I'm a CS major and I passed real analysis with a decent grade on my first year. (The course was provided by math department)

How does it feel to be even dumber than a Computer Scientist?

>>8478488
>doing real analysis in 3rd year
???

>>8478488
It's the easiest thing. Practice some more until you understand it and you will laugh at yourself for ever thinking it's hard.

dawkins is a fucking sophist

He's talking about taxonomy, which is essentially pseudoscience.

{...,493, 509, 514, 518, 524, ...} is it correct?

>>8478510
oddly enough, all apply the rule except for 493

what rule did you apply?

>>8478462
Bump

depends on the environment, usually hydroelectric power

Burning wood

>>8478220
This, geothermal, and nuclear.

Animal agriculture, and especially cattle farming, is a major contributor to deforestation in Latin America and in general is a very intensive land use. It can take nearly 900 gallons of water to produce a single pound of beer, and cows release large amounts of methane into the air. Disposing of animal waste is also difficult, and in many places it's done simply by having artificial shit lagoons that have a tendency to seep into groundwater sources (more common with hogs than cows, depending on the location and method of farming).

As to the meat is unhealthy point I think red meat has been labeled a carcinogen by the WHO but I dunno if that's a meme or not. Certainly it is possible to be healthy without eating red meat, and most dietary studies seem to indicate that diets high in veggies, nuts, whole grains and fish and low in red meat are the healthiest.

You could probably eat meat as a staple and be healthy depending on exercise levels and the rest of your diet, but reducing meat consumption is a positive for the evnironment in addition to any personal health benefits

>beer
Beef I meant.

Also I didn't mention that large scale animal raising also tends to exacerbate the problems of crop monoculture we have in the USA, but I dunno if that is true worldwide or if it is inherently bad so I didn't mention it above.

>>8478151
don't worry about it. Now that trump is elected president we don't have to worry about the environment any more

They travel at the speed of light. Impossible if they have mass due to relativity.

>>8478072
Photons also have momentum, which necessitates that they have mass.

Her brain looks pretty huge compared to her body mass OP. I mean look how low her ears are. She's probably a fucking genius in fact, an evil one.

>>8477842
the same reason whales arent all the smartest creatures on earth

>>8477842
Just like how magpies are more intelligent than cattle, despite having 1/100th brain mass.

You're thought experiment a shit.

>>8477711
The rod would break, or bend until the tip is within a sub-light orbital range.

pretty veritasium discussed this in one of his videos. The conclusion is even if you could invent some super strong material that'll NOT BREAK no matter what, it still won't break c.

There is nothing stopping one "kind" from turning into another because "kind" is not a genetic limit, merely a categorical meme.

>>8477601
Example please.

>>8477604
Any complex living creature alive today is an example, as it has evolved from something not of its "kind." We have traced the changes from protozoa to man in a continuous line of morphological changes and corresponding genetic changes. We don't find neat little bins, instead we find a massive tree whose roots connect all the way back. So this idea of "kinds" is both empirically and theoretically false. If you accept that genetic change can accumulate to turn one species into another then you must also accept that one "kind" can turn into another as there is no difference in the mechanism, only the amount of accumulated changes.

It's going to be me. Couple weeks into calculus 1 now, doing well, already past the chain rule and beyond. Quotient rule was a joke. Product rule remains my specialty.

I ask my professor his thoughts on quantum mechanics and partial derivatives. He's impressed i know about the subject. We converse after class for some time, sharing mathematical insights; i can keep up. He tells me of great things ahead like series and laplacians. I tell him i already read about series on wikipedia. He is yet again impressed at my enthusiasm. What a joy it is to have your professor visibly brighten when he learns of your talents.

And now I sit here wondering what it must be like to be a brainlet, unable to engage your professor as an intellectual peer.

All of the deep conversations you people must miss out on because you aren't able to overcome the intellectual IQ barrier that stands in the way of your academic success... it's so sad.

My professor and I know each other on first name basis now, but i call him Dr. out of respect.

And yet here you brainlets sit, probably havent even made eye contact with yours out of fear that they will gauge your brainlet IQ levels.

A true shame, but just know it is because i was born special that i am special. I can't help being a genius, nor can my professor.

Two of a kind is two flocks in a bush.

>Why is why always an interrogative?
:^D

>>8477229
what do you mean?

>>8477223

go read a book fagit

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'finality.' What is your native language? Maybe something is lost in translation.

>>8477211
i mean finality as ultimate goal
i dont think this makes any easyer to understand, but anyway
its portuguese btw

>>8477219
Ah, I see. I think the English equivalent would be 'end.'

'Telos,' in Greek philosophy.

>>8477182

Can OP not be a JPEG fag?

>>8477182
How many fucking times has that picture been saved

>>8477053
Do you understand what the term frequency means?

you mean like a sharp vibrator ?

>>8477058
No, like, sending a frequency or something through the materials of the blade wich "separates" the bonds of the atoms to make cutting easier.
