Not sure if you actually meant logarithmic or exponential. An exponential tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot more in tax, while a logarithmic tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot less in tax. See x^2^ versus log~2~(x) (or any logarithm base, really). The exponential (x^2^) would start slow and then increase fast, and the logarithmic one would start increasing fast and then go into increasing slowly.

They're the same picture...

There's always machine code, just writing numbers for the functions of the CPU. Or you have Esoteric programming languages like Brainfuck that doesn't use any words at all, it's just very simple instructions. There's Piet, which is a pixel colour based programming language.

To be frank; no programming languages are based on English, they are all based on logic. They are most often expressed in English, but there's really no reason one couldn't have a translation layer for every programming language. But that would make it a lot harder to find the solution if you have some fairly niche problem. Having everything in one language is simply more efficient since it doesn't fragment the questions and answers.

But a quick search gave me https://analyticsindiamag.com/6-popular-non-english-programming-languages/. The simple answer to your question thus is; No

I don't want blu-rays, I want DVD. Less anti-consumer stuff going on there (although not for lack of trying, just a bit less technical know-how at the time it was made).

It's a reference to monetary compensation often given to high level executives in large companies for when they leave for some reasons. Usually if the leaving is on a short short time frame as opposed to finding a new position they leave for voluntarily, although I don't know that much about how they actually work.

Plants feel pain and communicate with each other.

But where can I actually get some dog meat to eat? Gotta at least taste it to see if it's nice.

I believe the GDPR doesn't require quite a few of the things in that law unless the company is above a certain size. May have something to do with that.

Yeah, that was about what I thought it was...
Same with the attempt to make people call pedophiles "MAP"s instead. (For those who haven't been made aware of the abbreviation; it is meant to stand for "Minor Attracted Person". While it's a more broad term than pedophile, since it includes the other age ranges (Something like hebephile and such, I don't remember them all, learned about it from a joke a comedian told), for normal conversations I think pedophile works fine for talking about everyone attracted to people below a certain age of which we (society) deem them capable of consenting to some things)

Is... is that a pedophile advocacy group?

I care, but mostly because it's fun. Just like apparently there's no such thing as a fish, and that fruits are vegetables...
