Correct. That is why they call it "dark matter".
Perhaps they should have called it "mysterious matter"?
Fact is there is either "more gravity" the there should be (or can be explained by looking at the visible atter), hence the term "dark matter" (as the matter is - seems to be - invisible) -or- there is an entire unknown force working
Which it is, we don't know.
Punishment (in Germany too) for theft is based on an range of variables, including the value of the item stolen.
Nope it does not.
The only exception is 248a StGB - which is not very old and was thought to be a good idea if people steal food in a super market. Otherwise it does not matter at all, if the value is above $50, what the actual value is.
What matters are circumstances, like removing locks or breaking into houses or if it is gang crime.
Yes, under your idiotic law in this particular state.
In most of the world there is no difference.
If you put a wallet in a restaurant on the table, and forget it when you go to toilet, I take it: how should I know how much money is inside? Before I stole it, of course
Patent law in Japan works different than in the rest of the world.
And your stupid idea, just because someone else did it already: is just that, stupid.
I know an anecdote about lightbulbs. One company (A) sued another one (B) for patent infringement. It was about the windings. So A claimed B copied the improved winding that ensured better conduction or something. Company defended by saying, close to the bulb we have this "rim". Our conduction is better because of that rim, we do not know anything about windings, we do them like we thought is common sense.
So B won over A.
Keep in mind: patent disputes and similar are extremely rare in Japan. Usually companies approach each other and try to solve disputes like that over a half a year of dinner parties.
Well, as I said legal words have a meaning.
Breaking into a car is most certain similar to breaking into a house, and similar to burlaring.
However robbery means: you use threat or violence to get an item a person does not want to give away.
So, if I hold a bag under my arm, and you snatch it and run away, that is a (mild?) case of robbery. If you wait behind a corner, threaten me and make me hand it over: a not so mild form of robbery, depending if you show a weapon
If I sit on a bench and back is beside me, and you pass by, snatch it, and run away: theft.
when you've only been taught whole words,
That is not how it works.
That is until you have learned the whole alphabet. Then you learn words letter by letter, but READ them as whole words when you know the word.
So, if you have an unknown word, obviously you can not read it as a whole word, but have to decipher it.
I'd imagine that figuring out how to do it on the fly can be rather intimidating if you've never even encountered the idea before No idea what that is supposed to mean. While you learn how to read whole words, obviously you simultaneously learn how to put them together as sounds. Otherwise no one would learn reading
but I can assure you from personal experience that even in a Sefer Torah, there are spaces between the words is that modern Hebrew? I was the opinion that historically they had no spaces, like Greek and Latin or Egyptian, or cuneiform.
The AI overview is interesting. I copy/paste it here:
Ancient Hebrew did not consistently use blank spaces between words. Instead, early manuscripts often used continuous strings of letters (scriptio continua) or separated words with visual markers like dots or vertical lines. Systematic spacing between words in Hebrew texts only became standard much later
The evolution of word division in Hebrew writing highlights several distinct historical phases:
* Early Inscriptions (Before 1st Millennium BCE): Some of the earliest paleo-Hebrew inscriptions occasionally employed word dividers such as vertical lines or small dots (like the famous Mesha Stele), but many texts and everyday documents ran completely together with no spaces at all.
* The Dead Sea Scrolls Era (c. 3rd Century BCE to 1st Century CE): The transition from paleo-Hebrew scripts to the square Aramaic script brought about varied scribal habits. Manuscripts from this period show a mix of formats: some use continuous text, while others leave gaps, spaces, or dots.
* The Masoretic Text (c. 6th to 10th Century CE): Medieval scribes called Masoretes standardized the vocalization (vowel points) and cantillation (chanting notes) for the Hebrew Bible. They also introduced structured spacing, paragraph breaks (using specific spacing letters like Pe and Samekh in the text), and systemized verse markers (like the sof pasuq, represented by a colon-like symbol
* Modern Hebrew: Modern Hebrew writing uses standard, single-character spacing between words, just like Latin-based languages, and incorporates modern punctuation.
Additionally, ancient Hebrew was written with consonants only; vowel markings and other punctuation were not added until centuries later.
Well, regarding Thai. Sometimes being able to deceiver the alphabet does not help. As it is written like it was incepted 600 years ago, and the pronunciation was different. That basically you need to know two things: the real word/meaning, and the ancient writing. Or you can not read it at all at present time. Especially loanwords from other languages. That is of course not very common. I stumbled over such a word yesterday
It seems to me they could redirect the 10 figures a year they are spending on building a VR world no one wants or will use. Or did they cannibalize that already?
If you learned whole word reading, you can read every language whole word.
If you know the words.
Hebrew (at least historically, no idea about right now) and Thai for instance have no spaces between words.
Also it is a silly misconception that people who learned whole word reading can not read letters and build up a word with sound, that is a ridiculous idea.
You must have strange unions in your country.
With Free Pascal you can compiler for all majour platforms.
No idea however how the GUI library looks like.
I prefer Dart, it is more C++ - ish
We get it. You don't like Beyonce. Neither do I, but I'm not making a scene over that fact.
The "value" has nothing to do with the "crime".
You steal $1 tips I left on the table or my $2,000,000 million helicopter: same crime, same punishment.
The value of what one steals, has nothing to do with the sentence.
I steal your suitcase - I committed a crime called "theft", I get punished for theft. Not for what ever is in your suitcase. Or if the suitcase is empty.
Does not matter if I take your $2000 phone from your table in a cafeteria, or steal your $2,000,000 car in front of it: the crime is the same, and the punishment is the same.
At least in Germany.
On the other hand, if I wrangle an ice cream out of the hands of your little boy and run away with the $1 ice cream: it is robbery
