This is fascinating. How in the world does the body "raise antibodies" that are effective against arbitrary proteins it hasn't seen before? How does this get "remembered" and how does the memory get communicated thr

The largest Dutch cities are at best medium-sized in total population and density compared to American cities, though, and a lot richer in wealth per capita. For example, using 2015 numbers, Amsterdam with 848k people (4.3k per sq mi) would

Could you clarify which algorithm you're referring to? Or name an example algorithm that works in the way you describe? What I find in academic literature seems to characterize Integer Programming as a search problem. See the following

Consider the Eight Queens problem. There are multiple valid solutions to the problem on a given chessboard. They are symmetric solutions, yet distinct. Any algorithm that finds a single solution and not all of them must be prioritizing arbi

While this may be true for linear programming, is it true for integer linear programming or binary integer programming, which one would presumably use to model Soduku? The Wikipedia article you posted claims that integer programming problem

Sorry. I commented to explain the reason for the flag. I wasn't sure it was obvious.

That wasn't how I understood it. Rather, my impression is that the theory is not based on the comedy, but is rather explained using the language and situations of the comedy.

It is a reasonable assumption. I would hope that if Uber complies with whatever laws they were found to be violating, that they could continue operating. However, whether that's a plausible outcome depends on the reason why they'r
