And I do get a larger royalty if you get it (them!) direct from Lulu. The dead tree version's cover has two photographs taken by me (... not that that's any reason for getting it!).
For the dead tree version, which I prefer...
Do you receive a higher royalty if purchased from Lulu? It is at a lower price on Amazon.
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on September 13, 2023, 01:40:10 PMI feel like Flatland was fun, but when I tried to guess at how our reality might correspond to a fourth-dimensional being, my brain became a noodle.Flatland is one of the stories (? essays? allegories?) that kindled my love of mathematics. When I was 13 I could not grasp multi-dimensions - but by the time I was 15 I could easily visualise up to five dimensions ... and now (with a degree in mathematics from UCL) I can grasp the idea of spaces with many, many dimensions - but I do not "visualise" them any more - they have become more abstract - and so much more powerful. If you really want a noodle brain <grin> then you should (try to) read some of my draft papers covering the mathematical structure in the physics of the first 600 seconds of the universe...

My suggestion means that no-one has to chase back to previous legislation unless the old law/clause (etc.) is mentioned in the new law. If a new law mentions an old one, then it is a simple act of editing the record of the old law - which can be done by someone other than the instigators of the new law. This process makes the legal code even clearer.
I read this a couple of times, but don't quite get it, I'm sorry. Why would this force people to be better about checking for broken cross-references? It's only human that we're going to sometimes miss some, and I'm not sure moving away from a clear legal code in a single law would be helpful.
Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on February 04, 2023, 02:50:38 PMI would be advising the Free Dems to support this, but I can't abide by this provision:QuoteFURTHERMORE, the Scribe is directed to eliminate from el Lexhatx all "empty" provisions, as when a provision has been deleted but left empty, and to renumber the Titles in question in a sensible fashion.
As I've said before, but I can't find where, there are too many places where cross-references in El Lex have been rendered inoperative due to renumberings. "This section intentionally left black" works well in some cases.
Quote from: Üc R. Tärfâ on February 06, 2023, 06:29:51 PMA cross-referencing fix now to repair the law might be a good endeavour.
However in the future "renumbering provisions" in bills should be simply avoided to avoid (sic!) generating many of those broken references.
