Rephrasing the argument made in the post, math was like a "take a book, leave a book" exchange where you solved a problem, and in the process you discover more problems so the pool of interesting open problems is renewed. What Ope

The US pays much more for drugs than any other country. I guess one possibility is that no one has any leverage and big pharma is able to charge Americans more because they're richer. But the more popular theory is that countries can n

I always wondered why almost all the kids bikes sold in Canada have coaster brakes. I actually thought all kids bikes had coaster brakes until I saw some at Decathlon with hand brakes (turns out it's a French company).

What I mean is this movie is so bad it will ruin it for the next "Coyote" movie, so they don't want anyone to see this movie. Maybe the only compromise that works is to put it in a time capsule and not open it for 100 years.

There is some value in not having a "Coyote vs. Acme" film released this year (either by Netflix or the Library of Congress) because they could try to make a profitable version soon but people may not give a new version a fair cha

I think your first proposal addresses the root cause. But the second proposal - forcing municipalities to write options with unlimited potential losses - is silly. The whole point of the zoning authority is to say "it'll be best f

According to the article: "all charges that providers impose at their discretion, i.e., charges not mandated by a government." So they wouldn't need to include your school excise tax. If they charge different fees depending o

That's basically what Audi has (at least in some older models): it's a scroll wheel that also works as a d-pad. It works pretty well with Android Auto (no experience with Apple Car Play). Mazda also has a similar-looking interface

And for this particular attack, constant time isn't even enough! You would need either constant power, or limit the frequency when running secure code (which again reduces performance).

Until consumers demand this as a requirement, it won't happen. Almost everyone would rather have a compiler/language/OS/ISA/CPU that's finishes faster some of the time, rather than one that finishes at the same

Paying someone to plan a trip for you is definitely not a product, so not a MVP. Running a course is closer to a full-fledged product (more than a MVP) for a company that sells courses to students, but Maven is a platform for creating cours

I think to actually poison the well, we should add code to existing repos with dead code clearly labelled as "the way that things shouldn't be done" that are wrong in subtle ways. So every time we fix a security issue, we kee

But only the best examples of GPT-3 output will be worth putting on the web, so even without any code improvements in future GPT-x models you can still expect an improvement in quality. A writer (human or AI) should be able to improve by wr

I don't think there was a way to hide this from Twitter once it was executed, since each hacked account got a password reset email. Assuming that you can't hide it from Twitter, then it's a fine strategy to make sure that eve

I think your anecdote only shows how much discretion the immigration department has in enforcing the law. That same discretion could easily go the other way if someone were to embarrass Japanese authorities.

Thank you. The game description in the article didn't really make sense since it skips the (impossible) claim that: 1. Every row has an even sum 2. Every column has an odd sum

If you could shoot 100% deep twos, you'd only need to make 67% of 3-pointers to make it better to shoot 3's. The typical FG% is about 60% for layups, and 40% for 3's. You'd have to get better at these deep 2's than

You can use some form of leverage to allow the possibility of 1000x jackpots by using leverage - options, leveraged ETFs etc.
