is it as portable as a macbook pro?

We wouldn't ban noticing the statistical connection, but we might ban using it in court cases and hiring decisions.

It's possible for a company with a superior product to be a monopoly, and it's also possible for a company with a majority share in the market to not be a monopoly.

I enjoy tons of music from the past 20 years. One of my favorites, Nikolai Kapustin, died last year. I don't know in what sense you think music has stopped happening but you're very much incorrect about that.

I'd rather have it harder to make a living in the music industry if it means the free sharing of music (and thus I have access to all music from all of history). We have more musicians in absolute terms than every before anyway.

Is this because they're a monopoly or because they're better than the competition?

New things are made with the knowledge of old things, and old things aren't. Unless more knowledge about what you're making could lead to a worse product, then newer things will on average be better than older things.

You can make calculus and Fourier transforms without infinite sets; all you need is limits.

When I was much younger this was the source of a lot of wonder for me. Both the rationals and the irrationals are dense in the reals, and yet the irrationals greatly outnumber the rationals.

Newer games are made with the knowledge of older games, so theoretically they should be better. I'd argue they are on average, but there's also the survivorship bias in play with very old games that only the good ones are still co

I don't think both of those combined would fill my time from when I'm 40 until I die. I'd have to find something that really occupies me (like maybe I start a big open source project or something) but at that point I'm j

If that's your view that's fine, but it's not the view of GP.

I had a long conversation with my brother, who never wanted to retire ever, and his reason was basically "what would I even do with all the time I have". My inability to answer that haunts me every day. I still don't know.

I don't know you at all so I don't know how much this can mean, but I just want to say that your situation sounds extremely tragic to me and I feel for you, and your repeated attempts to better yourself and your situation give me

Hallowed is a very apt translation, the hebrew word קדוש (which I think is the one that means hallowed?) can also be translated as "sperated"; "separated/holy" is pretty much the dictionary definition of hallowed

I think Trader Joes does that too?

What would it look like for math to not exist?

I like this idea, and now wonder why the radix point is placed where it is. I assume it has something to do with integers being invented first?

I was in a bit of a weird half-rate math competion team/club where some people who were there to get out of history class and some people who were very much the opposite and were some of the smartest people I've ever talked to. On

A server always runs some sort of code on a client's machine (such as sending it instructions about the game world for it to render into an image). This isn't a problem because it can only do this in an incredibly constrained way.

I think there's a bit of difference between asking a medical professional in person and asking a generalized audience over social media. Asking "do we know if immunity from the vaccine lasts longer" that A) can come across as

Consider that those two statements may be about in the same wheelhouse, but "developers aren't needed" is way, way more rediculous than "managers aren't needed".

That's irrelevant to my question, which merely asked if it was peer reviewed or not. I think it was not, seeing where it was published.

I don't think QC uses naive Copenhagen by convention? I remember reading something by a quantum computation scientist (maybe it was Scott Aaronson?) who said he prefers many works.

Is this paper peer-reviewed?

Wow, that's uh, wow.

>important This term is totally nebulous. What it means to be the "same person but with different features" or a "different person" is just pure meaningless semantics.

I don't see how that's any different than what GP was talking about
