Do you think it's a problem that people are inundated with rage bait and scams? That's it's own "bubble". People aren't getting educational and uplifting material shoved into their feeds.

If these hypothetically had no impact on the rest of the business, and were just an arbitrary payment, they would be the difference between Google having more profit than Apple, and vice versa.

And since it's discrete, you can use finite differences. a = sum_1 n^3 / 2^n = sum_0 (n+1)^3 / 2^(n+1) = (1/2) (1 + sum_1 (3n^2 + 3n + 1)/2^n) b = sum_1 n^2 / 2^n = (1/2) (1+ b

The article pains to distinguish "free algebra" from "sums and products", but a "free algebra" is a ring, and a ring is an abstract representation of sums and products. Yes, for the mathematician there are fine

To be fair, it's pretty nasty that the Rules are named ambiguously, where a critical part of the "Rule+" of interest is something (the background pattern) in the CA system but outside the Rule system. It's fixable, but

More complex how? Both are abstract and can simulate each other. The difference in complexity would wend into practicality arguments that don't apply in Turing world. Turing machine uses a tape, which is equivalent to two stacks, and a

"Python" doesn't exist though. It's silly to claim that Python is more powerful just because it doesn't tell you what it's going to do (run on some limited hardware) and C lets you choose. Reality is fundament

A negative is just a reverse of a positive. In this case, proving (infinite) A is greater than (finite) B is the same as proving A is not less than B. Tada, negative proved.
