Do you know the temperature probability distribution in Antartica? Not all distributions are normal and not all even have a standard deviation.

For GPS precision is much more important than accuracy.

Those are complex numbers, just expressed differently. Complex numbers are not tied to a notation.

I’m not convinced. Complex numbers are a representation of a system. Yes, you can express it somehow else, but at its core it’s the same. As I understand it, they are saying that using complex numbers is the simplest (pun not intended) repr

Perhaps that’s what they are naturally inclined to do?

So what’s the incentive to open and keep a playground? It seems like a huge liability. Part of the problem is adults let children play with cellphones because it’s “safe”.

Not every market is a free market. Also there’s not only one rubles market rate.

Honest question: do you not determine that during onboarding/account signup? Or do you do warm onboarding wherein essentially everyone is accepted and some vetted later on?

Very neat idiom. Is it really used and understood by people in real life?

That approach is useful and has been discussed in works like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requisite_organization

Can you refer to roles? Something like “set local role (SELECT name FROM roles WHERE id = 7)”

It’s usual in Spanish in variations like “Revenge is best served cold.”

I didn’t say that. In your example, you are a consumer of a public service. In the Google case you are a user of a private service.

It’s not unusual. They decide that they don’t want to do business with you anymore. It can be included in their TOS that pre-arbitration is mandatory. By you going directly to civil courts you are breaching their TOS which is a reason for t

Still that can be vulnerable. If you really wanted to give up privacy, it could work like bank accounts work where a human banker actually knows you. But this would cost.

What’s wrong with that? (Serious literal question.)

Semi-serious question: At what speed does time propagate away from UTC? Do systems take into account relativistic effects when synchronizing across the earth, given that “Now” does not propagate instantaneously?

Wall clock is solved by having a camera pointed at local live news where local time is shown, and having your system updated periodically where this period is arbitrarily short.

Thanks. That’s very common in weak relational database schemas where people like adding redundant stateful columns.

I’m sorry I don’t get it.

Depends enormously on your level and willingness and dedication. At that level the best ones are Spivak, Apostol, Fichtenholtz, Kudryavtsev.

Good books but still quite standard. Spivak’s is standard on initial calculus courses at universities. If you really wanted non-standard but relevant authors I would add Feyerabend, Kuhn, Kahneman, Dostoyevsky, Borges, Taleb, Montaigne, Pop

Flip a coin. Heads you answer the truth. Tails you flip again: heads you answer A, tails you answer not A. Construct a binary tree as required.

Some thoughts. Tumors in muscular tissue are relatively rare. The growth cycle in these bioreactors should be short, giving less probability of runaway mutations. It’s a hyper growth medium with supernatural levels of growth hormones, so tu

Usually you make heavy use of SELECT DISTINCT ON (…) FROM … ORDER BY ts DESC and you can use WHERE ts < ts_0 to recreate until ts_0. Liberal use of MATERIALIZED VIEWs.

DDL transactions should be committed orders of magnitude less frequently than data transactions, so it’s reasonable to separate their logging.
