Oooh the good old democratic myth. Perhaps Carlin was right all along (which he usually is): "Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist". Sunde was one of my heroes growing up in Sweden when I was a socialist and beli

I know that feeling! I just took on a problem that I found to be simple to understand yet for some reason is still unsolved. Simple to understand turned out to be crucial because when I started I had no idea how much "I did not know&qu

lol. Like I said, I don't expect to reach any tangible goal. However, I am not looking for an extended "search" algorithm. I am looking for a "solution" or at least a solution in say O(log(n)) to begin with. That&#x

I don't find the growth rate surprising at all! > 50% of integers are have a factor under 3 every other number is divisible by 2, that is literally half. > 73% - under 6 Well I think about it this way: every other number is divis

It IS popular to hate on Thiel but it is also very hard to dispute most of the stuff that he says. Granted, everyone is wrong about something, but in this case, I think he nails it pretty darn well!
