That’s not a fair example, I know what linear algebra is but can’t tell what’s going on.

Change of basis would be my guess, but that’s pretty basic.

You could’ve provided something far worse, like a manual construction of the Jordan normal form of a large matrix.

So does every number:

6.000000…

Quoting, parodies etc. is explicitly regulated and very tightly regulated. I can only speak for Germany here, other EU countries have different laws but I know they tend to be on the strict side as well.

For example, parodies must explicitly comment on the original work to be permitted. Modifying the lyrics in a funny way alone is not enough to be a parody.

Same with quotes: They are only permitted if they serve a scientific, informative or analytical purpose. Quotes for illustration purposes or entertainment are explicitly not permitted.

In 2021, “pastiches” were legalized which allows for some entertainment use of derivative copyrighted works but there is no legal precedent yet that defines their scope.

Fair use is a US-only concept. Western EU countries tend to have much stricter copyright laws.

Ah yes, Bundesdepublik Reutschland

Right?? I genuinely don’t understand this meme, I have never wanted to stack my coins and hold them. Do these people not have wallets?

If by “treating you right” you mean imprisoning you for speaking out against the referendum that only further strengthens the “President’s” power (like unilaterally dissolving the parliament and then being allowed to create laws at will, only being allowed to be replaced when sentenced of treason [but the President assigns the president of the constitutional court lol] and so on), then yes.

What about Maltese or Andorran politics?

To be fair, school lunches aren’t free in Germany.

Technically they could be considered free if you factor in monthly child benefits (currently at 259€ per child) or parents further qualify for social assistance.

Please provide an example that fits in the Red/Blue overlap.

That liquid is called public swimming pool water you accidentally swallow.

Wikipedia isn’t important because of its data. Rather because of the fact it is continuously updated, extended, and fixed at a gigantic scale.

If Wikipedia ever dies, its information will lose relevance by the day. After a decade or two without a similar-scale replacement, will anyone even care?

prevent historical comparisons

Which comparisons exactly are prevented?

I can say the AfD is a nazi party. I can say I believe they are very similar to the NSDAP 100 years ago. I can say they oppose the German constitution, especially the human rights provisions.

Same with Israel: I can say Israel is fascist. I can compare it to apartheid. I can say Israel has since its founding enageged in ethnic cleansing and genocide.

The only comparisons banned are those considered hyperbolic. I cannot say the AfD plans to commit genocide because they simply don’t. I cannot say Israel is repeating the Holocaust because it’s obviously not. Anything off an order of magnitude or more is iffy at best and illegal at worst.

Really though, it’s a mild annoyance at worst to comply with hate speech laws. Slightly adjust what you want to say and you’re fine. There are far, far more restrictive German laws that actually stifle free speech - such as the ban on “protective weapons” during protests combined with police violence not being prosecuted.

You didn’t specify the unit.

What if the unit was points^-200 ?

What a nice company, providing its employees with free product samples!

By fucking obviousness.

At least that’s what a court would rule, likely with more formal terminology.

I’d purchase one if it 100% reliably cleaned both me and itself after use, without any (further) user interaction.

Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.

For the record, Google returns it as the top result.

To elaborate, it’s really easy to forge “regular” coins and really attractive to forge high value coins.

For example, the 1 British Pound coin was, before the redesign, widely forged:

As of March 2014 there were an estimated 1,553 million of the original nickel-brass coins in circulation,[6] of which the Royal Mint estimated in 2014 that just over 3% were counterfeit.

(Note for any languages that use the comma as a decimal separator: 1,553 million is referring to 1.5 billion)
