It seems like you are unfairly singling out one particular advance in technology among many which could be equally responsible for killing or surveillance. Furthermore, since this also opens some very positive perspectives, why not try and

Thanks! For a while I've had this notion that the best way to understand differences in gender is to picture some situations of everyday life with reversed genders, and then I thought while reading this, maybe there's a sci-fi bo

Hey! This is really nice. Maybe I missed it but there doesn't seem to be a way to have the ingredients be proportional to the number of people you want to prepare it for. Of course, some things are not linear, and there should be a wa

Well, suppose what you want to check is a proof of the Riemann conjecture in Coq, this might take some substantial time. So whether it is fast could be relevant.

Thank you very much for the references! As for Ethereum, I know that it is the goal, certainly the fact that it is Turing-complete argues in favor of this usecase. However, how practical and efficient is it, as in what kind of slowdown in t

Ok, you're right. I was trying to compensate the fact that the language is learned in a classroom as opposed to in real life. I guess I had the intuition that bilingual people still have a language that is "more native" than

I wonder if this might not be something else. When you study a language in a classroom, you frequently engage in conversations on various topics, whose sole purpose is to make you practice much more than to actually have a well-thought conv

This is a complicated problem. I know some Coq developers are trying to build a search tool, but the problem is there are many ways to state a theorem and you want to not only find statements that exactly correspond to your request, but als

Ok, you mean because they can actually afford to ignore any other blockchain and just build on their own? Point taken. So 51% would be terrible, but 48% is 1) dangerously close to it 2) bad in itself because it allows for double spending ev

Well, 50% is an arbitrary barrier, but the possibility of a double spend is already there at 48%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if p is the percentage of hashing power you have, then mining amounts to throwing a biased coin with probabi
