Measured by?
Hi! Everyone.
Could you help me understand the following sentence?
Measured by this standard, devices to aid our memory seem particularly imperfect.
I would like to know what is missing before the word "measured". Why is the sentence starting with the past participle?
Does "by" here means "according to"? I:e Measured according to this standard.............
Thanks
