Was that a thing though (in the west) as the dowry was usually brought by the womans family? Wasn't it more like the womans family bying the son in order to have someone to support them. Trades was not really a thing for most people throughout history so the ability to toil in the fields were of paramount importance as the only way to support the family.

When synchronizing two nodes A and B, where there is a persistent difference in the travel times A->B and B->A, how do you achieve synchronization when knowing A->B->A or B->A->B?

Excellent explanation, thanks.

That seems to translate well to my layman intuition. Would there actually be a health benefit with respect to cancer (or pathogenic disease) from this "T cell migration"? Is there a sense in which migration of T cells spread information to different parts of the body or is this just not how it works?

If they return to baseline in 30 minutes, was there even an increase to begin with? What is the mean lifetime of those cytotoxic cells, and would one expect such a decay in so short a time?

I understand that it is a very dynamic system but 30 minutes seems very short to me. So is the return a die-off or where do they go?

I have seen plenty of miss-use of solutions of the following though:

1. Struggle with exercise.

2. Check proposed solution.

3. Thinking that your understanding of the proposed solution constitutes an ability to solve it yourself.

This is analogous to the original problem, where you assume the ability to follow reasoning translates to being able to reproduce it.

The main use of exercises without solutions is to try and force students to go to their teachers and interact, so that someone can try to pinpoint what exactly the missunderstanding is.

This can probably be better done with assigned homework. However grading can be time consuming, so trying to filter so that only those that have problem with specific exercises come to see you is one way to try and get some time economy going.

Also yeah. This is better in course specific work sheets than in books, since books should be self contained enough to be usable without the guidence of TAs or professors.

Asking "Can you cite some legal precedence for lemon law cases?" gives an answer containing

"In California, for example, the California Supreme Court in the case of Lemon v. Kurtzman (1941) held that a vehicle which did not meet the manufacturer's express warranty was a "lemon" and the manufacturer was liable for damages."

I dont think that case exist, there is a first amendment case Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971) though.

I can't find any reference to Kurtzman or 1941 in any of the references. I think the answer is that the AI generating the text, and the code supplying the references are distinct and do not interact.

Yes. But his point is that what we have been doing is more like taking on credit card debt to spend on booze than taking a bank loan to buy machinery. And assuming that being the case, your statement completely misses the mark.

Certainly people who suffer a miscarriage when trying to have children suffer deeply. It is clear then that they lost more than some human tissue.

Also if you beat a woman causing her to misscarry, then we look upon that quite a lot harsher than if no miscarriage occured.

In general we don't tend to value human life or rights when it is inconvenient to do so though.
