It kind of depends on how you define prime numbers. Usually, one says an element p of a general ring is prime if p|ab implies p|a or p|b. This property does not necessarily hold for the "smallest" divisor of a given element of you

Huh? There is an abundance of shows in America about rich people.

Hm yeah, I was thinking of something more natural, like requiring the G(n,z)'s themselves be analytic on some domain. Anyway, sure the Riemann zeta is important, but I'm not sure how it's canonical.

What bothers me is that it seems there could be many ways of writing 1 + 2 + 3 + ... as the "specialization" of a formal series depending on a variable z, and for which the formal series converges to an analytic function on some d

Also, the lowest or "first" key on most pianos is an A.

I have a much bigger problem with the driver who is too busy talking on the phone or giving me their card to even take the exits the GPS is telling them to take. I can't wait for self driving taxi services.

I just don't understand what I'm supposed to get out of it. 30 minutes a week is plenty for me and we usually run out of stuff to talk about anyway. What if I have no issues with coworkers, I'm not burnt out, and I like my pr

Just a counterpoint: I would be incredibly annoyed if my manager suddenly wanted to start talking to me for 30 minutes a day. I much prefer the hands-off, stay-out-my-way-and-let-me-do-my-job approach, which thankfully is exactly what my cu

Yeah, I don't even think most people in the US would use the word migrant to talk about someone from Canada. When I hear "migrant worker", the image in my head is agricultural workers coming from Mexico.

Maybe Google figured it out from the activity your link provided in the last 8 hours, but when I click on [1], the top result is [0], and there is a prompt asking if I meant "united.com".

So since the "internet" existed in the 70's, nothing exciting happened in the 90's?

There were no self-driving cars in 2006, and electric cars seemed like a far off dream.

I don't understand the idea that VR will make business travel unnecessary. What problem does VR solve that video conferencing doesn't? The ability to turn your head? The reason business travel, and in general non-remote work, is w

It's not just any department, but a department that specifically deals with diversity and race issues.

I don't think the Assistant Vice Provost of Academic Student Affairs Outreach has any role so pragmatic as aiding in grant preparation. I think they spend most of their time responding to emails and attending meetings about recruitment

Adjuncts are supposed to fill in the gaps when there are more classes than can be taught by the full time faculty. The real problem is that as admissions increase, rather than creating more tenure track jobs, they create an adjunct position

I didn't mind them, but I definitely scrolled until they were off screen when starting to read the text below.

Couldn't one use the same reasoning to argue that open-sourcing an iOS app isn't really "open source", since you need proprietary hardware to properly run it?
