   I'm really curious because I've heard this idea of starting a startup by buying an existing bank a few times on HN - has anyone done this before?

   I think comparing (using <) pointers to unrelated objects is undefined behavior. So you do not get a consistent ordering.

   Did you try diffbot? It's the same service Pocket uses for parsing.

   Edit: seems like people misunderstood, I meant the tractor company structures it like a lease but it is effectively a sale. For instance, unrefundable upfront cost of $10k, per annum cost of $1 after that.

    If we really put this into law in a way that works, what's going to happen is that companies will stop selling people tractors and instead lease them to people for an unlimited amount of time for a one-time payment, or something simila

    This is fascinating. I'm pretty sure the wikipedia page implicitly assumes that pirates are superrational ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superrationality ). A group of superrational players may choose an outcome wh

    Is it possible to set up a mirror of debian core repositories that do use cumulative diff, so that end users can use that repository instead? I'd be happy to try and configure/host such a thing if there's no difficulties.

    I'm working on a similar web-based emulator for the version of MIPS my school uses (UWaterloo, CS 241). We have to build parts of a compiler for the course and I was sick of hand-simulating my compiler's output to look for bugs.

    Both you and the article are right - you are analyzing it in the frame of reference where the center of the earth is stationary, while the article analyzes in the frame of motion where the center of the rocket is stationary. Since the frame

    Since you seem to already familiar with integer factoring, isn't factoring large integers something that "solvable by QC, and unsolvable by classical computers"?

    The article states that he's gotten job offers before that were he couldn't accept, presumably because he failed the second kind of background check. Would the employers generally tell someone the reason for rescinding an offer?

    Why is he failing background checks if he's never been non-wrongfully convicted? Genuinely curious to hear from anyone with experience on the employer side of this.
