If things were different, things would be different, certainly. But things are not different, so things are not different.

On top of being generally worse in terms of content (if only for layout), they also SEO heavily and derank any better wikis. The only two fandoms (ha) that have had their independent wikis consistently rank higher I'm aware of are bulb

I don't believe cases where changing your strategy in a non-equilibrium state are considered, as the assumption that no other player will shift their own strategy will not hold. Otherwise, you might as well consider the case P1 always

The nash equilibrium is defined by a strategy that cannot be improved by changing your own strategy, assuming the other players' strategies stay the same. Agent 1 doesn't care if Agent 2 and 3 win less than him, he only feels a st

What relationship does this anecdote have to this scenario exactly, other than tenuously drawing a connection between Google and baby grinding?

It's largely unknown if there's any emergent behaviour given H1(H2(m)), for any two hash functions H1, H2. It's fully possible that your Uberhash function has some vulnerability that can be easily exploited regardless of the

Despite the math typo, (4/3)**4 is a pretty interesting composition of pi, if only because you get such a fundamental constant out of a relatively simple arrangement of low natural numbers.

You can certainly treat it as a nicer interface into the BEAM VM, but it's certainly possible to never write a line of Erlang while being an amateur Elixir developer. Though I'll have to defer to others if its also possible as a p

lxml is supported (mostly) out of the box for BeautifulSoup, so you can it as a parser behind BS4's nicer interface, which I believe the OP does in the linked codebases.

Queueing at the front would imply that there's a possibility of never being served. Queueing at the back never has that being the case. It seems to me that the math about the queueing isn't properly weighing that scenario.

There is, it just requires that the field be clear of others employing any of those tactics, otherwise they'll naturally dominate with their much louder megaphone.

Hah, is this some type of meta commentary about bad UI/UX in the service industry?

Civilizations have ended in a much shorter timeframe than that. Just this year, any pretense of civilization in Afghanistan, for instance. Its not the entire world, but for those without the means to relocate, what difference does that make

I'm not seeing how using the internet as analogy is at all relevant to the discussion about corruption. The internet, if it has resistance to catering to special financial interests at all, is only so because it is far removed from tha

Based on my uninformed reading, these super trains are beyond what the existing rail infrastructure was designed for, and therefore are significantly more likely to derail, while also being more expensive to clean up when they do detail.

You have to consider at least the minimal context of the Eisenhower quote, i.e. that it's _Eisenhower_'s quote, who in no uncertain terms could be considered anything close to a pacifist or idealist, he understands that military m
