Is the score what makes a student a winner, though? That is what parents have to learn to curb.

You have read about Oxycontin, right? Totally legal and legitimate… Honestly: easily accessible opiates are known (history) to do a lot of damage.

There is the always elided “constant coefficient”, which the press release does not even mention.

Yes, of course. Sorry. It is an asymptotic result, so the meaning of "distance" is very blurry in my statement. I was replying to the previous comment which seemed to imply that knowledge.

It is a specific statement by Liouville: if you can approximate a number "very well" using rational numbers, then it must be transcendental. https://mathworld.wolfram.com/LiouvillesApproximationTheorem... My state

Exactly: algebraic numbers, despite not being periodic, are in general "reasonably far from each other", and especially from rationals. I guess the problem can be solved using what you say, certainly. It is only transcendentals th

Well, I honestly was worried about you. Glad you are not annoyed.

Hey, you are right, totally. But the tone of your reply is off. Take it easy, it is not so important.

by pfortuny 5y ago
Yes but it does nothing of the sort…

Just a piece of unsolicited advice: do not reply personally. Take your time and let people just say their thing and leave it at that. It is not so important.

Less is more as a cult in “design”. And because it is a cult, it is always right.

The SciAm paper says “ the so-called normal distribution of statistics assumes that there are default humans who serve as the standard that the rest of us can be accurately measured against.” This is so stupid that SciAm has lost any credib

@dang: just realized the title is wrong (end-to-ENCRYPTION encryption).

Yes but as the matter is still just political in the UK, there is no reason for the government to pay for a side and not others,

That law (in this case) is so difficult to enforce that it matters very little.

Well, it is his expertise. Have you read “the body keeps the score”? Really enlightening.

Wanted to say the same thing.

So they are hiding important information from their shareholders? And they think that is a good thing... Ah, no. They think that will give them more money. Nothing to do with goodness.

That means to irritate but guess he meant exonerated.

Yes. They have no global design, so in essence they are meaningless because the only function of each tile is “to fill space”, albeit in a “coherent” way.

Oh, yes, but the cures of individual people cannot wait.

The way you wrote your first paragraph is, honestly, condescending, whether you intended it or not, and gives exactly that impression.

Zero interest rates create artificial events, the longer the rarest. This is uncharted land. What can people do with their money if bonds are “worthless”? Keep it in the bank? No: invest. And now comes inflation. When you play with fire (as

This has changed and now the last author in a long list is the most valuable.

Yeah… good luck with that hope. Have you haerd of Exxon? The Sacklers held on for 20 years on Oxycontin…

I find it honestly strange that 12 weeks is deemed “long-term”, or am I missing something?

It is a bit overkill but the Unabomber was the subject of a “medical” experiment too… Talk about unintended consequences…

Hi! Thanks a lot for this. I have an issue (on MacOS, not Linux) with trying to read pdf files from Firefox, as it only lets me set packed apps (.app) as commands to run for specific downloads. I have tried and tried and no solution is comp

The fact that its day-to-day application it is “legacy” is probably a good thing, as reinforced concrete is already “legacy” in tha sense or stailess steel.
