Android apps can also launch responses to an intent, which is the Android operating system's way of specifying something to do without necessarily designating a particular app.
The W3C's solution is baroque: it is specifying something called "encrypted media extensions" through which the browser creates a "sandbox" within which a "content decryption module" (CDM) operates, receiving scrambled video, descrambling it and passing it out of the sandbox for display.
The internalist denies an assumption common to all of the approaches above: the assumption that in giving the content of an expression, we are primarily specifying something about that expression's relation to things in the world which that expression might be used to say things about.
"There's a reason most condos have a very generic design, and that's because you don't know who your buyer is, so you don't want to specify something that could be really unappealing," Ms. Metzler said.
I think I would say that if you're looking for a standard -- and I say that not because of the particular aspects of this election -- the Texas standard, if you wanted to specify something that was specific, gives you a pretty good standard.
First, an instinct is already expressive of a norm, since it specifies something that the animal ought to do and that it can fail to do (e.g., the seagull instinctually understands that it ought to eat fish and it can fail to find any fish to eat).
It specifies something as potentially lost, misused, unexploited, and left idle or vacant.
In both the theories of Armstrong and Rosen the "worlds" in the story are thought to be 'concrete' cosmoi, like our own.[3] A third systematic attempt to specify something like a modal fiction is worth noting here.
For instance, when the Stranger says of Theaetetus, who is currently sitting, "Theaetetus is sitting," his statement is true because it asserts something that is the case about Theaetetus; but when he says of Theaetetus (still sitting), "Theaetetus is flying," his statement is false, because "flying" specifies something different from what is the case about Theaetetus (namely, sitting).
That is, until you come across a rule that specifies something absurd: For example, that PTO can only be requested in half- or full-day increments, instead of by the hour (and half hours? Forget it!)—so you have to use four hours of that precious vacation time for a doctor's appointment, instead of just one.
Reichenbach's thought seems to be that a ⊇ b asserts that in circumstance a, b has a well defined probability, that is, a specifies something like what Ian Hacking (1965) later called a "chance setup," or as Reichenbach might have put it, implies the existence of a probability function for {b, ~b}.
