i think you think that telephone numbers are well-structured. they are not. they are messy. they do not fit a certain schematic.

I recommend also the following topic: “people have names”. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/

Names do not in general fit into the schematic “first name, last name”

oha dankeschön ^.^

ok but now, where does the word “Funke” (spark) come from?

yeah, true

There were electrochemical cells (invented in 1800) that provided a constant current for some time.

Idk the details. Look up Galvanic cell, Volta cell.

ooh i always guessed the word “Funk” comes from function, i.e. the radio is a useful tool that has a function to whoever is using it.

Two inventions:

• Internet
• Computers

are independent of each other, but go together nicely.

You could have an internet (sort of) without computers. Consider Teletypers, FM Radio broadcasts, or Telephone.

i would like to hear about it :)

which is about the frequency that the heart (german Herz) is beating with.

Funnily enough, Faraday seemingly also understood that the Electric Field only possesses a potential in the absence of changing magnetic fields. Because only in the absence of changing magnetic fields, the rotation of the Electric Field is zero, and only then it has a potential.

This might sound ridiculous to you.

But, it does matter. Ultimately, those in charge determine whether there would be a war or not. That’s why their perspective matters.

It’s ultimately because a war does enormous harm and throws the country’s progress back by decades why the rich are (or should be) against war. That is a very important message that can have a lot of influence on the world!

?

what’s wrong with the term “functionally” according to you?

multi track drifting

still an important question

sometimes you hear people say that when we have “figured out everything about physics”, then we’d have figured out everything about the world, as the world is guided by physical principles.

Even if they had a complete model of all of physics, it still wouldn’t answer all questions, as a lot of important data is just random. Whether nature decided to go with D-molecule or L-molecule is essentially random.

People are seen as workers in the US.

That is a dehumanizing view.

Think about it: You are not a human, you are a worker.

what?

Where are the videos from the Iranian perspective?

Why are we giving Israel a stage, but not Iran?

I’m not sure about the details yet. I think, libraries give you 1 chip card that contains a public/private key pair that you can use to “proof” yourself on the internet. Ideally, it would have widespread support and many platforms (both fediverse and commercial platforms) would support it.

I think it may or may not be tied to your person, i.e. you might get that chip card without any kind of ID. Then it wouldn’t matter so much if it leaks. But idk, just floating ideas here.

Our university has already adapted. We get little homework now, but have to write (very) short mini-tests at the beginning of each lesson. They typically take up 5-10 minutes and contain 1-2 questions which you can easily answer if you understand the course materials.
