Please apply a little bit of critical thinking. It's a CEO's job to make the company look good. They therefore have an incentive to lie/exaggerate in a way that benefits them. They do not have that same incentive to make thei

What? No, it's nothing like that. It means that if you have a critical insight and you share it out loud, somebody with no particular mathematical inclination can just spend lots of money to steal the credit from you. It shifts power f

The nice thing about theorem provers is that you don't need to read the intermediate lines. You need to make sure that the goal/result actually matches what you think it says - but everything in the middle is validated by the prov

Cyber as a prefix basically just means "related to a computer network." If you're of a certain age, "cyber" primarily means cybersex. There's also cybernetics, cybercafes, and more: https://en.wikipe

The knobs are especially difficult to use (on desktop here). The first two knobs only respond to click & vertical drag - moving up rotates clockwise, moving down rotates ccw. Moving left or right does nothing. The second knob's gra
