Don't know, but you still end up aligning common subsequences (advanced monotonically in both seqs) and you still have the same order-of-computing-cells allowed in the standard m*n dynamic program. Your restricted problem is basically

I don't know about the mathematical result (the conditional proof), but I do know that it's easy to expand or limit the edit operations, or change their costs, while keeping the dynamic program order the same (so not e.g. allowing

The name "Wagner-Fischer" is new to me. I usually cite this as Levenshtein [1965]. Even the Wagner-Fischer wp page notes that Levenshtein was first by a long shot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner%E2%80%93

Does it help to have a brokerage that has only 401k rollover IRAs and another brokerage that's used for backdoor roth? (I'm guessing not). I've been postponing a 401k rollover for the reason you state.

Dying vs. merely damaged is a red herring. Interesting fact re: 9 yo => making eggs/sperm - good comment overall. "Effect wouldn't be as strong" why? Re: 'regardless of age': you can't rule out genes th

Methylation is super interesting, but I prefer to keep a broad focus on "what differences in the prenatal/postnatal environment?" for explaining most generation-spanning environmental effects.

Fascinating. Also entirely consistent with genetic determinism by the usual natural selection story - 9 year olds who survive starvation have bad-ass genes, etc.

I think Google can do better than just "not at fault". Many of us have avoided (chain reaction or other) accidents by evading a would-be rear-ender (although this can backfire in that if you use up your cushion you may then be pus

Since there's no real reason to break this promise, I'm guessing it's a symptom of speechwriter/teleprompter politics. I guess you can't expect that most of the words from a politician even made an impression as h

Most of the prison stabbings are included in violent crimes stats. I guess some rapes may not be, though. Rape in prisons is surpassing non-prison rape (which is almost nonexistent) but it's not routine either - 10x higher rate per per

I don't think that's the main cause (for-profit jails and police/prison-unions are surely primary), but the argument does work - incarceration costs the public far more than it could save in suppressed wages, but the companie

The purpose of a publicized hash is that you can produce the content later and assert that you had authored it prior to the time you publicized the hash. This is proof to the extent that generating text to hit a given hash is really hard.
