The real problem is that its possible to book meeting rooms back to back when there's supposed to be decompression time in between.

I'm tempted to try it. My use case right now is a set of documents which are annual financial and statutory disclosures of a large institution. Every year they are formatted / organized slightly differently which makes it enormous

This might actually be something very valuable to me. I have a bunch of documents right now that are annual statutory and financial disclosures of a large institute, and they are just barely differently organized from each year to the next

I was going off the fact the article linked to an archive page of the New York Public Library, so I assumed they had some connection to New York and decided to make a pun when naming their kid. Its more common than you'd think. I used

Right, but there's nothing preventing sending the freight service on the LIRR main line tunnels (other than it possibly getting in the way of passenger service, which can be avoided by doing it in the middle of the night). These freigh

Sure, but there's nothing in principle which prevents just running a freight op on the commuter lines through penn station other than possibly getting in the way of the passenger schedule, but that can be solved by scheduling it betwee

There is absolutely a bridge or tunnel that takes a train to Queens. Its called Hells gate. Or the East River tunnels if you're ok with routing your freight ops through Penn Station (massive short cut). One of those mostly invisible th

Its the name for the information bits you don't have. More elaborately, its the number bits needed to fully specify something which is known to be in some broad category of state but the exact details to calculate it are unknown.

Incidental to this, I'm now convinced that the tube map is overrated and a quasi-geographical map would suit London better. And by "quasi" I mean slightly expanded or contracted in certain spots for clarity but basically corr

This leaves a lot unanswered. Why didn't any other trains tip over? Was the severe weather localized to such an extent that there was only a single train anywhere exposed to it? If I pick a random section of track to park a train what

Well actually, "reversible driving" is perfectly apt in the sense of acceleration being a reversible process. It means that in theory the net energy needed to drive anywhere is zero because all the energy spent on acceleration is

This is fine as a beginner rule of thumb but it shouldn't be regarded as a universal truth about recursion. Its also possible for a simple evaluation without recursion to happen at infinity rather than at zero. In practice this usually

Given we are talking about jamming a repeater in a rather extreme orbit, you have to account for the speed of light delay. By the time a bad actor gets news that a message they don't like is being transmitted and starts up the jammer t

Interesting. I agree a follow up result would be fascinating. w.r.t. imaginary numbers and tensor flow, as you may have come across at some point, you can always map a quantum circuit over to one that only uses real valued amplitudes at the
