Then why don't they investigate wage theft? Googling around suggests that the cost to the US economy is about the same as shoplifting (and I'm guessing individual cases could be much higher value than shoplifting). When was the la

It's funny/sad that there's even a term for when reporters venture outside of the confines of their pen: investigative journalism.

Ok, then produce a definition of the syntax of the logic in which you interpret set theory without referring to sets, functions or integers.

The definitions of set , function and integers will always have a bit of Justice Stewart "know it when I see it" quality.

Politics is the decision making around how to divide and use our shared resources. Addressing climate change in a meaningful way requires rethinking our current approach. It's a fundamentally political issue.

I also think (or hope) that these contrarians don’t realize how long the facts in this Herald story have been suspected of being true.

It’s a straw man to suggest I don’t care about the crime. I would argue that our current system attempts to be “class blind” at various steps (notably, not when setting bail) but fails miserably. This case is a perfect example. Same with th

They’re vastly different if you apply a class-based analysis, yes. An alleged billionaire abusing minors while palling around with heads of state compared to someone with a public defender? And I don’t even understand how one can solicit pr

It’s does not achieve that at all. How is there an analogy between Epstein being welcomed back into polite society and hiring a low level drug felon at a living wage? Not even the same ballpark.

What trial? You mean when Acosta cut a deal because Epstein “belonged to intelligence”?

That quote is not exactly correct, there are plenty of evolution equations which are not time-reversible beginning with the linear heat equation. If you look at the solution given by convolution (usually taught in first PDE course) you see

This metric induces the discrete topology, which isn't very useful. Regarding its metric structure, you could apply the contraction mapping theorem but I can't think of any interesting contractions off the top of my head. I'm

I'm not familiar with Rudnick, but Stein (RIP) and Klainerman are giants in analysis/PDEs. They contributed much to the theories on which they were quizzing him. These are professors at one of the top mathematics institutes in the

In my academic mathematician life the path was clear: write a paper, place on the arXiv then submit. However I have sets of notes I'd like to put out there (some day), but are in much too fluid of a condition to commit to the arXiv.

This brings up a point not exactly spelled out in the article: the old GFS used a spectral method, not finite difference.
