I am trying to imagine how it is even possible for this to happen in a DAG. One path from A to B cannot be a strict subset of another (because this implies a cycle) - I unless you mean something else by "superpath".

Look at incentives you have created in the impacted industries, and think about what the new optimal strategy is from a cost/profit perspective. That is what behavior will converge to, and is a central concern for any good policy maker

Different governments have varying degrees of alignment with your goal. Despite how flawed the US govt is, I don't see how someone can think the US govt and CCP are equivalent in their misalignment with your desire.

Agreed...I don't understand why this isn't an obvious thing all of congress would get behind. Change the law if necessary.

Well said. People and problems have a multidimensional nature. For me, one major key to finding happiness in work is finding an environment where the skills needed to solve problems is in high alignment with the two of three skills that you

To add to the chain of tangential corrections, it is incorrect to state that you are correcting a mistake. What your parent said was in fact a true statement, you just generalized it a bit.

And for those intimidated by the much higher complexity/time commitment of Space Exploration, I have found the Krastorio 2 mod to be a great option. It adds enough new stuff to make it a fresh experience, but not nearly as much new com

It's harder to gauge someone's ability when they come from outside the institution initially. Plus, since org Chem is not a freshman class typically, you give students some time to immerse themselves in the culture and standards o

Python is a very poorly designed language...from your perspective...for a subset of tasks that you deem to have higher importance than others. I'm definitely not saying python is anywhere near perfect, and yes it certainly has design f

I love articles like this. I wish more research papers and textbooks actually explained how people came up with their ideas/proofs in the first place.

Adding elements one at a time is O(log n) into an already sorted list. But producing a complete sorted list requires doing that n times, so you end up with n log n anyways. Am I missing something?

The fact that you are on this forum communicating over the internet means that you have benefited from a public good, and therefore derived some benefit from taxes. We can argue about the value of things and what taxes should be, but a blan

Suppose a poor person makes $20k a year, all of this immediately spent on necessities and taxed, say at 5%. So their net tax rate is 5%. Now imagine a rich person making $200k, spending $100k taxed at 10% because of marginal increases, and

Interesting article. Also incredibly funny is that the ad shown to me at the bottom of the article (generated programmatically) was for natural healing tinctures.

Maybe it's just that hindsight is 20/20, but given how simple this trick is, I'm surprised this wasn't obvious to someone when declaring the policy.

I see your point. The interest rate in isolation is not the derivative (an exponential function is), but it does uniquely parameterize the derivative.

The parent means blunt in the sense of "sharp enough to cut things, but not sharp enough to cut things easily". This can lead to slips and need for excessive force, increasing the likelihood of injury.

Specifically, the problem is not having a large and young workforce productive enough to support the elderly population. Observe both the shape and growth trajectory of populations for America, EU, China, and other entities at: https:&#x2F

Rather than calling it the death of work, you could instead think of it as a change in the nature of our relationship to work. I am all for going into the office often, as I think complex collaborative projects need face-time to have a tigh

The point is that if your metrics are not stationary, then the variance in observations will seem higher than they really are if you don't account for time. This means you have to collect a lot more data before being able to draw a sta

This is a very interesting way of thinking about computation - do you have any sources you recommend?

If anything that paper looks really cool (not that I understand it). Transforming classical problems like graph isomorphism into a quantum algorithm is legit science and potentially extremely valuable.
