Hey! I've been searching this for a week or two and I can't find it. I think I saw it around 6 months ago.

It's a talk, maybe in a TED/TEDx format, about how languages try to minimize misunderstanding when you suddenly drop a word or sound. Which is why some languages have declinations, others force an explicit subject, etc.

I think the speaker was a male and he gave many examples. Mainly English, German and Japanese.

It was really interesting and I'm dying to find it.

Hi!
I saw these creatures in Planet Earth's 9th chapter:

    I've been trying to identify them for the last hour and so far I got nothing. First I started looking for similar patterns in different types of rays, but more than a pattern it looks like it's potruding from its back. I googled sea invertebrates, sea crawlers, sand dollars, flat sea urchins, but I don't think they are the creatures in the photo. I didn't find a taxonomy tree that helped me classify it also.

Can you help me find this species? Or point me to a resource that can help me do so.

Thank you!

There are some things that I know to be true (then cognizable) but I can't prove to someone else that they are. For example, I can't prove to you that I'm conscious and not a philosophical zombie. I'll concede, however, that I do not know how to prove to myself that I am conscious (maybe Descartes' cogito ergo sum helps me here?).
There are some things that can't be shared or adequately transmitted. I can't tell how pain feels, I can't tell if your red is the same as my red (an basically all things qualia).

Statement: Since both classes of things exist (that are cognizable to me) but can't be proved to someone else or otherwise transmitted, then Knowledge, if it exists, can't be

Hey.

My phone's power button is acting up and I wanted to disassemble the device, as suggested here and a couple of videos. But honestly, these screws are too tight. I haven't found anyone else with this problem. Do you have any advice on how to proceed? I have successfully removed one of them, but can't deal with the other five. Furthermore, if I keep trying to unscrew them with sheer force, I'll damage the heads and the problem will become worse.

Thanks for your attention!

Hello! Recently I installed linux on a laptop and this weird graphic glitch occurs, where the screen flickers a bit and some noise bars appear and disappear. Microsoft Windows works fine.

I don't know what causes this. I've already tried installing drivers, messing with compiz and xrandr (even broke xorg once!). I tried other linux distros (so far Fedora, Ubuntu and Elementary). it happens on all of them. Also, if I press CTRL+ALT+F2 to show up the console, it still happens. Some websites cause it more than others.

Ubuntu version is 14.04. System specs are:

4GB RAM, i5-5200 @ 2.2 x4, Intel HD 5500 (Broadwell GT2)

Here is the output of lspci:

Qué pasó con el grupo de FB? Murió hace un par de semanas y no vuelve más. Perdí muchas imágenes de los Simpsons :(

Hello! I'm studying multivariate calculus and I got along just fine with double integrals and polar coordinates. However, when we have to use cylindrical and spherical coordinates to determine the limits of integration I have trouble. Integrating isn't much problem, getting to write the correct integral in the first place is.

If you have a resource where I can learn more, please link me to it! I've read several chapters from different books and a few youtube videos, but they only do the "easy" stuff. Finding the volume of a sphere, the mass of a cylinder limited by planes, etc.

For example, take this problem from Apostol's Calculus:
·Find the volume of a solid limited by the sp

Sometimes I have to play ornaments while the sustain pedal is being pushed down. I try to make it sound as cleanly as possible, but it doesn't always come out that way: it sounds muffled or dirty (particularly with semitones).
Can you suggest me anything to improve my technique? Should I just stop using the pedals on these sections? Play the ornaments slower and louder?

What does your music station look like?

Post a picture! Doesn't matter if it's a grand, upright, digital or even if the closest thing you have to a piano is a marimba :)

Hello knights from r/buildapc, we meet again.

I have a single 4gb RAM stick, and I want to buy one more so I have 8GB. However, I can't find the exact model I have, and I was wondering if using another model would have any trouble.
If I buy a new one it'd be the same or higher frequency of course, although different model. I've read that it's kind of risky because it may not run right.
This is the stick I have: KHX1600C9D
This is the one I found at a local store: HX316C10F

I read somewhere that it depends on how your system handles it, so here are my relevant parts:
