### Instruction:
Write a paragraph about the word "woman".
### Response:
| The word "woman" is a gender construct to be contrasted with the word "man". This word has come under recent scrutiny due to the increasing significance of the LGBTQIA+ community and their aims to be seen, expressed, or acknowledged within their communities.

What are some common software pricing models? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What are some common software pricing models?
### Response:
| There are many types of software pricing models, but broadly they can be divided into three categories: perpetual, subscription, and consumption.
Perpetual software pricing models, also known as perpetual licensing models, allow the software to be purchased for a one-time fee. Typically the buyer has nearly unlimited use of the software in perpetuity. If updates to the software are required, a separate software maintenance package may be purchased.
Subscription software allows unlimited use of the software for a predetermined period, often 1 year or 3 years, for a price. Updates to the software are often included in the price of the subscription. At the end of the subscription term, the buyer usually has the option to renew their subscription.
Consumption-based software allows the buyer to pay for their actual usage of the software during a period of time, for example monthly. In this type of arrangement, the actual usage can vary from period to period, resulting in customer charges that vary as well. Some customers like knowing that they will only pay for what they use, while other customers dislike the unpredictability of their bills. |

Is it possible to raise your child trilingual? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Is it possible to raise your child trilingual?
### Response:
| Yes. However there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Parents should only talk to their children in their mother tongue. A language is not only a way to communicate, it transmits also tradition, culture, emotions, mindset and many other habits that are typical in a specific country. Parents should not mix languages as children need to learn that a specific person has to be addressed in a specific language, otherwise they learn that languages can be mixed. The passive skills are always bigger than the active language skills, don't give up too early! They will make use of their passive language skills at some point. It is easier to learn languages if you also listen to music, watch movies in different languages and have friends that speak those languages. Remember that every person is different. Even if you raise different kids the same way, some of them might learn languages easier than others. Languages are a gift that will always help you to understand other cultures, people and mindsets and expand your horizons. |

What is proteomics? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is proteomics?
### Response:
| Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins. Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, with many functions such as the formation of structural fibers of muscle tissue, enzymatic digestion of food, or synthesis and replication of DNA. In addition, other kinds of proteins include antibodies that protect an organism from infection, and hormones that send important signals throughout the body.
The proteome is the entire set of proteins produced or modified by an organism or system. Proteomics enables the identification of ever-increasing numbers of proteins. This varies with time and distinct requirements, or stresses, that a cell or organism undergoes.
Proteomics is an interdisciplinary domain that has benefited greatly from the genetic information of various genome projects, including the Human Genome Project. It covers the exploration of proteomes from the overall level of protein composition, structure, and activity, and is an important component of functional genomics.
Proteomics generally denotes the large-scale experimental analysis of proteins and proteomes, but often refers specifically to protein purification and mass spectrometry. Indeed, mass spectrometry is the most powerful method for analysis of proteomes, both in large samples composed of millions of cells and in single cells. |

How can I make work meetings more efficient? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How can I make work meetings more efficient?
### Response:
| You will have to find the right techniques for your type of meeting, but there are some useful generic techniques that you can try. Watch the time: keep the meeting as short as possible; time-box each discussion; and make sure each person gets to speak. Be purposeful: set a clear agenda beforehand; only ask important stakeholders to join; and define takeaways and action items at the end. Prepare beforehand: before the meeting, share materials for people to read or comment on, as appropriate, in order to save meeting time for important discussions. If the meeting is simply not useful, you should eliminate it. |

Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

Does my Myers-Briggs personality type determine my long-term career potential?
### Response:
| No, your Myers-Briggs personality type does not predict your career-path. Your personality is a fundamental part of who you are. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a shorthand way to describe your level of introversion versus extroversion, sensitivity to perceptual queues, and the way you evaluate new information. While these factors could individually contribute to your success or failure in a given career path, none of them can statistically predict success or failure. |

You observe a participant not controlling the descent of the weights. You suggest he slowly return the weights rather than letting them drop quickly. A day or two later, he reports that he felt more sore than usual after that workout. What accounts for this? Is it safe for him to exercise today?
### Response:
| He is feeling more sore than usual because likely the weight was too heavy for him, and he was not able to control the descent of the weights properly, leading him to overexert himself in the exercise. He may want to rest a bit longer before returning to workout as normal, as he does not want to injure himself in the long run. In the process of not performing the seated leg press as he should (in a safe manner), he risks overusing his muscles, and maybe even tearing a muscle or ligament in the long run. |

-Be conscious of your surroundings, don’t be too distracted as you are still in an active environment and animals can react to you. |

Tell me about the Mughal Empire?
### Input:
The Mughal Empire was an early-modern empire that controlled much of the Indian subcontinent between the 16th and 19th centuries.[10] For some two hundred years, the empire stretched from the outer fringes of the Indus river basin in the west, northern Afghanistan in the northwest, and Kashmir in the north, to the highlands of present-day Assam and Bangladesh in the east, and the uplands of the Deccan Plateau in South India.[11]It included present day areas of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

The Mughal imperial structure, however, is sometimes dated to 1600, to the rule of Babur's grandson, Akbar.[13] This imperial structure lasted until 1720, shortly after the death of the last major emperor, Aurangzeb,[14][15] during whose reign the empire also achieved its maximum geographical extent. Reduced subsequently to the region in and around Old Delhi by 1760, the empire was formally dissolved by the British Raj after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. |

### Instruction:
How many inhabitants of Lone Pine survived as a result of the earthquake? Tell me how you came to that conclusion.
### Input:
The earthquake occurred on a Tuesday morning and leveled almost all the buildings in Lone Pine and nearby settlements.[4] Of the estimated 250–300 inhabitants of Lone Pine, 27 are known to have perished and 52 of the 59 houses were destroyed. One report states that the main buildings were thrown down in almost every town in Inyo County. About 130 kilometers (81 mi) south of Lone Pine, at Indian Wells, adobe houses sustained cracks. Property loss has been estimated at $250,000 (equivalent to $5,654,861 in 2021). As in many earthquakes, adobe, stone and masonry structures fared worse than wooden ones which prompted the closing of nearby Camp Independence which was an adobe structure destroyed in the quake.
### Response:

As in many earthquakes, adobe, stone and masonry structures fared worse than wooden ones which prompted the closing of nearby Camp Independence which was an adobe structure destroyed in the quake. | It is estimated that between 223 and 273 inhabitants of Lone Pine survived the earthquake.
The passage shows that there was "an estimated 250–300 inhabitants of Lone Pine" and that "27 are known to have perished". If we subtract 27 from 250, you get 223, and if we subtract 27 from 300, we get 273. Therefore, it can be estimated that the number of inhabitants that survived the earthquake is between 223 and 273. |

Given this mechanism that the Tesla Model Y car uses to heat the interior cabin, what are some pros and cons of this design? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Given this mechanism that the Tesla Model Y car uses to heat the interior cabin, what are some pros and cons of this design?
### Input:
The Model Y is Tesla's first car to use a heat pump instead of electric resistance for interior cabin heating. Some electric vehicles from other manufacturers, including the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, BMW i3 EV, Jaguar I-Pace, Audi e-tron, and Kia Niro, had already implemented heat pumps. In cold weather, the Model Y heat pump can be up to 300% more efficient than other Tesla cars' use of electric resistance heating. Because of this, the Model Y should be more energy efficient than other Tesla cars in cold weather. Electric cars can lose 40% or more of their range in cold weather (at ambient temperatures below 20 °F (−7 °C)) when heating the interior cabin.

Apache Spark has its architectural foundation in the resilient distributed dataset (RDD), a read-only multiset of data items distributed over a cluster of machines, that is maintained in a fault-tolerant way. The Dataframe API was released as an abstraction on top of the RDD, followed by the Dataset API. In Spark 1.x, the RDD was the primary application programming interface (API), but as of Spark 2.x use of the Dataset API is encouraged even though the RDD API is not deprecated. The RDD technology still underlies the Dataset API.

Why is pricing important in the overall strategy of a product? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why is pricing important in the overall strategy of a product?
### Response:
| When different profit levers like price, variable cost, fixed cost, volume of goods sold are compared, studies show that a 1% improvement in price can create the maximum operating profit improvement of 11.5% compared to only 2.3% through fixed costs. This goes to show that pricing can have a monumental impact on the bottom line.
This can be achieved by understanding different pricing strategies and how they can be executed through pricing tactics. The different pricing strategy includes using - 1. Cost-side factors (like fixed, variable costs, incremental break-even analysis); 2. Customer-side factors (like Economic Value Analysis (EVA); Price Elasticity of Demand; Measuring willingness to pay) 3. Competitive environment factors.
Based on the business context, these strategies can be implemented with tacts like price discrimination (e.g., bundling); non-linear pricing; price promotions (e.g., hi-lo pricing); and most of all understanding consumer psychology with respect to pricing (anchoring effect, decoy pricing, compromise effect, charm pricing, etc). |

### Instruction:
What is a brief summary of the book, "The Well-Educated Mind, A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had", written by Susan Wise Bauer?
### Response:
| Susan Wise Bauer took inspiration from Mortimer Adler's book, "How to Read A Book", in writing her book, "The Well-Educated Mind, A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had." One of the highlights of the book is a reading list of classics from six genres of writing. The six genres Bauer focuses upon are novels, autobiography, history and politics, drama, poetry and natural sciences. She describes how to approach each genre as a reader, how to ask good questions of the author and how to formulate your own viewpoint of the topic. For each genre, when presenting the book list, she gives you a summary of each book, the best revision of the book to read and her initial impressions of the authors viewpoint. Bauer's book is not meant to be read from cover to cover, but to be a guide as you work through the reading list of each genre. Reading Bauer's book is like having your own college level professor guiding you through the classics. At the end of this guide, if you have read every book on Bauer's recommended list, you will be able to consider yourself well read. |

Why is it important to be passionate about one's choice of career? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why is it important to be passionate about one's choice of career?
### Response:
| Passion is infectious. When you show passion in what you do, it rubs off on others around you, and brings out their best. If you like what you do, it is easy to get up every morning and go to work. Conversely, if you intentionally pick your career mostly for the money, it gets old pretty soon. Finally, if you do not love what you do, it is unlikely that you will stick to it for long. Burn out rates are high in high stress careers. |

Featuring an ensemble cast, the show portrays the events leading up to the beginning of the decline of House Targaryen, a devastating war of succession known as the "Dance of the Dragons".
House of the Dragon received a straight-to-series order in October 2019, with casting beginning in July 2020 and principal photography starting in April 2021 in the United Kingdom.

The first season received highly positive reviews, with praise towards its character development, visual effects, writing, score by Ramin Djawadi and performances (particularly Considine, Smith, D'Arcy, Alcock, and Cooke). However, the pacing, specifically of the time jumps, and the dark lighting of some scenes were criticized. The series premiere was watched by over 10 million viewers across the linear channels and HBO Max on the first day, the biggest in HBO's history. In January 2023, the series won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama. |

### Instruction:
Why some people are more stressed than others and how to manage stress?
### Response:
| Stress handling is a trait which comes naturally for some people, meaning they have it in their genetics. Some are born with this quality to manage hard and tricky situations with a cool behaviour, but for others it is tricky and they really need to train themselves to certain situations.When a person is stressed, it is always best they share their feelings with someone they trust.In a stressful situation, the natural response of our body is the release of Cortisol , which is the primary hormone which gets released and a good physical exercise routine can help in managing it.Prolonged stress leads to complicated issues such as Anxiety and Depression which could be managed by practicing some relaxation techniques such as Yoga and Deep breathing. |

Can I unilaterally change terms of a contract? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Can I unilaterally change terms of a contract?
### Response:
| The general rule is no. If a party were allowed to unilaterally change the term of a contract, there may be no value in having a contract in the first place as an obvious change would be to change what a party has promised in the contract to little or nothing at all. This would erode any value of having a contract in the first place. However, there are contracts that allow a party to unilaterally change certain terms of the contract but they should not take away the substantial benefit of the contract from the other party or parties. If a party has agreed to allow the other to vary any of the terms of the contract, this is not ideal and the implications would depend on the extent and nature of the variations made. It is therefore prudent for both parties to avoid provisions to allow unilateral changes to the contract or at the very least, expressly limit the scope of unilateral changes. |

Given this paragraph about video game consoles, what was the first console?
### Input:
The history of video game consoles, both home and handheld, had their origins in the 1970s. The concept of home consoles used to play games on a television set was founded by the 1972 Magnavox Odyssey, first conceived by Ralph H. Baer in 1966. Handheld consoles bore out from electro-mechanical games that had used mechanical controls and light-emitting diodes (LED) as visual indicators. Handheld electronic games had replaced the mechanical controls with electronic and digital components, and with the introduction of Liquid-crystal display (LCD) to create video-like screens with programmable pixels, systems like the Microvision and the Game & Watch became the first handheld video game consoles, and fully realized by the Game Boy system.

Please explain the collectability impact on revenue recognition under ASC 606 guidance | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Please explain the collectability impact on revenue recognition under ASC 606 guidance
### Response:
| We assess the collectability criterion at the beginning of a contract. If it is met, we will take revenue. If it is not met, revenue contract does not exist, so there is no revenue. Over the contract term, there is no need to reassess the collectability for revenue recognition unless a significant change in facts and circumstances results in a significant deterioration in the customer’s creditworthiness. But we will not reverse revenue previously recognized. Accounts Receivable team can book bad debt allowance reserve and write off for non-payment. If the reassessment concludes that collectability criterion is not met, we need to stop future revenue. If the collectability criterion is still met, we will continue to take revenue, and Accounts Receivable can book bad debt allowance. If we conclude that a contract does not exist because the collectability criterion is not met, we don’t record a receivable for consideration that we have not yet received for the services we have already transferred to the customer. For the cash received, we recognize a deposit liability and record no related revenue. If the contract existence criteria is met upon reassessment, we would recognize a cumulative catch-up to revenue for the services already provided. |

What is a probability distribution? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is a probability distribution?
### Input:
In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for an experiment.[1][2] It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events (subsets of the sample space).[3]
For instance, if X is used to denote the outcome of a coin toss ("the experiment"), then the probability distribution of X would take the value 0.5 (1 in 2 or 1/2) for X = heads, and 0.5 for X = tails (assuming that the coin is fair). Examples of random phenomena include the weather conditions at some future date, the height of a randomly selected person, the fraction of male students in a school, the results of a survey to be conducted, etc.[4]

How should I think about ways to arrange a desk in a home office | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How should I think about ways to arrange a desk in a home office
### Response:
| There are several ways to arrange a desk in a home office. A few guiding principles (based on the space and how you'll use your desk) can help guide you along the way.
* If you're frequently on camera for video calls you'll want to consider what people will see in your background. Avoid clutter and too much distraction, but also feel free to use that part of the office to express yourself professionally. An interesting painting or a few professional accolades can be a good conversation starters.
* Bright windows can be great for creativity but having these directly behind you when on video calls can give you a whitewashed look that's not ideal. Ideally, a window would be in front of you to not only cast your face in a good light, but also to give you a nice view as you work. If you can't position a window on front of your desk, you could always invest in good artificial lighting (e.g., a ring light) to help with video calls.
* Avoid having positioning your desk so your back is directly in front of the office entrance. If you have line of site to all entrances / exits you'll likely feel more in control while working, which can make you more productive.
* Position your desk so you have easy access to everything you'd need for work. Frequently used reference materials, papers, writing supplies, etc. should all be within arms length so as not to disrupt your "flow" while working. |

### Instruction:
Extract the two main component of C++ in a bulleted list based on this passage.
### Input:
The C++ language has two main components: a direct mapping of hardware features provided primarily by the C subset, and zero-overhead abstractions based on those mappings. Stroustrup describes C++ as "a light-weight abstraction programming language [designed] for building and using efficient and elegant abstractions";[14] and "offering both hardware access and abstraction is the basis of C++. Doing it efficiently is what distinguishes it from other languages."[61] C++ inherits most of C's syntax.
