I guess, but then it's also kind of uninteresting. Lists in Python are an array of pointers. That Python implements assignment differently is kind of an odd detail, but altering the value of one of the variables doesn't alter the

"is" isn't equivalent to equality in Python. Is specifically checks the memory address, not equality. Equality is checked with "==" like in any other language. The author probably saw the is operator used somewhere

I think about the controlled growth of Amazon. They're the tortoise than won the race. Others grew fast and crashed and burned. They were careful not to overleverage and to make sure they were doing what they could handle.

Suppose I my tenant leaves. I make the calculation that it'd be cheaper to sell the building. No one wants to buy it because it's missing a tenant. It stays unused, depressing the area around it. That depression, in turn, makes co

You seem to have created a system with a runaway negative feedback loop.

If not, maybe we can engineer a breed of worms that can.

Are you talking about the packing problem or the traveling salesmen problem? Both are NP. Though so is k-means and we can still do a good job with stochastic search.

I'm only surprised no one did this sooner. It's not a hard system to beat, the whole show is based around if you remember what a gallon of milk costs.

This is such an absurd stretch, I think the author should use their creativity on fiction writing instead.

Yup. They're "independent contractors" for a variety of legal and tax reasons.

I don't trust people's due dilligence enough to be okay with this. Edit: remember when Ebola was never supposed to leave the CDC fascility and a nurse was exposed to it and left the hospital? That's what happens when there&#x

This seems way worse than those things. Relationship problems, nepotism, and drug and alcohol abuse are problems. But permanently vandalizing a living human body while the person is unconscious goes far beyond the pale. The person should do

Are you confusing finance for accounting? There's still not a terribly great distinction here, but accounting is way off.

Yeah, that's volatility. I'd talk to a financial advisor. There's plenty of financial products and investments that can help you reduce that.

Telecommunications tend to form a natural monopoly. It's a bit like roads and railroads, only you're transporting information rather than people. I looked online and it's got all the common characteristics: there are few clos

Dublin was fine. But drive 15 minutes outside the city limits and I did a lot of polite nodding and smiling. By the end of my two weeks, though, I could still only catch about 75% of the words being spoken. We spent most of our time around

As an American, I can say that it takes at least two weeks in Ireland before you can understand a damned thing they say.

I'm not sure why the author lumps together so many of the attributes he does, and when he does acknowledge exceptions, rather than learn from them and understand why they exist, he simply waves his hands an says Japan wasn't honor

I mean, how could you prove that anyway then? If you can show the images on his website are the original images, the only alternative is that he copied the Netflix images and is randomly pretending he was the one ripped off.

The Fibonacci sequence is an obviously toy example. No one seems to use it for any practical purpose, but the same can be said of most functions named Foo and Bar.

Only tangentially related, but "1816, the Year without a Summer" is one of my favorite Rasputina songs. It's legitimately just an explanation of 1816.

People who do this, lock up people while subverting the rule of law, are simply criminals who also have government authority. They should be charged, after being given access to a lawyer, from the person at the top who made the decision to
