Independent hash functions can be as mundane as using different a,b values for ax+b, so as far as the theory is concerned, salting is indeed generating a new hash function.

I think this is the wrong question. Any number, if you define them as a representation of digits, is computable in that sense. What isn't necessary computable is the value of a function taken with a certain input or input range. BB num

The stress comes from constant and abject failure, not really the life style. Travelling is also like 2% of the total time.

Depends on what quality you optimize for. The quality of the execution, the quality of cost controls, etc. If you mean the quality of each unit of the product, then yes, you're largely right. You just need enough quality to let people

>Virtu literally switched sides and make most of their money on order execution. That's not true according to their filings. In their filing for 2022 Q4, I see 185m from market making, and 89m from execution.

The goals before the 4 years were probably based on results claimed, not making a product. Research management is difficult and efficiently running a lab requires some degree of trust that researchers don't lie. I think the bigger part

It works until one of them stops caring. I could imagine that, if a town is dying, it would be very difficult for them to justify spending resources related to nature conservation, and would then again require the conservation foundation to

For a PE buyout to be truly successful, the current owners need to be vastly less informed and/or have access to fewer resources than the fund does. It's a function of both sides of the transaction. When a PE doesn't think th

That's not a physical law. It only happens sometimes in some parts of the supply chain in the form of economies of scale. But if you run out of easily drilled oil sources, the unit cost of produce more oil increases. If you want to bui

The only way to meet the demand of the masses without inflation is increasing supply without increasing the marginal cost of the extra supply. These days, that's mostly driven by technological progress and aggressively pursuing efficie

It looks like the most compelling differentiator is the AR and pass-through experience. I wouldn't say it's a game changer for VR, but it does sweeten the deal. But if there is ever a perfect AR experience for desk work, if it doe

It's not very surprising they'd be distant relatives, as a matter of odds. Taiwan is a small place and Taiwanese Han people came from a relatively non-diverse group of immigrants (e.g. largely Hokkien). For these two to have got a

Sales and marketing CEOs pretend they work 24x7, but they spend much of their weekends on leisure activities such as golfing, travel, playing with their children, having expensive dinners with board members and politicians and so on. If you

Corporate contributions also suffer from the same perverse incentives. If you want that promo, better make sure it's your code and proposal that made it into the standard.

It's something they didn't really ask for, never meaningfully utilized anyway, and ultimately is an entry in a table on some servers they can't really care less about. You can fantasize about the hardships the citizens suffe

>because the price of a stock is what someone is willing to pay for it. It's only true assuming fully efficient markets, which even academic economists studying markets don't do. The fact someone is willing to pay $100 for one

There's a lot of waste based on pure nonsense and most of the public indulge in them. Individuals that actually care and make well-informed decisions form a minority.

Given their losses your rent would have to roughly double for WeWork to have any profit. May I know if the services provided to you are worth that much?

Probably the expectation is that the most marketable ones would receive special incentives including pay bumps and promotions. This makes a strong assumption that the company is able to accurately identify contributors worth the special inc

The only way to really plan for it, if you're running a small business with lower margins, is to raise prices, grow users or cut salary expenses. None of those are easy, even if you can see the tax bill coming.

It just reads like they optimized for best impact, trying to cherry pick their way to presenting a big strawman and strike it. At least, scientists and doctors have a much more nuanced point of view than the authors imply they do. The resen

It's also true that he can't possibly take the entire year off as PTO, because he'd be fired before it's allowed to happen. So taking a full year PTO is already a contradiction. Then in classicial logic, a contradiction

I'm often on board with this sort of criticism of populist finance regulation but it is a bit nuanced. One problem retail voices tend to highlight is that institutions that take stupid risks can get bailed out for being too big to fail

No, the bonds are worth something, and the losses can narrow by a lot if they're allowed to hold to maturity, deposit interest rates rise slowly enough and if broad interest rates drop some time on the future. The risk that they can&#x
