>any even number can be divided by 2 until it reaches 1. It's hard because this is wrong. 18 is an even number. 18/2 is 9. 9 can no longer be divided by 2 and is not one.

But the question of a counterexample (eventhough it probably doesn't exist) is interesting. Is there a number for which we don't know weather it is a counterexample because it would take too long to compute? I feel like any single

You would first have to prove that the number is actually a counterexample. I don't know what you mean by calculating the whole sequence, as it would be an infinite sequence. Proving a counterexample seems like a halting problem kind o

Damn, I was so sure it would be. This problem really is fascinating.

Yeah, this is definitely at least a semi-decidable problem. By following the process of the video in the beginning you can generate all values that converge towards 1, and you will reach each value at some point. Now, all that is missing is

I can totally see how one could be sucked into this problem. The solution seems immediately reachable. After giving it some thought, I can prove that it is equivalent to "every number will at some point reach a power of 2" because

Oh, I see. It's about creating the set of numbers that do end up at 1 by starting at 1 and applying the operations in reverse order. That is neat. They should have explained that in the article.

It actually is causation. There just happens to be a causal step in between.

It's very powerful, but, as a result, very stuffed and overwhelming. It's a significant barrier to entry. I've seen it several times. There is definitely a place for a much simpler app, that focuses on the most important feat

Since there seems to be some skepticism about them, I want to recommend this app, that my partner uses and likes, and that claims to be based on maps.me while having removed all advertising and binaries. https://f-droid.org/

I'm not necessarily against the concept in every case. But where do you draw the line between that, and just an alternative internet?

No, he is pointing out that 'there is a market for it therefore it is not a sin' is a shitty argument because there is a a market for blatantly amoral things. You don't understand how analogies work.

Their entire business sounds like a way to circumvent network neutrality, by claiming their network of interconnected private networks is something other than the internet.

There is already a name for that. It's called peer-to-peer. I get where you are coming from but you are not accomplishing anything by asking people to not use a particular name. What else are they supposed to say? If you have a more ev

Maybe, instead of locking something in, just have a read-only link and an editable link for every note, without being able to derive the edit link from the ro link. Otherwise, maybe someone should implement this purely as a frontend to vola

The idea would be that the support ticket with namecheap should be enough. Though I doubt it would be, for the average person.

I'm not always in the right headspace to read long form content. Twitter threads, that are more of a list than a text, can be very condusive to short attention span reading, I have found.

I'm sure their approach is either for a lot of people. But it is a huge burden for me. And if they just gave me access to the files and maybe an api, it would work for both of us, instead of just for you.

Then don't if it's easier for you. My usecase is I want to watch things on a reltively low powered Linux laptop. They have nothing for me.

I feel like you are being dense on purpose here. I talk about anything with a webbrowser and you argue about the complication of htpc and nas.

Wouldn't they make more money by you watching less? Also, there is no reason they couldn't have a decent website, just because they also didn't have DRM.

Here in Germany, Torrenting legally is distribution, so I don't do it. But find yourself a decent streaming link aggregator, install an adblocker and you are golden. Anything with a webbrowser can play it. No major legal streaming plat

I'm still baffled by the reasoning that leads to all the DRM theater. It does nothing. the moment a piece of content reaches streaming apps, it's on every torrent and free streaming platform.[1] All it does is that it makes the us

They can't. Capitalism can only exist in growth. To give up growth you would need to give up Capitalism. You should do both. Edit: Do people who downvote me disagree that Capitalism necessitates growth to function? Or do they disagree
