Uh I had to quickly look at Wikipedia but apparently the reason it’s transcribed with Ph is:

At the time these letters were borrowed, there was no Greek letter that represented /f/: the Greek letter phi ‘Φ’ then represented an aspirated voiceless bilabial plosive /ph/, although in Modern Greek it has come to represent /f/.)

And so out of the various vav variants in the Mediterranean world, the letter F entered the Roman alphabet attached to a sound which the Greeks did not have.

So Greeks pronounced Phi differently from F and somehow someone decided that it should be transcribed as Ph because it sounded different from the transcriber’s sound of F. Maybe the Phi symbol just looked like a P.

Smh just learn Ancient Greek:

philosophy <=> φιλοσοφία <=> Phi Iota Lambda Omicron Sigma Omicron Phi Iota Alpha

How do you know they’re not in the toilet stall next to yours?

Counter-counterpoint:

Tommy Tallarico must be devastated

Do Italian professors know their students’ names? Over here, two countries to the North, no professor knows anything about their students.

J is in lower case too, the line on the right of the i is shorter than the others.

Placebos work even when you knows it’s a placebo though. Pointing out something is a placebo is important because many are at best overpriced scams (homeopathy) and at worst actively harmful (chiropracty). The culture behind many placebos is also rife with pseudoscience and advocates against seeking out genuine care, so you should ensure nobody gets invested into placebos past a certain point.

One can make an informed decision regarding taking placebos if and only if one knows it’s a placebo, else one will be scammed and/or harmed.

This is the GutHub project by the way:

Clearly, a project whose last commit was 12 years ago should be more than enough evidence that she hacked WorldCat.

Killing 50% of any one people is genocide, right? For example, the Nazis killed up to 50% of European Romani people and it is classified as a genocide.

Let’s assume killing 50% of n peoples is genocide.

Since killing 50% of n peoples is genocide, killing 50% of n+1 peoples must also be genocide, else a number N would exist such that killing 50% of N - 1 peoples is genocide but killing 50% of N peoples is not. The existence of such a number N would be quite contradictory, as it would imply one could undo genocide by killing more people. Additionally, if one were to first kill 50% of N - 1 people and then kill 50% of one more people some time later, both events would be classified as genocide, since killing 50% of one people is assumed to be genocide.

Therefore, Thanos did in fact commit genocide.

Depends on the language, though they’ll probably pronounce it in a way disregarding every language with ö’s rules.

Not the Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft though, as it’s referring to a company which was established prior to 1996.

It’s only 3 layers deep, shame on you and your laziness

I will await the 100 recursive layers SVG version later today, do not disappoint me (please).

Yeah? The swastika is illegal too, yet Buddhists and museums can display it.

The goal of emulation is to make the console work for every game that was released on it.

After all, if one or more games don’t work, the emulation cannot be accurate. And with imaccurate emulation, how can you ensure your other games are correctly emulated? In fact, if you know the emulator isn’t perfect - which it isn’t if some games have issues - how can you know any game is correctly emulated? You can test the game but it would take an infinite time to test everything. If you only do a few runs of the game, how do you know you haven’t missed anything?

In other terms: The language L containing every perfectly emulated game is undecidable.

The problem is with the development ceasing. The source code will remain, but if there’z no dedicated team developing bugs will not be fixed and features will not be added.

I didn’t believe the giveaway was real at first but the free iPhone just arrived!

Yeah, it’s just the triangle inequality.

If you have finitely many problems, after purchasing finitely many copies, there should only be one problem left. If this problem isn’t solved with another copy, you’re out of luck and have to come up with the solution yourself.

If you have infinitely many problems then you shouldn’t complain, for you’ll solve infinitely many problems per copy.

How much are you (plural) even speeding to have such expensive tickets?

Or do you get a $150+ ticket for driving 70 in a 60 zone?
