a homeomorphism to the image is not the same as a homeomorphism.

This isn't true. Knots are not topological spaces, they are imbeddings, K:S^1 -> S^3 (more generally, S^n-> S^n+2). Therefore there isn't an obvious notion of homeomorphism. What the poster points out is that restriction t

I have never disagreed more with a comment. You can fully decide that you're not interested in mathematics, after having taken all of the math classes that you could possibly be offered before university, without ever encountering a pr

It's much easier to collect evidence for gambling itself than to collect evidence that a match was thrown.

If a person arguing on hackernews can't understand the scam that requires a 3rd grade mathematics education, bthen I don't have a lot for the general public.

Safety, for non-proliferationists, does not refer to meltdown risk. Safety refers preventing the large scale enrichment of uranium.

Humans are pretty optimized for intelligence. It's not the only evolutionary pressure we face but it's a pretty important one, and it's notable that we haven't seemed to get much bigger brains in hundreds of thousands of

Microsoft possesses, to put it lightly, a number of government contracts. I think this puts them in a bit of a pickle.

Sure, a graph is connected if it has a spanning tree, which requires |E|>=|V|-1. Presumably a graph is only highly connected if it has more edges than this minimal requirement, so we have |E|>=|V|, and this graph must have a loop.

This quanta title has to be rage bait. I don't think they could have constructed a more annoying title.

Garbage in garbage out is fine here, no? I hate google quite as much as the next person here, but this seems like a non-issue. If I type in a random string, it should be assumed that I'm searching for something .

Failing to look at totality during an eclipse because of too coarse public health guidelines (predicated on the fact that you're an idiot) is tragic.

During totality, there is no danger to your eyes to looking directly at the corona. You can tell on account of how it isn't bright.

I believe that you don't have the perspective to understand my claim, because you are a believer. I would very much like you to try though. I claim that religious scholarship and religious fundamentalism are one and the same. You'

Scholarship on the Quran means what, to you, exactly? To me it just sounds that he's an expert in convincing people that it is god's will to implement his agenda. Taking the Quran as a source of absolute truth and then taking th

I got one of these way back as well. The design is not good. It performs it's main function well, but everything else it does it does stupidly. For instance, the lid didn't have enough threading, and as a result would spill coffee

Businesses don't raise prices to "keep margins the same", they raise prices to maximize profit, adding a transaction fee generally has unpredictable effects on price, including possibly lowering your optimum price. I bet this
