If you want to be a linguist with the alphabet boys and you are younger, I can tell you for a fact that joining the military as a linguist could get you there. If you keep your nose clean (much less have kept your nose clean), find yourself a place in your work, and maybe get some networking from the older folks who don't clam up to you, then you can graft onto a contractor who will hire you, because the vast majority who enter the job stay for only one enlistment and go civilian afterward. Just get your TS, make a profile on ClearanceJobs, and the offers will come rolling in. That path will take several years though until you get to an entry-level position.

I would be more focused in technology, so perhaps pick up some books on acoustic phonetics, cryptography, and dialectology depending on any other useful languages you already know, can't stress the latter enough when that's pretty much most of the ground work. here are the languages that matter:

> Category I language (Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish)
> Category II language (German)
> Category III language (Belorussian, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Persian, Polish, Russian, Serbian/Croatian, Slovak, Tagalog [Filipino], Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese)
> Category IV language (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)

t. former 35p (army linguist), feel free to ask questions

I just got done watching stranger things on netflix.

This would be awesome if we can find a way for it to exist.

consciousness is energy.

prove me wrong.

My question:

1) What is the formula to calculate the number of ways you can write out a set with two distinct elements consisting of a,b in an ordered pair?

For instance, in this case it's simply:

(a,a)
(a,b)
(b,a)
(b,b)

Additionally,

2) if you take those 4 ordered pairs to be a column of four possible ordered pairs of elements and to the right of is a mapped value of either a or b how do you calculate the different mappings?? the answer is 16, but what is the general formula for this as well?

a few examples are:


(a,a)->a
(a,b)->a
(b,a)->a
(b,b)->a

or

(a,a)->a
(a,b)->b
(b,a)->a
(b,b)->b

and so on...

Looking for generalized formulas here.

Bumping to keep this ancient thread alive.

MUST. KEEP. LEGENDARY. THREAD. ALIVE.
