Dan Carlin proposed the theory that Trump understood that only trying to win the GOP primary is a winning strategy for the primary.[0] Basically the primary caucus is a lot more radical than the general electorate and normal candidates have

If my opponent would use that move, I would probably consider it as a severe case of rule of cool. ( But this may be the reason, that I prefer RPGs to chess. )

Depends, if your old hash is H1, then you can migrate to a scheme H2(H1(password)), with a second hash H2, provided H1 is not too broken.

Usually Keynsian economics is understood as economic thought that is based on aggregate demand, this is for example the view Wikipedia takes. [1] From there it is straightforward to argue that higher wages lead to higher employment, a view

Actually, Keynes called his book General Theory precisely because it included unemployment, in the context of Keynesian economics usually called the output gap. So "no involuntary unemployment and, indeed, no money" is a insult

Original title "Why it's all right to be more horrified by the razing of Palmyra than mass murder," I had to cut a word to conform to the character limit and could not think about a good alternative title for the post.

Depends, if you are a realist, then there is a field; if you are a anti-realist then the electron is not real but only a convenient shorthand in the first place. Compare http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-rea

I really like the idea of complex dark matter, because there be dragons.

Science is not broken, but the scientific process is severely misrepresented. I can only really speak about physics, but at least there and I believe also in other fields, people do experiments, observations etc. and then write papers on wh

It should be possible to vary the sleep states of the processor, at least if you are root. That should give you something like 50 W amplitude. No idea how that would look on the other side of the power supply.

This sounds like the reasonable interpretation is, they are reading the passwords for MS accounts like hotmail. But IANAL, perhaps one should use the most hostile interpretation possible.

Why not just let the patient choose, set a restrictive default and allow individuals to relax this default. So in the case of assisted suicide, it seems more reasonable to surgically remove the heart, than to first use poison and then remov

Can somebody comment, if this actually means that one can essentially solve SAT with a quantum computer? In particular: The algorithm prepares a superposition of all possible variable assignments, then the algorithm evaluates the

In this context, the particles that appear in the Standard Model. So a quasiparticle can be understood in terms of the underlying structure of matter ( a crystal in this case), a 'real' particle can not be understood in terms of s

Someone should perhaps point out, that the article talks about quasiparticles. Quasiparticles are a bit similar to the particle aspect of a quantum mechanical wave. So for example deformations of the lattice of an crystal are sound waves, b

If anybody else has the problem that the first and last word of each line is cropped, just disable the ".after-body, .article-body" css. This brings back the scroll bars.

That depends, how do you quantify progress or rate of progress in physics? To compare directly to technology, Moore's law seems to indicate a accelerating pace of technology. On the other hand looking back to the 90ies progress in comp

That is horrible code, there is not just de-de but also de-at and de-ch and fr-fuck-it-I-will-not-look-it-up etc. And the program should treat all equally. ( I would suggest equally badly.)

Not really. Pentaquarks are a prediction of the Standard Model (SM), but nicely they are a true prediction. The standard model was constructed to contain mesons (2 quarks) and hadrons (3 quarks), so the discovery of tetra and pentaquarks is
