We'd need to find exactly where it "passes over", which could depend on who you ask.

No, we don't. It doesn't matter when that is, because you and I both agree that it's out there somewhere, and that at the point in time referenced, a non-chicken laid an egg and a chicken hatched out of it. That's all we need out of that point, and neither of us are disputing that part of it.

If you define a chicken as hatching from a chicken egg ("every chicken must have hatched from a chicken egg"), then the egg came first. If you define a chicken egg as an egg that was laid by a chicken ("all chicken eggs must have been laid by chickens"), then the chicken came first.

Agreed. I, personally, use the broader egg definition you reference in the last paragraph, but a definition of "chicken egg" would put the whole thing to rest, and I propose this: Not every chicken egg contains a viable chicken. We all agree that these eggs are still chicken eggs when we buy them at the supermarket, though, so my proposed definition is that a chicken egg is laid by a chicken. Otherwise, we end up with unclassified eggs in our omelettes, and we can't have that.

In such a case, we would simply need to look backward in history until we find an ancestor that doesn't meet the chicken criteria. Fowl as a clade were separated from other bird clades before the K-T Extinction Event, and many such species before the event had teeth, which means they weren't chickens.

I think the idea comes from "HDD slow," as he was impressed with the speed it was happening at, especially if you think of it as requiring data to be moved around on the disk. It's not really intuitive to think of it as just a table on the disk somewhere that says which regions belong to which partition, and having those regions be anywhere on the disk.

Ah, that explains a lot, then.

These are all island nations in Oceania that receive large amounts of their food supply from outside the country. This offloads much of the energy cost of refrigeration onto whatever nation owns the ship. I don't know if there's a good way of figuring out how much energy is spent shipping supplies to those countries, though.

That's what it appears to be. This is supported somewhat by the term "moonwise" not having a lot of historical usage, leading me to believe that it came along much later by someone who wanted a related antonym.

The only bit about the moon that seems to travel right to left are it's phase changes, and even that is because we're outside the rotation and watching along it's horizontal plane. You'll see the same thing with anything spinning clockwise in front of you: the closer edge goes right to left, the farther edge goes left to right.

It's been very difficult to find an answer for this, and I suspect it's because most of the southern hemisphere is water, and most of the rest of it was colonised by people from the northern hemisphere. As of right now, I couldnt say if there simply weren't words for that kind of rotational motion or if my google-fu simply isn't strong enough.

The best answer I've been able to find is from Indonesia, which is equatorial. The word "sunwise" translates into a phrase "from left to right" via Google Translate, but that may just be an artifact of machine translation.

That made me curious, so I tried to find a pre-clock synonym in Indonesian. The best answer I have is by translating "Sunwise", which became "dr kiri ke kanan" or "from left to right."

Which make sense, if something is going clockwise around you, that's what you'd see. No idea if that was a real phrase or an artifact of machine translation, though.

Have you tried Active or Hot? They're not exactly what you're describing, but are designed to address the same need: they show you posts with the most activity on the post or comments, weighted toward more recent activity.

No, it's not.

What the philosoraptor is saying is that literally any computer program is machine learning, which is untrue.

An expert system is a system designed to simulate an expert. It's something you would seek advice from in some way. They're used in medical diagnoses and stock market trading, for example.

You add money to your steam wallet with a credit card, spend the money, then do a charge back on the credit card.

They exist, but they're expensive. The cheapest I see is the Mercedes AMG E53 Cabriolet for around 80k.

The reasons why they're expensive are touched on in another post: hybrids are heavy because batteries are heavy, convertibles are heavy because you can't use the roof for the car's structure anymore, so a convertible hybrid is extra heavy. Solving that engineering problem makes them expensive.

Typically, people do associate the terms with different forms of power, but they're really the same thing. A motor creates motion using supplied power. That's what a car engine does: it uses the chemical energy in fuel to move pistons.

If I understand correctly about your line of work, this is consistent: the supplied power source is converted to rotational motion in the fans. Your compressor engine is also a motor.

If you have something else that turns the airflow into electricity, then you have a generator there, and will need another motor to make stuff move again.

This is also why hybrids need an electric motor and a gas engine: they have a generator that turns motion into electricity, so they need something that turns electricity back into motion.
