Overall, I really can't understand why more people don't import Xiaomi phones ...

because they don't (yet) support the 800 4G band.

I'm quite certain the refrigeration system for nearing zero K is enough for needing some forklifts...

Portable, personal, transformative, and with a legacy that changed (and terminated, at time) many lives.

just look att the logo of lip :

are they any non corean/chinese corporation that still manufacture phone ?

one can discuss, at length, and some will. The initial question I asked was : " are algorithms discovered or created? ". The only sure thing I can say (and I think any honest person would say) is : It seems an easy question, but there is no easy universal answer (even without going to theories where consciousness and self are emergent illusions)

Begin with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics. Then find from which position you stand whith your "simple answer". Then study the diversity of points of view and arguments, and see if you can prove their errors. If you can do that really well, publish. You will be famous.

But saying mathematics is a language and the things described are not part of mathematics, or perhaps they are, and a poem cannot describe something... I feel you have some work to do before being able to convince everybody.

"algorithms are made up"

succint unproven "fact" for a question that can give work to philosophers for a few years.

are mathematics (of which algorythms are a small part) discovered or created ? No one has a clear answer to that question.

fine. I got to (re)learn something this evening. Thanks

Die In A Fire, oh, no!
too much CO2, and with global warming and all...
What chord did I touch ?
Of course everybody spend or waste his time as he wish. But please don't break the fabric and the principles of internet just for couch potatoes.

it want to be a monopoly of video delivery, and don't hesitate to buy privilegied treatment from Comcast, to "indemnize" Comcast, but also to increase the cost of competing with it.

If it's Verizon, it's an ISP, and everybody know those are bad.
But with Netflix, actively engaging again net neutrality and asking DRM in HTTP, it is also bad.
So, the public is victim of two would-be/actual monopolists.

The solution, I think, is no streaming.

On a side note, video is really overrated.
Days are only 24 hours, you use a few sleeping, you have better things to do than watching movies the rest of the time.

" USA and France are the only Western countries that has fewer active cell phones than people "

false for both, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_mobile_phones_in_use

Curiosity killed the cat
