Your comment is comical, given the state of labor laws in most of Europe. True, those labor laws are under attack, but they still stand, and such layoff would be so costly there that they could hardly happen. 4 months is not generous, it is

We had a very specific use case, where the input was a known composite, and some properties of the factors were known. Also, while no fast algorithms are known (and may never be depending on if p=np) some are faster than others depending on

A colleague of mine had invented a technique for factoring composite numbers, that he thought would be quite fast. I thought a little about it and saw that it would degenerate into sat solving. I checked taocp and indeed my colleague's

How hold are you? Even if he had you in his forties, you would be more than eighty now. I don't know much about epigenetics, but I would be highly surprised if this had anything to do with that.

Launch rlwrap sbcl Instead of sbcl directly to get all your line editing niceties. As far as IDE are concerned, Emacs and the slime module are unbeatable, but it may be difficult to ease into them. There are many tutorials online. You won&#

It always bugged me that delivering far away gave more money than delivering close by. So if you have two oil rigs and two refinery, one each on opposite corners of the map, you are better off making the oil cross the whole map than the obv

In France, diluting your wine will get you the guillotine ;-) The legal drinking age is 16 for low alcohol content beverages (wine, beer, etc) ; 18 for all alcohols and tobacco. At a family gathering or on a special occasion you may get a g

That is not how it works. The author of the transaction decides the transaction fee. If nobody has put a high transactionnfee in their transaction, you can't include it into the block you are mining.

Do not ship to your real address, use a dead box. Your vendor may be an informant, or may become one, while your address is in their file. The rest is mostly good advice. You can add plausible deniability by running tails out of a USB stick

See for example : https://docs.synthetix.io/synopsis Basically you mint only a fraction of your collateral (typically 15%), so even a huge downturn of the price won't leave anybody hanging, and you provide a set of inc

Emacs can reasonably well display html, but when it fails I can open the email in a web browser in two keystrokes.

France in a NATO member and did not participate in the Irak war. This war has nothing to do with NATO. It just happens to be waged by countries which are also in NATO, but the two are unrelated. And the claim that the Irak war was just (a b

This is what Anarcho-capitalism would look like in practice. The ICIJ is a treasure. They are awesome for breaking stories like these.

When they will be able to do it in practice, the protocol will change to use a quantum resistant hashing algorithm.

It's close if you count it in francs, and include all services. This article [0] says that France Telecome gave 700 M FRF to the operators, which means that 1,050 M FRF were collected in 1986 alone. [0] https://www.nouvelobs

The number was 12. It was discontinued in the early 2000 IIRC. You would call, get a human operator and could make complex queries like get the number of somebody you knew the sound of the name (but not the exact way of writing it) in a tow
