I think they're working on a version that's just "Water, Soy Protein Isolate, Pea Protein Isolate, Dipotassium Phosphate, and Titanium Dioxide", so you and Pollan can eat that.

Or you already knew how a microscope works, and performed that step implicitly like the rest of us did.

So wait, you're saying the reason for the lens to begin close to the glass is the same reason the lens should begin close to the specimen? How did you come to that conclusion?

It seems reasonable to me that the plaintiff would have to establish the elements of their case before requiring any response from a defendant (though of course response should be allowed). Only after a court has found that the defendant n

Probability of 1.0? Are you sure you're doing the right math? What's the probability after 6,400 years? 2.0?

The spheres are spikey, too, in the sense he means. Fix a small radius and consider balls of that radius centered on the surface of the sphere as you increase dimension. The volume of such neighborhoods that intersects the original sphere

To everyone who "doesn't understand", go read the "about Nix" section of the link.

Your comment is at the bottom of a long page, which adds latency to it being reviewed. When it's in the positive it gets downvotes by people who didn't think it was very funny and people who don't want to encourage that kind of joking. Whe

A bunch of balls in the air? This thing seems to do one ball in the air. Useful for physicists studying a lone hydrogen ion interacting with a vacuum.

We should give people a number of votes proportional to how much money they have, to give wealthy people more incentive to stay.

You have a duty to read before you sign a contract. In this case, they can claim you tricked them into thinking you'd signed the form contract, and that they relied on that agreement when they provided you care. IANAL, but I suspect you w

Snappy "replies" might not hold as much weight in a legal setting as you imagine.

You should be careful just adding "not", because they can always claim they didn't notice you modified the agreement (I'm assuming no one on their staff signed or initialled your change).

I don't know how it scales either, but I'd guess that if your proofs grow even quadraticly with code size then you're doing something wrong. Exponential growth is just clearly wrong. Note that even for SMT solvers, there is not exponential

Right, and if your program uses a linked list, the state space is infinite! Correct programs written by humans are correct for reasons that don't require exhaustive case analysis.

The comment about the cost of formal methods growing "exponentially" with project size is clearly false.

I assume you mean it's the easiest way to make a website from your phone. Which is like being the easiest way to cook in the shower.

That's not practice. It's just your theory. I dislike this rhetorical device.

You're being lied to and manipulated every day, but not just by some cabal of evil billionaires. Your auto mechanic is performing repairs you don't need and billing you more hours than it really took him. Your local grocer is arranging the

Did you actually read the agreement? Kliment is correct. The inventors are granted an irrevocable license to sub license the patent to any target of offensive use of the patent. IANAL, but presumably existing licenses on a patent are atta

Is one of the four words "awesome"? But in seriousness, I agree with you that in many endeavors the ideas are as important as the execution. Hell, in software, much of good execution is just good ideas on a smaller scale.
