You could feed the proof to a (simple, verified) proof checker rather than check it by hand. Then you only need to check the statement that was proven was the one you wanted, without having to vet the code that spits out the proof line by l

You can test the accuracy yourself: http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ . It's a good idea to take that test before looking at OP's results.

That's actually a very weak part of the article. Finnish state unemployment benefits, even for the people refusing to seek employment, are bigger than students' grants. You are uneligible for unemployment benefits as long as you a

Finnish has various forms of consonant gradation, e.g. ky k y (ability) -> ky v ystä (from skill), or saa p as (boot) -> saa pp ain (by boots). I'm no linguist, but I'm pretty sure that hinders Finnish from turning very anal

I would suggest taking a look at I2P-Bote. Although I haven't had it installed for a year at least, I2P-bote seems to be a slow-moving project, with lots of features TBD, but it does hit all the keywords.

They are introductory in the sense that they are more about the horizontal bar of the T than about going in depth in a particular topic. But I guess I have to admit it was a poor choice of words.

And the trick is called "lowering standards". While attractive people surely have everything easier, I suspect the difference the study found is due to men seeking different things from "short" and long relationships.

This isn't the only fast track program the FDA has. While they might not be the most flexible organization, at least they are probably thinking in terms of risk/benefit to the public rather than in terms of safe/unsafe.

I don't know Kurzweil's real position, but I believe in one of his books he expected singularity by 2045. A lot of people don't protest the idea itself, but the optimistic schedule.

Yeah. Most scientists are doing mathematics, not programming. Somehow math has done just fine without developing the patterns you see in programming. It's as if they weren't necessary in the domain.
