So what? She said that they released things that they agreed not to discuss in the first place. Why should she have to say what thise things were? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of asking them not to publish those things?

Yes. In fact it has often been noted by physicists that when they make a new discovery they sometimes find that mathematicians have been there before them. Like Einstein and non-euclidean geometry etc.

The way I think about it is, there are certain areas of knowledge that divide the world into 2 kinds of people, where those that have that knowledge dominate and/or manipulate those that don't. That's how I rank what the most

Even though I think I understand the maths behind this, I'm one of those people who has never been able to fully accept it. When you pick a door, the odds are that the prize is behind one of the other 2 doors (2/3 chance). Therefo

For anyone who hasn't heard about this, it's a really cool approach to AR where the glasses project the image onto a retro-reflective surface, instead of onto the lens or the user's eye. The kickstarter was a huge success any

But is that because they can't find a better job, or they just can't find a better job in academia? I find it hard to believe that someone with a Masters or PHD in stem could not find a high paying job in the tech industry. (discl

That's not really a fair comparison. The first example is a fairly natural way that a reasonable person could model the logic in their head. Knowing that your programming language provides a more concise way is an optimization. A basic

I agree about thinking "in system", but your "as fast as possible" comment is interesting, because I think this actually highlights the kind of problem that mathematical thinking is good at fixing. Why "as fast as p

Weirdly, the verb "to doubt" used to be used in the opposite sense to how it is now. So, for instance, if you say "I doubt it's going to rain", that means you think it won't rain. But a few hundred years ago, i

The central point of this article is that there's a fundamental difference in a person's culpability if they help someone to procure secrets, vs if they just receive and publish those secrets. Therefore (the idea goes) he's n

Yeah good point about ground clearance. We don't get as much snow here as MN, but probably similar to Chicago. Traction-wise, it's as bad as it gets anywhere in the US, but I've never had to deal with very deep snow in the M3

As someone who drives an M3 every day in the winter in the northern US in snow, ice and everything in between, let me assure you rear wheel drive is not an issue. Tires are what matter, not the drivetrain. Get a good set of winter tires and
