I disagree. If we punish financial innovation like this then maybe we'll get innovation that doesn't facilitate egregious scamming like this . I don't happen to see why financial innovation has to require a complete disreg

Python is a pretty terrible language for large scale development. The main reason is that it's effectively impossible to isolate code without physical separation. The upshot is that you end up heavily reliant on testing and byzantine d

That's all fine if all she ever did was preach. No real harm done. But that's not what she did. You can't dismiss someone's actions because they believe they were doing the right thing or that the impact was unimportant

As I understand it, Bell showed that, if quantum mechanics is correct, then any deterministic hidden variable theory would either have to be non-local or non-causal. Aspect et al demonstrated experimentally that quantum mechanics is correct

It may well fork under those circumstances but we've seen, multiple times, that a fork isn't terminal. You just usually end up with a dominant fork and the others tend to wither. So the real question is, would the dominant fork be

The article specifically points out that the study establishes neither a causal direction nor whether or not there is a confounding factor. The study has a small sample size and is based on self reporting, so by no means definitive, but I s

I don't see any evidence that Russia is broadly retreating. Evidently they have retreated where Ukraine had a strong offensive but it would be a remarkable coincidence if that was the bit that they were planning on nuking. And only tha

In case anyone's interested, from what i can tell from reading other writeups, there is no "honest fork" check. Each fork will independently deal with inactivity until they're able to finalise. If that's the case, t

I have a question if I may. What mechanism is deciding who pays inactivity leaks? It says that if a minority stop attesting then they will leak until eventually the attestors get to a supermajority. That makes sense. It also says that, if a

The guidelines are linked at the bottom of every page including this one. In practice, pretty much any topic where people can remain civil is generally ok.
