Exploration vs exploitation. If the ad has a high CPC and there isn't enough targeted inventory, it's worth showing it to random folks to see if a new target market can be identified.

I disagree that irreproducability is the key. The central part of "full faith and credit" is the fact that the US accepts US dollars as payment. Which is important, because it can place debt obligations on people. In short, the US

That's not saying that the Word is a function in the programming sense. It's saying that, if you're doing static analysis of a program, there is a mathematical function that models the Word's behavior. In particular, it&

I believe that it technically is not. The program has no efforts to reduce the number of carriers of the recessive gene. The impact on the 'genetic stock' of the population is minor, if any, and is not the goal of the program. The

It's worth pointing out, the reason why data breach notification laws exist is because one time the relative of a California state congressman had their identity stolen because of a data breach.

Compared to a lot of other coins, DOGE has been around for a long time and basically counts as an established, respectable institution. It had a very active community, it sponsored a racecar. And unlike most coins, it has a very concise and

In fact, one would need context to conclude that "crypto" refers to cryptography, and not something else like cryptozoology or cryptofascism. There's also probably at least one legitimate metal band with "crypto" in

Are you making the distinction that most MtG decks are not Turing-Complete? Is that what you mean by "specific and artificial construction?" I think most people assumed that Turing-Completeness requires a specific and artificial

I'm not a domain expert, but I would assume that "approaches based on sampling" could be O(1). If so, the slowness would be based on the scaling, not on the constant.
