   And didn't get the life of the people improved? Maybe the US is an exception but on a global scale globalization lifted a lot of people out of poverty. (need to look at data for the US though, but still if you compare life of a worker

   I don't like the title, NP problems do not have to be hard, it only means they get hard if you scale up the problem. Like traveling salesmen with 3 destinations is easy, not hard. I also agree the problem posed is ridiculous, but NP ha

   Well, we actually sort of know that something is different far away, since the rotation profile of galaxies do not match theoretical predictions. There are currently two different resolutions, either postulating new particles (dark matter a

   Another aspect is that you can only fly over sea (since the sonic boom is too noisy). So the routes would have been limited probably to only go from Moskow to Wladiwostok, or best to Japan. But there would probably be no supersonic flight a

   You also need to check on visa requirements. Usually you cannot stay longer than 3 month per half year in Schengen on a tourist visa. I read a while ago some countries have special arrangement with th le US, but either this expired or it is

    I agree. I am using Ipython from vscode, and I THINK I am doing it similar (cannot currently watch the video). I switched from a different editor, since the problem of the gui loop you mentioned (Ipython has gui loop running in the backgrou

    Personally (haven't started a company) there is basically only one thing you need before starting: your first customer, then not screwing up, but that I believe is easier.

    Does anybody know a good reference on the minus 0 thing? How do you end up with it? Is 4-4=+0.0 and -4 +4=-0.0? Or is it different?

    Couldn't you also implement max as return a>b? a:b; (changing greater equal to just greater). Would the problem then still persist?

    Thanks. Could you expand on the 'real repl', what do you mean exactly? For me live coding is also important, which I do for python in Ipython so I can run the scripts, access all the modules and do what I like in the repl; if I wa

    Might be good for society as a whole if the elite has at least to study hard. (not in terms of equality, but outcome compared internationally). A failed state is where the kids of rich ppl flunk school and still become leaders.

    Precisely. It also makes me wonder if they really reached Mach 1.01. I mean if you can recover with such an airliner, why did everybody before chuck Yeager die?

    Even non sterilizing could be argued, it effects other people if you cannot find an ICU after your car accident because they are full with unvaccinated (and some vaccinated) covid patients.

    It is more nuanced. A lot of science is settled and e. g. moved over to technology. All semiconductor devices rely on what was groundbreaking science (as well as simple electricity on even earlier groundbreaking science). The latest when it

    That is Betteridge's law. Personally I believe it could also be 'we don't know'. In all other cases the headline would be different (an affirmative statement).
