It seems using toplevel programs could make it harder to find the entry point to a program. Is there an easy way, given a built assembly, to know which source file the entry point is?

I don't see how putting Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon under the control of the US executive branch would solve the problems of accountability and them needing to deal with the laws of multiple nation states. If one wants to subje

Well; another problem is that saying that branching happens at all is to miss the point of MWI; which is to avoid collapse. There aren't any discrete "branching" events.

Oh; so this was part of the fed stimulus, not the 2 trillion congress stimulus bill?

My personal feeling is that we should have just cut everyone a 10k check and be done with it. Some direct funding to hospitals maybe; but 95% of the stimulus should have just been direct cash. Seems like the best way to ensure that people w

Well, for those looking at the comments first: No; they do not actually factor any 1024 or 2048 bit numbers. The largest is 17 bits. Although they point out that representing the problem can be done in a quadratic size of the input, the dat

I don't think thats true though. In 1903, Radioactivity had already been proposed as an explanation for the Sun's heat (2 years prior to Annus Mirabilis). The connection between E=mc^2 and nuclear reactions doesn't become cle

Einstein did not determine that the sun was nuclear powered. That was Hans Bethe in 1939 (based on data produced by Bengt Strömgren).

So this seems to be getting drowned out a bit; but the core issue here is not that Amazon is creating their own labels to compete with seller's products. It's that they've publicly stated, including to congress, that they d

So the basic assumption of an exponential growth curve is: "rate of change is proportional to a population." However, in the case of a virus, you eventually run out of population to consume; so you tweak the model to be "Let
