Not a mathematician, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t necessarily true. What if L is -1 and f(x) = x^2? Also I think your function has to be continuous.

I think it was Charlie Chaplin who said that the best jokes make you first laugh and then cry.

It could be a different stratum of society. Maybe like politicians and businessmen. They say ~5% of Indians have iPhones, but I only know two people with iPhones (and one was second-hand).

I don’t think SMIC refuses to sell to non-Chinese companies. Nokia mostly uses Unisoc chips, which are made in China (not sure if by SMIC).

But if they did, it would be a pretty serious problem, since I don’t think SMIC even has a viable competitor in the entry-level smartphone chip market.

They have microSD, audio jack, okay chip (Snapdragon 4 Gen 2) and RAM (4-8 GB), replaceable batteries and screens, and HMD has pledged spare parts for seven years. That’s a good start, but it’s a bit overpriced for its specs and currently only available in Europe, so it probably won’t sell very well.

Apple is leading in a lot of countries despite Android being the dominant OS, because the Android userbase is divided among different manufacturers. See China, for example.

Govt jobs in India have 30-40 days, which is 6-8 weeks. But the private sector will riot if you try mandating anything close to that.

The second image in the lead is showing the list of countries who recognised Palestine after the episode in question. Based on the title, you need the list of countries who recognised before.

And yes, we recognised them in 1988.

Thanks!

I’m using data from StatCounter, as mentioned in the figure. See Belarus and Russia. They could be wrong; their figures are based on website hits.

Fixed. Thanks!

LibreOffice + me trying to fix things and making it worse + svg to png conversion

You overestimate my artistic abilities. I took the default colour palette LibreOffice gave, and replaced a few with ones that clash less.

I asked how much corn or sorghum they eat. None,the children don’t like either.

Isn’t niacin found in meat and fish? What do corn and sorghum have to do with it?

Why do aircraft parts need to be sterile?

I see. I’ve only used ethanol for disinfection, and it was always methylated.

being pushed into unsafe diet and exercise plans, often with very high pressure coming from parents and coaches

That’s true of any sport? I agree that sports should be more fun and less competitive, at least for children, but why single out gymnastics? At least there’s no contact like in wrestling or even football.

I mean, the biggest (or rather, only) reason I still use WhatsApp is that it works with (other people’s) WhatsApp.

lab grade ethanol

That’s usually methylated spirit. It probably won’t kill you, but you’ll lose your vision.
