph, the rise of right-wing extremists in France and elsewhere.

The UK Government site has a couple of examples: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/non-disclosure-agreements You can find others online from various lawyers.

Ah, I see. I wasn't looking at it from that perspective. Isn't another requirement of a conspiracy that it be secret or hidden in some way? But there seems little secrecy about the fact there are organizations committed to encouraging people to believe in one god or another. What is the stage of no return?

Who is in this conspiracy apart from God? If it is just him, then it isn't a conspiracy.

So what are you saying? That Google's search engine is ... a search engine? But most other hardware and software systems are not. Can you show some specific examples? (And I mean specific.) For example, how exactly is plant transpiration or seed dispersal related to the functions of a search engine? (But feel free to choose your own examples.)

Agreed. Visual Basic is an abomination and a terrible learning tool. C# (from the little exposure I have had) looks pretty good. IF you want to use a Microsoft-centric language and development tool. As the OP spoke about cross-platform development, I would go for something more standard such as Java or Python. Indeed. Programming is primarily a design exercise. Coding in a particular language is "merely" implementation and it shouldn't really matter what language you learn first - it just needs to be appropriate for the application and the target platform.

There is no "universal library". You are deluded.

I don't think so.

Well, I'm still not clear what you think is (nearly) instantaneous. I can't see why the Planck time would be relevant, either.

Don't they cross the French-Spanish border? But I don't know if they have ever made any attacks in France...

Agreed. I'm not sure what your nuancing adds. Maybe it is too subtle for me. I mean, if gender as a binary construct is a societal construction, then isn't also true that gender as a spectrum (or anything in-between) is also a societal construct. You could (in principle) have a society that disregarded gender completely. "Verbing weirds language." Some languages have an explicit syntax morpheme for marking words as verbs (e.g. Japanese X-する = "to X") but in English it is the null string.

I have no idea.

This is a science forum, you know. I think it might be time for the mods to close this.

I don't get that. There is a delay between the change where the shadow is (the future) and the introduction of the object causing the shadow (now). So who you move the object, the shadow is delayed by distance / light-speed.

I can't make much sense of that. You have a line with two end points (1,1) and (4,3) So you have used exactly the number of coordinates (two pairs) need to describe the start and end of the line in 2D. Where does size come into this? Your comment on the top left, seems to equate the Y coordinate to the size of your balls (if you will excuse the phrase). Apart from the fact that your X coordinates converge to a point, I don't understand what this is supposed to show. (And can I suggest using a ruler or a graphics program on your PC next time.)

Because the other information is encoded in the perspective transform. So you use that information to calculate the missing coordinates. A simple question along those lines might have been more productive.

Mainly political systems (corrupt or incompetent governments, for example). What? Really? The IRA famously worked in at least two countries (as well as doing a significant amount of fund-raising and lobbying in the USA). And most of the other terrorist groups when I was young (mainly radical left-wing groups) operated throughout Europe. A better question might be if there are any terrorist groups that only operate in one country?

We are allowed to know anything that can be measured (directly or indirectly). So what are you referring to?

That sounds something like the line equation: y = mx + c But that defines an unbounded line. To define a line segment you would need to define its start and end points (or, equivalently, its start point and length).

You may see it perfectly, but without a diagram or some mathematics, I am not seeing it. You seem to have information missing. You have specified the position of two spheres - I assume just on one axis - but not their size: <------------- o ------------|---------- o ---------------> -44 44 Then you double their size, and as a result halve the size of the coordinate system: <------------- O ------------|---------- O ---------------> -22 22 It still is not clear how you can use this. You don't appear willing to actually discuss your idea or answer any questions. If it does get locked, I expect it will be because of that.

And where is the math?

I saw a sign today that said: Logic will get you from A to B. Creativity [actually, it said imagination but, meh] can take you anywhere. That seems more relevant than all the incoherent blather about sex determination.
