   At least with Russian names, the algorithm seems to apply a uniform probability distribution over all names in its database. It results in way too many extremely rare names. In other words, a batch of Russian names generated using this prog

   Here's a good (rather snarky) talk by Norvig about all these experts and their futuristic predictions. http://vimeo.com/33961355

   Go out and talk to some social workers, figure out what tech could actually help with. This is just silly.

   What do you mean by "locking people in"? I don't have gmail or youtube account, or picassa or any of that crap, but just use their search because it is orders of magnitude more relevant than DDG for my queries. And I consider

   The history of coin flips has no effect on the future tosses, BUT you can use the history of flips to try to infer which coin you are dealing with .

   Ask yourself a question: can you use the data (the 10 coin tosses) to update the probability of the current coin being two-headed?

    Also, the meaning of "use it" is pretty broad. Post and tag pictures of myself vs send an occasional message to someone whose email address I don't have

    That's was what I meant, sorry if I didn't express it clearly. Ditching hunting and gathering for permanent settlements and agriculture was hygienically a terrible idea.

    Actually, before we started to "poop in the hole", the rates of infectious diseases were way lower.

    I agree, "irrelevant" would be a better choice.

    To be fair, no one here mentioned anything related to the found vulnerability. Instead people seemed to have focused on their choice of SHA1 and IGE.

    I have just finished an excellent online course called "The Brief History of Humankind"[1]. It was really an eye opener for me. I always loved history, but all the arguments people made about why we need to study it never really r

    Axler is not a text in applied linear algebra, it is a book you should read after you are already familiar with both basic abstract algebra and basic linear algebra (i.e. you know how to multiply matrices etc.), it then provides a nice mo

    Alternative proof: Suppose, P = NP P² = P (NP) (subtracting (NP)²) P² - (NP)² = P (NP) - (NP)² (dividing both sides by P-(NP)): P + (NP) =(NP) since P = NP (initial assumption): 2*P = P (dividing by P): 2 = 1 which is a contradiction, there
