If this reasoning is valid, we might as well accuse you and the grand parent of being internet kratom sellers, who have a vested interest in convincing HN readers of the benign nature of Kratom. In any case, your reasoning is completely inv

This is pretty typical for most open source projects. The major version will rarely get bumped unless the devs feel that it is a significant update (or they have some predefined meaning of bumping a major version, like breaking APIs). See f

It's not clear in this case that what they've built is mathematically analogous to GR wormholes. This seems more on the "it's kinda conceptually similar" rather than "this works exactly the same as a wormhole u

I was responding, perhaps my misinterpretation, to your assertion that it was unclear what the 'nightmare scenario' was. I asserted that if you had been following the recent developments of the LHC (or had some idea as to what the

This isn't clickbait. Do you see any ads on this page? This is an accurate characterization of the worst outcome (that doesn't involve space aliens) that scientists were worried about when the LHC launched.

This is actually extremely common. For example, if you browse the UC Irvine ML datasets https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.html You'll find that many are in csv format. If you do a search on data.gov http:&#x2F

So why didn't any of this conspiracy to rig Diebold machines get referenced in the 20,000 leaked emails?

Javascript has very different semantics from rust. It's not compiled for one thing, it's untyped, and it's executed by a dynamic interpreter that, in the case of v8, directly compiles hot code to native assembly.

I most certainly did not say this wasn't huge. However, to extend your analogy, discovering neutrons doesn't overturn the existence of atoms, nor does it overturn the idea that atoms are made up of smaller components. Anyhow, that

The main revolution 150 years ago was that lichen was not a single organism. I'm not sure if refining that number from 2 to 3 is legitimately "overturning"; I was reading the article expecting them to say that the two organis

That strategy did not work well for Ernst Röhm. Given that the entirety of Trump's campaign seems to be one of political expediency, I don't see Thiel being anymore than "Trump's best friend is gay, so of course we'

Thank you for clarifying the approach (and with not trying to use latex!) :). The issue is, of course, the illegitimate manipulation of a diverging series, which was the exact issue that prompted the original article (due to Numberphile doi

That's completely unreadable. So how exactly is it that by multiplying a regular sum of positive numbers by a decaying exponent do you get a negative number when you take the limit?

Thank you, I shouldn't have reused the incorrect terminology here (it matters). Thanks for bringing this point up, I completely agree with you, because there is no chance of consumer confusion between these products, which is a reasona

Um... are you responding to a different thread? I believe that we're in agreement here. It's the original poster who thinks that once a corporate entity has laid claim to a word, other people should feel obligated to avoiding usin

I think it's pretty uncool to copyright a word which is a fundamental particle and prevent people from using it.

Very unfortunate that a corporate entity chose the name Gluon, as it's already the name that was assigned fifty years ago to a fundamental particle. At least, that's what I get when I do a simple google search. Also, this project

This is taught in american middle schools and high schools. Multiple times; it's the defacto example of how exponents work. It is not explicitly called out in the Common Core standard, but several of the examples in the common core are

You mentioned it as as an aside. The well ordering property is completely irrelevant.

The Gaussian integers are well ordered as well. That '<' respects arithmetic operations isn't an aside; it's the core feature.

For those of you have heard about this back in December, there is no new data at the moment. The only update is that CERN is firing up again; hopefully we'll hear an update in the next several months or so.
