In my opinion, rising storage costs make it even less excusable that opt-out is not even an option.

The two layers seem to say, superimposed on each other:

Manny doubles back to the car, reaches into Olivia's pile of flowers and finds his gun, the one he'd left there. Something really does go down like in Heat, and he's dead. All right then… I don't hate it. No matter. Ouch!

Manny doubles back to the car, reaches into Olivia's pile of flowers and finds his gun, the… Maybe the really cool thing that happens is you see his shadow traveling through time, and that's how you know he's coming back. And although I'm pretty cool with it… Great ending, ta da.

Have there ever been sections of this that the community would consider "solved"? If not, these seem less like logic puzzles and more like complete nonsense...

Cool! Enclitic -que should _not_ be broken off as a separate word, though.

That "Stocks" icon is bizarre -- imagine a stocks app where the marker indicating the queried position on a trendline actually had that superfluous refraction effect on it.

Agreed. I started from this article a few years ago, and was frustrated enough by:

> So that means, while I know what it does, I don't really know how, since all the work is in that mysterious function.

that I spent the time to work it out myself. (answer: It arises from discretising the Laplacian -- 6 is the number of direct neighbours in 3D)

The genus of the seahorse is _Hippocampus_.

I wish it were possible to link to a particular page (e.g. the optics simulation).

For starters, a Chinese language which preserves final stops (-p, -t, -k) would be a better choice (e.g. Cantonese). These disappear completely in Mandarin, leaving rhymes (the vowel + final consonant) underspecified or ambiguous in many cases.

There is the normal notation for half-open ranges, which would lead to unbalanced brackets.

Amazing that you developed this over the course of three months! Can you drop any insight into how you pulled together the audio data?

> In this instance Standard Chinese or any sort of literary pronunciation is essentially useless to me since people aren't speaking that way

Thank you for creating this! But I'm afraid this is the misunderstanding -- words like san1 cing2 申請 are very much everyday words, even though the reading of the character is deemed literary. You should think of characters like 請 and 聽 as just having multiple in-context pronunciations, some of which you should learn, some of which you probably don't need to.

> - Characters starting with the vowel i sound more an e. Therefore, "to invite", 請 (cing2), sounds more like ceng2, and "to hear/listen", 聽 (ting1), sounds more like teng1.

As a Cantonese speaker, I love the effort here! However, the above isn't correct. This is an example of vernacular vs. literary pronunciation, and 請 has both pronunciations, depending on context. For instance, 請 is ceng2 when used as the verb "to invite", but cing2 in compounds like jiu1 cing2 邀請.

It shouldn't be conflated with the phenomenon later in that same paragraph about 懶音 "lazy pronunciation".
