You still need some brilliant mathematicians to invent new problems. AI is not yet good at inventing problems which are both novel and interesting.

I'm not sure how much manual review in these stores is for security rather than content and enforcement of business rules. I imagine nearly all the security review is automated scans, and not the source of the delays.

I love how in rugby if two guys are going a little two hard at each other the referee will call them over along with their captains, and address the captains while these gigantic players stand there like children. One other offshoot of ru

I used to introduce myself to the cop who would work each wrestling tournament our teams were in. They always had a chill time at wrestling, and I asked them which sport was the worst. Basketball. Every single one of them said basketball

Baseball in particular has a problem with anger is the arguments. Like there is no argument without a hostile tone. Players/managers never seem to merely appeal a call -- they jump straight to harsh yelling. Compare it to soccer wh

The cars are generally in good repair. They are typically taking decent enough roads. They are sober (or more sober than the average driver). They are driving "normal" routes -- from a house to a business, or a club to an apartm

There will always be some threshold at which this argument can be made. Driving 200 in a school zone? License revoked, certainly. Driving 60 in a 55? Just a speeding ticket. Pick some line in between the two where that argument seems like

> This assumes that mothers in the workforce earning (taxable) income is a benefit in and of itself. I think it's more about whether the investment pays back and defrays the costs.

It's something you would have to be keeping up with as a mathematician, really. Vaguely. It's describing connections between a number of other mathematics results than can be connected to prove FLT. I assume all the work describ

I agree, it's just a different vector to entry based on content. California is stepping it up to computing as a whole. Combine the two. Then the next step is actual ID, not an ID clearinghouse. But we're all paranoid for sugges

After looking at the posts here, are you being critical of those like it or those who can't get beyond hating it (and maybe discuss the actual point of the article)?

Stop throwing subsidies. Easy fix without a wealth tax. There are a plethora of taxes that companies pay, but a tax on existence is just awful in so many ways. Make zero dollars this year? You lose a percent of the company -- congrats. T

I don't know how a company could avoid all taxes. They say that Amazon does, but that's only the corporate income tax, surely they are paying billions in payroll, property, energy, and other taxes.

As for the bill itself, it's one of those that gets passed because it is non invasive to the typical person, it's voluntary, and it should help some. There is no downside at all. But 2 years from now a baseline has been establish

In mathematics, there are infinitely many "computable" numbers. That is, numbers which can be describe using any mathematics available. Then there are far more "non computable" numbers, which can't be described

Algebraically, it is the number of queries: n+1. That's traditionally how you write such a number, not 1+n. It's the number of queries not a sentence of "we did 1 query, then we had to do n queries."

My current stumbling block is the "design" interview. I get what they're going for and what I have to practice, but as someone with 25 years of experience I just can't help but have my experience creep into my thoughts.

I'm a bit surprised to be downvoted on this, except maybe that it's seen as an attack on Europe. There have been other attempts at a league superior to the individual national leagues -- like a permanent champions league. Establi

I see parallels between water rights "xxx acre feet per year" without regard for how much water is incoming, and pension funds where they simply declare how much will be paid out. I really can't tell the difference between pe

Driving down the road past a police cruiser on the side with it's lights on is far from safe. The escalation of brightness makes them visible beyond anything else...like the road.

Ok, I agree with this. The offside rule is just weird. A person with a wide stance would simultaneously be close to be both endlines. In any normal sense if one person is further south, the other person is further north -- not so with th

The US has been asking that when they get a red card that Messi doesn't get. Or a handball on the goal line is ok for a UEFA company. Or a US goal called back when another UEFA team hauls multiple US players to the ground. You see wh
