I see. Does it disrupt your use of the computer in any way? In other words, if you weren't looking at a CPU monitor, would you notice?

Yeah, that does seem like a rookie mistake. Does the extra CPU use typically cause any visible issues to the user, though? User impact is what's most important here. I don't particularly care if my CPU works a little harder than

Who was comparing him to any Fields medal winner? You said his papers were of "very limited quality." That's what I'm saying is untrue. That isn't to say there aren't some stinkers in the mix. Anyone who pu

You seem to have an extremely high standard for what isn't of "very limited quality," if one has to aspire to the level of Grothendieck, Goedel, etc. . I've just barely skimmed the first few years and found several serv

Hmm... one of my professors who was a collaborator of Erdos is also a bridge player. Was Erdos any good at bridge?

That would be surprising. But, my experience has generally been that when a result of Euler comes up in class, it's more frequently preceded with "this was published by Euler but not really rigorously proven." Standards of

> Most (not all) of Erdos work is considered of very limited quality Are you kidding? Do you have an example of a paper that you'd say was of "very limited quality?"

I don't think the degree to which Erdős optimized his life for math is underrated at all. I'd say it's a key feature of what made him who he was, and you'll hear about it in anything involving him that goes past just th

No, I was asking if web search was a market independent of ads. BTW, newspapers also make money from subscriptions and sales of copies, so your analogy is doubly wrong.

So? Wikipedia is one of the most convenient, large English corpora available, and I doubt there are many significantly different ways to write the bit of functionality that's built up here. I'm not sure if that's what you&#

Clickbait title. "Taxes" refers only to income taxes. Obviously, income taxes do nothing to huge, accumulated, generational wealth. Edit: especially when you have individual families that haven't had an "income"

Then, why wasn't evidence uncovered earlier? Surely the theory had just as much plausibility a year ago as today. Are you asking me to believe a theory for which all the evidence was either not uncovered or destroyed? Why is that m

What about that article convinced you? All I saw was some concern about safety protocols 2 years before the outbreak, some content free insinuations, and a whole lot of "we don't have any evidence." It's not a crazy the

I think the downvotes on our comments should tell you how extensively it's being discussed. It's not. The people actually running things like it that way.

Bingo. Schools in the US are usually funded by property taxes, which leads to all the effects you just named.
